The only song in history that can go nananana for almost five minutes straight and not get annoying
I agree 👍
Probably because it's the ONLY song that goes "Na-na-na-nananana" for nearly five minutes. Musical masters.
I very much like the Beatles but that ending IS annoying. THis is a Beatles song I try to avoid for two reasons, One, is the ending, and the other is that it is virtually all Paul. Not my cup of tea.
@@davidkeech9738 Nothing wrong with all Paul. He has so much talent. I'm a Wings fan too.
Truly I like the song alone more than in the silly video.
@@Doggeslife never have been a big fan of Paul, but I appreciate that my tastes are not shared by many. LOL
No matter the generation…The Beatles are timeless.
And always will be.
Yes Indeed ☺
And they wrote such a wide variety of incredible and influential songs in their relatively short time together.
Paul McCartney has a great, new doc on Hulu
@@richardgaia5970 I finished it yesterday. It was excellent!
Just for your information Brother and Sister, The Beatles refused to play Concerts that were segregated in the South in -1964. The Venues CAVED to the Beatles 🥳 so everyone could sit where they wanted!!! ❤❤❤ Peace and Love!
Love how Amber listens to the words, man she really gets it ❤
Yes! It seems to touch her soul! Lovely! ❤️🎶
Yep, she has excellent judgement!
How did I suggest songs to you guys,
She really does she's wonderful.
The way everyone knows who Beethoven and Bach are today, people will know who The Beatles are 300 years from now.
100%
The answer is stay behind the line John.
And Mozart
Roll over Beethoven.
NASA transmitted The Beatles “Across the Universe” literally across the universe.
This song was written for John's son, Julian, and I believe originally it was hey Julian (or a version of that) but changed to hey Jude. Paul felt sad that Julian was sort of abandoned after Johns left his wife for Yoko. What's amazing is John singing along knowing what the song is about... basically a comfort to his son but also a statement about his own role as a father.
You’re correct. It was originally “Hey Jules” (for Julian) before it was changed.
Hey Jude Paul wrote to Help Julian Lennon John's young son who was sad because of John and Cynthia's divorce
Paul McCartney sings this he wrote it too
Paul loved Little Richard and could do his screams
"Hey, Jools", for Julian.
The Greatest Band in the UNIVERSE Forever!
the greatest band ACROSS THE UNIVERSE wink wink
I went to a Paul McCartney concert with my son and hearing 50,000 people singing that at the top of there lungs took you to another place. That was of the best things in
My life!!!!!!!
I’m 71 and I can’t tell you how much good it does me to see how you two young folks appreciate the music that I grew up with. Please keep the videos coming. Love you guys.
Same. 56 here and these two are inspiring to watch. Like you said it does the heart and soul good to see young people listening to for the first time and digging our music.
65 years young here :)
What a wonderful remark.
I'll be 75 in a few months and stumbles onto this channel maybe six months ago and have the same thing to say. SOOO great to see the new kids on the block finding our music all over again. Great stuff!!
Same here, great to see the young kids who have never heard our music get off on it!
The song Hey Jude or Jules, Paul McCartney wrote this song for John Lennons son Julian to comfort him after his father left his mum for Yoko Ono who he married and had another son with her. hope that helps. Hi from Berkshire England 🇬🇧x
Can’t stand Yoko . I got to see Julian live once was as close as I would ever get to the Beatles….
Paul McCarthy? He's an American artist and sculptor. Paul McCartney is the songwriter and musician.
@@lisaray9944 the important point is that John liked what he saw
Have you done Let it Be?
I do not like John Lennon...1st he thinks he bigger then GOD. I THINK NOT.. then. He beat his 1st wife..SORRY FANS You can't brush this under the rug
My favorite part of this song is Paul McCartney opening up the harmonies of the back half of the song with a long soulful wail. Just opening up his soul and going for it. Simultaneously, there is so much vocal harmony that people could miss the horns. Listen to how the horns are harmonizing but not at the pitches of the singers. They play all around the main melody without really hitting it. It is subtle but it adds such depth to the emotion of the song that you clearly experience in the na na naas. Utter genius lyrically and musically, I always think of young Julian Lennon, for whom Paul wrote this as John left his first wife Cynthia, Julian’s mom. He’s telling a child of a broken home: don’t be afraid, take a sad song and make it better, let it into your heart then you can start to make it better, and he even encourages him hey Jude don’t let me down you were made to go out and get her. He consoles him, encourages him, and tells him don’t carry the world upon your shoulders. As a child of a divorce, this song just hits me differently. Always has, always will.
You all notice that double halo on the top of their heads?
It's fireworks. Rockets flying. Ripping into the sky and filling it with colours.
There is no one like them. LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!
I’m only 33 but I recall my dad playing this song and I’d always jam out to it! No one can ever top the Beatles.
❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When McCartney dies, this is the song the whole world will sing together. Every time he does it at a concert, it is huge emotional singalong. When I went to a concert and he did it, I was crying my eyes out.
