[@dannyvine3605]

Paul wrote the part with the high extend notes(she … is… leaving… home). Lennon’s contribution was the countermelody and the lyrics from the father and mother part(we gave her most our lives…). The song is mostly written by mccartney, but its true that Lennon helped on it.Also, the record was not produced by George Martin as he was recording Cilla Black at the time. Nor did George Harrison or Ringo Starr contribute to the song.

"She’s Leaving Home" Inspired by a story in the Daily Mail about a teenage runaway, ‘She’s Leaving Home’ was described by George Martin as “not, strictly speaking, a Beatles song at all,” and “pure McCartney, from start to finish”. www.beatlesbible.com/

[@leftofpunk]

+Jonathan Cifuentes She was found 10 days later after it slipped where her boyfriend worked. She went back home.

[@janmarsh]

+Tony Boling You are referring to Melanie Coe Tony .... It's true Her story Gave John & Paul a story line. No contact was ever made with Melanie, although Paul came very close in the lyrics to the life she had led. In my own minds eye, I see a girl more reserved than Melanie .... More vulnerable. I like to believe the character of the girl in the song should be left to the listener .... Only Paul can explain to us all what became of Her.

How could she do this to me?’ [Chorus:] She (we never thought of ourselves) is leaving (never a thought for ourselves) home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by); She’s leaving home after living alone for so many years…”

@@MarkInLA They're not just the greatest musical (entertainment) act of the 20th Century but the 21st, 22nd and 23rd....... The Beatles did change the world 🌎 and for the better yes indeed. The influence they had on a global scale is is unequaled. Mikail Gorbachev Premier (President) of the U.S.S.R. from 1985 to 1991 once said ; ~ -- "More than any ideology, more than any religion, more than any war or nuclear bomb, the single most important reason for the diffusion of the Cold War was... The Beatles" - Mikail Gorbachev Yes MarkInLA you are correct. Although I didn't know the Beatles personally l am proud of them for being part of my generation. Oh Mark l can see you have intellect on music history so l would like to share something with you that has really got me very upset, frankly it's sickening. Rolling Stone's new top 500 Albums List updated last in 2020 has destroyed the history and legacy of the greatest musical generations contribution to music and culture. The reason for the change l won't respond in length with because it's just too upsetting for me to elaborate on.

[@SilverHammer1969]

I might add that RS Top 500 Album Chart from 2003 should remain the correct one, but ..... The reason Rolling Stone changed the list in 2020 was because of lack of female artists, people of color and unrelatable content to the younger generation of the 21st Century. I find this absolutely appalling. Like l mentioned in my other response l won't give my whole opinion on this issue but man would l love to. I'll say this though, are there any guitar players today as good as Jimi Hendrix or singer /songwriters like Lennon - McCartney or Bob Dylan 😎 or virtuoso musicians like Eric Clapton ∆ NO OF COURSE NOT ! But the current list has to put hip hoppers, rappers and the current wave of shallow female singers like (you know who l'm talking about) She's just finishing up a world tour. No we'll be forced to see her at every Chiefs game during the football seasons. Mark it's ridiculous and sad, so very sad. 🌏☮️❤️ 🍏 Apple Records 🍏

[@ThefightingCelt]

One of the best songs on Sgt Peppers . McCartney won an Ivor Novello award for best song of 1967 for this . The subject of the song is a real person , Melanie Coe , who was 17 at the time and who did run away from home with her boyfriend , a croupier , not from the motor trade , only to return home ( pregnant ) ten days later . McCartney , in poetic licence , changed the facts a little . McCartney had previously presented Melanie with best dancer award in the pop music show , Ready Steady Go .
