DO NOT miss reacting to ‘Rain’, which was part of the album but got released as a B-side single to Paperback Writer. It features Ringo’s greatest drumming ever!
Those little guitar runs, the added harmony on the lead vocal as the song progresses - pure Beatles genius. You are right in how every song sounds different but are identifiable as The Beatles.
Beautifully constructed song. McCartney is brilliant at that, and word play. He will often put subtle, clever easter eggs in his songs that most listeners will miss, just because he can. This song, for example. You may notice that each verse starts with a word in the title: here, there, then everywhere. I think Che noted a vital part of McCartney's genius, which is his sense of melody and harmony. And I'm glad you guys love his bass, which I have always thought is criminally underrated. Yeah, his melodies get into your head, and keep you company. If I recall correctly, McCartney said this is one of the very few songs Lennon complimented him on.
It's the Beatles magic. It can't be explained. Like how can I listen to a Beatles song so many years later and feel it's magic? How can my young nephew also feel that same magic despite the songs being from 1966? It is beyond explaining. :-)
Then John rubbed it in later with the song "How Do You Sleep?". I wonder if, in a moment of reflection, John ever regretted that song or not being more complimentary of Paul in general. I bet he did.
No one on the Beatles played bass like Paul on the Beatles. The Let It Be album was recorded live in the studio (and rooftop) so John and George had to fill in on bass when Paul was on keyboards. If you watch the Get Back documentary, you could tell both John and George hated playing bass. That's why Billy Preston's impromptu visit to the Beatles while they were recording Let It Be was such a godsend. The 1st song he played on in the studio with them was Don't Let Me Down. Lennon wanted to get tapes of their sessions on the song for him to listen, but George said just let him play along and see what happens. He nailed his part immediately. Paul, who is a great pianist himself, the look of awe and the smile on his face that he shoots to Billy is priceless...
The look on Paul's face when Billy started playing is my favorite part of the Get Back documentary, and I pretty much loved the entire 6 hours, or however long it was.
This Beatles song is the first song I heard the Beatles sing on our local radio station in 1968. I still remember, we had just returned from Mexico and as we pulled in to our house "Here, There and Everywhere" was playing. It's amazing that I still have that memory.
One of the best songs ever written, imo. And yet, there was one group the Beatles looked up to: The Beach Boys. McCartney maintains that “God Only Knows” is the best pop song ever written. I would say “Warmth Of The Sun” is right up there with it. You guys should explore the genius of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys.
I’m glad y’all noticed Paul’s excellence on the bass. I knew you would. He plays like no one else. It’s fluid and natural. He’s also the best guitarist in the band. He played bass because no one else wanted to. He’s one of those rare guys who can pick up any instrument and play it well almost immediately and pull new sounds and ideas out of it right after that. To me, this is the best album they ever made. Nearly flawless.
I've been searching for decades to find the right word for the "feeling" you guys are talking about that you just can't define when listening to The Beatles and the one that I think encapsulates that "feeling" the best is "Magical."
When you said - ",,,,,,, It's something about their melodies that kind of dig into your soul." That is the most accurate description of what Beatles songs do to people, I've ever heard. I've seen people cry, when Paul Macartney band plays Please Please me more than 50 years after it hit the world. People cry - and so did I - on hearing the last Beatles song - Now and then. Indeed - the Beatles' melodies do dig into your soul.
Bruce Johnson from the Beach Boys was visiting London and had brought a copy of Pet Sounds with him (before it had been released). They all went back to someone's flat and listened to the album and Paul went home that night and wrote this song.
McCartney said "It’s actually just the introduction that’s influenced [by the Beach Boys]… John and I used to be interested in what the old fashioned writers used to call the verse, which we nowadays would call the intro…this whole preamble to a song, and I wanted to have one of those on the front of ‘Here, There and Everywhere.’ John and I were quite into those from the old-fashioned songs that used to have them, and in putting that [sings “To lead a better life”] on the front of ‘Here, There and Everywhere,’ we were doing harmonies, and the inspiration for that was the Beach Boys. We had that in our minds during the introduction to ‘Here, There and Everywhere.’ " He claimed to have come up with the song's chords while sitting next to the swimming pool at Lennon's house in Weybridge waiting for Lennon to wake up.
I think “bittersweet” might be a good word to describe what you were saying - and it hits hard cause that’s the flavor of real life when you’re fully present, isn’t it
This album was released on August 5, 1966...the only way I would know this is because that was the day I was born. I will be 58 years old this year. Great great album.
@rickmeister thanks for sharing...I got that impression. The album is pretty early yet nothing like prior albums. It is amazing how much changed in a couple years. I can only imagine living thru it as a teenager.
Paul is one of the most amazing and musical bass players of all time. Other bassists may wow you with their technical prowess or their flashy styles, but Paul always surrounds and embellishes and carries the tunes he plays on with such class!
