The thought of Sir George Martin's absence is just so weird, you know? Like, he was the glue that held The Beatles' sound together, and now that it's gone... it's like a puzzle with missing pieces

. I mean, can you even imagine those four lads without his genius behind the board? It's mind-boggling to think about how different their music would've sounded if they'd been producing themselves back in the day.
I love this new book that just came out, by the way - it's like a treasure trove of Martin's creative process, and seeing those handwritten scores is just incredible

. It really puts into perspective just how much he contributed to The Beatles' legacy, and I feel like we're only now starting to appreciate the full extent of his genius.
What I find fascinating is that this whole story about Martin's partnership with The Beatles is so... human, you know? It was all about collaboration and serendipity, rather than some grand plan or formula. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and voilà! History was made
