Please react to Come Together by the Beatles, I think you’ll be surprised how different their songs and music is so different,
Dude how is it you never heard hey Jude or the who led zepplin. Were you in a prison you're entire life🤔
When you listen to the Beatles today you may just recognize their music as one of a genre. But you need to realize that almost every Beatles song was the first song of that genre. They created so much music, not just songs, music.
This is an important comment to make, as many of the reactors are reacting to music created 50-60 years ago, and they just don’t appreciate how revolutionary so many aspects of these songs are
@lindascott6902 Just as people don't know what it's like to carry dimes or quarts to make a phone call. They don't know what music was like before the Beatles. Then there's all the artists they influenced and inspired. The major fork in the music road of the twentieth century. 🎶🎵🎶 🎢☕️
Exactly!
They changed the world.
💯 spot on
Paul wrote this to John's son, Julian. John had left his family and became infatuated with Yoko Ono. Paul saw that Julian seemed to be struggling with his father's neglect, and wrote this in an effort to comfort him.
The message of not locking in the anger, and learning to forgive and move on with your life resonates with many people.
I'd suggest "Revolution" or "Helter Skelter" for an 'amped up' experience, "Eleanor Rigby" or "The Sun King Medley" for tight harmonies, "Strawberry Fields" or "I Am A Walrus" for a psychedelic vibe.
As others have stated, the Beatles rarely held themselves in a single musical genre for very long.
Was the song originally titled "Hey Jules"?
Paul is roman catholic. Nothing else better.
@@williamthelast1 Not necessarily
@@williamthelast1 McCartney was only baptized Roman Catholic to please his mother. His father was Protestant turned agnostic and Paul was fortunately raised non-denominationally. He was certainly not a practicing Catholic and religion has certainly not been a part of his life.
@@BobSoltis1yes. A lot of people think his lyric in “Let It Be” is about the Virgin Mary when he sings, “Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom.” But he actually was singing about his mom who was named Mary, died when he was a kid, and literally came to him in a dream to say to Let It Be.
By the way his second daughter, who’s his first biological child, is named Mary after his mom. Linda was pregnant with her when he recorded Let It Be.
Every Beatles album is completely different, they were always evolving!
Even crazier that they were only together for 10 years, with how much innovation and art they gave the world.
Yes! This!
@@thundacracka77 The albums were recorded in just 6 years. Absolutely amazing.
Yes.. quite unlike most modern music. The Beatles didn’t really have a “sound”, other than recognizing their voices.. each album, and often each song on a particular album were generally very different. Their “sound” changed and evolved throughout the decade with the later songs being almost completely unrelated to the earlier ones. They were learning and exploring, and the world learned and evolved along with them.
Because of Drugs!!!
lol
When I was 14 and asked my dad why everyone thought the Beatles were so great (I only knew She Loves You). He played me the White Album. Mind. Blown.
And that’s really not even the best one.
Please listen to Rubber Soul. While I love all the albums, this one is my favorite. It has "in my life" which John wrote after learning from Bob Dylan, that you (a Beatle) could write a song about your own life experiences (which Dylan did all the time.) It's one of the most beautiful Beatles songs ever .... ❤❤❤
@@lisamonderewicz2832 oh I have. One of my favorites. Also love being for the benefit of Mr kite on sgt pepper. Love George Martin's influence.
Abbey Road side 2 is my favorite. Hard to pick a favorite, because I love all of The Beatles' music, but Abbey Road side 2 is sublime!
@@lisamonderewicz2832we had a babysitter that got along great with my mom, and would come visit just to talk. She brought her Rubber Soul album to the house for my mom to listen to. Mom was hooked. She stated that by just a couple songs in she realized what incredible Musicians they were❣️
This was the first seven-minute song to make it to #1 on the charts. Someone told The Beatles that the radio DJ's wouldn't play such a long song. (most songs back then were about three minutes long). John Lennon answered "Yes, they will play it". When asked why he would say that, he said "Because we're The Beatles."
The live version of this is killer!!
So is this one.
Completely agree!!
I am happy that he is reacting to the record. The quality is better than the “live” version which is really just the Beatles playing over a prerecorded instrumental track.
