John -- Again. One of the Beatles greatest songs. Very, very tight, clean, clear, simple hard-hitting rock and roll. Going back to their roots to create something that would be listened to and loved 50 years later.
Back in the day the only way you could hear these songs was by listening to your LP on your turntable so you very quickly got to know the whole album. You didn't pick out one track. Enjoy your journey along Abbey Road
Nice 🥰 Abbey road is one of my favourites, if you play the second side all in one go people will love you for it .... ah your parents are Nigerian ! Some of my favourite artists are Nigerian (from the 80's) keep going we love your fresh vibe and honesty and smile
It is silly that people would expect someone either from a different generation or a completely different culture to know about the music of the Beatles. In fact, the lack of exposure and your first time hearing and reaction is a huge part of the attraction for me to watch programs like this. No complaints from me that you've never heard them before; I actually greatly appreciative and honored by the fact I get to watch you hear this for the first time!
I want to share with you one discovery of a young talent. This girl amazes with her voice from a very young age. Many reactors have made thousands of reactions to her amazing voice. React or discover this phenomenon. To get acquainted, I recommend making a reaction to her performance at the age of 10. If you don’t see that there is a little girl in front of you, then you hear the voice of a professional vocalist with 20-30 years of singing experience. So, Diana Ankudinova (10 years old) - Oh, Darling! The famous hit of the legendary group The Beatles.
Instead of letting a little girl grow up and enjoy childhood, thrust them into the entertainment and monetise them. What could go wrong! Let kids be kids, loads of time to stuff later on.
The Beatles are a great intro to the most musical way of taking in lyrics, which isn’t as some kind of literal-minded essay, but as sound-poetry and image-making. So many of their best creations are pure nonsense as far as words are concerned, or so cheekily close to it that they play with our desire to pin “meaning” to them, but they are unfailingly beautiful from a musical standpoint - they go straight to the BACK of the brain, bypassing all that dull literalism we’ve gotten so trapped in lately. Great art reignites our ability to dream and react instinctively, and think deeper as a result. The Beatles knew exactly what they were doing. ❤🎶
On the animation. . .the guy in the white suit and beard represents John Lennon, who is the lead singer and who is the main writer of this song. The clean shaven guy with the black suit represents Paul McCartney. The guys with the mustache who does the Hindu multiple-arm thing represents George Harrison. And Ringo Star is the guy beating the bass drum in the animation.
Fun Fact: Michael Jackson did a great live cover version of this song. Also, be aware that the last several songs are meant to be listened to without interruption... it's known as the Abbey Road medley and starts with You Never Give Me Your Money and goes to the end of the album
I don’t know if anyone’s said it, but most of the back half of this album (from You Never Gave Me Your Money to The End/Her Majesty) is really meant to be listened to as one complete musical movement, which is why most those songs are very short and bleed into each other. It’s the “Medley”, and that’s the intended experience masterminded by Paul and George Martin and it’s one of the coolest things in all of pop/rock music
yes, its a good opener for the whole Album... as such its excellent, but as a single song I'd be probably with you with a 7-out-of-10 ranking, still quite good. 😎
1968 or 69. Some way new music and sounds and some of it already starting to get weird. Really popular and great song, but was still considered "out there". This was playing some places and then you'd get 'Something" "Eleanor Rigby" "Nowhere Man"
It kills me with the "how haven't you seen this" thing. For one, it's the whole reason to be a reactor, and two, I'm 50 and I knew Aerosmith's cover long before the original lol. Which, now that you've done this, should check out.
You should react to some of the music your mum & dad listened to when they were teens. Maybe? - I'm guessing it may well of been Nigerian Hi-life type stuff. - Maybe get your folks on the screen to chat it through. - That would be really interesting. - Just a thought!
Subscribed. Good performance and reaction. I really like the theme of your channel; may I suggest a reaction to BABYMETAL. They are unique and have a large and passionate fan base. Their music has positive and uplifting messages. They have a fun and awesome performance: BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL) Or a message about fighting your inner problems and never give up: BABYMETAL - KARATE (OFFICIAL) And BABYMETAL - メギツネ - MEGITSUNE (OFFICIAL) 🖖❤
How about ‘can’t buy me love’ by the Beatles, a No1 hit in 64. Live version th-cam.com/video/34OFU-S1HHM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=HDBeatles. & the B side to it 'You can't do that', another live version: th-cam.com/video/FTiV0OJ0GdA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=HDBeatles
Abbey Road is the last album The Beatles recorded (though Let It Be was released later, it was recorded before Abbey Road). It doesn't really matter what order you listen to them, though. "Come Together" is very much a John Lennon song. He wrote a lot of impressionistic lyrics, especially in the latter part of The Beatles' discography. Lennon and McCartney had an agreement that they would both get songwriting credit on anything either of them wrote for The Beatles, but they had different styles. A classic example is "Strawberry Fields Forever" vs. "Penny Lane." Each song is based on their childhood memories, the former by Lennon and the latter by McCartney. "Strawberry Fields Forever" is very trippy, while the latter has a lot of concrete imagery. Side 2 of Abbey Road has a medley that starts with "You Never Give Me Your Money" and ends with "The End." It's best to listen to these straight through, rather than as one song at a time. The individual songs are short (the shortest being a little over a minute long), and they segue into each other. You can think of it like a single piece of music with several movements.
The Beatles changed more than any band in history - their recording career was just 8 years but in that short time they went from playing basic rock n roll to pioneering psychedelic concept albums. You’ll find that no two of their songs really sound alike - they constantly evolved - and that is the magic of their story. Keep going - it’s a deep rabbit hole, but one which is full of the most brilliant music.
Abbey Road. 1969. They broke up (secretly) 1 month after this album was released. Their last recording. Is it possible that they (the Beatles) could outdo everything they had done before, on the verge of breaking up.......??
Might be a little tough to react to, given how these videos are often blocked, but Michael Jackson has a great live performance cover of this song on his official video. You may wish to consider reacting to this!
I'm pretty sure your Nigerian family is very well aware of the Beatles.... I remember back in 83 bringing home a Zeppelin record...and then my dad showing me the Led Zeppelin albums that we already had...I had no idea.
Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones. I'll subscribe if you do a YES song and so will many other YES fans.
one thing to keep in mind is that none of the videos were made at the time the band was together; they are put together decades later, and probably not by any band members. The Beatles performed and recorded long before the era of music videos. There were videos taken of some live performances, and a couple of documentary films made editing footage to their songs, but they never had any idea of a video when they wrote and performed their songs. They were also very young, teenagers when they first started, and in their late 20s when they broke up.The recordings were also recorded on only four tracks, which involved lots of ingenuity to get those trippy effects, which are so easy now with everything digital. There was no digital anything then, and nearly everything was performed live.
Please try to listen to their albums in order. Their evolution is amazing…please try. The animation is NOT part of the song, came later, by don’t know who.
Yes, please continue to take the album track by track. But be forewarned ... when you hit side two, you're going to run into their 16-minute medley of eight tracks. 🙃
Don't worry. Beatles made music and lyrics for themselves. And just shared it with us. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, you can do that later. For now just enjoy
Fantastic album probably my fave. The production and just all around sound . They pretty much were done as a band by this point , but George Martin took control and the lads were so professional when it’s time to record they put aside their differences and do the music.
Okay I know you are real young....but, The Beatles had zero to do with any video of this you may bring up. They just put the song on what we used to call a record. So the animation content is someone elses, and I usually just find such things a distraction from the music. There are some Beatles videos, from TV shows, and from concerts, clips, etc. But they didn't do music videos back then. It wasn't until MTV became popular around 1980ish that music videos really took off.
@88pjtink Yes they did make music "videos" back then, they just weren't called "Videos" they were called "Promo (short for "Promotional") films" The Beatles had a LOT of them, as well as other groups. These are some of the "promo films" that the Beatles made, and they are here on You Tube : LOVE ME DO......I FEEL FINE.....HELP!.....DAYTRIPPER.....TICKET TO RIDE...THIS BOY....WE CAN WORK IT OUT ( there are 4 different versions of this)...RAIN (2 versions)....PAPERBACK WRITER (2 versions)......HELLO GOODBYE ( 3 versions)....PENNY LANE.....STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER......HEY BULLDOG.....REVOLUTION....HEY JUDE..... oh I forgot "TWIST AND SHOUT" I may have left some out. But they had all sorts of performances on TV in the UK, and Europe and some in the US PLUS films of their concerts, their 4 movies, and many other things. SO there are lots of what we now call videos that were known as "Promo films" back in the day. These actually preceded MTV.
Ok!!!! Yay!!! SORRY, my fault….my notifications are all screwed up….anyway, i see u saw my comment on the Beatles “something” video about side 2 of abbey road….i made the same comment here brainlessly because I’d just woken up, but, u know now…so cool…my notifications don’t work, ha…i deleted my redundant comment….anyway, awesome😃….lastly , another great reaction, many thumbs👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃
The Beatles are a great intro to the most musical way of taking in lyrics, which isn’t as some kind of literal-minded essay, but as sound-poetry and image-making. So many of their best creations are pure nonsense as far as words are concerned, or so cheekily close to it that they play with our desire to pin “meaning” to them, but they are unfailingly beautiful from a musical standpoint - they go straight to the BACK of the brain, bypassing all that dull literalism we’ve gotten so trapped in lately. Great art reignites our ability to dream and react instinctively, and think deeper as a result. The Beatles knew exactly what they were doing. ❤🎶

