It's one that can be read as a simple love song or, with hindsight, a meditative piece about the friends and musical collaborators that John Lennon knew he would eventually lose.
I'm going to watch the documentary about how it was made and then listen to it more tomorrow, both with speakers and AirPods to appreciate the different aspects of the music and singing.
