ABBEY ROAD WAS AN OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE! TAKE THE JOURNEY WITH ME & WATCH!
Also, if you stick through until the end, you will be informed on my first update of the experiment. We review Sgt. Peppers week.
I love how "Something" is like a duet between George's voice and Paul's bass. It's an amazing combination.
Frank Sinatra once said that Something was his favourite Lennon Maccrtney composition, even though Harrison wrote and sang it
@@maloz63 yeah he did!!!
Paul instinctively knew what a song needed to make it better.
Interesting observation.
Initially George hated how busy Paul's bassline was. I'm pretty sure he came around to it though.
It's weird how much joy I get out of watching someone discover music I've loved for basically all of my life. Thank you for this.
👏 Me too
ME TOO!!!
Abbey Road is literally my #1 favorite album of all time, dead tied with Rubber Soul. If you haven’t heard Rubber Soul, you should definetly listen to it (you should also add time stamps for each song, btw)
I'm pretty sure she did all of the Beatles albums in order (up to Abbey Road as of today), but about half of them seem to have been taken down.
Those 2 albums are my fave Beatles albums too!!
@@hammerpocket Yes, she has said she listened to it and others already which is why she didn't review it. She wanted to do first time listening reviews. I also think she said she might consider doing vids on it later.
My favourite too, but together with _Revolver_
@@JaneFokster My take is by Abbey Road they learnt to master all the recording techniques from Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Peppers and came up with a mature masterpiece.
The guitar jam in The End was Paul, John & George all trading solos. It's been said that it was recorded in a single take.
It's Paul, George and John, in that order.
@@mrjoepad1 I'm aware of that
Yes I heard that too, that it was done in one take; they each took three turns. Very cool indeed. They rocked with the best of them.
John was so serious about the guitar “battle” that he actually asked Yoko to wait outside the studio while they recorded it.
Yes it was one take. Can we say they went out on top and have stayed their the last 50 plus years.
A popular knowledgeable youtuber "Beato" says those two minutes of "The End" contains everything magical that defined the whole Beatle experience. Great lyric to finish on , a theme of" love and positiveness" (Abbey Road was the last album they played together"), the musicianship - freestyling in seamless transition one to the other, the harmonies, Ringo's drumming, the melody and the orchestration. Brings a tear to the eyes.
I'm 49 now, and had my Beatles discovery 'phase' in the early 1990s in college. Yet still, when I listen to them even now, it's as fantastic and as fresh as it was nearly 30 years ago.
A suggestion for albums
1 Past masters vol. one and two
2 George Harrison - all things must pass
3 John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band
3 George Harrison - Best of Dark Horse
4 Paul Mccartney - Ram
5 Paul Mccartney Band on the Run
And Ringo Starr - Ringo
Another suggestion would be to watch the films. I’d love to see the reaction to A Hard Day’s Night…
Great suggestions! I would love her to keep the Beatles train rolling by doing reactions to these albums.
McCartney was the most prolific, lots of interesting songs from Another Day onwards.
Also The Traveling Wilburys. Featuring George.
Something goes from A minor to A major and back. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Frank Sinatra thought so.
I believe Ringo's only Beatle drum solo was in 'The End'. You have to listen to side 2, starting at 'You Never Give Me Your Money' til the end, without pause.
I love your reactions, but you seem to have missed the fact that everything on side 2 from 'You never give me your money' through to 'The end' is a medley.
The Beatles had a bunch of unfinished songs, rather than finishing them they decided to mix them all together into 1 big epic piece. They are not really meant to stand alone.
So try listening to them without pausing for the intended effect!
Agreed - I'm not sure she understood that. Although, it's an easy thing to miss if you don't realize this structure in advance. Given that she'll listen to this in its entirety later, I think she'll catch on pretty quickly.
Even though it probably wasn't meant, there is a heavy symbolism you can read into to the finish of the medley, the final piece of music on the final Beatles album (almost): "Carry that weight" - they would indeed have to carry the weight of having been part of the biggest band for the rest of their lives. And then... "The end". A final guitar battle between them, a showpiece for Ringo, and then it's all over. Almost.
