Well said... i discovered this song recently and the change with the hand claps is utterly brilliant. There is so much energy. I think one of their best
@@albertscanlon2005 - I don’t usually clap (or dance, of bob my head, or do anything else) in time to a beat, but when I do, it’s to the bridge section of this song! 👏🎵 🎶
Great comment Sarah. “The Beatles fill everything up”. I’ve never heard it put that way but it’s so true. They touch a deep part of us in a special way. That’s what makes them the most influential band in history.
I was in high school in 1963. At age 9, several years before, I glued my ear to the radio and spent hours listening to and being fascinated and absorbed by popular music. I felt very strongly about some songs but not so much about others. To this day I remember being very taken with Frankie Lyman’s “Why Do Fools Fall in Love”. With this backdrop of total immersion in popular music, in 1963 I heard “I Want To Hold Your Hand” on the radio. It stopped me in my tracks. Who are these guys? I have never heard anything like this. Those guitars. They are … different. Those voices! The harmonies. It is sorta like rock. It isn’t country. It immersed me instantly and completely! What amazes me is that each succeeding generation since that long ago time discovers the Beatles and each has the same reaction I and others did then. They are bowled over by the music. It astounds me that this multigenerational reaction just continues to reoccur. One classical composer recently offered an explanation that is very simple. He said the Beatles never strayed very far from the ordinary in their music. But they always made it magic. Maybe that is explanation enough. They always did that.
Well said. I was a very young 9 yrs old when I first saw the Beatles on TV. John singing always got me. Loved em all. They are the greatest band of all time.
I have to agree with you, MrTo… At home the radio was often on. The pop songs of the fifties and early sixties were good. When I first heard “I Want to Hold Your Hand” it sounded so new and different. Like nothing else that was playing on the radio. I loved the harmonies and the driving beat. Soon I took the dollar I had been saving and bought the single. It has been a love affair with the Beatles’ music ever since. ❤
This reaction brought a smile to my face. I grew up with the Beatles And I like literally all of their stuff but this really is a fun era for them. You can start to see the transition to their own creativeness that they would explode with a bit later on, but they were really kind of that way from the very beginning but it's just a fascinating transition point and so many of these songs are dear to my heart. I haven't heard this in forever and yet it still sounded so good to me.
I grew up with this music - I was about 14 when this album came out. My sister and I used to listen to it all the way through every Saturday night on our little portable record player. I enjoy almost everything the Beatles recorded, but this is one of my all time favorite albums. It was lovely to see you enjoying this song for the first time.
Please do more! My God, I love how open you are to their music, and it is so satisfying on so many levels! I am looking for more Beatles reactions from you, Sarah!
Nice reaction. This song is not reacted to very often. It is from The Beatles 4th studio album from 1964. John Lennon said he wrote "No Reply" about a young man who is unable to contact his apparently unfaithful girlfriend, although he knows she is home.
It's so great to see someone who instantly understands where the Beatles were coming from and their greatness and connects with the heart of the music!!!They have always affected me that way too!!!And i love the way you listen to and take in the whole song before commenting!!Thank you Sarah!!!🙂
Listen to their entire catalogue. The more you hear, the more amazed you will become at what they accomplished and gave us all. They never stopped learning more about music and they continued growing right to the end; and what they created evolved and changed dramatically over the years. Try the Abby Road Medley at the end of the album. The breadth and depth will amaze you.
My father loved the Beatles, and he raised me on their music. Your reactions to their songs is so pure - I know my dad would have loved watching your channel with me. ❤ .
I have like them since 1964 when I was 12 years in Norway, and single`s kom to our little "sjappe" on the jukebox! "She Loves You" I wanne hold Your Hand" And it was true Everything with them was good! All You Need Is Love"
The first time I heard this song (c. 1994), I was around fifteen, and I hadn't listened to much pop music of the time, not even classic rock. My musical canvas was virtually blank. This song gave me chills for the same reasons you loved it. Sadly not much stirs me in this way these days, as my mind is now much older, more encumbered, and jaded at 45. I'm glad you got to share in an experience so profound with one of my favorite Beatles tracks.
