Oh my God. This "site(The Beatles Discography)":http://www.beatles-discography.com/ is amazing. You can look up just about any Beatles song, and find its history and meaning.
"Dear Prudence(My favorite Beatles Song)":http://www.beatles-discography.com/index.html?http://www.beatles-discography.com/beatles_songs_a.html was writen by John while he was in India studying Transcendental Meditation. A girl in the group, Prudence Farrow (who was Mia Farrow's little sister) was into mediation big-time, and went a little crazy. This was also the second song done after Ringo quit, so Paul took over the drumming.
"Good Night(my other favorite-ist Beatles Song)":http://www.beatles-discography.com/index.html?http://www.beatles-discography.com/beatles_songs_p.html was written by John as a lullaby for his five-year old kid, who wasn't sleeping well. Ringo is the only Beatle who appears on this track.
This site is so very excellent. Thanks to MeFi for the link.
