So “Something” sings Williams from Abbey Road from Abbey Road, marking the first time that another major artist has recorded selections from the Beatles catalog at this landmark.

Williams ends the album with a love of the Liverpool boys' late work: she opens the project with a version of the popular Get Back B-side “Don't Let Me Down”, then moves into “Let It Be” and ” I’ve Got A Feeling,” before ending with “The Long and Winding Road.” How Let it be, 1968s The Beatles (The White Album) also features prominently throughout the project, with “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, “Yer Blues” and “I'm So Tired”. While the two groundbreaking records lay the foundation for the project, the eclectic tracklist draws on strange endings from other eras, from hits like “Can't Buy Me Love” and “With A Little Help from My Friends” to the deeper cuts “Rain” and “I’m looking through you.”