You'd have to listen to 30 or 40 Beatles songs to figure out why they are the best of all time. The variety of styles is staggering, from pure pop gold through indie style tunes, psychedelic genius, beautiful anthems and everything inbetween
I'm not sure they ever did have a bad song. nothing was mediocre...
VERY TRUE!!
If you watch them perform this live on the David Frost Show (with the audience joining in) in 1968, it captures not only the song, but the entire spirit of the 60’s. The culture of the time, EVERYONE joining together. THIS is what it was like.
Agree 1000%.
So powerful.
💯!!!!
Paul to me is a vocal chameleon. He can sing in so many different ways and styles. He is arguably in the top 10 of greatest musical artists of the last 100 years.
And John is even better. I LOVE Paul's voice, and you are right, but... I'd MUCH rather listen to John's vocals. And George is no less a titan to Paul musically.
@@mick-i3y
George’s songs are really contemplative.
I saw an interview with Ringo recently and he credited Paul’s work ethic for making them what they became. If it had been up to the rest of them they’d have been a one album wonder. Paul drove them constantly into the studio to create!
Let it be, All you need is love, Come Together, I am the Walrus, Back in the Ussr, Across the Universe, Don't let me Down, Strawberry Fields, Here comes the Sun, Blackbird, Twist and Shout, Eleanor Rigby, All my Lovin, The Long and Winding Road, A day in the Life, Nowhere Man, While my Guitar Gently Weeps. Yeah. Do all of those. Basically do every Beatles song ever. You can't get the hang of their sound because they constantly evolved and innovated. Music literally wouldn't be the same without them. They are the G.O.A.T.
I love your points and you are right every Beatles songs are great.
Oh Darling is one of Paul's best.
Something, Hey Bulldog, Drive my Car, Norwegian Wood, In my Life, Girl, Lucy in the Sky, A Day in the Life. This is the greatest of them all. They influenced a whole generation & created a lot of the genres that exist today. They are simply the Greatest of All time🎸
Literally my favorite band of all time. I'm only 23 but people always tell me I have an old soul and this is music.
Love this ❤
I am old and this is my music
You don't need to be old to like Beatles music, as a lot of it is timeless and innovative.
I’m 45 now, in my teens in the nineties with GREAT music, but the Beatles were always my favorites, been there dude! The Beatles for ever
Just wait till you hear YES.
Imagine living in a vacum...all the music sounded the same. All of a sudden out of nowhere, new sounds over different years enters this vacum and suddenly there. New sounds, new songs, new ideas. That is the Beatles. Every song or album that came out was a whole new experience..a new taste. It was wonderful
Music now a days all sounds the same to me
It WAS wonderful!
What blows my mind is that I was about 7 years old when this song first played on the radio. I’m 63 now and people are still playing and enjoying it! 😮
I used to travel for work, 36 weeks a year, for over a dozen years. Corporate domestic and international banking. Anyone that's had that kind of career usually ends up spending A LOT more time in bars than they probably originally intended to. And it didn't matter which kind of bar, in whatever country, if I started "NA NA NA NANA NA NA" low and slow and building, 99 times out of 100, everyone at the bar would pick it up and by about the 5th refrain, the bar would be just this chorus of the end of "Hey Jude."
There's a medley on the Abbey road album that starts with the song "you never give me your money" and ends with the song "The end". It's a wonderful piece of music, but I don't know that it's a great place to start. There's another song from the sergeant Pepper's album called "A Day in the Life" That kind of changed the world when it came out. But the thing about the Beatles was that every album they released, after their third album, was unlike anything that had ever been released before. And after Beatles release, there would be a bunch of albums by other bands come out that sounded similar to the last Beatles album. Then the Beatles would release another album and it would be completely different than anything anyone had ever heard and the process would repeat... More imitators. Then, the great musicians said "let's not copy the songs... Let's copy the idea of making songs in a style that nobody's ever heard"... And that's when the whole music scene got creative and amazing. When you giving the Beatles credit for changing things, Thats how they changed things... They made it cool and commercially desirable to do something different. And that's why there was so much great art in the late '60s and early '70s
Come Together is one groovy bad ass classic by the Beatles. MJ even covered it!
Paul McCartney is singing on this one. He wrote it for John Lennon’s son, Julian, who was grieving his parents’ divorce.
And the A side of "Come Together" which is love song called "Something".
