Glad you discovered the music of the sixties and seventies. The best decades for music since classical was "invented" a few hundred years ago. There are hundreds of artists and thousands of songs from 1963 - 1978 that will blow your minds!
The thing about the Beatles is that they'd create music no one had ever heard before, and do things no one had ever done before. Then everyone would copy them, until the next album or iteration where they'd up the ante and do stuff no one had ever heard before or thought before. So they were always ahead of the crowd at that moment in time. Each new album or song by the Beatles was a major event. Eagerly awaited by fans, eagerly analysed by critics, eagerly poured over for inspiration by other bands. Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sargent Pepper's etc. Everyone poured over it. The innovation the, the new sounds, the new art, the new technique, the new ways of doing things, etc. When Sargent Pepper's came out it was played in full by radio stations, Pink Floyd was on the way to some gig they were booked to and they stopped their car just to listen on the radio to the new sound that Sargent Pepper's brought out. Open mouthed, jaw to the floor, wow!! How do we match this? That was the thought on every aspiring band's minds. Because they were so big they had the financial backing and the permission to experiment in ways that no one else had. They were the most popular and at the same time the most avant-garde, experimental band of the time. Tomorrow Never Knows, wtf!!! Where is this going? How do we top this? Wtf is even going on? But record buyers loved it, so keep the grove going. Record company executives gave up on the idea that they knew what the market wanted. They just threw their hands in the air and said 'fk it, let creative people do creative stuff and see what sells'. Which gave permission for lots of other acts to be experimental and create new sounds and new ways of doing things. There would be no Pink Floyd or Rolling Stones or Fleetwood Mac or Yes, or King Crimson, without the Beatles. All of those sounds are way outside what record companies thought would be popular at the time. But due to the success of the Beatles, they let bands try new things to see what sold.
One and 1 and 1 is three means Paul died a while before and there was only three Beatles left. The last stuff Paul did was Revolver album. He had unfinished songs that the Paul replacement recognized and made them his own, even though Paul would whisper in his ear for the way the song should go. Everyone should read Thomas E. Harriet - The Memoirs Of Billy Shears
The "shhhhooo-ah" part - Lennon is saying "Shoot me". When Lennon wrote "One and One and One is three - got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see" was him telling the other band members he was feeling ignored by them. There are 4 Beatles.
If you want the full experience, start at Love Me Do and go through the 60s in chronological order - it will make sense and blow your mind at the same time.

I am so envious of young people who have the chance to experience the Beatles for the 1st time as I did. I was 13 in i963. I am not exaggerating when I say their music changed my life. The inspired me to become a professional musician for 35 years. They are one of my life's greatest gifts. It is a huge rabbit hole but if you start at the beginning and go thru it you will get it.
There's a clip of Ozzy Osbourne meeting Paul. He's a complete fan boy. It's quite endearing. But that is exactly what he said. "I got into music because of you guys."
When you said, "I didn't know that the Beatles sounded like this.", I giggled out loud. They changed from one album to the next. And on each album were a dozen songs that were different from any other. That was part of their brilliance and genius. I look forwards to the many more songs from them. Some people might suggest beginning with their early years and playing the albums in succession the way we heard them then. But I think it doesn't matter. If you are like most of us then you end up listening to all of the Beatles songs thousands of times, over and over. It never gets old. Ever.
Well, i think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say all 12 song on any album prior to Rubber Soul sounds unlike any other song. There's quite a bit of filler on those early albums that sound like john and Paul were just knocking off a quick song for the next album. But even those songs, like "Every Little Thing" had interesting and unique instrumental flourishes. But i take your point that their growth and development was extraordinary. I think from Rubber Soul onwards you can really hear Lennon and Mccartney emerge as two very distinct voices. Harrison was always unique just cause he was writing separately. He tended to be the only one writing anti-love songs: Don't Bother Me, If I Needed Someone, You Like Me Too Much, Think For Yourself
There are likely a lot of bands that COULD do it all, but the Beatles actually stuck their necks out and DID it all. Rock and Roll, Pop, Folk, Country, Psychedelic, Progressive, Experimental, Blues, Funk, Soul, ballads, even borderline Heavy Metal ("Helter Skelter"). They didn't limit themselves to what they thought their fanbase expected from them or what they thought would sell. It helped to have a manager and record label that supported that.
Since you guys like metal, the next song you react to should be Helter Skelter. Many considerate it to be one of the first metal songs ever recorded. I’m happy you‘re branching out into other types of rock music. The Beatles were part of what was called the “British Invasion”in the 60s and early 70s. It would be great to hear you react to bands like the The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks. Btw that chill voice you mentioned belongs to John Lennon one of the greatest artists in rock ‘n’ roll history… trust me his voice isn’t always so chill! I hope as you explore The Beatles you’ll get to know all of the individual members of the band. They are all very talented! Great reaction!
Hello, I guess you haven't just arrived at the channel since you know we like metal, but welcome anyway!

