#49: ‘If I Fell’- One of seven songs from A Hard Day’s Night to make the Hans Hot 100. This song was primarily written by John Lennon with help from Paul McCartney. John would describe it as his first attempt at writing a proper ballad. The highlight of the song for me- the two part harmonies between John and Paul on the song. I’ve always loved this song- and look at it ranked at #49 and think that is way too low- but- this is The Beatles…

I ADORE THIS SONG and the way they sing it with the harmonies is true aural perfection.
One of my faves.
Such an amazing song. Fantastic example of John/Paul harmonies
very fine song. I’d say it should be higher than #49…but when you think of it, maybe there might well be four dozen Beatles songs that were better.
hard to separate the greatness…
I love that a fantastic Beatles song like this one can be ranked 49 because there are so many good ones.
at this point so hard to separate songs in an order. If I did the list again in six months it could be totally different… ‘If I Fell’ has always been a favorite..
