La historia detrás
The song revolves around a New York doctor who prescribed everything —pills, tranquilizers, injections— and kept his patients permanently drugged. John Lennon wrote it with that figure of the "doctor who fixes you" in mind, although over the years he admitted it was also about himself: he was the one who carried the pills during tours. Paul McCartney says he collaborated on the writing, but most people attribute the song almost entirely to Lennon. They recorded it in seven takes on April 17, 1966 at EMI Studios in London, with the vocals overdubbed two days later. It was released on Revolver in the United Kingdom and on Yesterday and Today in North America. Musically, it is worth paying attention to the bridge: it modulates from A major to B major using an F#7 pivot chord, and that is where a harmonium and extra voices come in, completely changing the mood. The main melody is in mixolydian mode on B, and Lennon's voice is doubled with the two tracks slightly offset, separated into different stereo channels —that somewhat floating effect is no accident.