Great reaction, Angela and Callum! The Beatles had a very different sound depending on which stage of development the band was in. That is one of the reasons they were (and are) so successful.

Wait till you hear the lyrics to I am the Walrus.John Lennon had heard that schools were trying to analyze their lyrics and he threw in the lyrics all hodge podge to purposely confuse the analysts. He handed the song over to producer. George Martin who orchestrated parts to it , but at 1st, had no idea what he was suppose to do with it. The 2 previous songs that you said you've heard, Paul McCartney, was the lead singer. This one had John on lead vocals. Their songs varied from love songs like Here, There, and Everywhere and Something to experimental , esoteric(Day in the Life) to Ringo's children like songs-Octopus's Garden, and Yellow Submarine. Have fun getting into the Beatles!!!
I've heard the story that John originally titled the song "Cum Together" but changed his mind, or was talked out of it, cuz the song would have instantly been banned. The1+1+1 is 3 is a reference to the Paul is dead rumor. 3 remaining Beatles and Pauls replacement looks exactly like him cuz he's so hard to see.
An old old friend of mine managed the printing of the Beatles Complete 5:39 Anthology when it came out. He gifted it to my Beatles #1 fan husband. It is amazing and costs less today.
if you want to hear where the verse melody came from, and why there was a lawsuit about it, play Chuck Berry's "You can't catch me" at a slower speed. When Lennon covered "Can't catch me" as part of the lawsuit settlement he did it slow, sounding as much like "Come together" as he could (IMO).
When I see reactors say they haven't heard a song like this, I'm dubious for a second and then realize, well, yeah, if you were born two weeks ago, you might not have caught up with it yet. Not everybody grew up with it being on the "radio" constantly.
If you are teachers, you are obligated to know every single one of their songs and teach them to your students. Even if you're not music teachers! You can't be in a position of authority and not spread the word of the most brilliant musicians of the 20th century.
Multi-miking drums is just one innovation of many in the music industry perfected by the Beatles music team. The drum kit was originally picked up by a maximum of two mics - one on kick drum and the other as an overhead above the snare. In order to get a bigger drum sound, they introduced a mic on each drum as well as one underneath the snare. This selection demonstrates that inique drum sound. Selection⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once you get to listen to a few of The Beatles' songs, there is no turning back. You've just opened a door to hours of some of the best music ever made.
You Should check out A Hard Days Night, their best song in my opinion, but when it comes to the Beatles if you ask ten people their favorite song you'll get ten different answers - tons of songs to appreciate.

John Lennon loved eclectic lyrics and this is a great example - Paul McCartney's bass playing is a key part of this song. Brilliant piece that sounds fresh and new, even after the 1000's times I've heard it
Fortunately those of us who grew up during the Beatles Era didn't have videos. We just sat there in front of the speakers or we wore headphones and just got lost in the music. Nice reaction.