I get that feeling too, of a kind of elegy for the band's passing; a marking of that moment in history - including You Never Give Me Your Money, reflecting the ghastliness of the Allan Klein management debacle, Golden Slumbers and The End.
Although it's been argued the Beatles never realised this would be their final recorded album (there was some talk among them of 'the next album', that never materialised) and as a culmination of several years of a kind of spiritual exhaustion and different directions creating widening divisions between the four of them, the end of the band as a unit - I can't help but think McCartney knew in his heart the 'end was nigh', when he wrote lines like 'Once there was a way, to get back homewards; once there was a way, to get back home... Oh, sleep pretty darling, do not cry... and I will sing a lull-abye-ee....
[My apologies for that l-o-n-n-g-g sentence, I couldn't seem to break it down so I hope it makes some sense!]
Also, what a line to finish with...."And in the end...the love you take... is equal to the love...you make." Such an apt and poignant verse to end this stellar band's career !
The synth sounds on 'Here comes the sun' were a very early Moog synthesiser which had teething problems, if they wanted a sustained note it just wouldn't hold it's pitch and would drop down, a happy accident that they liked and then incorporated into the track. 'Sun King' was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's hit instrumental 'Albatross', which had a similar hypnotic feel. The Latino lyrics were a bit of Lennon's nonsense style, (like 'Come together' it's mostly gobbledegook), it's just interesting sounds and wordplay. In 'Polythene Pam' John uses his exaggerated Liverpool 'Scouse' accent, he was actually the least working class of the Beatles and adopted a heavier accent for effect a lot of the time. 'Here comes the sun' and 'You never give me your money' both reflect their respective writers feelings over aspects of their Apple Records company, and their growing frustrations with business issues. Harrison skipped one of those meetings to escape to his friend, Eric Clapton's, idyllic house and grounds. During an uncommonly bright early spring day, he was inspired and looking forward to the time when he was no longer shackled by being a Beatle. 'Because' is likely inspired by Beethoven, and features their producer, George Martin, playing the electric harpsicord. It took a lot of effort for Martin, as he considered himself not that great a player, but needed to keep tightly in sync with Lennon's even guitar picking. The Side 2 medley was really a selection of half finished ideas pooled together, tying up loose ends. Some no more than a verse or two, which in an alternative universe may easily have remained fragments of demos never to be officially heard, or may have been worked up into full songs in their own right. In reality The Beatles rarely had anything left over that didn't eventually get released as a polished track, albeit most surfacing on their subsequent solo releases.
The moog is used a lot on this album on songs like Because and Maxwell's Silver hammer to just two.
Another wonderful reaction, thanks! You are the best music reactor I have seen!
Just to mention, the songs on Side 2 from 'You never give my your money' onwards are designed to be heard as one long song, a medley. I understand you separated the songs for reaction and analysis, but I think you will appreciate Side 2 even more if you listen to it as one long piece of music!
All those high harmonies that you are reproducing in Here comes the sun and Because are from McCartney, his voice is amazing
And the guitar riff she highlights on "Come Together" is a bass guitar riff created by Paul. The song is referred to as "by John Lennon" by Wikipedia etc. but it's very definitely a Lennon & McCartney song -- the bass riff is half the power of it, as she suggests. Paul also had a great deal of input on every aspect of Beatles drumming.
@@OnePost909 Also, McCartney suggested the slow, swamp boogie vibe that makes the song so memorable. They first tried other arrangements that weren't working.
@@OnePost909 it’s a song composed by John Lennon arranged and produced by all Beatles. George’s guitar tone is perfection. Ringo’s drumming again is like nobody else. Paul’s bass is perfection. John’s singing is otherworldly, as in Goat performance material. George Martin’s production=PERFECT
Almost if not all of their songs are legitimate hits. Like I’m jamming and experiencing something so unbelievable all at once. I’ve listened to their albums multiple times. Definitely my favourite band. I’m loving your breakdown/analysis reaction to their music!
