The Beatles changed their songwriting styles and techniques a lot throughout the 1960s.
John Lennon once revealed how discovering the music of Bob Dylan in 1964 had a particular effect on his writing, The Express reports. He said in Anthology: "In Paris in 1964 was the first time I ever heard Dylan at all. Paul [McCartney] got the record [The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan] from a French DJ. For three weeks in Paris, we didn’t stop playing it. We all went potty about Dylan."
The following year, in 1965, Lennon released You've Got to Hide Your Love Away on the Beatles' fifth studio album, Help!