I think the word Che was looking for to describe what about the Beatles is distinctive and gives him chills is "soul". An utter commitment to the heart of each song, and the brilliance to pull it off.
As much as I love all kinds of music from around the world 🌎 and U.S ROCK, R&B, FUNK...the more BEATLES you play...the more I'm locked into my opinion, they are the Greatest Band Ever❣️ Magnificent. So happy to see you 2 enjoy them. Thank you ❗
Just a fantastic song. This whole album and Rubber Soul are that bridge between the cute Fab 4 and where they’re stretching their wings and exploring new musical styles , so cool
This song...still makes me well up. It's the true feeling of love that every human wants. Now & forever. And set to such harmonies & clean arrangements. Gorgeous.
Their music sounds simple and spare but it’s anything but. The music and lyrics are efficient and effective. Nothing is wasted. You can’t remove a note or a word. They were masters at their craft.
Like all great artists in any medium or genre the Beatles created musical compositions that reached deep into our innermost beings and hit a harmonic note in almost everyone. A rare feat that few artists have ever done.
This song and ‘Something’ are my two favorite songs in life. I’ve listened to it thousands of times and still get chills. McCartney has melodies running through his veins. He’s a genius, of course 🫶🏽
I feel that as well... I love music and all sorts of styles and bands, but Beatles music always hit me different, and the atmosphere surrounding them seems to come out in the music.
The Beatles are my favorite group of all time. I grew up on their music. That all said, I get the same feelings from their music: It makes me happy and sad, or perhaps nostalgic, when I listen to it. It makes me miss people and places and pets I knew in my life that are gone. It makes me miss simpler and happier times.
Don't forget the singles! The Beatles forever clanged the way music was sold and consumed from the single song to the album as the artistic unit, but that hadn't happened yet when they were releasing all this stuff in just a few years. And they refused to put the songs they released as singles--arguably their BEST songs--on albums. "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" is the single thst came out of the sessions that yielded this album. I say listen to it as well!
John Lennon used to say back then that my parents generation were the ones that thought they were nothing but noise.... lol. My mother loved this song and later on many others. They crossed genres and generations.
Pauls 1961 violin shaped Hoefner bass that was stolen 50 years recently found in original case...used in countless classic songs and live shows..was stolen 1972..check out the whole story..Paul is a happy man..
Hi Guys, You are awesome, beautiful reaction to this 🎵 , you guys were exactly right on describing some of the Beatle songs. This one is sad and melancholy and beautiful.❤️🙏👍
You guys got it right. The Beatles gift of melody was unique. Their music is typically joyful/bittersweet with a spark of the playful and innocent even as they matured. Glad you're visiting their albums!
It is TOO COOL to see you guys experience the Beatles. We went through this 50 odd years ago and watching you makes it brand new!!! I am 72 years old and loving this sh*t Bro!! Thank you. ✌, PJ
Please check out "Don't Let Me Down" live in an impromptu rooftop concert in London in the winter cold. How great they sound under such conditions is absolutely amazing! Also, their excellent cover of Motown's Smokey Robinson hit: "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" is spectacular!
Your observation of the sadness and yet happiness aspect of this and several other of their songs reminds me of the time the music critics were raving about their sophisticated composition skills not seen previously or with such frequency in pop music. Things like jumping from major to minor, changing key or time signature in odd places were among those things they seemed to do effortlessly. This one changes time signature 3 times in just the first three bars. It also uses a lot of minor chords when singing something that sounds hopeful. It kind of creates a melancholy mood. Critic's ears started pricking up around the 'A Hard Days Night' album and they were going nuts by the time of this album for the most part. There were still a couple of squares who just couldn't get hip, man. This was at one time John's favorite Paul composition. I believe this is also one of Paul's favorites as well.
I love your reactions to The Beatles music so much. Love all your reactions, but this music is different, as you said. I was 10yo when the Beatles came to America. The radio was always playing one of their songs. We all grew up listening to this beautiful music. Thank you for this one. ✌Hi from NYC.
The Beatles have a gift where they’re able to make you feel a certain way happy, sad or whatever. When you listen to them you’re in awe of their talent. Truly a gift from God for us to have some fun! Love your guys channel especially love your Beatles reaction. Can’t wait to see your reaction on if tomorrow never knows and the I am the Walrus.
As some have said, Paul was the king of melodies and harmonies. Between his time with the Beatles and his own as a solo artist, probably more hit songs with catchy melodies than any other artist. Elton John was also a Melody/Harmony genius.
Love You To was blocked. Working on getting that up.
Great, love to see you're reaction on that song !!!
Greets from the Netherlands :)
Please
Great Harrison song. Hope it makes it on! (Love to you). And this song is absolutely magical too.

