===="Baby's in Black"====
As the third track on the album, "[[Baby's in Black]]" conveys the same sad and resentful outlook of the two preceding songs.<ref name="Erlewine/AM" /> Unterberger views it as "a love lament for a grieving girl that was perhaps more morose than any previous Beatles song".{{sfn|Unterberger|2005b}} It was the first song recorded for the album{{sfn|Lewisohn|2005|p=47}} and features a two-part harmony sung by Lennon and McCartney. McCartney recalled: "'Baby's in Black' we did because we liked [[waltz]]-time&nbsp;... And I think also John and I wanted to do something [[blues]]y, a bit darker, more grown-up, rather than just straight pop."{{sfn|The Beatles|2000|p=160}} Beatles historian [[Mark Lewisohn]] cites the band's dedication to achieving a discordant twanging sound for Harrison's lead guitar part, and Martin's objection to the song opening with this sound, as an example of the Beatles breaking free of their producer's control for the first time.{{sfn|Lewisohn|2005|p=47}}{{sfn|Hertsgaard|1996|p=106}} To achieve the desired swelling effect, Lennon knelt on the studio floor and altered the volume control on Harrison's Gretsch as he played.{{sfn|Babiuk|2002|p=134}}{{refn|group=nb|The same volume-swell effect was a feature in some of the band's recordings from early 1965,{{sfn|Babiuk|2002|pp=134, 159}} by which point Harrison had acquired a volume/tone-control pedal to create the sound.{{sfn|Lewisohn|2005|p=54}}{{sfn|Everett|2009|p=52}}}}