The Beatles songs all sound different. No group in history has been able to sound as differently from song to song and album to album as The Beatles were able to. Songs I would recommend listening to by The Beatles include: Let It Be, Here Comes The Sun, Yesterday, Oh Darling, Hey Jude, And I Love Her, Helter Skelter, A Day In The Life, Help, If I Fell, I Feel Fine, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Rain, Tomorrow Never Knows, Hello Goodbye, Ticket To Ride, The Long And Winding Road, Eight Days A Week and Day Tripper. Just to name a few.
Seeing anyone that has never heard this before im first suprised then I realize that , when I was thier age there was plenty of popular songs from 1920 i had never heard of. Then i simply realized how damn old I am...
Love watching new arrivals hear this masterpiece. Just knowing they're gonna really enjoy it is such a buzz. Just wish the Beatles had done more in this vain. Bloody clever buggers.
Hallo.I send you 2 weeks ago massage to check the band LOVEBITES . J. Metal band. They are amazing and very talented 5 ladies. Now one of the best metal band on the planet. Thanks
Thank you we added it to our list! Not sure when we will get to it because Lovebites is seldom requested. Also, we have reacted to them a couple of times already, years ago
Its is understandable that you think the lyrics were a bit weird - you'd have to have been alive during the '60s to get the cultural references...but the message is universal - we all are just people - all the same and we need to come together in our basic humanity rather than focusing on things that differentiate us
For the time this band was together, it is astounding the amount of quality music the Beatles produced . Two of the greatest singer, song writer's of our time . Dare I say, maybe ever .
Loved watching the two of you react.❤ There is something absolutely timeless about their music. And you will never be able to pigeonhole it -- because they were constantly reinventing themselves and popular music as well. What a group! 😁
SHE LOVES YOU; A HARD DAYS NIGHT; AND I LOVE HER; TICKET TO RIDE; DAY TRIPPER; ELEANOR RIGBY; TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS; STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER; PENNY LANE; LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS; A DAY IN THE LIFE; HEY BULLDOG; HEY JUDE; REVOLUTION; DEAR PRUDENCE; WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS; SOMETHING; I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY); and all of the B-side to ABBEY ROAD.
I grew up in the 60's with the Beatles music. Once you go down the Beatles rabbit hole you will get hooked. When they came to America, they called it the British invasion. The British bands poured into the USA.👀👀

There IS a reason they are still the best ever nearly 60 years later. They started out at the top and stayed that way until they disbanded. Of course this song was at the end of their stint. If you haven't heard many of their other tracks, you have a huge rabbit hole ahead of you.
The difference between Lennon and McCartney songs is pretty apparent after you mention only knowing Let it Be and Hey Jude. Both McCartney songs, this one is Lennon.
The Beatles were so versatile. I'd suggest their ballad "Something" for your next listen. It has some tasty guitar from George Harrison. Be prepared to fall in love a little, though.
The Beatles were the best, this is from arguably their best album, Abbey Road, you need to hear the entire thing, it will blow your mind! Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥
We do album reactions on Patreon, our next one will be a Pink Floyd album reaction, but after that, I think we can do a Beatles one. It will be a lot of fun

