Get Back
Beatles Revival Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.

Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta

Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta





Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Get Back by Beatles Revival Band tell two different stories, the first one belonging to Jojo, who left his home in Tucson, Arizona, and went to California to smoke some grass, feeling lonely until he realized he needed to go back to where he belonged. The second story belongs to Sweet Loretta Martin, who is believed to be a woman but later revealed to be a man. All the girls who knew her say she deserves what is coming to her, but Loretta takes whatever she can while it lasts. The lyrics end with Loretta's mother waiting for her, urging her to come back home, wearing her best attire - high-heel shoes and a low-neck sweater.

That sounds incredible. Your vocals are so close to Pauls, it is even scary. Is that a AKG C314 mic? I can't get enough of this video. The playing, the the vibe, the colors, even the cuts and camera movement is a bit like they did it for the Get Back documentary. Outstanding work! PS: In the documentary is a scene that shows Paul coming up with the song. This really blew my mind!

Instant Entertainment

Hey n0x! Thanks for the awesome comment. I'm David (The bass player and singer), I recorded the vocals using an AKG c414 on a Hyper-Cardioid pattern, it was a little risky considering the amazing amount of bleed but I think it actually helped give the whole mix some extra body. I also did the editing and color grading of the video to try and emulate the look of the 16mm Kodak film they used on the Documentary. I love analog shit so I'm pleased you appreciated that extra touch.

​@Instant Entertainment You did an amazing job there! I'd love to see and hear your take on let's say..Monkberry Moon Delight. Will there be other Beatles covers? By the way you should have started twice, telling your band to play a bit faster :D

Instant Entertainment

@n0x There most certainly will be more covers coming soon! I would also like to release a few of my own songs so we’ll see how that goes. Hoping you’ll be there for the uploads to come ❤️