I grew up with the Beatles music & had most of their records. They were part of the British Invasion. You can't go wrong with any of their music. They had so many great songs in the 60's-70's. "Hey Jude" is a great song written by Paul McCartney to comfort Julian Lennon when his parents separated.
I was 13 when the Beatles came on the scene!! 💜👵🏼✌🏼
I heard that was why Paul wrote the song. Poor Julian. Poor kid, he was right. I think most people have grown to dislike Yoko Ono.
@@robinaddis-vaughn7271John Lennon's cruelty to his first wife (eloquently described by Lennon himself in "Getting Better"), among other things, was the cause of the dissolution of his marriage. Absolutely nothing to do with Yoko Ono. There are things to frown upon about Ono, I understand, but let's put the responsibility for the neglect of the kid and his parents' break up where it really belongs. On Mr. Lennon himself.
Oh, just in case you're wondering. I think Lennon was the coolest Beatle by far.
@@Azabaxe80 According to both of Cynthia's autobiographies, John hit her precisely once, while they were dating, and she read him the riot act and he never laid a hand on her again. That one incident has been blown completely out of proportion -- not the least by John himself. [Edited to add] And I'm not saying it's excusable -- it's not okay by any stretch. But it wasn't a pattern of physical abuse.
Mental or emotional, on the other hand...
11@@sharonpate5481
When Paul wrote Hey Jude, he asked the other Beatles if they had any ideas for the ending.
John - Nah, George - Nah, Ringo - Nah.
Paul wrote this song for John's son who was having a hard time adjusting to the divorce of John-Cynthia, and Yoko entering their lives. He is telling Julian to let her in....
You will NEVER have their “sound” figured out! That’s what made them the best and most innovative, imaginative and progressive band ever!
The 60’s and 70’s were the best years for music. Such experimentation and the sounds were always changing. Every album is a masterpiece! 💜👵🏼✌🏼🌻
That era from about ‘63 through to ‘89-ish is the greatest in history.
Today’s garbage offerings are completely soulless where it’s all about visuals and image.
Crap.
The Beatles threw away songs that would rocket to #1 today,or would they?
Today’s kids would never sit down and listen to a whole album with their finger hovering over the skip button.
I thank God I was born a boomer!
@@TheCornishCockney 80's were lame.... 90's were much better
Opinions,like arseholes,everyone’s got one.@@wichitadisciple9874
The 90s had its moment and in many ways took the 60s and moved it ahead
🤣@@marksklawer4596
Another historical note on this track was that up until this time, radio airplay was relegated to songs under 3-1/2 minutes in length. This was the first song to exceed 7 minutes in length and not only receive widespread airplay, but rise to #1 on the Billboard charts (like so many other Beatles classics). Another example of the Beatles breaking barriers and establishing new ground upon which artists would use to create new directions and creations.
A must listen is My Guitar Gently Weeps..
The Beatles featuring Eric Clapton... A great song both lyrics and music are stellar.
Eleanor Rigby and Yesterday are two that I would recommend, though there are sooo many to choose from.
th-cam.com/video/HuS5NuXRb5Y/w-d-xo.html
"A Day in the Life" isn't a top single, but it is one of the best songs, not just Beatles, ever written.
Every Beatles album has great songs. They are a legend for a reason they had a very diverse sound career.
When Paul sings this song at his concerts the whole crowd sings along its amazing to witness it in person
We got to see him a few years back and that was an amazing show. He played everything, had the best light show, and had the crowd enraptured the whole time. The most emotionally satisfying concert I've ever been to.
This Beatles rabbit hole will be the best thing you ever did. If you want to go down it, don’t just scratch the surface, because you will never understand the ruckus about them. You have to do a lot of songs. Why? Because EVERY song is unique and musically excellent. No two songs are alike and they were capable of crossing every genre: Pop music, rock music, blues, music hall style, sing-along-longs, lullabies, the first metal music, spoken word, children’s music, psychedelic music, ballads…you name it. All 4 members were frontmen, taking turns singing lead. Although John Lennon and Paul McCartney became the world’s most famous and successful songwriting team, George Harrison and Ringo Starr also became excellent songwriters, too! It gave the Beatles a huge edge against the competition. None had any formal musical training…they were all self taught! They had a great producer who had a Master’s in Music and helped them create everything they wanted to create, from string ensemble accompaniments to big orchestral accompaniments to crazy sound effects, to looping tapes to helping them create an old-fashioned 1920’s sound. It was all truly “Art on Vinyl.”