First, I’d like to recommend that you listen to The Beatles the way we did. Start at their beginning in the US in 1963 and work your way chronologically through albums and released singles. Try not to flip around from year to year, otherwise you won’t get the remarkable progression of their music. We heard them over the radio first. Then, they were featured on the Ed Sullivan Show. Even after their first tv appearance, the main way to listen was on the radio or to buy an album and listen to it all the way through. There weren’t any music videos yet, not until The Beatles came out with one of the first in 1965. I don’t really recommend the music videos other than live performances. Most are very foolish and detract from the music. Now, consider this… In the weeks before The Beatles came over to the USA in February 1964, the top songs were “There! I've Said It Again” by Bobby Vinton, “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen, “Dominique” by The Singing Nun (yes! A real nun), “Popsicles and Icicles” by The Murmaids and “The Nitty Gritty” by Shirley Ellis. (It would be fun for you to listen to these as comparison.) Young men all had short hair; mostly crewcuts, and were always clean shaven, and, for the most part, everyone followed the rules. You really must put yourself in that time period. Then, here come The Beatles! They have outrageously long hair! They’re irreverent when talking to the press! They write their own music! (This was RARELY done.) They are obviously having FUN! We, as a country, were in mourning. Our young, handsome President had been assassinated just two months before. The Beatles were “candy” for a grieving country, especially the youth. Some people today say that The Beatles are over-rated. That could possibly make sense if you’ve only listened to a few of their songs. Where The Beatles stand out is when you view their accomplishments in their entirety. (Fun fact, NONE of The Beatles could read music and none had taken professional music lessons, but they played DOZENS of instruments and wrote over 200 songs in less than 10 years.) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They had 27 #1 hits in the US and UK. (And only recorded from 1963 to 1970.) They are the only band to ever have the top five positions in the Billboard Top 100 (April 4, 1964, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” and “Please Please Me.”). The ONLY band to ever have 14 songs in the Top 100 at the same time (April 11, 1964). First band to play in a stadium (Shea Stadium, August 15, 1965) They were the first to release “music videos” as promotions. (Paperback Writer and Rain, 1965). Among the first to use synthesizers, electronic keyboards, animal sounds, jet engine sounds and backward recordings in their songs. Their many innovative techniques revolutionized the recording industry. They were among the first to use horns and strings in popular music. The first band to use feedback in a recording. (I Feel Fine, 1964) They were one of the first to use a sitar in popular music. (Norwegian Wood, 1965) They were the first band where each member was a featured lead singer. The first satellite worldwide broadcast, “Our World”, included The Beatles performing All You Need Is Love in 1968. They were the first band to have a #1 hit record that was over 7 minutes long (Hey, Jude). The standard record at the time was 3 minutes. They were told the radio stations would never play it. John said, “Sure they will.” When asked why, he said “Because we’re The Beatles”. They had the first rock-concept album and the first to list all the lyrics on the album. (Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band). One of the first bands to popularize the “word-less” album cover (Abbey Road). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Those who think The Beatles only played Pop music have obviously never really listened to them. The MAIN attraction, back in the day, was that you never knew what you were going to get with a new Beatles album. Here are some examples of Beatles songs in different genres: • Skiffle: “Maggie Mae” • Rock and Roll: “Twist and Shout” • Pop: “She Loves You” • Folk Rock: “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” • Country: “Act Naturally” • Heavy Metal-"Helter Skelter" (quite possibly the first Heavy Metal song) • Blues Rock-"Yer Blues" • Psychedelic Rock-"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" • Ska-"Ob-la Di Ob-la Da" • Jazz-"Honey Pie" • Ballad- “Yesterday”, “Something” “Here, There, Everywhere” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What other band reached such heights of popularity BEFORE releasing their BEST albums? They were thought to be at the pinnacle of success when they stopped touring and the word at the time was that they were committing commercial suicide. And THEN they came out with Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road… The Beatles have sold 1.6 BILLION singles and 177 million albums. It’s been over 50 years since they broke up, yet here we are, still talking about them and young people still finding out how amazing they are.

Hi Callum & Angela, I'm dating myself, 66, the first time I say the Beatles was on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when I was 6 and made me interested and wanted to be a musician, which I was for over 20 years and still into music on TH-cam. You should check out the video that has 3 partial songs from 1964

@@cadifferentreactions It's that "shhh" sound in Come together. Lennon had a quirky sense of humor. From time to time he loved to confuse listeners (especially those, who were manically searching for secret messages in Beatles songs). A prime example: I am the walrus. In total, one can hear 15+ different genres in the Beatles discography, many of which were presented in a style-defining way by the Beatles and have inspired musicians en masse over the last 60 years.
That’s a Lennon song. For something vaguely compatible in style from the Beatles catalogue, you could try “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”, another Lennon song from the same album (Abbey Road).
Actually, it’s a rip off of a Chuck Berry song.. a lot of the lyrics and the tune… Paul told John to slow it down and he wrote a different baseline, but John had to put two Chuck Berry songs on his next two albums to pay the royalty fee to Chuck Berry..🤷♂️
@@phillipfitton8364 According to Wikipedia, it was originally based on the Chuck Berry song (which I haven’t heard), but most of the lyrics are Lennon’s, and the music was put together by the Beatles. I doubt that the Chuck Berry song (from 1956) sounded much like the Beatles song, although there was evidently enough remaining similarity for a legal case. In the context of the Beatles, it’s a Lennon song, rather than a McCartney song or a Harrison song. To be more accurate, it’s a Lennon song loosely based on a Chuck Berry song.

