Carry That Weight


"Carry That Weight" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles, featured on their iconic album "Abbey Road," released in 1969. Written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the song serves as the penultimate track on the album and is part of the climactic medley that concludes "Abbey Road." "Carry That Weight" features a driving rhythm and anthemic chorus, with lyrics that reflect themes of unity, perseverance, and the burdens of life. The song segues seamlessly from the preceding track, "Golden Slumbers," and leads into the album's epic finale, "The End." "Carry That Weight" is celebrated as one of the standout tracks on "Abbey Road" and is often regarded as a highlight of The Beatles' illustrious career.
