The Beatles - Octopus's Garden 1969

"Octopus's Garden" is a song by The Beatles written by Ringo Starr from their 1969 album Abbey Road.

George Harrison worked on the song with Ringo Starr; perhaps out of solidarity as his own songs being dismissed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

arrison commented: "'Octopus's Garden' is Ringo's song. It's only the second song Ringo has ever written, mind you, and it's lovely." He added that the song gets very deep into your consciousness "because it's so peaceful. I suppose Ringo is writing cosmic songs these days without even realising it.

The basic instrumental track was recorded 26 April 1969, with the classic Beatles lineup of two electric guitars (Harrison and John Lennon, the latter using his fingerstyle technique as on "Julia", "Dear Prudence", etc.), bass guitar (Paul McCartney), and drums (Starr). Starr also provided a temporary guide vocal. (Take 2 of the recording, featuring this guide vocal—Starr singing the first verse three times—is track 14 on Disc 2 of Anthology 3.) In the absence of George Martin the Beatles themselves were listed as producer, with Martin's apprentice Chris Thomas present in the control room to assist. Thirty-two takes were required before the Beatles were satisfied with the track.
