i just wanted to say i listened to your album and it was really good! ive been listening to the engineers are here and cannonball express over and over
@Patrick Ancona wtf Yah Knob-Head Lennon was soooo not a practicing Christian or anything close to religion, there's literal evidence of him saying saying things such as "The beatles are bigger then Jesus" wrote a song called "Imagine" and in the damn song he wrote and sings "Imagine No Religion" Its Easy If You Try" So In Your On Words "gtfo" you're spewing "BS" and you "Bugger-Off" and theres ALOT of evidence Out There that points towards the fact that the most religious Beatles could be Paul and later in life Ringo When He finally got Sober so just No...No Ya Wanker
I think Sean nailed it during his recent interviews in celebration of John’s 80th birthday when he talked about how it bugs him when people assume what John would’ve felt about something. He went on to say that whatever John would’ve thought or said wouldn’t be what people think because he was constantly evolving. I remember an interview in which John said “People think I’m anti-religious but I’m the most religious fella.” Later he also made the comment, “We’re all Christ & we’re all Hitler”. So no matter what he really thought, those influences were always there. Interestingly, one of his final demos was “Help Me to Help Myself” in which he was obviously reaching out to God. The only person that may know how he really felt is Yoko & even if she did reveal it, most people would discredit it because of their bias against her.
I love when the Beatles did those “chaotic” freestyle parts that are now so iconic. I mean, for me, the song is not even close to being finished until I hear, “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah ...” Then I switch to harmony, repeat the lyric and feel this sense of satisfaction. Reminds me of the end of “A Day in the Life” with the chaotic orchestra all playing different patterns until that bit of silence followed by that final ominous E-chord on piano and harmonium. No one can re-create it or improve on it. One can only pay homage to it.
I bet John lifted that idea from Brian Wilson. At the end of God Only Knows Brian goes into that vocal part "ba ba ba ba bahhh" similar to the style of Barbara Ann.
The Jason Knight Fiasco Band - Maybe. Paul is on record of saying that it did definitely inspire “Here, There and Everywhere.” It’s cool how *Rubber Soul* inspired *Pet Sounds* and *Pet Sounds* influenced *Sgt. P’s.*
I read in a book about the Beatles, John wrote this the weekend before it was due. Paul and John were excellent at 'writing on command'. They were often given almost impossible deadlines, and like 'All you Need Is Love', was to be simple.. Indeed everyone in the world, could 'questimate' how the chorus would go on the 1st, time, the 2nd chorus, everyone knew the words and melody.. That's talent. I went to Strawberry Fields, in Central Park, NYC on the 10 anniversary of Lennon's death.. There were thousands of people there, spread over a large section of Central Park.. People who flew in from all over the world, to be there Dec. 8th.. There were lots of guitarists walking around playing Beatles songs. I knew and sang the lyrics to every Beatle song that was performed, and so did the hundreds of people. The fact that a huge number of people would come from all over the world, to this spot, 10 years after a person's death, and know the words to every song sung. struck me as PROFOUND.. Other than Mcartney there was no other person on planet Earth, that could have gotten the same response. I will always be grateful for my age, to be only 7 years younger than them, and had them be the soundtrack to my life.
Eugenius yeah, my birthday was 3 days before. It’s sad because any time I find someone I really like their music they always end up dying somewhere near my birthday. Have you ever just listened to the beatles otherwise John Lennon songs on your birthday? As like a memorial?
This song was written for the Our World first live worldwide broadcast on Sunday. I saw a documentary about Paul popping his head inside the door when John was supposed to be writing the song after Paul worked out the melody and said do you have lyrics for the song, and John said we have two days!
I remember listening to this in the summer of ‘67 aged 6, living in Swinging London with my Journalist dad, and designer mum. The song evokes the spirit of an age that had a feeling that is hard to convey to those who weren’t immersed in it at the time. Thanks for another great video Mr Hollyhobs.
