Imagine: creating an original movie musical using the Beatles' songs as its score and inspiration for the story. The challenge: from a catalogue of two hundred songs, which ones to choose and how to musically arrange them to bring a fresh perspective appropriate to the specifics of the story? It was a challenge and a privilege my collaborators and I enthusiastically embraced. We decided on 30 songs to tell a star-crossed love story set smack in the midst of the turbulent sixties. With minimal dialogue, the idea was to have the songs forward the action and the emotions, as if the lyrics were original thoughts emanating directly from the hearts and minds of the characters. From blues to soul, rock 'n roll to British music hall, folk rock to circus to the ragas of India, the influence and inspiration on the Beatles music was immense. By putting the songs into the mouths of six very different principal characters we were able to tap a wide range of sounds and styles. In rearranging each song to fit the specific context of the film we had to make difficult choices about what elements, such as guitar licks and vocal harmonies, to retain or to let go. Whether we chose to use those familiar instrumental phrases or not, they still have a presence, like some friendly ghosts in the room. Many of the arrangements were altered in tempo, harmonies and instrumentation, dictated by the dramaticcontent of the film. We were blessed with an extraordinary cast of actors with great, natural voices and we were honored with the participation of Joe Cocker, Bono, Eddie Izzard and Salma Hayek, who brought tremendous personality to this film. I also want to thank all the musicians and especially the music producers, Elliot, T Bone and Teese for their enormous creative contributions to this thrilling ride. Julie Taymor

Come Together
Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola He say I know you, you know me One thing I can tell you is you got to be free Come together right now over me He bag production, he got walrus gumboot He got ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker He got feet down below his knee Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease Come together right now over me He roller-coaster he got early warning He got muddy water he one mojo filter He say one and one and one is three Got to be good-looking cause hes so hard to see Come together right now over me
If I give my heart to you I must be sure from the very start That you would love me more than her If I trust in you, oh please Dont run and hide, If I love you too, oh please Dont hurt my pride like her Cause I couldnt stand the pain And I would be sad If our new love was in vain So I hope you see that I Would love to love you If I fell in love with you