I've only just discovered your reaction channel. Wow! what fabulously intelligent and enjoyable analyses you do. Now I have the pleasant task of catching up with your older vids. Very well done!
Great job, Crystal! I really enjoy your full album reactions!!
That entire second side is a beautiful medley, there's a nice video of a restored version. When it returns to You Never Give me Your Money it really blew my mind.
She’s killin it with these reactions I really enjoy listening to her break down these songs musically 👌
Good reaction. I can't believe you didn't mention Paul McCartney's bass line in Come Together. Abbey Road side 2 is a Medley of songs, hence many of the songs were grouped together and played that way by radio stations.
His bass on Something is also amazing
His bass playing during this period is simply amazing
@@SteveWeintraub346 better, even
Yes, McCartney was not lazy on the bass. He worked it even in the early years live on stage where bands were more into keeping their playing manageable so as not to make any mistakes. His bass playing, I've always felt, was a little under appreciated or even over-looked.
The lyrics “you’re asking me will my heart grow, I don’t know, I don’t know” and the line after are probably my favourite Beatles lyrics of all time along with “I Me Mine”, don’t know what it is about it but it just gives severe chills. Carry That Weight also gives me chills on the medley part of the album, the way it just comes firing in after golden slumbers is genius, I never used to really like this album, but I’ve definitely came round on it lately.
I'm pretty sure it's "love grow", not heart. But yeah, this album is pretty special.
I realized Paul's vocal range was absolutely mind boggling when I heard "Oh Darling" ffs
One of the greatest performances of his career, for sure! I don't know how anyone cannot stand in awe of his vocal talents after hearing that song.
@@analogblues When the Beatles were going strong I remember a faction of people I hung out with would say they liked the Stones better, and disparaged the Beatles. I never forgave them for that.
lol Chris Farley (interviewing Paul McCartney on SNL): Hey Paul....you remember that time you were in the Beatles?
Paul: Yes Chris, i remember.
Chris: Remember that time you said 'the love you take is equal to the love you make'......is...uh...is that true?
lol Loved that sketch.
Yeah, that was so funny.
You’ve touched me that an album I value so highly is so fully adored by you. It’s like I’m enjoying the album again for the very-first time. I have a couple of fun facts for you. As you appreciate The Beatles incredible artistry, how amazing is it that this was there very-last recorded album together? That is sometimes not acknowledged enough. Ff2: they fleetingly toyed with the idea of asking the Beach Boys to sing with them on Here Comes The Sun.
There is something so absolutely devastatingly beautiful about the fact that this is the last album they recorded together! This album is one of my all time favorite albums by anyone ever! I just love it 💜 Thank you for sharing these fun facts with me! I send my love! I hope you enjoy our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/K_0wy5iWcKg/v-deo.htmlsi=GfZwjevl8xJmptea
Recorded AFTER Let It Be, but released before that album. The Beatles go out on top--their timing was perfect! Fabtastic review Crystal.
So great! Your reaction is timeless. Their music affects every generation the same way. With joy.
The Beatles are the greatest ❤️
So very very true!!!! 🧡 I hope you are great an excellent day & I would love to hear your thoughts on today’s clip: ua-cam.com/video/K_0wy5iWcKg/v-deo.htmlsi=TDWBH9LouWju6gol
The electronic sound was an accident on the Moog synthesiser was a fault in the unit, in "Here comes the sun". It should have stayed on a single note, but the note decayed, but they left it in the recording.
You’re awesome, Crystal. The BEST reactor and analyzer of music next to Rick Beato. I think “Abbey Road” is an amalgamation of all The Beatles musical styles from 1962-1969 rolled into one album.
I agree,. It's almost a redux of all their talents given to the world one more time, to end the argument once and for all of who the best band of all time was.
@@phila3884 There never was an argument about it to me ! The Beatles were unique. A one off. The footballing equivalent of Lionel Messi.
