I'm A Loser is the second in the John Lennon trifecta that lead off Beatles For Sale. And the blue mood started with No Reply just digs itself a deeper hole. This album is the turning point where John's lyrics become more introspective, and consequently more real.
Just a few of my many favorite moments:
- John and Paul's exquisite harmonies in the intro
- The jangle of John's acoustic guitar, followed by Paul's bass entrance
- John repeatedly hits a low G
- Paul's walking bass line during the chorus
- Ringo's cymbal work
- John's raunchy harmonica
- George's country picking on the solo

What a great pick from The Beatles' backlog. Always good to read something from you.