Me too! I cried when I saw him at Yankee Stadium.
I remember when John Lennon got murdered. There was a memorial in Baltimore and about 20,000 people were singing Imagine and there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd.
I don't wanna think about that day- not for him or Ringo. Why can't he be immortal like the Queen and Betty White?
I think 'Let it Be' is more likely - and far more pertinent.
@@vsmicer I think there will be quite a few songs sung on that day.
This guys voice is Sir Paul McCartney, and he wrote this song for Julian Lennon (Johns son) while his parents were getting, or had already gotten a divorce. John is the the one with glasses.. Paul wrote it to help Julian get through the tough times and the birth of his step brother Sean. Who John stopped recording to raise; unlike his always being away during Julian's young life. The next time you do the Beatles please try "In my Life" It's been said to be 2:27 of perfection. Keep up the great content. BTW Sir Paul is 79 and still recording and selling out Stadiums.
Paul called the song Hey Jules while writing it. It was changed to Hey Jude before they released it though.
Mark Twain, correctomundo.
You're correct that Paul wrote this for Julian Lennon, John son about his parent's divorce. But this song was written in the late sixties and Sean Lennon, John Lennon's son with Yoko Ono, was not born until about 1975. So the song has nothing to do with him.
Rumors of your death are highly exaggerated
@@kendallsmith1458 🤣
There was almost NOTHING better than seeing Paul McCartney in concert when he sings this song! EVERYONE just becomes ONE and thousands of people hold hands and sing along! No Words to describe that experience!!!
The Beatles tower over every other band. They will never be matched.
Paul was talking about John’s son Julian to help him through his parents rough divorce. It’s a beautiful and encouraging song and I love it sm
As someone who went though a really rough childhood due to their parents’ divorce, this song just makes me want to cry. So fucking beautiful.
@@katherinhalpin8176 I can relate to you on that. This song has gotten me through a lot.
Yes, he was advising young Julian to give Yoko a chance.
I think Paul was talking to Julian, but then he was talking to John, and then to us all.
This song has perhaps the greatest lyric of all time, IMO: "And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders. For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder." It's just absolutely perfect.
I would say one of the greatest, for the greatest I would say "in my life", "strawberry fields" "across the universe"
I love that lyric, “For well you know….” I have it framed beside my apartment door. Genius!
It's by making his world a little golder
@@sfjjfine23 No, it's colder. For one, it's a callback to "playing it cool' in the previous phrase, and for two, making your world more *golden* is a good thing, and the line is "It's a fool who [makes] his world colder".
@@cuchelo1 And besides all that, one can look up the stories from 2020 about Paul's handwritten lyrics to "Hey Jude" selling at auction for $910,000! Most of the stories have images of the handwritten lyrics, and using magnifier, you can clearly see it says "colder".
"We are not as separated as the media wants us to think we are" - Amen Amber!!! ❤
Exactly
Right on Amber! Listen to John Lennon song " Power to the People" by John Lennon.
Fun fact: This is considered one of the greatest songs of all time.
This is the only song that makes me cry at all. And it’s uncontrollable, I can’t stop it.
Most played Beatles song (streamed) amongst the younger audience
Yes it is
And it IS!!!
It’s my favorite song of all time by my favorite band of all time✌️
Paul McCartney, the singer on this one, wrote this for John Lennon's, the one in the glasses, son Julian. They called him Jules but went with Jude in the song though. It was Paul's way of trying to help Jules accept his new Step Mother, Yoko Ono, & all the changes in his life at the time. It's such a beautiful song & a beautiful meaning behind why it was written.
Some more Beatles songs you might want to try
Twist & Shout, this one is a must
Come Together, this one has a real funky vibe, to me anyway.
A Day In the Life &
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
If you want to get a completely different vibe from them try I Am the Walrus.
My favorite Beatle was George Harrison, he played lead guitar. He actually passed away on my 40th birthday so I sit & play his music every year now. Some of George's songs you could try are
What Is Life, this is a good one to dedicate to each other. I've posted it on my fb & dedicated it to my husband more than once.
My Sweet Lord
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)
Got My Mind Set on You.
Y'all keep up the good work. You make me smile every day. 😄
I still distinctly remember being a kid back in the early 80's and finding out that Paul wrote this for Julian about his parents' divorce and all that. It blew my mind to get to peek to that small window of their lives and to realize that Paul cared for Julian to the point of writing a kick-ass song about how to deal with the things in his life.
Lennon and McCartney were 2 of the best song writers EVER ... they wrote together but usually whoever's singing it wrote the biggest part ..( not ALWAYS but USUALLY)
I was about to tell that story, but you did it so well!
I love how this song not only tells Jules to take a sad song and make it better, as the song speeds up and adds the na na na na (where more people can join in) it actually modes HOW to take a sad song and make it better just as this begins so slowly with just one single voice and slowly speeds up and includes others
Lol. Twist and shout is technically an Isley brother's song.
