John Lennon: Paul and I wrote this when we were on tour. We nearly
didn't record it because we thought it was too bluesy at first, but when we'd
finished it and George Martin had scored it with harmonica it was
all right.
John Lennon (in 1980) - "We were writing it in a car, I think... and I think the first line was mine. I mean, I know it was mine. (humms melody) And then after that we just took it from there. We were just writing the next single. It was far bluesier than that when we wrote it. The notes, today.. you could rearrange it pretty funky."
Paul McCartney (in 1994) - "The thing I liked about 'From Me To You' was it had a very complete middle. It went to a surprising place. The opening chord of the middle section of that song heralded a new batch for me. That was a pivotal song. Our songwriting lifted a little with that song. It was very much co-written."
