TICKET TO RIDE
Music and Lyrics by John Lennon and
Paul McCartney
I happened to hear The
Beatles’ “Ticket To Ride” being played as an oldie one day in early 1969, and
upon hearing it this particular time, decided the tune would make a nice ballad.
I arranged it for the two of us, and the resulting recording became our debut
single. Released in October of 1969, it remains one of my favorite
Carpenters’ recordings. In 1973, Karen re-recorded her drums and lead
vocal on the track for its inclusion in the
Singles 1969 – 1973
album. Guitars were added at the same time.