Alex Hatfield - Yes, there was a certain spirit to that age. It could be felt by almost all the young, although we weren't aware of how historical it would eventually become. The Beatles' last public performance had been in 1966 (summer), & young people were really curious about what the band was up to. The occasional soundbite of news about them might come over the radio every two months or so, but they weren't considered to be hard news, compared with other topics of the day. There simply wasn't the stratospheric scrutiny that exists today for popular entertainers, so this was our first chance to see them together in a year. Can't recall if I saw this live, or as a rebroadcast, but it was loved by all who saw it.
As an 11yo in Australia, I watched this live on our one B&W TV. First time watching anything live from the other side of the world via satellite, and the fact it was the first time the world had heard this song, ever, blew my mind, it was a unifying time of love and hope, even though I was too young to be an actual hippy. I rate this and the live first steps on the moon 2 years later on the same TV, as the biggest TV events I've ever watched.
I remember laying on the floor positively glued on the TV screen watching this and loved it...still brings back wonderful innocent memories of a 13 year old.
The "All You Need is Love" international broadcast and their JFK Airport interview were the two of the most important cultural events of the 20th Century. Thanks for this post.
That's interesting, and a story that Paul doesn't mention. Obviously 'All you need...' is a better song. Maybe Paul was a bit embarassed about his effort. I personally love both songs.
Paul's song was "Your Mother Should Know". They were about to start recording it when Paul and John decided "All You Need Is Love" is more appropriate for the occasion.
Finex 1278 First off how old are you? Because if you weren’t there to see how they completely changed the face of music-your opinion means nothing. You also should learn how to write a coherent sentence as your point isn’t clear. A sentence doesn’t start with ‘Like if ............
Nickster64 ELP You’re speaking very very very idiotically lad, it’s not an opinion, first off, it’s a fact, and also, someone like you has no right to be trash talking somebody like that on the internet, especially abt writing proper sentence in a youtube comment
There they were John Paul and George sitting up on stools playing one of their greatest and most meaningful songs while rock stars like Mick Jagger, Keith Moon and Donovan were sitting at their feet. How appropriate because the Beatles were above any other rock group that has ever been and ever will be.
I remember watching part of "Our World" on the local PBS affiliate KQED in the Berkeley Hills, California with my mom. I was 7. Crazy beautiful exciting times.
You forgot one detail which was the main idea that the whole band agreed upon. At one level the lyrics mean that love is the most important thing in the world, but it can also mean that love is the one thing you are lacking, the thing you haven't got. You might have universal love and compassion ,however, we live in a world where it's extremely rare. I enjoyed your video more than most that I’ve come across. BCNU👌🏻🚁
I remember 'All you need is love' being played in the last episode of the cult tv series "The Prisoner" either in late 67 or early 68. Highly unusual for a Beatles song to be played on UK tv back then and even now.
I love all of your videos. This is by far my favorite Beatles channel, I have learned so much about the Beatles that I didn't know from from your videos. Truly the Sweetest
Most of The Beetles songs or should I say all songs are simple but have a deep meaning and feeling. This song is one of them and I love that it is. Love can be simple but it has a deep meaning and powerful feeling.
Rather than capitalizing on the loss of lives through war, and making a song to gain from that loss, they instead chose to sing about love and capitalize on an ideal without benefiting from a terrible cause. Not to say songs like "Eve of Destruction" aren't needed-I LOVE that song, and it's scary how it is still relevant in its message today. But this was a great chance to engender a positive message, and encourage the brotherhood/sisterhood of all humans. I think they made the right choice.
This is the Big Bang of the hippie era, which had it’s climax in Woodstock Festival, with a Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner with his guitar and a Joe Cocker with a hippie shirt in front of thousands of people immortalized by singing With A Little Help From My Friends, written (once again) by Lennon-McCartney.