Come Together was the opening track on Abbey Road, one of the greatest albums of all-time.
Lennon said they had some words didn't fit other songs, and threw them together, came up with this.
At the beginning of this song John sings sh…, sh… Years later I heard he was singing ‘shoot me, shoot me’.
At 72 I have no idea how many times I have heard this, but it is just so funny watching someone hear it for the first time.
The Beatles have a very deep rabbit hole to fall in - in just 6 years together, they charted 46 number one hits.
That's unbelievable!!
Great reaction, Angela and Callum! The Beatles had a very different sound depending on which stage of development the band was in. That is one of the reasons they were (and are) so successful.
Thank you very much!
"She's so Heavy" is one song that entered a complex universe and is timeless.

Happy Year of the Snake!
thank you, you too!
would like to see you do a reaction to Beatles "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"
patsy cline- crazy
Wait till you hear the lyrics to I am the Walrus.John Lennon had heard that schools were trying to analyze their lyrics and he threw in the lyrics all hodge podge to purposely confuse the analysts. He handed the song over to producer. George Martin who orchestrated parts to it , but at 1st, had no idea what he was suppose to do with it. The 2 previous songs that you said you've heard, Paul McCartney, was the lead singer. This one had John on lead vocals. Their songs varied from love songs like Here, There, and Everywhere and Something to experimental , esoteric(Day in the Life) to Ringo's children like songs-Octopus's Garden, and Yellow Submarine. Have fun getting into the Beatles!!!
I've heard the story that John originally titled the song "Cum Together" but changed his mind, or was talked out of it, cuz the song would have instantly been banned. The1+1+1 is 3 is a reference to the Paul is dead rumor. 3 remaining Beatles and Pauls replacement looks exactly like him cuz he's so hard to see.
What HARMONIES !!!
really amazing!
A Day in the Life is a must hear Beatles song to listen to!!
Hello sir, welcome to our channel and thank you for subscribing, we hope you will enjoy it here.
An old old friend of mine managed the printing of the Beatles Complete 5:39 Anthology when it came out. He gifted it to my Beatles #1 fan husband. It is amazing and costs less today.
if you want to hear where the verse melody came from, and why there was a lawsuit about it, play Chuck Berry's "You can't catch me" at a slower speed. When Lennon covered "Can't catch me" as part of the lawsuit settlement he did it slow, sounding as much like "Come together" as he could (IMO).
great selection of song. Great Reaction video! You two get it.
Oh wow! Thank you so much!!
the shushu sound you hear is John Lennon saying shoot me he was coming off herion and 11 years years he was shot to death
When I see reactors say they haven't heard a song like this, I'm dubious for a second and then realize, well, yeah, if you were born two weeks ago, you might not have caught up with it yet. Not everybody grew up with it being on the "radio" constantly.
If you are teachers, you are obligated to know every single one of their songs and teach them to your students. Even if you're not music teachers! You can't be in a position of authority and not spread the word of the most brilliant musicians of the 20th century.
Multi-miking drums is just one innovation of many in the music industry perfected by the Beatles music team.
The drum kit was originally picked up by a maximum of two mics - one on kick drum and the other as an overhead above the snare.
In order to get a bigger drum sound, they introduced a mic on each drum as well as one underneath the snare.
This selection demonstrates that inique drum sound.
Selection⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, thanks for letting us know, that's really interesting!!
The thing is, lyrics don't have to make sense. They just have to invoke feelings. This song definitely delivers on the feels
Nicely put
Welcome to the trip through The Beatles. You will enjoy it!
If you choose to go down the Beatles rabbit hole get ready for the ride of your life, so many different sounds and types of music.
we are all set haha
The Beatles- a never ending catalog of innovative talent. Enjoy ❤
Entrar nos beatles é um caminho sem volta, agora vocês tem que ouvir várias músicas
Once you get to listen to a few of The Beatles' songs, there is no turning back. You've just opened a door to hours of some of the best music ever made.
You two are a kick, and you cannot go wrong with The Beatles!
literally never heard that before! if it's a complimetn, thank you. if it's an insult, welcome anyway
@@cadifferentreactions definitely a compliment!!😊😊😊😊
You Should check out A Hard Days Night, their best song in my opinion, but when it comes to the Beatles if you ask ten people their favorite song you'll get ten different answers - tons of songs to appreciate.