Paul has stated that when he wrote the part "the movement is on your shoulder" he was going to change the line but John said "no you're not " and Paul realised what it meant to him. And now when he performs this song he becomes emotional at that line.
Lennon and McCartney are one of the greatest collaborating song writing teams ever.
And George Harrison ❤
in a mere SIX YEARS, the Beatles wrote and recorded the most number one songs of any band on the planet, then or since. They are without a doubt the most successful rock band of all time, and I would argue the most beloved.
It's mind-blowing actually, when you think of how little time they were together as a band.
I know! It's crazy to think they broke up in 1970!
To hear another side of the Beatles through George Harrison, must hear “Here Comes the Sun”.
And Why My Guitar Gently Weeps.
@@giannag4581 And "Something", which Frank Sinatra -- a notorious hater of rock & roll -- called "the greatest love song of the past fifty years."
@@giannag4581 “While” but…yes!!! Also look up the tribute version done at George Harrison’s introduction to the Hall of Fame. Prince absolutely crushes the guitar solo!
And Yesterday.
@@giannag4581 Paul wrote yesterday
It was the song we never wanted to end. We were caught in a trance when this came on the radio while we were driving around town. Windows down; voices up. We shouted it as we drove.
The most memorable time I sang it with other folks was in July 1981, in Strasbourg, France, outside in the street on the steps of our university dormitory. Someone had a guitar. We all had voices. We "Hey Juded" ourselves hoarse.
This story is so Hey Jude-y. 😆🥰👍🏻
I love this song and your reaction. My favourite part, as a drummer myself, is when Ringo looks happier when the crowd gets brought in to sing
I agree and that's a great part. They were all superstars at this point but it's clear that Ringo enjoys being normal, in the best possible way, and reacting with regular people.
"we're not nearly as separated as the media wants us to think we are". That is one of the best statements I've heard in such a long time, even sounds like something John would have said. Much love and respect to you. Na na na na na na naaa...
Too bad that they broke up that same year after the release of the "Hey Jude" album. They were only famous for about 6 years! Only 6! But what a profound contribution to rock and pop music! It was immeasurable. I love it when you say, " This guy" referring to the one and only Paul McCartney! Love it. Ha!
@@Retromolarman Hey Jude came out in 68, they broke up in 70
This is truly beautiful comment and I 100% agree! 😃👍🏼
@@Retromolarman How can you say they were only famous for 6 years?!? Even though they split up in 1970, every member of the band had a successful solo career and all were writing memorable songs for many years afterwards (well, maybe not Ringo.)
Sweet and true statement from Amber! 😊
Love Jay and Amber! It's nice to see their positiveness and feel good smiles these days! We all need that! 😊
The Beatles surely wanted it that way!
On their US tour in 1964 The Beatles refused to play segregated venues. This caused a lot of anger with white Americans and city mayors in the southern states. The first venue was in Jacksonville Florida. The boys were horrified to see that the venue had been segregated without their knowledge. John went up on stage and said The Beatles never play to segregated audiences and we aren't going to start now. The authorities were afraid the band would leave without playing and there might be a riot. So, very reluctantly, they allowed the different races to mix. This was the first time it had ever happened. Paul later wrote a civil rights song called Blackbird which appears on their White Album.
Wow. Didn't know all that.
And ,for an absolutely killer rendition of Blackbird, please check out Geoff Castellucci's low bass cover. Will blow you away. Once you've heard the original, of course.
Well said. Although I’ve always known that over in the UK it’s always great to see the story retold. I understand it don’t get a lot of publicity in the US from the press. I wonder why ? 😜
There is a recent film online called "Eight Days a Week: The Beatles Touring Years". It brilliantly uses footage from the day to tell this incredible story and highlights their stance against segregation. Also how it affected young Beatle fans like Whoopi Goldberg. Directed by Ron Howard. Worth your time to watch.
@@DanMcManus
Just on its own it’s a quality piece of film making by Howard. Tells the story well and you get a sense of the wonder of how the Beatles affected so much of the world through all races and age groups. Truly unique band at the time in history when we needed something like them. Fluke of nature but one we should all be grateful for I think
Another iconic song from the best band in the world. When I heard this song live at a Paul McCartney concert in 1989 it brought me to happy tears. Singing along with Paul and a crowd of 5000 people was an experience I never will forget in my life.
Makes me start to cry as soon as he finishes the first Jude.
It's the only song my dad could sing that would get me to sleep as a baby and is deeply ingrained in me.
Hearing it played live at events is great because the crowd can all join in at the end as Paul directs - "Just the women, just the men" etc.
Sheer perfection
I saw Paul McCartney in concert, and he performed "Hey Jude." Nothing like being in an arena full of people, all singing "Na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude" together. It was magical!
Been there myself - Vancouver 2012! Definitely a bucket-list moment!