This is one of the most beautiful songs the Beatles ever wrote. Thanks for the great review!
To be clear, this is Paul. All Paul. John loved this song. Often said it was his favorite.
Agreed ❗ Haven't heard this song in years. It's a beauty ❣️
No wonder I fell in love with Paul.
Paul on 60 minutes said that when they finished the song, John turned to him and said "that a really good one I love this song" which meant a lot
I hadn't heard that -thank you. Makes my day❤
I'm not believing that one ......like John's version of that conversation ...LOL :)
Paul's lying lol. And that's fine.
@@geekylove3603 John has stated in interviews that this is one of his favorite Paul songs.
This is a real quote.
Those little guitar runs, the added harmony on the lead vocal as the song progresses - pure Beatles genius. You are right in how every song sounds different but are identifiable as The Beatles.
And the bass, delicate yet powerful.
I think Paul dreams in melodies. 🖖🏼
Lovely comment.
You might already know, but that's exactly how "Yesterday" came to him.

And greetings from a fellow Trekkie!

He once said it was the only time John ever complimented him
@@lisajudge6320Thanks, Lisa! I thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure.
That thing you can't find words for? Beatles MAGIC!
It's the Beatles magic. It can't be explained. Like how can I listen to a Beatles song so many years later and feel it's magic? How can my young nephew also feel that same magic despite the songs being from 1966? It is beyond explaining. :-)
Great art is timeless, that's the best I can come up with.
Paul always said that this was his best song.
Instantly nostalgic in real time. They write songs that are timeless and eternal. Ear candy then, and now.
....candy?...I don't think so...
...maybe soul food...
Paul McCartney said that John Lennon only complemented him once on a song that he had written. It was this song.
Then John rubbed it in later with the song "How Do You Sleep?".
I wonder if, in a moment of reflection, John ever regretted that song or not being more complimentary of Paul in general. I bet he did.
Pretty good for 4 guys in their mid 20s!
Punks. (Think how much better they would have been if they had gotten haircuts.)
So simple yet so beautiful.
When Paulie nails a ballad, he NAILS IT!!
Yep, and it stays nailed.
McCartney said this is his favorite of the songs he's written.
"Changing my life with a wave of her hand", so beautiful.
One of the best songs on the album, IMO.
I'll call it a top 10 McCartney Beatle song. The album is so strong, it's hard to pick out best.
@@chrisjamieson3452 Hard to pick out best Beatles ALBUM. So many MONSTER albums....
@@chrisjamieson3452 Agree. It’s my favorite Beatles album.

One of my absolute favorite vocal performances of all time! What a lovely song!
All done with 4 tracks!
Great choice, one of my fave Beatles albums ! the cover art is from the German graphic designer and bass player Klaus Voormann.
Probably beginning to end, the strongest set of songs in their catalogue.
The Beatles met Klaus Voormann in Hamburg in 1960!
four tracks. tape. tube-driven desk. think about it. rubber soul. revolver. sgt. pepper. magical mystery tour. the white album. just wow.
Beautiful song in every way!
So pure..
'There's something about their melodies that kinda dig into your soul'. You get it dude, you get it.
Paul McCartney LIVES FOREVER
This is just a beautiful sentimental song. It’s music for grandma and mom and daughter and wife and everyone in between. ❤
Composing an original and appealing melody aint easy.
So true
I've been searching for decades to find the right word for the "feeling" you guys are talking about that you just can't define when listening to The Beatles and the one that I think encapsulates that "feeling" the best is "Magical."
Ethereal
Mid-career albums can be the best albums, and Revolver is the gold standard.
When you said - ",,,,,,, It's something about their melodies that kind of dig into your soul."

I think “bittersweet” might be a good word to describe what you were saying - and it hits hard cause that’s the flavor of real life when you’re fully present, isn’t it
They made perfect songs. This one in particular is one of my favorites. The beauty, the tranquility, it makes me feel peaceful and good.
One of the best love songs.
You both summed it up: The Beatles are masters of making you feel happy and sad at the same time. Thanks for another thoughtful reaction.
This album was released on August 5, 1966...the only way I would know this is because that was the day I was born. I will be 58 years old this year. Great great album.
Nice. That was 8 years and 1 day before I was born.

I think the word Che was looking for to describe what about the Beatles is distinctive and gives him chills is "soul". An utter commitment to the heart of each song, and the brilliance to pull it off.
It's the words - beautiful song and it means alot.