John Lennon loved eclectic lyrics and this is a great example - Paul McCartney's bass playing is a key part of this song. Brilliant piece that sounds fresh and new, even after the 1000's times I've heard it
Tell me psychedelics weren't involved in the creation of this amazing song! 🙏
Psychedelic Funk
Fortunately those of us who grew up during the Beatles Era didn't have videos. We just sat there in front of the speakers or we wore headphones and just got lost in the music.
Nice reaction.
Yeah, that's why I can't hear so well.🎧
People that say they weren’t the best haven’t heard all their catalog. They couldn’t be categorized.
Chek out Rain - Paperback Writer ,They were made during the Revolver alum session but were only issued as a single ..

Michael Jackson did a really great performance of this song
Once you get into the Beatles, you will agree that they are the best band ever in the history of modern music.
All Beatles albums are great!
56 years later and its still excellent....❤ i was 15 when this came out!!!! Where does the time go?😂
The Beatles songs all sound different. No group in history has been able to sound as differently from song to song and album to album as The Beatles were able to. Songs I would recommend listening to by The Beatles include: Let It Be, Here Comes The Sun, Yesterday, Oh Darling, Hey Jude, And I Love Her, Helter Skelter, A Day In The Life, Help, If I Fell, I Feel Fine, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Rain, Tomorrow Never Knows, Hello Goodbye, Ticket To Ride, The Long And Winding Road, Eight Days A Week and Day Tripper. Just to name a few.
Seeing anyone that has never heard this before im first suprised then I realize that , when I was thier age there was plenty of popular songs from 1920 i had never heard of. Then i simply realized how damn old I am...
Love watching new arrivals hear this masterpiece. Just knowing they're gonna really enjoy it is such a buzz. Just wish the Beatles had done more in this vain. Bloody clever buggers.
Hallo.I send you 2 weeks ago massage to check the band LOVEBITES . J. Metal band. They are amazing and very talented 5 ladies. Now one of the best metal band on the planet. Thanks
Thank you we added it to our list! Not sure when we will get to it because Lovebites is seldom requested. Also, we have reacted to them a couple of times already, years ago
Its is understandable that you think the lyrics were a bit weird - you'd have to have been alive during the '60s to get the cultural references...but the message is universal - we all are just people - all the same and we need to come together in our basic humanity rather than focusing on things that differentiate us
For the time this band was together, it is astounding the amount of quality music the Beatles produced . Two of the greatest singer, song writer's of our time . Dare I say, maybe ever .
Loved watching the two of you react.❤ There is something absolutely timeless about their music. And you will never be able to pigeonhole it -- because they were constantly reinventing themselves and popular music as well. What a group! 😁
Thank you for your positive comment, we hope you enjoy your time on our channel!
SHE LOVES YOU; A HARD DAYS NIGHT; AND I LOVE HER; TICKET TO RIDE; DAY TRIPPER; ELEANOR RIGBY; TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS; STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER; PENNY LANE; LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS; A DAY IN THE LIFE; HEY BULLDOG; HEY JUDE; REVOLUTION; DEAR PRUDENCE; WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS; SOMETHING; I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY); and all of the B-side to ABBEY ROAD.
❤❤
I grew up in the 60's with the Beatles music. Once you go down the Beatles rabbit hole you will get hooked. When they came to America, they called it the British invasion. The British bands poured into the USA.👀👀
As you both are teachers. Please check out prog rock icons Supertramp. The song School