@@Zebred2001 I saw him in 2014 in Jacksonville, Florida. I'll never forget it!
Absolutely!
Agreed Paul does this song in recent years and I have been there for it.
I Saw him in Los Vegas and that was one concert I'll never forget it was awesome
I played this song at my mom's funeral. It was her and my dad's song. Her name was Judy. She'll be gone almost 14 years. When they hit the "Nah Nah Nah Nanna Nanna" people were allowed in. They thought I was crazy. But, it was their song. He passed before she did. It was a moment. She had a license plate on her 74 mustang that said "Hey Jude". Thank you for doing it!!
I'm sorry for your loss, and what a wonderful way to celebrate them and their song
A lovely very personal tribute 💝
Your mom's up there in heaven with George and John waiting for Paul and Ringo. And then we can all sit around and listen to the most beautiful music ever written
Sorry for your loss, but what a farewell.
Hugs, mate. Beautiful :')
I'm a 62 year old JUDY and this is one of my all time favorite songs. It's become a theme song for my life. I had a very difficult childhood and this song encapsulates my journey of turning all the dissonance into strengths and I use my experience of overcoming those difficulties to help others create uplifting perspectives that "make it good". I'm a conscious thought coach now and it brings me joy that you two are tapping into the culture from the story tellers of the 60's and 70's which still, to me, have no equal. Bless your beautiful hearts!! You are precious!
Someone once posted in a comment that Na na na na is in our DNA. Any concert Paul does now has this chorus as an anthem. Brings chills to see a whole stadium singing along.
This song and “Yesterday” by the Beatles are considered two of the greatest songs of all time.
And A Day in the Life... and Strawberry Fields...and Eleanor Rigby...and Let it Be...and Lucy in the Sky... and Something...and She's Leaving Home...and Here Comes the Sun...and Come Together...and...
@@rpaul4197 Has a better one been written since?
@@robertreichle1 no
And that song was written by George Harrison!
Something was written by George for his wife Patti Boyd, who left him for his best friend Eric Clapton, who wrote Layla and Wonderful Tonight for her.. Lucky lady !!!!
Paul McCartney is arguably the most influential musician lyricist of the 20th Century as are The Beatles.
Paul McCartney?
@@lipby Paul McCartney John Lennon George Harrison Ringo Star ate the betkes
Beatles
@@lipby
Haha like that's not a fact?
This guy sold over a hundred million albums plus a 100 million singles
Yeah that
Paul is strong with melody not so much lyrics that was Johns strength
I do agree Paul is one of the most influential song writers ever as is John
Together can’t be matched
I love how Amber‘s voice is really shaky at the end when the song is over. Really feels like you can hear the emotion in her voice, like she’s trying to hold it together lol. It’s not every day that you get to see someone hear “Hey Jude” for the first time. It’s overwhelming when you first experience it
If you love this then you'll love "Let It Be" from the Beatles.
No other band has spread so much love and peace in the world than The Beatles. They were a Band for Everyone.
Even in their solo careers aswell
I am 70 years old and back in the day, me and my friends were in a dinner and we played this song on the jute box 13 times and we got kicked out of the dinner. Oh well.
Bob Marley and The Wailers :)
Paul Mccartney is irritating though
"Were" should be "are". Just saying
They still are the bar that everyone is trying to reach.
Do yourself a favor and listen the recorded version. Little known fact: On the single version, The whole Na Na part was supposed to only be a couple times but Paul was goofing around with the screaming and being himself and they kept recording and that's the version that's played on the radio and albums today. Amazing! Paul McCartney and John Lennon are the most successful writing duo in history/
About johns son
The recorded version much better!!
Paul goes berserk
Hey Jude was about Julian Lennon (John Lennon's son).
That isn't quite accurate...Richard Harris had (at the time) recently had a big hit with 'MacArthur Park', which was at over 7 minutes long, the longest single ever issued, an unheard of length for a 45 single. McCartney liked a challenge and his place in the record books, so the 'Na-Na-Na' coda and slow fade out was done very precisely to be longer than 'MacArthur Park' by just one second, which they admitted to composer Jimmy Webb (writer of MacArthur Park) when he visited the studio during the recordings. So - it was always meant to be precisely as long as it was. McCartney wrote 'Hey Jude' on his own (in his head), while travelling out to see Cynthia and Julian Lennon who John had left to be with Yoko Ono, the song being intended for Julian Lennon, who now owns the original lyrics and recording notes. The working title was 'Hey Jules', which McCartney thought too personal for release, and so changed it to 'Hey Jude' - 'Jude' or Judy' being a then common Liverpool term for a girl. John Helped him later with some of the lyrics, but only in a small way. he always claimed that 'Hey Jude was worthy - and one of Paul's masterpieces'.
Hey Jude was the most successful song by the Beatles, it stayed at No. 1 on Billboard for 9 weeks !