Love that you're doing this project. Thanks!
My pleasure!
We used to listen to Abbey Road start to finish.
Thanks for this reaction. 230 Songs,mostly,all different:)
Keep this going, girl! And please heed the advice of earlier commenters about playing the side 2 medley as if it’s one track, as intended!
Yes please. Keep going. 😁
Nice 🥰 Abbey road is one of my favourites, if you play the second side all in one go people will love you for it .... ah your parents are Nigerian ! Some of my favourite artists are Nigerian (from the 80's) keep going we love your fresh vibe and honesty and smile
Thank you !
So good!
Great song, once you have a chance, hearing the entire album at once will be an audio experience like no other! Enjoy!
🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥
The Beatles are the gold standard.
i would love to watch your parents hearing the Beatles:👍👍
I'd love to watch her parents react with her to anything really.
It is silly that people would expect someone either from a different generation or a completely different culture to know about the music of the Beatles. In fact, the lack of exposure and your first time hearing and reaction is a huge part of the attraction for me to watch programs like this. No complaints from me that you've never heard them before; I actually greatly appreciative and honored by the fact I get to watch you hear this for the first time!
I want to share with you one discovery of a young talent.
This girl amazes with her voice from a very young age.
Many reactors have made thousands of reactions to her amazing voice.
React or discover this phenomenon.
To get acquainted, I recommend making a reaction to her performance at the age of 10.
If you don’t see that there is a little girl in front of you, then you hear the voice of a professional vocalist with 20-30 years of singing experience.
So, Diana Ankudinova (10 years old) - Oh, Darling!
The famous hit of the legendary group The Beatles.
Instead of letting a little girl grow up and enjoy childhood, thrust them into the entertainment and monetise them.
What could go wrong!
Let kids be kids, loads of time to stuff later on.
The animation came many years after the song was released.

