Norweign Wood

The Beatles Rock

"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" by The Beatles, typically performed in the key of E major, is a folk-rock song released in 1965 as part of their album "Rubber Soul." The song was primarily composed by John Lennon, with contributions from Paul McCartney. Known for its distinctive sitar riff played by George Harrison, "Norwegian Wood" tells the story of a clandestine affair and the subsequent burning down of the narrator's lover's apartment. Interestingly, the song's title was inspired by a piece of furniture in Lennon's home, and its lyrics were influenced by Lennon's extramarital affair. With its melodic charm, innovative instrumentation, and introspective lyrics, "Norwegian Wood" remains one of The Beatles' most beloved and influential tracks.
