John Lennon (in 1980) - "'It Wont Be Long' is mine. It was my attempt at writing another single. It never quite made it. That was the one where the guy in the 'London Times' wrote about the 'Aeolian cadences of the chords' which started the whole intellectual bit about the Beatles."
John Lennon (in 1980) - [in response to whether he actually did put aeolian cadences in "It Won't Be Long"] "To this day I don't have *any* idea what they are. They sound like exotic birds."
Paul McCartney (in 1994) - "We'd spot the double meaning... In 'It won't BE LONG till I BELONG to you' it was that same trip."
