I Want to Tell You is het derde lied van de hand van George Harrison op het Beatles -album Revolver uit 1966 . Volgens Harrison gaat het lied over een "stortvloed van gedachten die zo moeilijk onder woorden is te brengen".[ 1]
The Beatles namen I Want to Tell You gedurende twee dagen op in de Abbey Road Studios in Londen . Op 2 juni 1966 werd begonnen aan de opnamen van het nummer.[ 2] Tijdens de sessies voor Revolver had George Harrison moeite met het bedenken van titels voor zijn nummers. Volgens Beatles biograaf Mark Lewisohn ontstond de eerste werktitel voor I Want to Tell You , "I Don't Know ", naar aanleiding van de volgende conversatie:
Martin : What are you going to call it, George? Harrison: I don't know.Lennon : Granny Smith Part Friggin' Two! You've never had a title for any of your songs![ 2]
De opmerking van Lennon over "Granny Smith " verwijst naar de werktitel van het eveneens van Revolver afkomstige Love You To . Vervolgens werd de werktitel van I Want to Tell You , na een suggestie van geluidstechnicus Geoff Emerick veranderd in "Laxton's Superb ", eveneens een appelras .
Op 2 juni namen The Beatles vijf takes van de achtergrondopnamespoor voor het lied op. Deze bestond uit piano , gitaren en drums . De derde take was de beste take en hieraan werden enkele overdubs toegevoegd: zang van Harrison, achtergrondzang door John Lennon en Paul McCartney , tamboerijn , maraca's , handgeklap en een extra pianopartij.[ 2] Op 3 juni werd aan de opname van I Want to Tell You nog een basgitaarpartij toegevoegd door McCartney.[ 2]