I Want To Hold Your Hand was #1 for 13 weeks
Amber: "We're not nearly as seperated as the media wants us to think we are". Exactly! Keep spreading the love, and good vibes through all this great music!
Since you were impressed with Pauls vocals , you must listen to OH DARLING from ABBEY ROAD album
@@christinepuleo3662 Yes yes YES!!!!!
Welcome...keep spreading the love.
So much truth. Thank you
Yes. Dont let the zionists divide us
When Beatle music first hit America in the early 60s it was like WTH? Music from another planet! Like we never heard before. Light, clever, positive, creative in a totally different way. Unforgettable
they also won over so many with their light hearted, funny attitude in their press conferences etc. they seemed like nice boys having the time of their life. glad i was there to see it. the movie A Hard Day's Night captured the era perfectly. keep on rockin
I have heard Paul sing this song live 6 times. Imagine him leading tens of thousands of people in the "na na na" part,each person singing at the top of their lungs. I had tears in my eyes every time. This song is just mesmerizing, as is Paul McCartney.
People will still love The Beatles in 200 years time
helas la planete part tellement en brioche que j en suis pas si sur!!!
This was performed on a sound stage called Twickenham Studios in London in 1968 for the David Frost show. He was a popular BBC night talk show host in the 1960s and 70s. The Beatles at the time hadn't performed in a live concert in front of fans since August of 1966 at San Francisco's Candlestick Park. They'd quit touring because of the crazy fan mania which had taken over the fanbase.
When the Beatles were booked they asked to have a live audience of kids and young adults in the studio, and told the producers to let them up on the stage as the "nanananaaaa's" began. The Beatles asked for people from all race, religion, and ethnic backgrounds. Their intent was to show global unity and love for everyone.
That's the Beatles.
Paul McCartney has perfect pitch. To this day, he doesn’t know how to read or write music. It’s all in his head. An extraordinary artist. He has written so many amazing songs. Yesterday is the most covered song ever (over 2000 covers). Listen to it. You’ll never stop listen to again and again throughout your lives because it will mean something different as you get older.
I saw Paul McCartney in concert twice, one in the USA and one in my country...and my god, how much I cried when this song played, one of the best moments of my life.
"So now I'm like a part of this whole thing, and when it comes on I'm gonna sing it with everybody." Ding, ding, ding!
Two weeks ago I went to the McCartney show in Baltimore. This song was phenomenal. The entire stadium of 40,000 sang together. It was so emotional to participate in that. More important, this last Saturday, Paul was the headliner at the Glastonbury festival. Oldest headliner ever, by a lot! one of the LARGEST crowds of all time at Glastonbury. He played for over 2.5 hours with no breaks. The crowd was out of their minds. Fans were interviewed after it ended, they were in a daze. They were saying this the best performance we have ever seen at glastonbury in 30 years. Paul is a living legend.
I was also at that concert. When all 40,000 of us sang those "nah-nah's" , it was magical!
This song was recorded and released in 1968 when I was only 4 years old. But I remember my mum and dad singing at the top of their voices and smiling , my dad picking me up and dancing around our living room. Laughter and joyous laughter at that. 😂😂. May they both be at peace.
What a lovely memory!
Paul sings a lot of Beatles songs, and his range is amazing!
they always seem so "chill" because this was just all too easy for them together. such a perfect grouping and at a perfect time.
The Beatles record company told the band that radio stations would never play a song that went over 3 minutes. Hey Jude is 7 minutes and 11 seconds long. The "na na na" fadeout in itself is four minutes long. The song went to number 1 in over 20 charts around the world :) I love these guys ♥
And John Lennon told the record company, "They'll play it if we do it." He was right.
Imagine how lucky I was to be a teenager and fortunate to grow up with this music!? It was wonderful!!!
Seems almost hard to believe now, so many years later, that I went to a Beatles concert! It was at Candlestick Park and the tickets cost $5!
@@NiaMeg lucky you!
Me too
I envy you.
So happy to say I don't need to imagine and I know exactly what you mean !
Paul was always my favorite Beatle. He has such a boyish innocence about him!

Her reaction at 3:01 basically sums up how everyone feels about the Beatles. She's like OMG, then stops rocking back and forth and is just transfixed in total amazement.
Paul closes his shows with Hey Jude, not a dry eye in the house.
I’ve seen him 3 times & he’s never closed with Hey Jude. Weird
@@scottelement I saw him in 93 (Off the Ground tour) - he closed with it that time!
@@pdog547 ahh I see! I saw him in 2012, 2016 & 2019. Set list has changed a fair bit in the time between our shows 😋
@@scottelement Typically when he does it live it goes on for like 20 mins of nananana's so if they are over-running their time they may drop it.
There is a Beatles song called "She's leaving home" . Paul narrates a story of a young girl leaving her home. John sings the words of her parents and the pain they feel. It is an amazingly emotional song.
One of my top 5 Beatles tracks. The melancholy sweet spot deep inside the Sergeant Pepper's album. The fifth Beatle really delivers as well.
