Today’s Word:
Tortuous (adj.): full of twists, turns, or bends; twisting, winding, or crooked
Example: In 1970, Paul McCartney recorded his tortuous ballad “The Long and Winding Road” which became the Beatles’ last #1 song and coincidentially their last single released. The song, which is claimed to actually be inspired by a true tortuous road in Scotland, quickly became one of the Beatles’ most beautiful releases despite troubles with the torturous and crazy Phil Spector who insisted on post-production modifications. Spector actually succeeded with his pestering annoyance and he added into “The Long and Winding Road” an agglomerate of lush, but fake, orchestral sounds that The Beatles had been previously attempting to avoid with their “real” “Get Back” recording campaign. The Beatles broke up soon after proving that maybe it was not just Yoko’s fault but was also the fault of a stark-raving lunatic…that wasn’t Yoko!
“The Long and Winding Road”
