Yes, they (Paul) wrote it and sang it. I was just saying that they (Beatles) didn't play musical instruments on it. (And, I call playing the human voice singing. Tryit with somebody else's instrument.) I remember the shock I had when I found out that the main guitar work on While My Guitar Gently Weeps was not Harrison, but Eric Clapton. For the record, I like the Beatles. Being a word person, too, I attach importance to lyrics (though not so much to how they're generated).

Looks interesting. Thanks, etaoin. Thought I'd mention contemporary American philosopher, Arthur Danto, who has several books out on these kinds of questions: The Madonna of the Future: Essays in a Pluralistic Art World, The Philosophical Disenfranchisement of Art , Beyond the Brillo Box: The Visual Arts in Post-Historical Perspective, and others. Hilary Putnam and Richard Rorty are also contemperary and their books are rather accessible and available.

Of course, you might have as much success trying to play Anne-Sophie Mutter's instrument as you would trying to play Anne Sophie von Otter's. Still, folks who make their living singing *do refer to their voices as their instruments.
