Not only does the melody fall out, so does the chorus and half the lyrics. This is a mind-blowing piece of film.

[andrewvincent]

This is one of Paul's most legendary songs and it was composed strumming his bass while waiting for John to show up. The guy was such a genius it's not even funny.

[Strathclydegamer]

It’s just mind blowing, they’re sitting around waiting for John and this whole new song just falls out of Paul’s head. George is giving positive feedback, Ringo’s already working out the percussion… then John walks in, sits down and immediately picks up on it and joins in.

The Beatles fully deserve to have their music listened to until the last human dies. To never be forgotten.

We would never have Get Back if John wasn't late, cheers John!!

[andruwinter]

I feel like I just watched something extremely magical

[arminmne]

This is the most monumental piece in the history of the docunentary films.
An absolute treasure.

[dylancates]

Creative Musical minds with instruments creating songs from scratch. True singer/songwriters. The way it should be!

[yusuke]

Watching Paul making this song out of nothing is so mesmerizing

[franbacon]

Paul was really the heart of this band. If it wasn't for him, this group would have ended way before 1970. Thank you, Paul!!!

[RockyRaccoon]

That folks is the genius that is Paul McCartney!

[silvesterlanga]

Hes mind flowing like a wind. This made me think how genius are sir MacCartney

[CMinorOp]

Brilliant!
Wonderful we get to see the origins, half a century later, which is weird to think about!!

[Wayo]

From zero to Get Back in a few minutes. Wow!

George & Ringo are sitting down. George has his guitar on his lap and looks sleepy. Ringo looks a bit tired and hungover.
Paul walks in, ready to work.
There's some conversation.
Paul plugs in his bass guitar to the amp. He starts playing some chords he's obviously been working on.
George yawns (probably thinking how much he doesn't want to be in this cold studio, when he could be riffing with Dylan & Clapton in Malibu, instead of being here with Mr. Bossy pants and passive- aggressive John.)
John is somewhere else in the studio.
So, now, Paul's got his own groove going with the beginnings of "Get Back." George wakes up. Begins to strum his guitar (which is not gently weeping). Ringo starts finger drumming. Now, John, listening to the fun, walks over (wearing Yoko's fur coat), flings a magazine on the floor, sits down, picks up his guitar, and starts playing. And, that's how the song, " Get Back, " began.
Sleepy Ringo, uninterested George, distracted John, and workaholic Paul.

Paul George and Ringo had already played on "Sour Milk Seas" (a George's song sung by Jackie Lomax), which ends with the words "Get Back, Get Back to where you belong. You don't belong here". That's the reason why Ringo is singing the bit... he's already familiar with !

[con_doorman]

I'd laugh if McCartney actually wrote it at home the night before and just pretended it happened spontaneously.

[NSound]

Hahahaha Lennon is late half an hour and McCartney already has composed a new song for Good Morning 🤣🤣🤣 If that's not amazing I don't know what else is

[elainajourney]

The random closeups of Ringo are kind of hilarious

[intelligenthorsemanshipwit]

This song is a McCartney - Starkey composition - Ringo’s keeping it alive while George yawns and nearly kills the moment - with a crucial moment of input from Harrison (“musically that’s great”) and no apparent input from Lennon whatsoever. He worked out the guitar solo.

As far as I can tell, there’s fragments of it in the movie, not shown here, it also owes a composition credit to Billy Preston, not simply for the fact that he composed the electric piano part and kept the band together, renewing their enthusiasm, but I reckon it’s Preston who came up with the punchy BAM BAM chord sequence (G, D) that stops it being a boring blues jam in A.

[DanSchroeder-jr]

Christ imagine the pressure of being a songwriter in that band.