Brilliant, underrated lyrics; a very accurate capture of something that has likely happened many times IRL.
I love that song. As a teenage girl, I felt every word of that
My least favorite Beatles song by a huge margin.
“She’s Leaving Home” hits me right in the gut.
I appreciate that you two are about the peace. Paul McCartney says that he's very proud that the overall thrust of the entire Beatles output is love. They used the word "love" 63 times.
Filmed in London on September 4, 1968...a CLASSIC! 9 weeks at #1...
Amber says, " I love the harmonies behind this guy's voice" (this guy = Paul McCartney - Probably the greatest musician of the past 60 years in popular music.) I love younger people discovering great music and artists for the first time. Props - keep exploring
It's John and George doing the harmonies, mostly John in this song. Their voices are absolute freaking magic together.
@@loosilu & Ringo in the verses
Prince is the greatest musician of the past 60 years.
@@lavenderbee3611 Prince is a GIANT. Absolute genius. Paul is bigger.
...which makes this SNL sketch absolutely hilarious where he plays Monty who can't hit the triangle at the right time. I have a hard time picturing Michael or Prince doing this, because Paul and the other Beatles are funny, too. th-cam.com/video/Zt1_-rC9kac/w-d-xo.html
As great as Paul’s singing was, Ringo’s drumming as just so perfect. Their music wouldn’t be the same without him.
Ringo was the heartbeat 💗
love ringo forever. look up long tall sally, live, and see his drumming on that. he’s cool as fuuuuck
True dat. The Beatles were the greatest composers in the known history of the world. Ringo composed brilliant drum parts for those songs and executed them flawlessly.
A lot of people don't appreciate Ringo's drumming. But in the Sixties drum kits werent as big, and drumming was only about keeping the band together. No one did that better than Ringo. He also took the lead many times. The Beatles were never about making one performer shine more than the next, and they were perfect!
The camera man for the sessions of Peter Jackson's documentary said in an interview (it's on TH-cam) that he never saw any of the Beatles make any suggestions to Ringo about any part, fill, tempo, whatever - at any time. He apparently just laid it straight down.
No matter how bad a day I've had, this song never fails to cheer me up.
I recall seeing this live on tv when it came out and I looked at my Mom, who was country through and through, and she had tears running down her face and was swaying in time. Beautiful.
This song was the Beatles' longest-ever #1 song--it was #1 for 9 full weeks. And pretty much EVERYBODY knows this song--so glad you enjoyed it!
They Never heard it before !!!!! : o
Like 95% of everything they play on here !! ???
How is that even possible unless you just listen to One kind of music !!
The lyric “the movement you need is on your shoulder” was a nonsense line that Paul was using to fill the space until he came up with something better. When John heard it, he said, “I know what it means. Don’t change it.”
Indeed. I saw an interview with Paul, where he said he sang the line and John just looked over at him and gave him "the nod".
Paul has said many times, that when he sings that song to this very day, when it comes to that line he still gets a little emotional thinking about John because he was going to cross it out and John told him to leave it in.
You all got exactly what there was to get from this song - and Beatles 60’s - 70’s music as a whole. Thanks for listening, being open, and reacting
Puts huge smile on my face when I see the reactions of younger generations listening to the Beatles for the first time.
I saw Paul live in 2016, amd when he sang "Hey Jude" I cried. He has meant so much to me and to so many people! I cannot imagine my life without the music of the Beatles and Paul McCartney. "Hey Jude" is the greatest.
I can’t imagine hearing this live, I’d bawl my eyes out the entire time 😭
I saw him in 2009 in Dc, I fell to pieces and bawled. I will never forget that experience for the rest of my life.
saw Paul live in Madrid Spain. The audience was possessed into silence during the song until the na na na bit which everyone was waiting for, literally exploded from well over 75000 fans in unison
@@TheBeatleman66 that's amazing!!! I've experienced that, you remember it for your entire life
Like John said at the end of the Get Back ‘rooftop session’ (depending on recorded version) “…we hope we passed the audition”. Well gentlemen you (all) certainly passed with flying colours. Thankyou for the happiness you gave and still give. Plain and simple !
The Beatles are and will always be the greatest band in history.
The fact they were vibing the beginning bit like it was the song just goes to show how naturally good the Beatles are at song writing
I was 13 when I saw A Hard Day's Night in 1964, that changed my life and I picked up the guitar, am now 73 and playing rock/blues in a band. That says it all about the Beatles.
How? Just how? How do you reach adulthood without hearing this song?
Not being mean, you're reactions are wonderful and I'm so happy you found this and are appreciating it. That's clearly genuine and heartfelt.
I just don't understand how you could have avoided this song your entire life.
Metallica was the same way. They absolutely refused to listen to the Beatles growing up. Once they got older, James Hetfield heard a song and was so impressed he wanted to know who it was. It was The Beatles. After that he wanted to hear all of their music. It happens.