Your reactions to. Hearing the Beatles brings tears to me conveys such emotions. It’s such an treat, Sarah. This is the sound of The Beatles I remember when they arrived, it’s Lennon as the leader.
The Beatles were amazing song-writers, singers and musicians and produced many of the greatest songs and albums of all time. And it is not even fair to compare them to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen or any of the other amazing groups who came later because, and this is key, the others all came later. The Beatles influenced so many others, and since they were first it could not be the other way around! Try "For No One", "If I Fell", "And I Love Her", "Two Of Us", "I Will", or "Here There And Everywhere" if you want a great love song!
Fabulous reaction, dear Sarah. ❤ I think it's great that you grabbed a rather obscure tune of theirs, and it still shimmers and sparkles right alongside the rest of their amazing catalogue. I'm going to suggest 1965's "You're Gonna Lose That Girl." You can get it with a video, lifted from the song's performance in their second film, "Help." It's even cooler to see them perform their epic songs when you get a chance. 😁
They spent hours on stage in Hamburg doing the apprenticeship, thats probably why .Also the odds must be long on 2 well matched talents meeting at a vicars fete in outer Liverpool.
@Sarah- Thanks for this reaction. The Beatles are the greatest group ever and its not even close. They were together for a total of 10 years. Just 6 here in the U.S and sold more albums than anyone ever and had like 25 number one hits. I reccomend you go down the rabbit hole of them. Paul,, John, George, and Ringo.
Their first albums all contain lost treasures that publicity machines ignore, and most young fans don't know. That's why "Listen to the albums!" is a must.
Your concluding comments: "They were made for each other." I think that's why NOW AND THEN is sooo powerful because this is could have been sung by any of them FOR the other three.
None of them had voice training, yet their harmonies were sublime. Garage bands now have more equipment and they were recorded on 60s 4 track technology, yet their talent and magic exudes from every track. The first LP I bought was Meet the Beatles when I was 10. I probably wore the needles off the stereo!
The Beatles deseve their place in musical history. There are many people who try to dimish them. I have seen comments that the songs were extremely simple to play. But then I have heard well respected modern musicians say that anyone who said that hasn't tried playing their music. I have heard people put down Ringo as a drummer, usually because he never did showstopping solos. The thing with Ringo is in every song his drum work was perfect fir that song. His drumming was consistent, never slowing, never speeding up, never faltering. The "lesser" Beatle, George Harrison, was immensely talented. Ozzy Osbourne said in any other band he would have been the leader.
Hey Sarah, I recommended this song to you a while back. I don't know if you did a reaction video because of that, but I'm glad you did. It is masterful how they go from a calypso beat to the clapping and aggressive harmony in the middle, then back to the calypso beat.
I lived this music first hand and all my life since. From the USA album called Beatles '65. Many who did not live it firsthand dismiss early Beatles' songs as the typical redundant title of "Boy Band." So okay they were boys...duh...but they were revolutionary, new, fresh, made self contained guitar bands very popular, and started the long hair [which freaked out parents back in the day], rescued rock and roll from the clutches of the adult world on creative control and teen record market crooners. Busted down the door musically and for al British Bands to follow to the USA. They knew exactly what they were doing, what and why they were writing, WHO they were writing to...the teen market. Then they evolved into this studio band of total creativity, and control of output, and totally rewrote the rules of record making and songwriting. So if you did not live through the era, you will have a hard time realizing what they accomplished, and cover up your lack of understanding with drivel about Boy Bands based on your limited concept of music as more than just from your own era and other nonsensical comments to cover up your lack of historical knowledge. I would say the same for music that came before my time like Duke Ellington, Beethoven, Gershwin, anyone...
Sarah. This is a gr8 channel it’s nice to see different race of people playing Other people’s music that’s not their own kind of music, as I like other peoples music if it’s good I want to hear it, the Beatles were a world wide group everyone Loved the Beatles keep the good work going all the best for the future of this channel