Ok noted
First time listener , your personality is magnetic
Thank you ❤️
Listen to she's leaving home. A real tear jerker.
Now that's how to open an album!!☮P.S. You are listening to the last album recorded by The Beatles!
Your gonna LOVE 'Abbey Road'!
The video was produced in 2000 for the official opening of the Beatles website.
Be aware that the video with animation was made DECADES after the song came out, and was not part of the song's original promotion.
the shoo sound is John lennon saying shoot me
❤❤
This is a good choice. You might want to check out something from their first 3 albums.
I don’t know if anyone’s said it, but most of the back half of this album (from You Never Gave Me Your Money to The End/Her Majesty) is really meant to be listened to as one complete musical movement, which is why most those songs are very short and bleed into each other.

Easily one of their greatest tunes, out of such a huge catalogue of incredible songs
Subscribed. Good performance and reaction. I really like the theme of your channel; may I suggest a reaction to BABYMETAL. They are unique and have a large and passionate fan base. Their music has positive and uplifting messages. They have a fun and awesome performance:
BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL)

Really, pop to super heavy rock music. Incredible.
It's cinema. Video was not yet invented ...
As much as you love all people, you should react to the Young Bloods "Get Together". I think you will love it.

I’m scared for Maxwell silver hammer💀🤣
By the way, all the Beatles hated that song, Paul for some reason thought it was a big hit, like cmon Paulie, we love you but wtf😭
He he 😭😭
Keep doing the "Super Deluxe" versions of the albums. They were specifically mixed for headphones.
Well of course his feet are below his knees -- where else would they be?!
Please try to listen to their albums in order. Their evolution is amazing…please try. The animation is NOT part of the song, came later, by don’t know who.