Do one song a week! The best way to do it is to listen to their music in chronological order. That way, you see and hear how they evolved into better and better musicians and artists each year!
If you're in an elevator and someone sings na na na na na na na, everyone, no matter what age, will sing "hey Jude". The song bound us all together. Still does. Magic. Lonely people find friends, sad people feel understood.
Don’t let me down by the Beatles is full of blues and soul and has the great Billy Preston on keys. Phenomenal song.
POLO ..that’s the thing about the Beatles. They have the ability to come out of no where with something you don’t expect. The amount they accomplished in 10yrs is phenomenal!
The reason you haven’t locked down their sound yet is because they didn’t have just one sound. Everything they did was new and groundbreaking at the time. They paved the way for so many bands to explore and do whatever they wanted. They changed music. Keep going!!! So many more songs to hear.
It's almost impossible to explain to modern audiences how revolutionary it was to have a 7 minute song on the radio back when most songs were 3 minutes and a "long" song was 4 minutes.
The "second half" of Hey Jude always takes me to a special place.
Now I have to go listen to it uninterrupted!
Michael Jackson Loveed The Beatles so much he bought all of their music rights.
Micheal Jackson was told of the importance of owning the rights to ones own music by Paul McCartney, when they were recording together - Paul told him of his intention to purchase the Beatle rights going for sale in a few months. Micheal Jackson went and bought them - had more money than Paul - so was able to buy them out... Paul and Micheal were never friends after that... that's the whole story...
TH-cam has been sticking drummers in my feed; drummers talking about how good Ringo was. And how he played to fit the song. So I am starting to pay more attention to that, finally. Just their lyrics and melodies are enough for one's brain, for the first decades😊
You should add - their musical compositions/ arrangements - BIG-TIME. Btw, some foolish people used to say that Ringo wasn't in the class of John Bonham or Keith Moon, BUT wiser people have learned from trying to play some of Ringo's drumming on particular songs and cannot do it. His ability to play "split time signatures" was damn near impossible to re-create. But even without that elemental challenge, just try playing the drums on "What Goes On" or "Act Naturally" - just for a couple. And there are songs that are MUCH more difficult.
Btw, I DO feel that John Bonham is the greatest *ROCK* drummer EVER, and Keith Moon may be right behind him. But to say that Ringo isn't in the same class is just plain stupid talk. :)
Watching you just vibing, and me knowing that the song is about to really take off, has brought me great joy.
When you listen to a Beatles number you have to remember what came before . They pushed the envelope in an era when stereo was a very new thing and the world was changing. The first satellite world wide link had the Beatles singing this. Everybody could nah nah.
I think you are thinking of John’s “All You Need Is Love”
There are live performances out there. I’m not usually a fan of live, but the love and participation of the crowd, along with really a really amazing performance is a sight to behold. The audience is singing every word, and wants the song to go on forever, and the Beatles keep it going just for them. They improvise, and share in the singing, and keep it going for ever. The connection is real, and you can see it. The crowd knows they are just a crowd, but the band plays to every one of them.
The most addictive repeated 11 syllables in music history!
I was just with my friend New Year’s Eve as he sang this to his father who was in hospice. He passed away two days ago. Some songs mean more than just music. They’re multi-generational. That’s what the Beatles are. I’m not a huge Beatles fan because I never had that connection with anyone parent or anyone from that generation who lived it. But lots of people my age are because of just that. My friend grew up with the Beatles. My two cents. Thanks for taking up the task of listening to one of the great songs, Polo!
I want my kids to sing Hey Jude to me when I die.
Hi Polo. react to Revolution. It is up beat. Beatles dont have a sound , they are vey diverse in their music. They did heavey metal before heavy metal existed (Helter Skelter).
and created psychedelia too!
Their discography is vast, and once you get into it you will be amazed at the sheer diversity of genres and styles from song to song. I'll list a few suggestions.
Let it be
Here comes the sun (written by george)
Something (also george)
A day in the life
Revolution
Eleanor rigby
Oh darling
Penny lane
Strawberry fields forever
Come together
I am the walrus
Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band
Yesterday
The long and winding road
Blackbird
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
You can't forget While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Norwegian Wood
Adding, In my Life...
