Good Morning Good Morning vs. Good Night

Good Morning Good Morning- Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967
~written by John Lennon and sung by Lennon
Good Night - The Beatles (The White Album), 1968
~written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, sung by Ringo Starr
Remember, THESE are my own opinions and they may be totally, 100% different than yours so no hate please!

Compare: There is one thing right off the bat that everyone can tell why I put this in the 'compare' section, both of the titles have "good" in them and also times of the day. They are both close to the same times in which they were made and for a little bit of a twist, Ringo actually got to sing a song! Both songs are both written by John, which means that they have kinda the same style of sound. 

Contrast: Following the way of John's mind, he has ways of changing up his songs. Good Morning Good Morning starts out with a chicken crowing (legit right!) and then goes to a brassy, big band sound. With Good Night, it's almost the complete opposite, quiet strings that sound like a lullaby. John's voice is hearty and airy, you could even imagine what he would look like singing the song, with Ringo, he has a deep, bassy voice that makes him perfect to sing a lullaby like song. 

Likes: The backstory behind Good Night was that John wrote it for his son Julian as a lullaby and would sing it to him before he went to sleep at night. HOW CUTE IS THAT?! Then having Ringo sing it was 100000000x more adorable. Good Morning Good Morning is actually my alarm when I wake up in the morning, quite fitting. 

Dislikes: The only dislike I have is that my heart drops whenever I listen to Good Morning Good Morning because it reminds me of getting up and going to school haha!
