comment
A Hard Day's Night is the third studio album by The Beatles, released in 1964. In the US, the album was released with a different track-listing as the soundtrack to the film of the same name.Noteworthy for being the first Beatles album to feature all-original material, it is the only album the Beatles ever made that was solely written by Lennon-McCartney. The other early albums all had cover songs, while the later ones all had at least one George Harrison (and/or Ringo Starr) composition each. It's also dominated by Lennon like no other Beatles record, as he's the primary composer on ten of the thirteen songs. Tracks like "A Hard Day's Night", "And I Love Her", and "Can't Buy Me Love" were hit singles, while "If I Fell" and "Things We Said Today" have become fan favorites.

Face on the Cover: A group of photographs featuring each band member, lifted from the film's poster.note  The middle shot of Paul is framed with two other photos of Paul looking toward that picture with disturbed expressions; on the film's poster, those pictures flanked a shot of a smirking Wilfrid Brambell as Paul's grandfather. The alternative cover shows only four of those, up until their eyes.

Malapropism: The album title was supposedly a phrase by Ringo Starr, who after a long day of work said: "It's been a hard day," then noticed it was actually dark outside and added: "...'s night." However, it also appears in Lennon's book In His Own Write which came out while they were shooting the film, so there is some doubt as to who originated it.

Step Up to the Microphone: George Harrison sings lead vocals on "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You", and co-lead vocals on "Tell Me Why" and "I'll Be Back". On the other hand, this is one of the few Beatles albums where Ringo doesn't get any vocals. As mentioned above, John Lennon dominates this album, leaving just three full Paul McCartney lead vocals ("And I Love Her", "Cant Buy Me Love", "Things We Said Today").

Misogyny Song: "You Can't Do That" is from the POV of a jealous, possessive boyfriend who does not like his woman talking to any other men at all. Lennon later regarded the lyrics as an Old Shame.

Break Up Song: "Tell Me Why" where the protagonist wonders why their relationship ended, "I'll Be Back" where he says he'll leave when she breaks his heart but will be back again nevertheless and "I'll Cry Instead", where he has all kinds of intentions, but decides to cry instead over the broken relationship.

Truck Driver's Gear Change: "And I Love Her" shifts keys (from C# minor to D minor) starting with the guitar solo, the first Beatles song to do so, and definitely a popularizer for this technique in Rock songs.

comment
Last Note Nightmare: Inverted with "A Hard Day's Night," which kicks off the album with an in-your-face, dissonant Dm7add11 chord on the guitar, accompanied by a piano chord. After starting out in C# minor and shifting to D minor, "And I Love Her" ends on a somewhat jarring, previously unheard D major chord (an upward shift that musicologists call a "Picardy third", which is often associated with hymns).note "I'll Be Back" also uses Picardy thirds at the end of its stanzas.

Lyrical Dissonance: "You Can't Do That." Although the singer threatens only to dump the girl, his reasoning makes it creepy—"That's the second time I caught you talking to him." That's a reason to end a relationship?

Surprisingly Gentle Song: "And I Love Her", as an acoustic, Latin-tinged ballad with some fairly mature Silly Love Song sentiments, was a big departure for the group at the time, and was the first Beatles song to gain the attention of the traditional pop music community.