There is 1 live performance of this on The David Frost Show. It’s amazing.
And yes Paul has a lot of soul. Oh Darling! being one of his biggest or Monkberry Moon Delight, a song he wrote for his daughters.
A 'First time hearing the Beatles' has got to be a rarity. Didn't expect it, but glad you are going down this road. I think you'll have a good time.
This song always makes me happy cry ❤
Glad you finally got here. Great reaction. I thinK you'd like, "Strawberry Fields Forever," and, "A Day in the Life."
Was in a bar one night shooting pool with my bff😂the karaoke guy came up to me and insisted I do a duo with him😂he said you pick the song. So I picked this song😂❤only time I ever actually karaoke.❤my brother played in a band and I have sang some back up vocals with them back in the day. Ride Sally Ride😂and Dreams(I'll Never See).😂❤sweet memories😂this song is Paul talking to Julian, John's son, when he left to be with Yoko😢telling Julian to give her a chance❤
YES. The melody, the harmonies, so different and intricate, but with texture and grit. Whatever way you travel through the Beatles catalogue you can't go wrong. Know that they created all their music as a band between 1963 and 1970, and it's amazing to experience their evolution from the early hits to the later music.
Kinda makes me want to listen to all of these bangers for the first time again!
Great reaction. There shouldn't be an pressure to like music just because others do, but when the artist is such an icon and larger than life -- as the Beatles are -- I know what you mean! For generations of people the Beatles provided the soundtrack for their lives. The melodies are timeless, the production was groundbreaking, their influence on popular music is immeasurable and best of all --- they have so many different sounds. Even fans can't agree on their favorite track. Just enjoy!
My favorite Beatles will always be "A Day in the Life"
The Beatles weren’t just part of the “British invasion” of music. They led the way for a British Invasion of English bands descending on the US!!! No band from Britain had ever made it in America. In 1963, the Beatles decided they wouldn’t travel to the states until they had a number #1 hit in the U.S. They rose fast in the UK when they started rising. They got their #1 hit in the US. The week they traveled to the states, February 9, 1964, they had the top 5 songs in the top 10 on the charts! Unheard of. And it’s never happened since. They broke up in 1970. During those 8 years, they had 21 Number #1 songs. Another 34 songs got into the top 10. And 71 songs made the top 40 charts and in radio rotation! Crazy stats!
And, they refused to perform in segregated venues....
Should have done the live version on the David Frost show - shows how talented they really were to a new audience - way ahead of their time. Way, way. way//////
NO!
They were OF their time.
Ahead of their time means today,and we all know todays “music” is shite.
Was Timothy Leary there singing?
Yes @@terregales7203
Friends and I, from Omaha, spent New Year's Eve, 1980, in Kansas City.
Driving home, our local rock channel was doing the biggest hits from every year.
I knew I loved The Beatles, but I didn't realize until that drive home how many years ahead of everyone else they were!
They were the innovators. They pulled rock'and'roll into new territory.
Too many songs to choose from - I was 8 years old & saw them do their first performance on the Ed Sullivan show (60 yrs ago now) - everything changed that day! I love their Norwegian Wood album and then of course they just evolved from there! Thank you for heading down this rabbit hole!
actually that was in 1964… maybe a rerun?
Yes, 1964 would have been it- you're right, thanks! @@LBinsocal
Yes, February 1964, 60 years ago, the music 🎵🎶 world changed forever. I was just 3 but I remember them singing on the Ed Sullivan show bc I fell in love❤ with Paul. Their music changed me forever! Good reaction, Polo! Keep'm comin' ❤
I was also 8 and saw them on Ed Sullivan. Life changing experience.
It certainly was - the first record albums I ever purchased were Help & Hard Day's Night! @@ddthor
I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only weirdo who repeatedly puts favorite songs on repeat.
Also, this was my first favorite pop song, when I was in elementary school. The teen girls had then-newfangled little transistor radios, and I loved it when this came on!
This has to be my favorite Beatles song. When I was still an infant, we had a music box that hung on the wall, and when you pulled the string down, it played Hey Jude. I didn't know the tune was called 'Hey Jude', my Mom says I just loved to hear the music play.
