Great reaction, young man. The song lifted you up just the way it did all of us nearly six decades ago. The next to the last track on the album is a reprise of this; I bet you'd enjoy giving that a listen. 😊
Okay, so if you're going to react to a vintage and iconic song, let it play out without the constant stops and pauses, THEN comment about it 'til the cows come home if you like!!!!
Answering your question about what to listen next, "Sgt. Pepper's" (the album) is a *concept album,* a trend that it inaugurated and went strong in many other bands until the 1980s (and although much rarer now, concept albums are still being made today). This means that the album was conceived to be played all at once (which is reflected in the lack of pauses and the direct transitioning between songs, which was a total innovation back in the day). So, my recommendation is for you to listen to the entire album in one sitting. But if you're too impatient for that or can't spare the time, most definitely listen to the last song in the album, "A Day in the Life", which many consider the Beatles' best song (and not few consider the best song ever recorded by ANYONE). Be advised that it's rather unconventional (even crazy, if you will), and it will surprise you and puzzle you in more than one way (and that's exactly what they intended!), but it's also extremely well crafted and surprisingly cohesive. Just one of the TH-cam videos of "A Day in the Life" has over 150 million views as of today, which shows how legendary the song is.
Ahhh okay! That makes sense now. I’ll definitely have to sit down and listen to the entire album then, if that’s how they intended it to be listened to then I won’t do then a disservice by listening one by one! Will have the reaction out next week🫡 Thanks for the info!
You can't fully appreciate any artist/group/band/painter/performer - that is; where they are coming from - where a song/track fits in and where they get to - unless - you listen to them; in chronological order. Few are (in the end) worth it - but the Beatles certainly are - as are Bowie - Pink Floyd.... - I'm sure there are loads of others - BUT you cannot fully appreciate where a great band is, unless you follow them, from their start, and stick with them going forwards
That’s a really cool insight. I’ll have to do that!! I might make a series on deep diving artists from the beginning to present/end. Thank you for that, really cool idea!
It's great that you're trying to expand your musical knowledge. Have fun! Some album recommendations by decade... just scratching the surface, but you have to start somewhere... 1960s - Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys and Astral Weeks by Van Morrison 1970s - Madman Across the Water by Elton John and Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen 1980s - Graceland by Paul Simon and So by Peter Gabriel Enjoy!
Yesss mate thanks so much!! I’ll definitely get on to these asap :) I’m hoping that expanding my musical knowledge will allow me to be more creative in my own music! To understand how and why things work and where these ideas came from you know?
Actually you can't talk about quality since we're in a never ending time journey, wich means that every moment in time is frozen to its frame. So... you can't meassure quality sound from different times. At the time, that was quality...
Well yeah, but nowadays it’s not, and what I’m saying is that ‘lack’ of quality as we see it today (which was top notch back then) is what gives it that warmth
I'd watch the Beatles' live rooftop version of Don't Let Me Down, or the Hey Jude or Revolution semi-live videos, Let it Be, Strawberry Fields, Come Together.... I love the Beach Boys, but I can't make it through Pet Sounds without skipping songs. I don't usually recommend Greatest Hits albums, but Beach Boys 20 Golden Greats is, well. great!
Cheers!! I’ll give it a watch asap :)) I heard about it when I went to the Hard Rock Cafe in park lane, I assume it’s the place where some of them used to live?
I’ll definitely have to listen to the rest on here, I’ll make a big video asap!! Is it like dark side of the moon how it runs into all the songs or is it just the first two?
@Beingalivewitholiver wait and see 😆. But yeh first 2 were played on Radio together. Oh and don't expect anything with the album. It's not a collection of big hit songs. In fact it has zero hits on it. No single released from it. It's more about conscientiousness than anything else. I e acid 😆.
@ ahhhh okay that makes sense🤣thanks for the heads up, really excited to hear it now! Finally understand what my dads been going on about for the last two decades
@@Beingalivewitholiver "No hits" is relative. All of the Beatles' albums contain numerous classics, that have left a massive mark on modern popular culture, received a lot of radio airplay and are still streamed a lot, without having been released as a single at the time. In addition to the title track, Pepper has "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", When I'm 64, A day in the life and With a little help from my friends, which became hits as cover versions by other artists. Joe Cocker in particular has basically built his entire career on his With a little help... cover. The soft rockers Wet Wet Wet also had a No. 1 hit in the UK with their cover in 1988, as did the duo Sam+Mark in 2004. Lucy in the sky... became a pretty big hit in the mid-1970s in the Elton John version. The list could go on for a very, very long time...
@@braudabo thank you for this!! Yeah I’ve heard Lucy in the sky with diamonds, absolute banger of a song! Very excited to hear the other ones too, I’m sure it’ll be a proper musical journey, but I’ll go into it with no expectations anyway!
Ouch - don't tell McCartney you thought it was Lennon. Yes, they're introducing you to the album. And the song comes back later on the album.... Not sure the song itself is iconic. The album certainly is! Enjoy the rest.
Great reaction, young man. The song lifted you up just the way it did all of us nearly six decades ago. The next to the last track on the album is a reprise of this; I bet you'd enjoy giving that a listen. 😊
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :) I’ll definitely be listening to the full album in a future video!
@@Beingalivewitholiver The reprise is even rockier than the opening track. 😊
Okay, so if you're going to react to a vintage and iconic song, let it play out without the constant stops and pauses, THEN comment about it 'til the cows come home if you like!!!!
@@tonyginnetti5828 just listen to the song if you want to listen to it, this is a reaction video🤣😭