That was an insight Burton Cummings mentioned. The Beatles were the first "pop" band to write music in minor keys. They changed the rule book from day one.
The drum rolls like a predator in the night.
The "funny papers" are the section of the newspaper with the comic strips.
Thank you! 💕 🖤 I hope with my entire heart that you enjoy our newest reaction video to the wonderful Fleetwood Mac & their masterpiece of an album, Rumors: ua-cam.com/video/4-E-fU_5a3I/v-deo.htmlsi=2pnkGwmqcj3AA5zL
Abbey Road is the best thing the Beatles ever created. And damn, that means a lot.
Revolver, way better
And credit for it must go to Paul. He was the one who rang George Martin, their producer, and asked if they could all get together one more time and make a really good album to end their career on. George said he'd agree, but only if they promised not to argue among themselves as they had done earlier, whilst filming "Let It Be". Paul said "Okay", and persuaded the others to make the album. The rest is history. "Abbey Road" is arguably their best effort - it is simply superb. It's certainly their most polished production.
I completely agree. It moves me each time I listen to the album. Their best album from top to bottom.
"You Never Give Me Your Money" was about Paul's frustrations with their manager Allen Klein and the state of the Beatles business affairs. Here's Paul on the song:
"This was me directly lambasting Allen Klein’s attitude to us: no money, just funny paper, all promises and it never works out. It’s basically a song about no faith in the person, that found its way into the medley on Abbey Road. John saw the humour in it."
And here is George Harrison's similar statement:
" ’Funny paper’ - that’s what we get. We get bits of paper saying how much is earned and what this is and that is, but we never actually get it in pounds, shilling and pence. We’ve all got a big house and a car and an office, but to actually get the money we’ve earned seems impossible."
'Because' is based on the chords of the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Play it and you'll hear.
And what is so amazing is how primitive (by today's standards) the recording process was in 1969. There were only 4 tracks available on the tape so they often had to do vocals live and then mix them onto a track together with an instrument to free up a track for overdubs. But the sound world they were able to create with such lmited technical resources is truly incredible.
This record was actually recorded on an 8 track reel to reel machine; still impressive how much they were able to do with those 8 tracks
I think they had 8 tracks starting with the White Album. But, other than that, your point stands.
Mean Mr Mustard was inspired by a newspaper article (Daily Mirror 7 June 1967) about a man named John Mustard. Oh, and in the song, his sister was originally named Shirley.
Beginning of the song “Because” is Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata played Backwards
Such a great reaction to a magnificent album. Thank you
I love The Beatles, and I mean every one of their albums. In my opinion Abbey Road is their finest creation. One of the best concept albums of all time.
Loved your reaction particularly to Because. That song always brings a lump to my throat. 👍
BECAUSE IS MY FAVORITE!!!! 🧡 I would love to hear your thoughts on our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/K_0wy5iWcKg/v-deo.htmlsi=eyLOzz4ms4m7kTHq
Harrison wrote “Here Comes the Sun” at dawn in Eric Claptons back yard. Beautiful song.
“Something” always makes me cry
@Crystal Shannon You're my favorite of the many UA-cam podcasters who showcase The Beatles and 1960s music in general. You can articulate your enthusiasm and talk about keys and time signatures, rather than just saying, like others, "Wow, this is really great!" I feel almost as if I'm hearing the music again for the first time through you.
Two cool facts is that 1. Frank Sinatra himself said that ‘Something’ by George Harrison is THE greatest love song ever made and imo I completely agree and 2. The song ‘The End’ was the final time all 4 ever recorded as a team, many say it was ‘I Me Mine’ but John had left by the point that they recorded that song, for me personally ‘The End’ is THE perfect song to end their collaboration as a complete group because it’s both an awesome track but also has this finality and completeness to it
There are lots of great love songs, something is one of them. Sinatra may have loved the song but that's only an opinion. If you ask me, Lennon's "woman" is a greater song than something.
I own very few albums...this is one of them....one of their best! I love your detailed analysis of the music. Epic.
