The three-song conclusion to the lengthy Abbey Road medley ends in poignant fashion, but before taking the listener on an interesting journey. The closing lines of “The End” that state: ‘And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make,’ fit in well with the Beatles’ overall dysfunction as a group and eventual break up. This collection of unfinished songs remains as powerful today as it did back in the late 1960s.
