    Some people have said that this was a Harrison throw away. I could not disagree more. I think this is one of George Harrison's best. I have always liked this song a lot.

    This isn't a backhanded compliment - the full band and isolation videos are great - but these explanation videos are significantly more valuable because they add insights that we'd be far less likely to figure out on our own or from other resources. There are many excellent video covers out there (Kanayama et al), but nothing else like this, where you dig into the details and explain them verbally. The currently shelter-in-place situation would be an ideal opportunity to do a set of videos like this for each song you've already researched and performed.

    Andrew, here's the thing that makes you guys extra-special: There are a lot of Beatles-tribute bands out there in YT land. But *you* guys are all so talented that you can not only replicate what "the lads" are playing, but actually get into their heads to try to figure out why they did the things a certain way. It's hard to know in the absolute, of course, but I believe you and Neil have sort of an "inside line" to what they were thinking as their songs evolved. It's fascinating, and every bit as entertaining as your covers of the songs. Keep up the great work!

  • @ronniechilds2002

    Sir you are unmatched at this. Your insight into their playing is without rival. I'm also a Mike Pachelli fan, by the way; he goes at it a little bit differently. I really appreciate what you do. As a kid I must have spent thousands of hours sitting by the family record player, lifting the needle and backing it up over and over, playing 45's at 33 rpms, all of that.

    @drutgat2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    As always, FANTASTIC stuff, Andrew. Many thanks.
    It sounds to me that John's descending chord, note plucking might have pre-figured the main 'I Feel Fine' riff - I know that he got that riff from Bobby Parker's 'Watch Your Step', so maybe this is even earlier evidence of John slipping this into a Fabs song.
    It has also just occurred to me that the title, theme and lyrics of 'Watch Your Step' might have influenced the title, lyrics and theme of 'Run For Your Life'.

  • @yensilluap
    @yensilluap 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    That was great! I read once where this song was basically dismissed as an early attempt of George to write a song and that it wasn’t up to his later standard- I thought that was rubbish! The song is truly unique with its ambiguity of minor and major throughout, and the number of chords he uses. It has a good, catchy melody and has a great overall mood to the whole song. The modulation in the middle bit is pretty advanced too, I would say. When I was a teenager I remember listening to the record to figure out the solo which was something you could hum in your head and seemed well thought out.

    You guys are so great at analyzing The Beatles' songs and breaking them down.
    I love the videos. I am an enormous Beatles fan as you guys seem to be.
    Can I ask if you could maybe do a similar analysis for the group Badfinger who were proteges of the Beatles.
    They had so much help from George Harrison and Paul McCartney.
    Jerry Molland's song Sweet Tuesday Morning could have been an offshoot of something McCartney himself
    wrote in his later Beatles period. It sounds like Blackbird in some aspects.
    GH did slide work and produced on Day After Day.
    It would be wonderful for a video about some of their songs.
    The song Better Days is one that comes to mind. It's a very underrated song.
