"Her Majesty" is the name of a song written by Paul McCartney (although credited to Lennon-McCartney) that appears on The Beatles' album Abbey Road. "Her Majesty" appears as the final track. It was originally placed between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam". Paul decided this sequence did not work and the song was edited out of the medley by Abbey Road Studios tape operator John Kurlander.

The fourteen seconds of silence between "The End" and "Her Majesty" are the result of Kurlander’s lead out tape added to separate the song from the rest of the recording. The loud orchestral blast that occurs at the beginning of the song is the last chord of "Mean Mr. Mustard". "Her Majesty" ends abruptly because its own final note was left at the beginning of "Polythene Pam". Paul applauded Kurlander's "surprise effect" and the track became an immortal closer to the LP. The clumsily-edited beginning and end of Her Majesty shows that it was not meant to be included in the final mix of the album, however, as McCartney says in Anthology, "Typical Beatles - an accident". Consequently, both of the original sides of vinyl closed with a song that ended very abruptly (the other being I Want You (She's So Heavy)).

At 23 seconds long, "Her Majesty" is the shortest song in the Beatles repertoire. ("Revolution 9" is the longest of their official releases.) The song was not listed on the original vinyl record's sleeve as the sleeves had already been printed; subsequent pressings and the CD edition correct this. Revolution 9 is an experimental recording which appeared on the Beatles 1968 self-titled LP release (known as the White Album). ...

Cokemachineglow.com - Decemberists: Her Majesty the Decemberists (964 words)
Instead of lyrically bringing the song to a conclusion, each chorus finds a different chord with each return before finally finding the most stirring progression to bring the song full cycle in a triumph of clever musical storytelling.
A song that wouldn't sound out of place on the self-titled Band album, Colin offers "As I Rise" as more of a companion piece for the album, an one-on-one backstage performance after the complete experience of Her Majesty rather than a separate movement.
Not only does Her Majesty top their debut in nearly every way (despite not having a single song that is as ingeniously structured and executed as "Odalisque"), it manages to hold as much promise and life as "California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade" had us hoping the band would continue to embody.