I am definitely LOVING this Beatles adventure with you, Sarah! Glad to see you've got more! Have yet to see a reaction to this specific song, so this should be fun! Suggestion to add to your collection of reactions: "Rain" by the Beatles. There is a documentary that I've watched that calls it "the perfect Beatles song". Check it out; I'd love to go along for the ride!
You showed the British Parlophone album. The American album "Beatles '65" was released mid-December of 1964, and my parents gave it to me for Christmas that year. I was twelve years old. No Reply was the first track on the album. I still love every song on that album. I was touched my parents bought me that album as it wasn't something I had asked for and it had only come out ten days earlier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatles_%2765
you ask how they arrived at that sound, That was back in the late fifties/early sixties at a time on Merseyside that came to be known worldwide as the Merseybeat revolution, many many world famous singers and bands too numerous to recite here came out of this musical revolution, in the Beatles case John Lennon who came from South Liverpool started a band while at school in the mid fifties called the Quarry men (he went to a famous old school in liverpool called Quarrybank, in Woolton hence the name) and later met Paul McCartney in a favourite Liverpool town centre cafe and struck up a friendship which led to McCartney joining the silver beatles as they had recently been renamed, they played all the clubs in Liverpool especially the Cavern Club and the jackaranda and eventually were talent spotted, McCartney knew George Harrison a schoolfreind who was from Speke (where I also come from) and had him audition for Lennon who took him straight on, the bands drummer at the time was a guy called Pete Best who when the band started to break out after a four month long gig in Hamburg west Germany didnt have his heart in the band, so the Beatles auditioned one Richard Starkey esq who besides a freind was the drummer with one of their leading Liverpool rivals and he joined the band adopting the stage name Ringo Star, then Brian Epstein heard them play one afternoon in the Cavern Club and decided there and then to manage them professionally..............and the rest as they say was history. very soon after they changed the WHOLE musical landscape of the entire world for ever. I often wonder what musical treasures would have come in the seventies if they hadnt all fallen out in 1969 at the very pinnacle of their world fame.
So adorable. You have good taste. I have been a Beatles fan since I was about 7, now I am 61. I still love them, but I gravitate towards this earlier work before the whole hippie culture took over.
Great choice. Kind of a deep cut even though it's the album opener. Beatles For Sale starts really strong with this song, I'm a Loser, Baby's In Black, and I'll Follow the Sun (I don't remember the actual order). John could write songs like this in his sleep.
I was born 26 days before The Ed Sulivan show. I was 3 seeing a replay of that show I fainted over George til I saw picture of Julian lennon at the age of 9. He is a year older hence why he is a legal beatle lol
These early Beatles songs were such a radical departure from the shmultzy, cute, blasé standard of Moon,June,Spoon lyricism in popular music. And that's just the lyrics. This was, musically, so aggressive. There truely was a revolution happening. These harmonies are so heavily under-the-influence of the Everly Brothers (who themselves were Rock&Roll rebels). If you weren't from that time, you won't be able to understand exactly why the Beatles were such a driving force and why so many parents disapproved of the"new music". The British Invasion (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Who, The Kinks, The Zombies, et al) scared the bejesus out of them. Listen to the "normal" popular songs that preceeded them like Teen Angel, Johnny Angel, Put Your Head On My Shoulder. Frankie Avalon, Doris Day; not to detract from any of them, but the '60's music was a swat squad, kick in the door kind of change.
listen to MULL OF KINTYRE by Paul Mc Cartney and Wings to RINGO STARR Photogragh and to the final BEATLES SONG from 2023 with Johns voice....NOW AND THEN.....its worth to watch the video with all 4 members......
Would love to see your reaction to "Mother" by John Lennon (from his solo career). Talk about intense! If you don't get chills from his "primal screams", you have no soul, haha. Pretty sure it was an inspiration for Kurt Cobain, a well-known Lennon fan--his (Nirvana) song "Scentless Apprentice" in particular!
Why would you pick No Reply 🤔 over 100s of greater songs? This is one of their weakest songs, only a rare few of those 🎵 I wonder where you got your recommendation...
This is a criminally overlooked song in their catalogue! The bridge section with the hand claps is practically a whole 'nother song!
Agreed 100%
Well said... i discovered this song recently and the change with the hand claps is utterly brilliant. There is so much energy. I think one of their best
Every thing they done was fantastic

