I don't think of it as a "sunny" perspective so much as a new perspective. I think you put your finger on it, that the songs are much more personal to the particular Beatles who wrote each of them, rather than being collaborative efforts. It's as if they were able to access their individual reservoirs of creativity in a way they hadn't before.