I cannot overstate he influence The Beatles - and this song in particular - had on shaping MY political outlook as an American teen approaching DAFT AGE during the War in Vietnam. You see, back in my day they held a LOTTERY on who went to war. On the other hand, the Vietnamese had no such option, the war came to THEM
Gee whiz! I really command your Beatles videos. They are so good! I really enjoy them! Keep up the very good work! Yes indeed! The Beatles changed not only my life but the lives of so many! Peace Brother and again Thank you for your wonderful Beatles videos! Peace ✌️
I saw a documentary about how it was written and some guys from another band said you would think the beatles would be very nervous about such a huge event and having to come up with a new song in such a short space of time, but they said Paul and John were very relaxed like they didnt have a care in the world. They kept asking them, have you written a song yet , time is ticking, John and paul were like, theres plenty of time, no rush, we have nearly 2 days. These other guys couldnt believe how casual they were, they asked them again the next day, have you come up with anything yet. And John was like, yeah weve got the chorus, it goes like this. Love Love Love, Love Love Love. These guys were like, is that it, is that all youve come up with. They thought it was going to be a disaster. They couldnt believe on the day of the live broadcast across the world the Beatles came up with a masterpiece and performed it like they were just playing in their back yard like it was no big deal. Haha class.
Cool video, however, there is no "tricky" solo guitar, is as simple as can be and yet it suits the song just perfect. About the "she loves you yeh..." part, the reason why i believe it is john who signs it is because as the part starts you can no longer hear lennon singing "love is all you need" at the back until the she loves you part is over when you can hear him singing again. Great work!
If you listen carefully to the lyrics it really sounds like John writing about himself again. "There's nothing you can do that can't be done. There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung" is his way of saying "get over yourself, John". I've always thought that Paul's proposed song must have been "All Together Now" Simple message and sing-along chorus.
this song makes me extremely happy. it reminds me that there are still good in the world. the end makes me emotional hearing them singing she loves you at the end
I think the song Paul wrote for this was "All Together Now". Simple lyrics about unity. It would have been a good choice but All You Need is Love was the better choice.
It was commissioned for "Our World". And while most of the segments of "Our World" were in black-and-white, it's my understanding that this segment (and segments from Japan, Canada, and the United States) were broadcast in colo(u)r, at least in those countries that had colo(u)r television.
And supposedly, the colo(u)r segment of "Our World" was the first colo(u)r program(me) ever telecast on BBC-2 (BBC-1 was black-and-white until 1969; I believe both BBC networks carried "Our World")
you might notice, when examining the lyrics, that the song is ambiguous. The lyrics can be interpreted as being pessimistic. E.g., 'There's nothing you can say, but you can learn to play the game', or 'Nothing you can make that can't be made No one you can save that can't be saved Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time.' It's very clever ambiguity.
Did you know that the intro was supposed to be Glenn Millers " In the Mood " , but, as there were copyright issues with this, it was swiftly changed and this was told by the late Brian Matthew who was a Beatles expert and friend.
I’ve always felt that the descending horn riff played after the line “all you need is love” was mildly sarcastic, in a sense. Along the lines of that Lennon quote mentioned in the video- a sort of tacit critique on those who superficially call for love but don’t quite practice any sort of loving nature. Could just be my imagination though haha
Check this out...( Been wanting to reveal this for years) in the Indian/Hindi mythology, the # 104 is sacred ( don't know why). Now words repeated ( like mantra's) have more power, and repeating powerful words, like say LOVE, create the energy of the words repeated. Now what if, because of your exposure to Indian culture, ( bigger in England because of its connection from it's colonization of india )you knew this, and thought...love is a sacred word. 104 times is a sacred number. What if we repeated the word love 104 times. And immediately after having this thought I put on this very song and started counting and guess what....NO SHIT, they say the word love 104 times!!!! and in the outro they really pile it on ( " she loves you yeah, yeah yeah) like there trying to fit them all in and right as it reaches 104 they fade quickly. So my question if I ever meet Sir Paul or Mr Starkey is, there is no way it's a coincidence, who's idea was it and who else knew and who else, ( with enough background in Hindi culture) figured this out. ( Am I the only one?) Don't believe me, try it, mind blowing ( but you had to know the importance of #104)
Great song ... very positive and upbeat ... now, I know a lot of people are going to be up in arms about my next statement, but here goes ... if you listen closely to the horns on the chorus part of the song , it sounds as if they are mocking the idea ... "All you need is love" wa,wa,wawa,wa ... etc... John had some great ideas, but he also had a cynical side and I think this is an example ...
