"Fixing a Hole" is a song composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and performed by the Beatles. It was released on their 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". The song was recorded on February 9 and 21, 1967, at Abbey Road Studios in London. The song is in the key of A major and features a 4/4 time signature. It is a mid-tempo rock song with a catchy melody and a distinctive guitar riff. The lyrics describe a man who is fixing a hole in his roof, but the song is widely interpreted as a metaphor for the creative process. The song is divided into two distinct sections. The first section features Lennon's vocals and acoustic guitar, accompanied by McCartney's bass guitar and Ringo Starr's drums. The second section features McCartney's vocals and piano, accompanied by Lennon's guitar and George Harrison's lead guitar. The song is notable for its use of unconventional instrumentation, including a harpsichord played by McCartney and a distorted guitar solo played by Harrison. The song also features a prominent bassline, which was recorded using a fuzz bass effect. "Fixing a Hole" was well-received by critics and has become a fan favorite. It has been covered by numerous artists, including Neil Young, Alice Cooper, and the Flaming Lips. The song is often cited as an example of the Beatles' experimentation with new sounds and techniques, and their willingness to push the boundaries of popular music.
