"He pensado en todas las canciones que tengo y son todas tirando a lentas", empieza diciendo Paul McCartney en el segundo día de rodaje del documental que debía dar buena cuenta del proceso de creación del album Let it be. "Hasta ahora hay dos que sé que podría tocar en directo, sin acompañamiento", sigue. "Yo tengo Taking a trip to Carolina", dice Ringo, en ese momento detrás de un piano. Necesitan temas sobre los que empezar a trabajar, inspiración para echar a andar. "Nunca lo había pensado. Nos escaqueábamos de clase todos los días. Volvíamos a casa y los dos nos sentábamos allí a componer", dice Paul McCartney, hablando sobre cómo él y John Lennon trabajaban a diario en canciones en su adolescencia. "Tenemos muchas de esa época. Tenemos ahí como cien canciones que nunca nos planteamos, porque eran todas muy poco sofisticadas", dice. Y empieza a cantar algunas estrofas de Just Fun. Cuando terminan dice: "Creo que esa nunca llegó a funcionar".

Como señala uno de los mayores estudiosos de The Beatles, Joseph Brennan, las canciones que se quedaron en el baúl durante las sesiones de Get Back representan a la perfección "el cenagal que supone meterse a enumerar canciones inéditas de la banda". Como apunta este experto, "en primer lugar, ¿llamamos a ensayos y versiones de los Beatles de versiones improvisadas y parciales? Y luego está el problema de que aún se están filtrando más cosas de Get Back [como ocurre con el nuevo documental de Peter Jackson The Beatles: Get Back]". Muchas de ellas las puedes escuchar en el disco que se lanza junto el documental de Jackson en Disney +, el resto están repartidas por aquí y por allá a lo largo de los tres episodios de la miniserie.

¿Qué canciones no llegaron al disco original, pero pasaron por las sesiones de Get Back?

Por un lado están las viejas canciones que compusieron Paul McCartney y John Lennon (más de cien, dice McCartney en el documental): Hot as sun, I lost my little girl, I fancy me chances, If tomorrow ever comes (I'll wait till tomorrow), Just fun, Thinking of linking, Too bad about sorrows, Wake up in the morning (Because I know you love me so) y Won't you please say goodbye.

Por otro están improvisaciones que la banda empieza, pero que se dejan a medias por los siglos de los siglos: Commonwealth/White power/Can you dig it medley (de Lennon y McCartney), How do you tell someone (Harrison), I look out the window (Harrison), I'm going to pay for his ride (McCartney), Madman (Lennon), Negro in reserve (de Lennon y McCartney), Pillow for your head (McCartney), Shakin' in the sixties (Lennon), Taking a trip to Carolina (Starr), There you are Eddie (McCartney) y Watching rainbows (Lennon).

Luego están las que empiezan en estas sesiones y se terminan más adelante. Así, como destaca Brennan, McCartney empezó Another day, Back seat of my car, Every night, Suicide y Teddy boy. Lennon comenzó a darle vueltas a Child of nature, que más adelante se tituló Jealous guy y Give me some truth. George también tenía unos cuantos temas en la cabeza durante las sesiones de Get Back: All things must pass, Let it down, Hear me lord, y Isn't it a pity.

¿Qué canciones incluye el documental de Peter Jackson de The Beatles?

Por si tienes curiosidad, aquí tienes el listado completo de todos los temas que interpretan The Beatles durante el proceso de creación de Let it Be, que han recopilado los fans del grupo. Es una forma excelente de ver sus influencias reales (Chuck Berry, Elvis, Bob Dylan... sobre todo Dylan) y cómo algunos de estos temas pudieron tener alguna influencia en los catorce temas originales de Let it be.