When I was about 5 years old, we were driving in the car one day with the radio on, and Hey Jude started playing. I recognized it instantly. I was amazed to hear it playing on the radio. I could hardly believe there were words to the tune - and what words they are, it rocked my little world!!! 👍😁
Eleanor Rigby! Great song! Right up your alley Polo!
Your gut is right. The Beatles are indeed are journey. Their catalog is so diverse. I didn't realize that myself when I started to explore them. It's pretty astonishing.
I’ve heard this song over 1000 times every time I hear it it’s just like the first never gets old
To add: Jude was Julian Lennon, John's young son when Paul was encouraging him to be open to Yoko as his new step mom.
The Past Masters collection for the singles. Paperback Writer and duo single Rain might be peak Beatles.
How many Beatle fans start singing along as soon as they hear Paul sing "Hey Jude?" Classic tune.
Check out their rooftop concert in London, January 30, 1969. Their last appearance playing live. Billy Preston plays the electric keyboard. Iconic footage!
Thank you!! One of the best Beatles song out there.
A fun version of this is when Paul went on Carpool Karaoke... they drove to a small bar/club they played in their early days, and does a solo performance of Hey Jude for the lucky patrons there that day. It's worth a look... should be easy to find here.✌🏼🇨🇦
A Beatles anthem. The best Beatles songs are from their1967 to 1970 period. 'Let it be' is also a powerful song.
No one mentions - I Want To Hold Your Hand.... one of their oldest... I remember actually when young hearing and seeing a episode of the - Munsters TV series that had that song in.
Try “Come Together” for a different style.
Also
“And I Love Her”
“I’ve Just Seen A Face”
“All My Loving”
“When I’m Sixty-four”
“Dear Prudence”
“Across the Universe” (They were into Eastern mysticism)
“Helter Skelter” (For a more rocking sound)
Always make sure to reserve this song at the school dance with your favorite girl/guy/other because it seemingly goes on forever...in a good way.
I was in 8th grade when Hey Jude came out & it was everybody’s favorite slow dance song.
You are right about the crowd, was at a Paul McCartney concert about 25 years ago at the Palace in Detroit area and the crowd sang this so loud the whole stadium felt like it was shaking, one of the best feelings I have had in 70 years!!’
Paul got some of his singing influence from Little Richard. The Beatles used to open for him in England.
In my 70s now, so I've got a Favorites list a mile long - This song is way on top. I saw them in Chicago 1964 - Their songs were simpler then, but still Great to this then 13 year Kid. They were revolutionary.
The Beatles break through genre as you will see if you listen to more. Great vocals (either by Paul or John or George) and the MELODIES?????? Fantastic! Michael Jackson was a great extension and built on this base. This is why Michael bought the song rights to the Beatles music.
Many Beatles songs are deceptively simple. They stay with you because they are also subtly insightful.
Another example of why Ringo is one of greatest drummers ever.
The greatest band of all time.
Let It Be is my favorite Beatles tune. They have so many hits, it’s hard to pick just one!!
Oh man, I am disappointed you didn’t see the video. The live performance with the audience coming up to them. A diverse audience, especially for that time. Old young black white. The song has been sung by massive crowds in Hyde Park in London. The Beatles are the GOAT. No question. They could do anything. And they did. And they did it ahead of everybody else. They were the first at everything.
I followed you through your Tool journey. ((chef's kiss)) And I'm all here for your Beatles journey!
Theres a video of this where theyre playing for a live audience and the audience comes up and surrounds the band on stage and starts singing with them. Yes, they're all swaying
The Beatles had a different sound every album, they kept evolving as they went along, that’s what made them so great!!!
You are ABSOLUTELY 💯 correct! An INFINITE # of amazing Beatles songs… LET’S GOOO!!!
You should listen to “while my guitar gently weeps”
This song last the test of time. Released on the white album 1968
The Beatles changed music forever.
I still get chills every time that song starts up. Their early influences were, among others, Elvis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard, Buddy Holly, and Ray Charles. I don't think I've heard a Beatles song I didn't like, but some favorites are Come Together, Norwegian Wood, A Taste of Honey. Too many favs to list.
