Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and is notable for its innovative use of the sitar, played by George Harrison. The song talks about a fleeting affair. Lennon admitted the song was about an extramarital affair. It was among the first tracks recorded for the Beatles 1965 album Rubber Soul, marking a shift towards more mature themes and musical complexity.
