"No Reply," "I'm a Loser," "Baby's in Black"--just reading the Beatles for Sale playlist is enough to make you listen to the album with a bottle of pills nearby. Color-as-unrequited-love-metaphor is done far more effectively in "Yes It Is," especially where twangy guitar and harmony are concerned; here, you envision The Beatles playing being a steel fence in some seedy country bar a la The Blues Brothers.