Love your reaction and analysis on my favorite bands music! In case you're not aware I noticed (and others) that your visual, not audio, froze at about 29:49.
I'm glad you noticed Ringo's solo in The End, that's his only solo in The Beatles, he didn't like them (the solos, that is lol).
I’m with you on Mr Kite, such an amazing song!
This was all about producer-George Martin/Paul.They wanted a medley blended together.John in a 1974-interview,said Absolutely Hated the arrangement.
Oh wow! I had no idea that those were John’s feelings on it! I gotta say I personally love it! 🧡 I hope you enjoy our newest review of a wonderful and super fun album: ua-cam.com/video/K_0wy5iWcKg/v-deo.htmlsi=eyLOzz4ms4m7kTHq
John heard Yoko playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st movement on the piano. It inspired John to write Because.
Best album ever - side 2 is amazing! Listen to it over and over again!! 😍💕
By the way, I recall that Frank Sinatra (world class crooner) was quoted as saying that "Something" was the most beautiful or touching love song he heard in the past 20 years at that point, which was saying something coming from him. He mistakenly attributed it to Lennon/McCartney instead of Harrison though. Anyway people of his generation weren't usually as gracious or complimentary about music from the Beatles' generation, either. They disliked "the British invasion" almost as much as I've disliked rap music. So it was a cool and notable compliment, which most people agree with. I rank Here, There and Everywhere up there too, (as a happy one) but Something (as a heart-felt one) will probably be the one (of so many Beatles love songs) that will endure for 200 years.
Your best video in the series. So insightful and articulate but with feeling and emotion. 👍❤️
As for George Harrison's jacket: There was a rumour in that time that Paul was dead and was replaced by Billy Shears (remember Sgt.Peppers?). So the picture at the backcover gave hints of the situation. John was wearing white as the doctor, Ringo black as a priest, Paul was walking barefoot as the deceased and George wore jeans pants and jacket as the grave digger.
People are insane.
Lots of imagination....
The best love song, ever!!!!!!!!!
Very true!!!! Absolutely astonishing! I hope you enjoy our newest reaction 🧡ua-cam.com/video/K_0wy5iWcKg/v-deo.htmlsi=eyLOzz4ms4m7kTHq
Pink Floyd has always been my favourite band, but after hearing Abbey Road, I realised there'd be no Pink Floyd like we know it without this album. Mind blown. This is a significantly great album. I listened to the Beatles from the first album and worked my way up to Abbey Road, which I knew was legendary. What an experience it was to listen to it for the first time. This happened spring 2022.
I think that you understand Mr Harrison pretty well.
This reminds me of when I got my tonsils out 20 years ago and while in bed recovering listened to all my moms Beatles records.
Wonderfull rea tion video. Regarding Paul's amazing vocals, you should listen to his song Monkberry Moon Delight from the album Ram.
Hello Shannon! Your observation for "Because" was very astute; it was inspired by a piece from the Romantic Era. Yoko was playing Beethoven's, "Moonlight Sonata," I believe, and John asked her to play it backwards, and thus, the inspiration for "Because" began.
You are nothing but AWESOME! We love you so much. Especially doing Beatles.
Any chance you might do a video each for Beatles Past Masters Vol 1 & 2? It'd be a shame if you missed out on all their great singles, most of which were not on their studio albums. Thanks, Crystal! I'm a huge fan of your channel :)
After AR, the four went their separate ways, which had been in the offing for awhile. (They recorded their last annual Christmas fan-club record in the fall of 1969.) George, Paul, and Ringo got together in January 1970 to record George's "I Me Mine", without Lennon (who later said that he would have participated if he'd known about the session).
That was fun to watch knowing she was going to be blown away by the Medley at the end. I can't say I've ever made a tie from Blackbird to Here Comes the Sun but it is an interesting take. Really nice seeing a new generation fall in love with The Beatles.