That outro could go on forever and i’d still be listening🤘❤️ these cats had so much fun😊
The thing about the Beatles is they have so many different genres of music. t's hard to put them into a box. You never know what you are going to get with them. They have so many different sounds and styles of music. They have bluesy tunes, they did what is considered to be the first Heavy Metasl song Helter Skelter, They have soft love songs and they also have psychedelic songs and on and on. They grew so quickly in just a few years and experimented a lot which is why they have influenced so many bands. They pushed the boundaries of what could be done at the time when they were creating music.
My very first vinyl of anything was a “45” of Hey Jude on one side and Revolution on the flip side. I suggest checking out this flip side. You won’t be disappointed.
The iconic photo is them crossing Abbey Road, also famous for Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles and Pink Floyd recorded, along with many other famous artists, on up to Adele.
Thank you Polo...Some songs just take you back...and Hey Jude is one of them.
It's been awhile. As a kid my musical journey was kicked off with these guys and Motown . What a journey it has been.
You too, huh? 😊
The live video is what you need to be listening to!
Love the big smile❤ This song always bring a smile😊
After you have listened to 100 Beatle songs, Polo, I will be interested to hear if you think you've "got their music figured out." It's been said that The Beatles are their own genre, and maybe you will agree as well after you have been on the journey for awhile. A few people here have recommended "A Day in the Life" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" which are from their psychedelic period and which blew the doors off the rock 'n roll box forever. (After you've heard their original version of A Day in the Life, for your own interest I suggest you listen to Jeff Beck's incredible instrumental cover of that song. He did it for George Martin's retirement album and it will definitely give you chills.) I love your reactions, and I'm glad you're climbing on the Beatle train. Welcome aboard! 💕🎶☮
Deep catalog of remarkable songs...and they evolved so much in just 8 short years of recording! As a child I remember when Sgt Peppers was released and people saying it's was as if everything had been in black and white, but after Pepper everything was in color! Enjoy the journey!
To me, the culmination of all the Beatles songs can be found on Abbey Road in Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End - all 3 are meant to be played together. Check them out!
I had my first "slow dance" to this song, over 50 years ago. I still remember that intense experience, and cherish the memory.
That Road they’re walking across is Abbey Road and is the album cover of Abbey Road! Listen to the entire album ❣️❣️❣️
Paul McCartney, and all the Beatles but especially him, loved little Richard and chubby checker among others who were heavily influential to them and can be easily heard throughout their years.
In a side note, listen to “isn’t it a pity” by George Harrison (in his solo career after the Beatles. He wrote it in defiance of the petulant fight they were having and in the ending you can hear him using the chorus of hey Jude while singing it’s a pity it’s a pity…pity…pity. They often talked to each other in their solo years through their music because they knew the others would be listening. It’s lovely and interesting. Ringo (the drummer) is the only one who played with all of them in their solo careers. Ringo as always just enjoys being part of the party
Free as a bird and my favorite real love were Lennon singles that were completed in 1994 by the remaining Beatles. Most recently released is now and then which I see you’ve already reacted. All three songs were on a cassette tape from John with the words “to Paul” on it. But there’s complex history with them all. They went from boys that were poor at an average of 19 to becoming the most popular band in the world by 20 and then broke up by 30. It was a whirlwind of experience. They are a fascinating study. Especially the amount of work they were able to produce in such a short period. 213 songs, 188 originals, 25 covers. Many on the back burner that didn’t make the cut on a Beatles album but ended up in their first solo album release. There were genres that were created due to their experimentation. Using feedback from a speaker as part of a note in the song…. Beatles. Creating music videos because they were too busy to show up on the show themselves…. Beatles. They instituted a lot of firsts.
Early Beatles songs were mostly love songs as you'd expect from young men just emerging from their teens. They were a unique sound and brought what was considered long hair into fashion. It was a revolution for the 60's youth, giving them permission to express their energy to the oldies who suppressed them. Their music was intriguing to the 60's crowd who were more used to Elvis, Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra, the Beatles were a huge departure from that sound, they invented pop as a variation of R'R. As they evolved their music changed to more worldly lyrics, melody and chord's in the later 60's. Revolver, Rubber Soul, Seargent Peppers and Abbey Road are great examples of the change in direction they took in their later career. There was more personal content and chemical enhancements influencing their music. The Beatles were the soundtrack to my life from a very early age. I am glad that you can enjoy them today and I have enjoyed your video.