Thanks Arnie 🙂
I have always thought that this song was way ahead of its time. Thanks Sarah for reacting to this one.
You're not alone. Some big time music performers saw this as special. Rosanne Cash for one...

The harmony between Lennon and McCartney is outstanding. Pure magic. Truly one of a kind. Thanks Sarah❤🙏🏼
Very true, but the actual songs were why the Beatles were as big as they were. Many of them are unequalled, thanks also in part to George Martin.
I grew up with this music - I was about 14 when this album came out. My sister and I used to listen to it all the way through every Saturday night on our little portable record player.

@johnsrensen3366 Band? The Beatles a band? They were not a band: they were a miracle!😉
A beautiful, perfect song. I love the early Beatles.
i m glad to listen beatles song with you.
i m 72years old.
i remember when l listened first time no reply.
it was big suprise.

Heaven would be going back to any time and era you loved most for awhile. Best we can do now is just close our eyes and listen to the early Beatles.
Beatles harmonies are what set them apart from others. Their voices were pretty good, and all four of the Beatles could sing. 💕
Another amazing Beatles song and arrangement. Thank you for reacting to it! BTW, a great haircut Sarah! Looks great on you! 😊
Thanks Robert 😅

I’m riding down the street listening to you Sarah singing No Reply. People must have thought I was crazy! Lol!!!☮️💟

I think it's great that you grabbed a rather obscure tune of theirs, and it still shimmers and sparkles right alongside the rest of their amazing catalogue.

Thank you!! 😊
Yes, blows my mind too, same as it did 60 years ago. Glad you like it too Sarah, welcome to the world we knew in the 60's.
Thank you for making this video. You gave the song a very nice, heartfelt reaction.
They spent hours on stage in Hamburg doing the apprenticeship, thats probably why .Also the odds must be long on 2 well matched talents meeting at a vicars fete in outer Liverpool.
Just ten years and they brought timeless music. Unic or authentic art.
❤
My all-time favorite Beatles song... and I like almost all of them. It has all the Beatle "elements".
You have a beutiful voice!!! Hearing you sing along with the Beatles made me smile. 😂
One of their top ten favorites of mine.
Here in the States it was on Beatles 65. That LP was chuck full of great songs.
the beatles the most band all time forever
Great song! I haven’t heard that in so long! Thanks Sarah!! 😅
My pleasure Pa😊
Early Beatles is my favorite era I was 12 in 1964 a time of innocence love gave me the most joy in my life
just a perfect piece of music
@Sarah- Thanks for this reaction. The Beatles are the greatest group ever and its not even close. They were together for a total of 10 years.

I love the way you felt this song........ it hit you pretty hard. The Beatles were for real. If you react to more Beatles songs, I intend to watch
Wonderful Beatles reactions. If you haven't yet, try "Paperback Writer" and "Nowhere Man."
Another great song that never gets mentioned is Fool On The Hill, one of my favourites

That switch to the minor in the "chorus" is so clever and dramatic. Amazing tune.
My first album. It was called Beatles 64 back then.

gave me goosebumps within like 2 seconds, it's insaneee! Please reacto to October Ends Dark
The really greatness with the Beatles are that they nearly never repited them self in the songwriting

Great choice. Kind of a deep cut even though it's the album opener. Beatles For Sale starts really strong with this song, I'm a Loser, Baby's In Black, and I'll Follow the Sun (I don't remember the actual order).
John could write songs like this in his sleep.
This track was all set to be their Christmas 1964 single untill John came up with I Feel Fine.
you are a wise lady! I love your comments!
I was born 26 days before The Ed Sulivan show. I was 3 seeing a replay of that show I fainted over George til I saw picture of Julian lennon at the age of 9. He is a year older hence why he is a legal beatle lol
Great recording.
Brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it.
How great are they?!?
Recorded live while they played their own instruments. George Martin played the piano along with them.
Can't wait for your reaction to "A Day in the Life."
Paul has the higher voice harmonizing. He had the soul in his screams.
❤

Would love to see your reaction to "Mother" by John Lennon (from his solo career). Talk about intense! If you don't get chills from his "primal screams", you have no soul, haha.
Pretty sure it was an inspiration for Kurt Cobain, a well-known Lennon fan--his (Nirvana) song "Scentless Apprentice" in particular!
More beatles
Why did you cut your wonderful hair?
It’s actually growing back now! I recorded this about 7months ago, it’s been blocked and just got released 😅
well, the beatles first met when they caught each other cheating on each other, so they dumped their women and formed a band
