‘Come Together’ is one of the standout moments on The Beatles‘ album Abbey Road. One of the final songs to be recorded, thanks to John Lennon rehabilitating from his traumatic car crash, the track has become a rich part of the Fab Four’s iconography.

But what makes it even more remarkable is that among the hundreds of songs the band wrote, it was one of John Lennon’s favourites. Speaking to David Sheff about the track, he once said: “It’s one of my favourite Beatle tracks, or one of my favourite Lennon tracks, let’s say that.
