Fun facts

Beatles recorded I’ve Got a Feeling on a winter day, on the rooftop of their building. It was January 30th, 1969, during an improvised concert they held up there. The song was born from two unfinished tunes: one by Paul McCartney and another by John Lennon. In the end, they came together and ended up with something they didn't expect. In the middle, electric piano by Billy Preston gave that special touch that makes it unique.

The story behind

The Beatles recorded I’ve Got a Feeling on a winter day in 1969, on the rooftop of their building in London. It was a strange moment, an improvised concert that wasn't planned to be recorded. The song was born from two ideas that never finished: one by Paul McCartney and another by John Lennon. The first was called I’ve Got a Feeling, the second Everybody Had a Hard Year. Both merged into one, with the touch of Billy Preston on the piano.

The version heard on the album Let It Be was recorded on the rooftop, but before that, during the same week, they made another take in the studio. That one was later released on a compilation. The song has a gentle rhythm, with a piano that moves as if it were dancing. It's a song that is felt, not explained.