Each of those early albums was so special and so different yet always ❤
Just a fantastic song.

This song...still makes me well up. It's the true feeling of love that every human wants. Now & forever. And set to such harmonies & clean arrangements. Gorgeous.
Absolutely love this gentle but haunting song, and I also thoroughly enjoyed yall's reaction. It all has left me with a smile on my face.
So beautiful they could do it all ❤

Ahhhh…my wedding song in 1982. No longer married but this song still makes me feel very nostalgic.
Yes, there’s a special kind of feel goodness that I get listening to The Beatles.
What a great album. So many different songs.
Looking forward to when the guys get to Tomorrow Never Knows, with all that bass.
Many many of the Beatles songs have a mystical feeling about them. Like they tapped right into the spirit world.
I remember doing this as part of a Beatles medley in high school choir.
I slow-danced to this many times, back in the day.
It was our wedding song.
Another stunning song I grew up with, and loved to play in later years. 😊🤙🏼🎶❤️✨️🕊
Wistfulness is the feeling.
Paul and Linda's love story is so special. His first solo album with the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" sums it up nicely.
This one was about Jane Asher, however.
Great reaction. I love the subtle drumming on this one.
Unbelievable songwriters!!!
Don't forget the singles! The Beatles forever clanged the way music was sold and consumed from the single song to the album as the artistic unit, but that hadn't happened yet when they were releasing all this stuff in just a few years.

But the lyrics though. The fucking lyrics to that song. Are. So. Fucking beautiful.
This song is more like the songs from their writing style of 2 or 3 years earlier...beautiful.
Hi Guys,
You are awesome, beautiful reaction to this 🎵 , you guys were exactly right on describing some of the Beatle songs. This one is sad and melancholy and beautiful.❤️🙏👍
Love watching with you guys always but especially this album. I love this album. Wish you could do this album all the way through!
You guys got it right. The Beatles gift of melody was unique. Their music is typically joyful/bittersweet with a spark of the playful and innocent even as they matured. Glad you're visiting their albums!
Great review gentlemen to a special song.
I've heard so many covers of this song I forgot about the original. ❤
It is TOO COOL to see you guys experience the Beatles. We went through this 50 odd years ago and watching you makes it brand new!!! I am 72 years old and loving this sh*t Bro!! Thank you. ✌, PJ
Please check out "Don't Let Me Down" live in an impromptu rooftop concert in London in the winter cold. How great they sound under such conditions is absolutely amazing!
Also, their excellent cover of Motown's Smokey Robinson hit: "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" is spectacular!
They were geniuses! What a beautiful song. Excellent reaction, fellas !
The Beatles opened the US door for the British Invasion. They seemed to appear from nowhere and changed music forever.
Great reactions !!
You guys do a great job.
Your observation of the sadness and yet happiness aspect of this and several other of their songs reminds me of the time the music critics were raving about their sophisticated composition skills not seen previously or with such frequency in pop music. Things like jumping from major to minor, changing key or time signature in odd places were among those things they seemed to do effortlessly. This one changes time signature 3 times in just the first three bars. It also uses a lot of minor chords when singing something that sounds hopeful. It kind of creates a melancholy mood.
Critic's ears started pricking up around the 'A Hard Days Night' album and they were going nuts by the time of this album for the most part. There were still a couple of squares who just couldn't get hip, man.
This was at one time John's favorite Paul composition. I believe this is also one of Paul's favorites as well.
This is so beatiful song... I am speachless each time I hear it...
Very insightful commentary at the end.
You two are very good listeners. I'm remembering things I thought about these songs decades ago when I was learning them as a teenager.
Great review. Timeless songs. Thanks
I love your reactions to The Beatles music so much. Love all your reactions, but this music is different, as you said. I was 10yo when the Beatles came to America. The radio was always playing one of their songs. We all grew up listening to this beautiful music. Thank you for this one. ✌Hi from NYC.
This and Something are my favorite Beatles love songs
Loved this whole album - learned every word, every harmony, with friends too. Great memories. SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SURE!
The Beatles have a gift where they’re able to make you feel a certain way happy, sad or whatever. When you listen to them you’re in awe of their talent. Truly a gift from God for us to have some fun! Love your guys channel especially love your Beatles reaction. Can’t wait to see your reaction on if tomorrow never knows and the I am the Walrus.
This was a very popular wedding song back in the day.
As some have said, Paul was the king of melodies and harmonies. Between his time with the Beatles and his own as a solo artist, probably more hit songs with catchy melodies than any other artist. Elton John was also a Melody/Harmony genius.
That one surprised me with some tears.
