i love this song. does anyone else find it.. sort of creepy in a good way... it gives me shivers when i listen to it. Something about how simple the lyrics are, repeated over and over, over and over. There's the light part: 'i want you', then the harder guitar part 'she's so heavy'. It makes sense it being about obsession. The part that's almost creepy to me is the last part, with no words, just the guitar for minutes and minutes. Somehow they're able to sustain it, and you don't notice at first, but slowly this white noise gets louder and louder until it's louder than the guitar - it reminds me of static on a cassette or video tape - sort of like on 'The Ring'-but they didn't have either of those things when the song was written. The tension is building, and you think it will go on forever, and then suddenly - right in the middle of a guitar phrase - it just stops - and immediately goes on to the next song. That's what creeps me out - it's like they didn't mean to stop, and someone just pulled the plug from their guitars and shut off the lights. Maybe the end part means nothing and it was just them having a good time, but still, it's really cool.