Glad they haven't. These videos are such a nostalgia drip. Vicariously seeing other people watch it for the first time is pure medicine.
They have heard this before couple of hooks by crook’s
@@raymiewolfboypaterson4114 ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Cut them some slack! :) It's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before their time, and unless they listened to classic rock stations, there's been about a zillion bands in between- It's like if people asked older folks, "how could you NOT have heard Count Basie?" Maybe you run across 55 year old tunes in a film or ad, or such, but it's only everywhere for those of us who sought it out. I know virtually nothing of new stuff. I grant you, Beatles are huge and iconic, but still......
You talked about how they had all the races in there. The Beatles were one of the first (possibly THE first) of the major groups to refuse to play segregated venues. If they found out that everyone was not let in they would not play. That led to a lot of concerts being open that would not have been... because there would have been a riot if they had been turned away.
Pretty amazing music from pretty amazing people. The best of both.
... which is punk as f@ck.
In 1961 Ray Charles cancelled a performance in Augusta Georgia because Blacks had to sit in the upstairs balcony, separated from the Whites who sat downstairs. He announced his reason for cancelling and the promoter sued him and won and Charles was fined for not upholding his contract. I don't know who was first to refuse to perform before segregated audiences but I am pretty sure this refusal by Ray predates any such action by the Beatles.
@@dennisgallagher Frank Sinatra also stood firm against this kind of racism.
The Stones as well. Any sane person would refuse to play a show where certain races were excluded or made to feel uncomfortable. That shit is last fucking century thinking.
@@The_OneManCrowd Well... it WAS last century.
When I was in college my jazz ensemble toured to Eastern Europe and we always played the Maynard Ferguson arrangement of this song for jazz. It made me realize how universal the Beatles really were when I played the first 6 notes of the solo at the beginning, the crowd immediately recognized the song and went insane! It was hard to smile and playtrumpet attention same time! 😊
Great comment! I like to see the Beatles flash mobs that pop up once in a while across the world. EVERYONE knows the songs...
This song was a Phenomenal and stayed at number 1 in the US for 9 weeks!! Everywhere you heard this, and it brought people together.
The Beatles will always be the greatest band ever, and they have the most number one hits at 20!!!❤❤❤
More Beatles please!!!! Try "Oh Darling" for some serious Paul vocals... The Beatles are a rabbit hole you will want to stay in. Enjoy the ride
McCartney had that talent that songwriters had in the 30s and 40s; the ability to write a melody you can't keep out of your head.
...and he had hundreds of them. George Harrison once said that he doesn't know where he gets them (all those catchy melodies) from.
Paul frequently says that he wrote the song for Julian ("Jude") Lennon, whose parents were getting divorced.
However, back in '68, he told John that he had written the song about himself.
[And unless he was telling five-year-old Julian that he needed a girlfriend, the song is indeed Paul's self-reflection.]
He had recently left a longtime relationship with actress Jane Asher, whom he had intended to marry. The song was Paul convincing himself to move forward -- to get into another relationship, and to get on with his life. Soon after, he found himself with Linda Eastman, whom he married and who was his soul-mate. Paul and Linda spent nearly every day together from their wedding until her passing. "Hey Jude" marks a transition from a sad breakup to a new beginning.
I've been listening to The Beatles since I was 10 years old. Watching these videos it's like I'm hearing these songs again for the first time and it gives me a whole new appreciation for songs I've heard a billion times. Can't even imagine a world without The Beatles....
It's truly impossible to show just how influential the Beatles music has been through the years. It's partially from the studio methods that they pioneered, it's also the pure musical genius they embodied. There's reasons people can still listen to and have it still sound fresh and alive. Just sayin
Gotta give credit to Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Without Pet Sounds wouldn't be a SGT Peppers
@@capecodchris True, but the Beatles were already on another level from the Beach Boys with Rubber Soul and Revolver. If Pet Sounds didn't influence Sgt Peppers, something else would have. The Beatles were leaving their contemporaries behind by the end of 1965.
@@joe6096 i totally agree about the Beatles...just giving some love to Brian Wilson
@@capecodchris Wrong place to do it.
Paul (the one singing) wrote this song for John's son Julian. John wasn't a huge part of his life.... it's sad. (I'm still a John Lennon fan... )
ironiccally paul has always been a big part of Julian's life.
@@loosilu Julian was lucky that he had an "uncle" who was more comfortable hanging out with kids than Julian's own dad was. Paul and John just had such very different early lives.
One of the greatest songs ever written by the greatest band who ever produced music. The Beatles are absolutely peerless.
I love your reaction to the Beatles. The music was so much a part of growing as a 10 year old. 71 now, nothing's changed. Peace.
I would highly recommend listening to The Beatles in release order of the songs. You can see their amazing progression through just a very few years. McCartney is a musical genius, as are the others. McCartney's "Yesterday" is the most recorded and covered song in history.
