Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.2/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

One of my least favourite tracks on my favourite album. Pleasant enough. Beautiful arrangement . Lyrically weak. Who exactly is the "you" in this song? Key line "and when at last I find you.." huh? You mean all this love Paul has been expressing is for someone he hasn't met.
How something very complicated can be turned around into something easy. The Beatles worked on the song while staying in India, and although the music came together easily, the words remained unfinished. Even a session with Donovan couldn't help Paul get the right words. Eventually he settled on some very simple, but quite effective words of love.
at 1:45 it's a tiny little masterpiece.
Possibly the Beatles' most underrated song.
Nice little McCartney song :)
A lovely Paul McCartney track. Short and sweet, it's a beautiful little song that pleasantly takes up a few minutes of playing time. It's not particularly memorable, but it's nice enough. Not much more to say than that really.
I don't know what it is about this song but it is one of my favs on the album