There IS a reason they are still the best ever nearly 60 years later. They started out at the top and stayed that way until they disbanded. Of course this song was at the end of their stint. If you haven't heard many of their other tracks, you have a huge rabbit hole ahead of you.
This was the last album they recorded. Talk about going out on top!
Imagine being a 17 year old and listening to this for the first time like I was when it first came out.
That must have been an awesome experience
Years go by and The Beatles are still the greatest. They created, invented, devised and revolutionized the world of music forever.
You need to listen to at least 30 songs (out of over 200) from all 7 years they recorded TO EVEN have a clue to their music
we'll try...
The difference between Lennon and McCartney songs is pretty apparent after you mention only knowing Let it Be and Hey Jude. Both McCartney songs, this one is Lennon.
John Lennon on lead vocals and Ringo's drum fills are sublime....Great groove all the way through.... They will continually surprise you...
the girl on the video is normal...the guy seems to be having a fit
Paul on keys on this occasion, nice!
The Beatles were so versatile. I'd suggest their ballad "Something" for your next listen. It has some tasty guitar from George Harrison. Be prepared to fall in love a little, though.
Then after Something by the Beatles, go with Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton, as they were both written (by two men) about the same woman.
No-one sounded like this before the Beatles.
Great reaction guys, cheers. Every Beatle track is different. :)
Ringo's favorite song,, as mentioned on the Stephen Colbert show a few years ago.
Colbert is going down.
NCSWIC
Ringo and Colbert video, a portion of a 15 question segment:

Songs of early day are also great. Must listen.
♥ The Beatles! You gotta check out their song - Get Back
Listen to Side 2 of Abbey Road, continuously from start to finish. You've never heard anything like it.
The Beatles were the best, this is from arguably their best album, Abbey Road, you need to hear the entire thing, it will blow your mind! Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥
We do album reactions on Patreon, our next one will be a Pink Floyd album reaction, but after that, I think we can do a Beatles one. It will be a lot of fun
Still the top selling musicians of all time.
Can you please react to Darkness by Peter Gabriel Live performance Growing up Tour please 😊❤❤

@cadifferentreactions can't wait for my request
@@cadifferentreactions you be surprised how many different channels have reacted to this song
They evolved on every album
My son is a teacher and he once said, Dad, they were the best.
hard to find a beatle song you DON'T like....they are the top class band
First, I’d like to recommend that you listen to The Beatles the way we did. Start at their beginning in the US in 1963 and work your way chronologically through albums and released singles. Try not to flip around from year to year, otherwise you won’t get the remarkable progression of their music.
We heard them over the radio first. Then, they were featured on the Ed Sullivan Show. Even after their first tv appearance, the main way to listen was on the radio or to buy an album and listen to it all the way through. There weren’t any music videos yet, not until The Beatles came out with one of the first in 1965. I don’t really recommend the music videos other than live performances. Most are very foolish and detract from the music.
Now, consider this…
In the weeks before The Beatles came over to the USA in February 1964, the top songs were “There! I've Said It Again” by Bobby Vinton, “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen, “Dominique” by The Singing Nun (yes! A real nun), “Popsicles and Icicles” by The Murmaids and “The Nitty Gritty” by Shirley Ellis. (It would be fun for you to listen to these as comparison.)
Young men all had short hair; mostly crewcuts, and were always clean shaven, and, for the most part, everyone followed the rules. You really must put yourself in that time period.
Then, here come The Beatles! They have outrageously long hair! They’re irreverent when talking to the press! They write their own music! (This was RARELY done.) They are obviously having FUN!
We, as a country, were in mourning. Our young, handsome President had been assassinated just two months before. The Beatles were “candy” for a grieving country, especially the youth. Some people today say that The Beatles are over-rated. That could possibly make sense if you’ve only listened to a few of their songs. Where The Beatles stand out is when you view their accomplishments in their entirety. (Fun fact, NONE of The Beatles could read music and none had taken professional music lessons, but they played DOZENS of instruments and wrote over 200 songs in less than 10 years.) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They had 27 #1 hits in the US and UK. (And only recorded from 1963 to 1970.)
They are the only band to ever have the top five positions in the Billboard Top 100 (April 4, 1964, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” and “Please Please Me.”).
The ONLY band to ever have 14 songs in the Top 100 at the same time (April 11, 1964).
First band to play in a stadium (Shea Stadium, August 15, 1965)
They were the first to release “music videos” as promotions. (Paperback Writer and Rain, 1965).
Among the first to use synthesizers, electronic keyboards, animal sounds, jet engine sounds and backward recordings in their songs. Their many innovative techniques revolutionized the recording industry.
They were among the first to use horns and strings in popular music.
The first band to use feedback in a recording. (I Feel Fine, 1964)
They were one of the first to use a sitar in popular music. (Norwegian Wood, 1965)
They were the first band where each member was a featured lead singer.
The first satellite worldwide broadcast, “Our World”, included The Beatles performing All You Need Is Love in 1968.
They were the first band to have a #1 hit record that was over 7 minutes long (Hey, Jude). The standard record at the time was 3 minutes. They were told the radio stations would never play it. John said, “Sure they will.” When asked why, he said “Because we’re The Beatles”.
They had the first rock-concept album and the first to list all the lyrics on the album. (Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band).
One of the first bands to popularize the “word-less” album cover (Abbey Road). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Those who think The Beatles only played Pop music have obviously never really listened to them. The MAIN attraction, back in the day, was that you never knew what you were going to get with a new Beatles album.
Here are some examples of Beatles songs in different genres:
• Skiffle: “Maggie Mae”
• Rock and Roll: “Twist and Shout”
• Pop: “She Loves You”
• Folk Rock: “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)”
• Country: “Act Naturally”
• Heavy Metal-"Helter Skelter" (quite possibly the first Heavy Metal song)
• Blues Rock-"Yer Blues"
• Psychedelic Rock-"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
• Ska-"Ob-la Di Ob-la Da"
• Jazz-"Honey Pie"
• Ballad- “Yesterday”, “Something” “Here, There, Everywhere” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What other band reached such heights of popularity BEFORE releasing their BEST albums? They were thought to be at the pinnacle of success when they stopped touring and the word at the time was that they were committing commercial suicide.
And THEN they came out with Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road… The Beatles have sold 1.6 BILLION singles and 177 million albums. It’s been over 50 years since they broke up, yet here we are, still talking about them and young people still finding out how amazing they are.