Yeah, start with this album, Revolver, and Abbey Road! You never know. You might just get hooked and want more :)
Okay sweet! Will do :)
Paul singing. John on chorus with Geaorge.
Absolutely wicked vocals here
Listen to the whole album would be my suggestion. The title track is far from being the best song on the album IMO. Nice reaction, thanks!
Full album reaction coming Tuesday🫡
I think you could get a good reaction to the track "A Day in the Life" from that album if you have not listened to it yet.
Recorded a full reaction to the album coming tomorrow! Really enjoyed that song :))
@Beingalivewitholiver Cool, I'll make sure tomcheck it out.
It's great that you're trying to expand your musical knowledge. Have fun!

Go for Beach Boys Sunflower (fresh inventive sparkling) and Holland (earthy thoughtful inventive)...........
@@bernardbaker6803sweet! Thanks
@@Beingalivewitholiver Great! Just thought of another definite worth checking: 10cc 'Sheet Music'............
@@bernardbaker6803love 10cc! I’ll check it out
Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road in that order
Great albums
Thank you!!

Nope - Paul McCartney! Joined by John (and probably George) in the chorus
Oh really!! Wow, I had no idea, cheers for letting me know man
@@Beingalivewitholiver And "Billy Shears" who is "introduced to you" and sings the next song is Ringo Starr.
@@jamesboboyou’re actually a pro thank you for the info!!!
Yeah man, you're supposed to listen to the whole album 👍
On it!!
I'd watch the Beatles' live rooftop version of Don't Let Me Down, or the Hey Jude or Revolution semi-live videos, Let it Be, Strawberry Fields, Come Together....
I love the Beach Boys, but I can't make it through Pet Sounds without skipping songs. I don't usually recommend Greatest Hits albums, but Beach Boys 20 Golden Greats is, well. great!

The album is iconic,not so much the song isolated from the rest of songs . Especially as it runs into the 2nd song.The audience is added.
I’ll definitely have to listen to the rest on here, I’ll make a big video asap!! Is it like dark side of the moon how it runs into all the songs or is it just the first two?

🤣🤣I’ll make sure not to tell him!! Also, just dropped the reaction to the full album and I absolutely loved it mate
You don’t listen / you talk
Well I can’t just repost the song that wouldn’t be fair use🤣
