Only a Northern Song – Steven Cockroft

Send us Fan Mail

Tim is joined by former Nothing Is Real podcaster Steven Cockroft to explore Only a Northern Song. They examine George Harrison’s frustrations with publishing and ownership, the song’s layered self-referential lyrics, its dense psychedelic production, and its uneasy place in the Sgt. Pepper era before finding a home on Yellow Submarine.