Mr Long is accurate in saying you should listen to the Beatles catalogue of songs / albums, chronologically. Do that and you’ll really appreciate how from their very first album to their last during a 7 year recording run is akin to strapping on rocket engines and attaining warp speed progress over ANY other pop band at the time and for years after. Imagine the band, 60 years ago. They were way out and beyond what any other band was doing. They left Bubblegum pop in the dust and turned rock n roll into modern art. And as everyone can attest, their songs have stood the test of time.
I concur
I would wonder what would have happened if paul and john played nice. When they were holed up in new york hotel cause they could not go out in public . They were told Bob Dylan want to meet them. They were blown away by that. When he met them he must have pissed paul off. The other 3 got it. He explained to them that. "You have the power to influence the world with your popularity. I cant be sure but he said you guys just play silly little love songs. Its easy to see how lennon and harrison took it as a challange. When your quiet one has While my guitar gently weeps. Then doesnt get more respect. Its time to go. Even Starr had some catchy tunes. His. NO,NO NO. SONG IS THE BEST DRUG SONG EVER
And listen to the album version of the songs...
Not true. There are thousands of different versions of The Beatles hit "Yesterday" but George Gershwin's "Summertime" is considered to be the most recorded song, with 67,000+ recorded versions in existence. Yesterday has less than a tenth of that number. Cheers....
The thing about the Beatles is that people tend to forget just how experimental with their music they were.
This was the first 7 minute single to get radio air play, and it was #1 on the charts for 7 weeks. It was a "double A" single, meaning hit songs on both sides. Revolution was the flip side. The video came from David Frost's TV show on the BBC, the Beatles' first live performance since they stopped touring ...about 2 years earlier
Also, really appreciate how young people like you both and how accepting you are of the.GREATEST ROCK BAND....THE BEATLES
Amen! They divide us on purpose. Don’t let them. “Peace and love. Peace and love.” -Ringo Starr ✌️🤓✌️
The Beatles, one of the absolute greatest bands of all time.
What do you mean "One of"?
"The"....
This song has been in my life since I was in grade school and I know it in my bones. The Beatles are the Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods of music. Setting a standard so high it may never be matched. That said, seeing you two beautiful humans hear it for the first was pure joy. It’s obvious you’re both tuned differently than the average person, so open, so present, so dialed in and so curious-you are a new kinda vibe. Thanks for sharing your reactions to this timeless classic. Helped me see and hear a song I know like the back of my hand in a fresh new way. Stay golden!
This song is such an Iconic Love Story that Starts so simple and as an advise from a friend that's unconditional, then it progresses into a total harmony for all the people to sing as if wanting to make a connection from one to another and then it becomes everybody's love song as if everybody wishes it could happen to them but the Harmonics of all the voices becomes One Giant symphony and even their voices blend A perfection of Echos where you and her and them are almost indistinguishable from a guitar or the piano or the horns, Bass and drums... It's Basically All of It in ONE VOICE and the Melodics from everyone singing in Harmony transforms into a Hymn of Joy that could be sang for hours on end without ending... This Song should've been a World's Anthem for all the people to Unite together...❤💙🤍💜
You should do a Beatles week because you need that kind of time to react to everything they did, and I would thoroughly enjoy it
Great idea
I would mind if they did the Beatles 8 days a week
Yes Paul wrote this song for John's son Julian after John and Julian's mother Cynthia Lennon divorced. I believe to help get him through it and to also help to except Yoko. That's what I know to be the meaning but yes this performance was very special. I remember seeing this on tv.... the David frost show A British talk show in the 60's & 70's. The Beatles later on in their career didn't perform in front of live audiences so this was a big treat for us Beatle fans back then. This and the videos they did.
After the major '65 tour thru America, they all pretty much vowed to never do another concert.
In SF, where they played Candlestick Park, they were whisked away in an armored car "for their protection".
For the next 4 years, they really only produced records, though in '69, they did a small impromptu concert on the rooftop of their studio. No word was given, no advance notice.
You have to watch Across the Universe when you start reacting to movies. It is a movie that uses Beatles music to tell the story. It is a visually and musically stunning movie
GREAT Comment Jean - it really added to the reaction
Spot on about the song being written for Julian. The song was originally going to be called Hey Jules but after Paul played it to the others they all thought Jude was a better sounding and better metred word for the song. Whatever it's called, it's still simply brilliant.
I love😅 your videos. I’m an old woman now but still dance around in the kitchen to this music of my youth. Thank you so much for bringing it all back to me. Oh boy ! Did we have a good time in those days . I wouldn’t change my date of birth for anything.
That's what the Beatles do for you Jay....they put a big smile on your face!!!
More then 50 years later Paul is still singing this in concert!
In the opening ceremony for the London Olympics 2012 Paul was performing this and the entire arena sang along with him. It was so powerful that Paul got a bit choked up while still playing it. He was very emotional and wonderful. ❤️ it was an entire arena singing and swaying. It was beautiful
