    I always wondered what goes through Paul and Ringo minds since they are still around after all these years, so much music concerts, albums, interviews. You wonder if they sit around and think about what a life they've had.

      Paul McCartney does and doesn't. The TV show 60 minutes had a big interview with him over the summer. While he's still kinda humbled and awed about the whole Beatles thing, he won't retire any time soon, because writing music is like breathing to him.

    “And nothing to get hung about”
    When John Lennon was young he and his mates would climb the trees and walls at Strawberry Fields. His Aunt Mimi would yell at him to stop and say:
    “Stop John you’ll get hanged!”
    And John would answer “there’s nothing to get hung about!”
    I learnt this on the Magical Mystery Tour today

      There are different stories. Another official story is that Mimi would get mad at John for playing in the grounds of Strawberry Field, to which he would reply: “They can’t hang you for it”. Either way, it’s amazing how he would remember it and add it to this song of nostalgic dreaming and longing for inner peace.

      @@heavensdoor844 The song has mood swings just like John did. But there were speed adjustments made for pitch in the production which gives it kind of an eeriness. And some things played backwards. But the bottom line is it is John singing about a place he grew up near and he gave it a mystical quality or something we would want to go there and feel but would probably be like "there's nothing here".

Each record was more creative and innovative than the last. They NEVER repeated themselves. Each song was unique and special in it's own way. They were truly the greatest musical phenomenon of the 20th century. They are timeless.

      I was hearing Beatle music as early as December 63’ on KFWB channel 98 in Los Angeles.
      They were a legend living in their own time.

      I had a similar experience in Central Park in NYC where there is the Strawberry Fields area in dedication to John Lennon. Someone was playing Lennon music on a boom box and a cop kicked him out of the park. So he stood right outside the park and blasted it. Everyone applauded and most of us had tears in our eyes. It was beautiful and reminds us how much he and the Beatles really meant to everyone. In NYC where you think of crime and mugging we had everyone together with love and that is thanks to their music.

    Such a masterful composition and an incredible feat of production.

The Beatles and George Martin were pioneers when it came to using the studio as an instrument unto itself.

  • @dc37wwe2kmods
    @dc37wwe2kmods 2 роки тому +1114

    Fun Fact: The final song is actually 2 takes combined. From the first chorus to the first verse, John sang it normally. In the second chorus and onwards however, John sang the song on a faster tempo and higher key (different take). John liked both versions so much that he decided to use them both and told the engineers to do whatever they can to fuse the two different takes. This task however is very complicated since recordings on those times were done on tape unlike digitally today. So the engineers figured out to slow the second take to match the first take. In doing so it also changes the pitch of the second take and matched the first one. That is why on the second chorus onwards, John's voice sounded a bit "different". Cheers!
    EDIT: The transition from the first take to the second one is in the second chorus at the "'cause I'm going to" line. It's on 1:00

    It’s absolutely crazy how good this quality is. Especially since this was from 1967. This literally could’ve been recorded today. It feels so eerie and futuristic, but that’s fitting for one of the best songs of all time.

      It's iconic! If you love The Beatles, you should definitely check out Kaz Bielinski! His single "Love Never Dies" is so good. Listen here: ua-cam.com/video/2vosjfyBXJM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KAZBIELINSKIMUSIC

    I was in NYC in Dec 2000, on the 20th anniversary of John's murder, because my sister was there, dying of breast cancer. I was in her hospital room that afternoon, when it came on the tv that there was to be a huge celebration. She & I were 2 of the little kids in Feb 1964 who sat in front of the tv to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. The first concert we ever went to was The Beatles, in Memphis, August 19, 1966, four days before her 13th birthday. I was 9. In 2000, she was in and out of consciousness, the cancer had spread to her brain, but when she heard 'Strawberry Fields' and that people were gathering to honor John, she bolted up in her bed and ordered me to go. I didn't want to leave her, I knew she was very close to death. But, big sisters, you know... I went to Strawberry Fields in Central Park and it was amazing. So much love, such a feeling of the best of humanity, surrounded by so many people, strangers, but everyone peaceful, laughing, smiling, singing, crying. I have my sister to thank for so many things, and this was one of them. RIP Lynda. I love you.

      I don't think I've ever read a comment on UA-cam that brought me to tears like yours did. My mother's favorite group was the Beatles. When she got sick the last five years of her life I cared for her 24-7. She was completely immobile and in a state of hopelessness. I knew I could get a smile out of her whenever I played her favorite Beatles album Rubber Soul, especially the song Norwegian Wood. I miss you mama
