@Joseph Scally Absolutely!!! I never realized how complex the harmonies were until I watched Galeazzo Frudua(sp?) do a vocal breakdown. John & Paul's voices together was truly something special!!!
Sometimes, you don't need to analyse the lyrics too much. They just write a lot of beautiful love songs. Great melodies and joyful feeling. Just enjoy them and smile !!
No, you can't tell anyone how to recieve a piece of music... it's such a personal experience. I love the fact Ambrose Cynthia responded so deeply to the lyrics, and that they paint a picture by themselves
Yeah I've always loved that . I had a friend years ago with a Live In Vancouver 64 bootleg where the voice breaks on the same note & there:s a little laugh after it .
Thank you for another great reaction, Cynthia! This beautiful love song was written by a 23 year old John Lennon, and its companion love song on the album, "And I Love Her" was written by a 21 year old Paul McCartney, with a little assistance from John. This is most definitely a song you should react to soon!! Best of luck to you with your channel!!
@@nonrepublicrat You could be right as the guitar work is very distinctive in this one. I'm just going off John's 1972 quote when he was discussing which of he and Paul wrote their songs, and on this one he credits Paul and adds, "the middle eight is mine." Thank you for sharing!!!
I think it's important to point out that at this time in their career none of them could read music! They each were self taught on their instruments. Ring set up his drum kit like he saw all of the other drummers because he didn't' know any better. Ringo is left handed but set up his kit like a right handed player. This though makes his drumming very unique and worked out well for him. They would write down the lyric but had to remember what chords they played by muscle memory. Repetition. Remarkable!
Early Beatles material was flush with wonderful love songs. So many great choices but this is one of my favorites. I've always felt Sade's Mermaid to be romantic eventhough it's an instrumental piece. Love to see your reaction to that one. Stay safe!
I want to compliment your face but I am not sure you would believe my sincerity because of how great the compliment. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am blown away by your face and smile. Now, have a great day. 🤗
Oh Cynthia, my dear... your sweet analysis after each and every song is always something special. Sometimes you don't even need to say anything, because the expression on your beautiful face says more than a thousand words. But what can I say ? These sweet thoughts you are sharing with all of your subscribers make all of your reaction videos so worth watching them... no matter what song or band you are listening to. As a next Beatles song, I would highly recommend the song with the self-explaining title "All you need is love"... Hugs and kisses : Gerry
Man I've been listening to this for 50 years now and it still kills me . In the film John sings it to Ringo , it's quite sweet . I always see the companion song is And I Love Her ... please check it out .
This song has all the elements you described, but it's also about cheating on someone (at least emotionally) in the sense of saying: "if you say you want me then I'll leave her and make her cry ... otherwise I'll stay with her." At least that's what I got from the lyrics. Not exactly the most virtuous of sentiments. But it's certainly a pretty song, at least melodically.
I just watched three of your reactions and you have heard some good Beatles songs. However, The Beatles were a long more than sentimental ballads. I wonder if you are open to something different from them? I recommend Strawberry Fields Forever and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Am enjoying the channel so far. You are lovely, by the way.
If you want an example of pure excellence, check out the song "Because" It was on the Abbey Road album (which is hypnotic) but they feature an acapella version on The Beatles Anthology 3 disc 2. It will show you the epitome of their vocal greatness. I will say "Your welcome" in advance.
He also wants a sly type of revenge. He hopes that she, his former unrequited love, will "cry when she sees we are two." Was he even in love before, or was his pride just wounded? That seems to be what he's most afraid of.
Shorter songs and Brevity, when you know HOW to use it, says so much more with less lyrics, yet speaks to directly to you and leaves you wanting more. instead of going on and on with a 5-6 min opera....about nothing....
Although John Lennon, who wrote most of the song, called it a ballad, the slightly faster than usual pace and Ringo's steady drumming imbue this with the feeling of something else. That is characteristic of many Beatles songs, to be different in some subtle way from whatever else was hitting the airwaves at the time. In this song in particular, the harmony of those two sweet but still male voices resonated with every high school girl while expressing the feelings of every high school boy who had neither the nerve nor the eloquence to say them out loud. American 'white' Rock and Roll was in trouble at the time. Motown was doing fine and Country/Western was making serious inroads into the mainstream. But with few exceptions, 'white' R&R was dying. The Twist, doowop revival and car/surfer songs had had their day. The British Invasion spearheaded by the Fab Four cleared all that away, allowing entirely new influences to make their way into the music scene on this side of the Atlantic. Unless you lived in that era as I did, it is difficult to understand the impact the Beatles made on music and elsewhere. They were fresh voices, talented above the norm vocally, instrumentally and in songwriting. They were both drivers and emblems of the changes going on in the psyches of the young.
lol....the lyrics to this song are terrible. First off, he wants the girl to promise to fall in love with him more than the first girl and then he wants the the first girl to cry when she finds out. Dude, get it together. Don't need anything from the second girl. Maybe that's what got you in trouble the first time. Just get to know the girl and don't fall in love until you just can't help it. If she breaks your heart, wish her luck and look for the next adventure. lol
@@kitoyobeni1 I think the lyrics are great. I think it's an honest view of the way many people think at the end of relationships. A lot of people want their ex to cry when they see them with another lover. It's a great juxtaposition, especially with the melody. I'm pretty sure Lennon saw the humor in it, they laughed quite often when playing the song live.
And it's very derivative of The Rutles' "With a Girl Like You", which begins, "Shoot me down in flames if I should tell a lie, cross my heart I promise that it's true, I've been in love so many times before ... But never with a girl like you" ;-) th-cam.com/video/RS73iuwxA7M/w-d-xo.html
The greatest rock band that has ever existed.

Me too! Chills and some heartbreak memories. I never get tired of hearing this song! Love The Beatles! Beatles Forever!
Perhaps the best example of the unique sound that Lennon/McCartney created when they sang together in the early days.
@Joseph Scally Absolutely!!! I never realized how complex the harmonies were until I watched Galeazzo Frudua(sp?) do a vocal breakdown. John & Paul's voices together was truly something special!!!
Like hot velvet syrup.

In my top 10 Beatles tunes. One of my favorite parts is at 2:32 Paul cracks on the high harmony and they LEFT IT IN! Outrageous and fun.
Totally agree.
I always noticed that but you,rs is the first time i,ve seen a comment on it. I never knew who broke tho.
This is the very first time that I noticed this! Wow! Thanks for sharing this bit of information.
Yeah I've always loved that . I had a friend years ago with a Live In Vancouver 64 bootleg where the voice breaks on the same note & there:s a little laugh after it .
Don't hear any cracks
One of the most sophisticated harmonies the Beatles ever did. Also, they modulate and change key before they even start the first verse.
I know, next level imagination
On the same album, now you should hear "And I Love Her" because it's like the companion to"If I Fell"
th-cam.com/video/2N7Y85OxpMc/w-d-xo.html
The Beatles connected to their audience by singing to them. Not singing about them. Forging a strong emotional connection.

Phil Collins was an extra in "A Hard Day's Night" when he was just 13yrs old. It's rare but you can find it on TH-cam.. He's in the audience