You poor children, don't know the Beatles lol. There's the Beatles, then there's everybody else .
Hi Callum & Angela, I'm dating myself, 66, the first time I say the Beatles was on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when I was 6 and made me interested and wanted to be a musician, which I was for over 20 years and still into music on TH-cam. You should check out the video that has 3 partial songs from 1964
The Songs Tell Me Why, If I Fell & I Should Have Known Better😎
Thank you for commenting a requesting these songs! We hope you are enjoying our channel so far

Hey kids. If you didn't already know, this is the number one greatest band in the history of civilization. No exaggeration.
we will know
Guys! Did you hear John singing "Shoot me!"?
no, when????
@@cadifferentreactions It's that "shhh" sound in Come together. Lennon had a quirky sense of humor. From time to time he loved to confuse listeners (especially those, who were manically searching for secret messages in Beatles songs). A prime example: I am the walrus.
In total, one can hear 15+ different genres in the Beatles discography, many of which were presented in a style-defining way by the Beatles and have inspired musicians en masse over the last 60 years.
That’s a Lennon song. For something vaguely compatible in style from the Beatles catalogue, you could try “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”, another Lennon song from the same album (Abbey Road).
Actually, it’s a rip off of a Chuck Berry song.. a lot of the lyrics and the tune… Paul told John to slow it down and he wrote a different baseline, but John had to put two Chuck Berry songs on his next two albums to pay the royalty fee to Chuck Berry..🤷♂️
@@phillipfitton8364 According to Wikipedia, it was originally based on the Chuck Berry song (which I haven’t heard), but most of the lyrics are Lennon’s, and the music was put together by the Beatles. I doubt that the Chuck Berry song (from 1956) sounded much like the Beatles song, although there was evidently enough remaining similarity for a legal case. In the context of the Beatles, it’s a Lennon song, rather than a McCartney song or a Harrison song. To be more accurate, it’s a Lennon song loosely based on a Chuck Berry song.