And in the end the love you take is equal too the love you make
At 29:49 comes around. The video of you stops/ freeze. But it seems like certain parts of the album makes you look like you were going to cry. I can understand. Me too. It's bar far my favorite CD/ album. Good job.
Omg I’ve been counting down the days for this to be released I’m so happy
OMG I love this reacting! Tysm for this and what about making an elton john album react, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road?
the best thing about your reaction is that it makes me want to go and listen to it again immediately...
Very enjoyable and insightful views, keep it going, too bad you didn't do the earlier Beatle albums on vid it would've been interesting to see the progression of their music as you checked them out for the first time, nevertheless always great to hear another person's take on the greatest musical act ever, especially coming from a performer like you 🎶👌
Listening to THE END reminds me of that moment New Year's Eve when the new year roars in and we're dancing and drinking and hugging, and then suddenly it's the first morning of the year and we take our coats and purses to the car and shuffle off to the local breakfast diner, grateful we've made it through another year! :D :D :D
denin is nice touch! Props for your musical ability!
fantastic LP
Because is based in the Beethoven "Moonlight sonata"
Beethoven, "Because" and John Lennon - UA-cam
And in "The end" there is a solo of each one of them, Drums or guitar
You should listen to the "Past Masters" album and the "1" album which are compilations and include some songs that don't belong to any album
This was the end of the Beatles! This is how they said Goodbye!!! And in the End,,, each one took a lead to say goodbye! First Ringo then amazing leads by Paul, John, George, Paul, John, George (maybe not in that order) and the final lead by George. This is their swan song! And their last message as a collective group "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. And then they were gone, except for a delayed release of Let It Be. ABBY Road remains one of my all time favorite albums of all time.
on the vinyl album, the last number was a few seconds away from the previous. my turntable would lift up automatically, and i didnt hear that last bit for years. it was like a hidden track. not even credited on the original album, so you didnt notice if you missed it. the original easter egg.
"Come Together"-inspired by (some might say, "nicked") Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me", one of my favorite tracks. The Beatles producer, George Martin, always wanted to open their albums with what he called "potboilers": uptempo rockers. And, they usually closed their albums with rockers, too. The early Beatles albums up to "Rubber Soul", with the exception of "A Hard Day's Night", conclude with rocking covers ("Twist And Shout", "Money", "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby", "Dizzy Miss Lizzie"). Only "A Hard Day's Night" lacks a cover song and one to conclude the album. I've always wondered what song they could have picked.
"Something"-classic. This is George Harrison truly becoming Lennon and McCartney's equal. Everything about this song is just lovely. I agree 100, Crystal. And that slide guitar. It melts my heart.
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"-I like it. I know most people don't, but I really like it. Very campy, some might say "politically incorrect", but I've often thought it sounded like a Kinks tune.
"Oh! Darling"-1950's doo-wop throwback and one of my favorite rockers. Paul trying to do his Little Richard voice and he reportedly had a hard time getting there so he would sing the song repeatedly in the studio to get his vocals to sound like that.
"Octopus's Garden"-fun, happy, optimistic tune. Very Ringo. Short, simple, and sweet.
"I Want You (She's So Heavy)"-epic rocker. It's so hypnotic especially the last 3 minutes of the song with those repeated notes and then it just cuts off!
"Here Comes The Sun"-Very George. Spiritual and so much optimism and love in this tune. He wrote it while "sagging off" from Apple meetings and went to Eric Clapton's house. It was a sunny spring day and this song truly conveys the mood. I tear up every time I hear it ever since he died especially that Moog flourish near the end of the song. I'm actually tearing up now as I write this. (NOT KIDDING)
"Because"-I jokingly call this one "Thgilnoom Atanos". Yoko had a lot of input with this song and I love the middle part, "Love is old, love is new" when the Moog comes in. The Moog really makes the song.
"You Never Give Me Your Money/"Sun King"/"Mean Mr. Mustard"/"Polythene Pam"/"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"-I love it. All of it. All of these puzzle pieces put together to form a beautiful jigsaw. Crystal, if you ever get a chance to check out Billy Joel's "The Stranger" album, I highly recommend it. His song, "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant", is very influenced by this medley.
"Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"-I hate to sound redundant, but I freakin' love it. And I love the callback to "You Never Give Me Your Money". McCartney gets the bulk of the credit here and he deserves it, but I think credit should be given to Lennon, Harrison, and Starr for their parts. To me, it was a team effort and each one contributed.
"The End"-After 7 albums, Ringo FINALLY gets a drum solo. And, Paul, George, and John take turns playing the guitar solo. I never knew until years later that it was all three of them playing the solo, but you can definitely tell a difference in the styles.
"Her Majesty"-A cheeky way to end the album, but lovely.
Wonderful fun! Thank you! Did you do Revolver? Will you?
I think you are great!!! Where did you receive your musical training?
Maxwells Silver Hammer reminds me of Mack the Knife
Yessssss!!!! 💜💜💜💜 Walter! I’m so glad you said this because I haven’t been able to put my finger on what it was! I would love to hear your thoughts on today’s post:
ua-cam.com/users/shorts7GPAOTmMHNo?feature=share
The last half of the second side is really a single composite set of songs. One of the first albums to use the moog synthesizer. I believe this is the last album they worked on together, even though Let IT Be was released afterward. Let IT was produced by Phil Soector, and kind of uneven. Abbey Road they reunited with George Martin in a conscious attempt to do one last album properly.
Yeah it’s their best work
Completely with you there!!!! 🧡 I hope your day is beautiful and that you enjoy our newest reaction! This one is fun and the album is excellent! I’d love to hear your thoughts: ua-cam.com/video/K_0wy5iWcKg/v-deo.htmlsi=eyLOzz4ms4m7kTHq
You see him. On come together you hear all of the music but Paul's vocal is a little bit muted and it's lower volume as if he's singing from the grave in the coffin And he only comes in on specific words in the lyrics. Walrus gumboot.
Yes, first listen.
Why is the video frozen at the end?
When you get to Anthology 3 there is a track of Because but vocals only you will absolutely love. TY.
P. S. If you have head phones you should wear.
Crystal, you should do a cover of I Want You. It sounded great when you sang it. Maybe the contrast with Lennon's masculine delivery made it stand out. Play with it.
Prelude and Fugue in D-minor, BMV 851; Invention in D-minor, BMV 775. Bach was fond of the key.
A Call to Action For the Avengers of Music!!!!
A thoughtful and original insight into my favourite album, well done young lady.
I also always thought the lyrics at the end of Sun King was Spanish, Portuguese etc. But I finally looked them up and they are Lennon’s crazy word-play of everyday words. Genius
I think Paul wrote that , remembering random words from his school days Spanish.
Starting with "You never give me your money", is a series of songs strung all together, even going back to You never give me your money, as a reprise.
Patti Boyd was the subject of Something, as well as Clapton's "Layla". She must have been amazing.
Well she was so beautiful but also seems like such a sweet person. And to think George had no hard feelings when his friend Eric Clapton ended up with her.
Patti was also the subject of “I Need You” and “Wonderful Tonight.” Her sister Jenny was the subject of “Jennifer Juniper.”
Love love love your reactions and comments!!!! Is there any way you can upload your reactions to the Beatles albums before Sgt. Pepper? Thank you so much for sharing your reactions
Come Together in D minor = "Take a sad song and make it better"
Beautiful reaction. Rubber Soul I believe is their best album…..maybe Revolver??? Either way if you haven’t done those…you’re missing out on the heart of the Beatles career
Her Majesty was on the tape by mistake. They liked it. They choose to leave it in. Those who know the message of love from the Beatles know that "The End" was the very last music they recorded. Now THAT is a way to cap off a career.
Despite Paul’s protestations “Maxwells silver hammer “ really blows.
Gives you an idea why old geezers like me that grew up in this era totally dismiss what is called music today.
The medley suite on the second side is best heard as one piece. Sun King till the End.
Masterful use of quilted songs into a single work.
