Beatles statue sculptor Andy Edwards joins Tim to explore Misery, a deceptively bright early Beatles song with a surprisingly rich backstory. They examine its origins backstage in Stoke-on-Trent, its status as the first McCartney/Lennon cover, and the musical details that make its brief 1:47 runtime so distinctive — from unison vocals to George Martin’s half-speed piano.
