Tim is joined by Beatles academic and author Christine Feldman-Barrett to explore Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). They examine the song’s storytelling ambiguity, its blend of warmth and emotional coolness, and its cultural impact as a depiction of a new kind of sixties woman. On the way they discuss mid-60s London interiors, the revolutionary introduction of the sitar and the wider influence of Indian music on George Harrison and beyond.