03:33 « She loves you » at the end: Paul or John ? There is no argue here: definitely John, both times! All my Life I also thought it was Paul. But also seeing the video many years ago I saw that John was actually singing it. And you can hear with the tone of his voice and by the proximity of the microphone that he sings it both times while the other two sing the chorus behind. BTW: 1. It’s even more clear when you listen to the isolated vocals : ua-cam.com/video/ej9ix19EpP0/v-deo.html 2. And the definite proof is here, you can see and hear John singing it during the rehearsal, so it was not an improv at all ;) ua-cam.com/video/D4zS2biDur8/v-deo.html
Beautiful video, thanks for posting it. I always thought the song was played live. Did I misunderstand or was the song recorded and then transmitted later?
Alex 080267 - No, it was played live. But a few hours after it broadcast, George Martin took the audio of the broadcast and edited it to create the single that was then sent out for radio airplay and sold on vinyl. EDIT: Hope that made sense. Cheers.
4 роки тому
The bass, and George Harrison Guitar was live. John and Paul voice where live; some orchestra was live; Ringo drums was pre-recorded; general chorus was pre-recorded.
David Lee Andrews - I remember them from my much younger self! A teacher of mine turned me on to Monty Python back in HS and I loved Eric Idle so much I became intrigued w/his Rutles persona. And it was pretty cool that George Harrison appeared in their mockumentary, *All You Need is Cash* way back in the 70’s. Too fun! Maybe on April 1st next year. LOL.
People also thought that the Bee Gees and Bagfinger were the Beatles at different times, and that was while the Beatles were still a group, but not producing as much as they had in their early years.
So simple, yet extremely emotionally intelligent. Its theme and message still holds true even to this day. If you guys could check out my Beatle covers, it would mean the absolute world to me! I try to make them as accurate as humanly possible!
Thanks for all the infos and the nice video. The lyrics are actually not so simple, quite ambiguous: "There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done" etc - does that mean you're capable of achieving anything you want to or does it mean you can't do anything somebody else could also do ...? So ist it a self empowering you can do it message? Or a rather self comforting message a la don't worry, don't try too hard, you can't do anything that somebody else wouldn't be able to do anyway?
especially with the recent revelation that it was a message to Paul, it's time to spread your "Wings" and fly, don't let "Another Day" go by, "My Love", it'll be just like starting over.
Well, I imagine because "AYNIL" was written by Lennon and McCartney, by Lennon "rocked" you addressed the "BYARM" song? Well it is more of a McCartney's composition. Not to mention the crazy hypnotic arrangement, done mostly by McCartney again. If you wanna hear Lennon rocks, listen to "Dr.Robert"(Revolver), or "I Want You"(Abbey Road), or "Yer Blues"(The Beatles).
Enjoy the video!
The HollyHobs I will thank you 🙏

Such a simple thought...but the universal truth...
ALL you NEED....is love.
All you need is a face slap of reality.
Simple messages are the most influential and enduring. They are still ambassadors of peace and love half a century later
Very interesting hearing the whole story about it. Thank you 😊
Did you ever do a video on the beatles early days? Maybe something on the Decca audition or the gigs at star club. Would be super interesting 😊
The "She Loves You yeah yeah yeah" is sung by John and Paul. Check out the analysis in the UA-cam video " The Mystery Singer in All You Need Is Love".

Choosing La Marseillaise for the opening is a very bold and ironic choice as La Marseillaise is basically a very very aggressive war song.
It was originnaly Glenn Millers In the Mood, but legal action was threatened and they were forced to change at the last moment.
Aggresive war song...more like a call to union to me.
Guillermo Garraton not at all. Translate the lyrics, you will see for yourself.
It was btw written in time of war
@@serge_thiriet For me that's what makes the song great: the twist and surprise that the main melody introduce after that uncommon "war" intro

I saw a documentary about how it was written and some guys from another band said you would think the beatles would be very nervous about such a huge event and having to come up with a new song in such a short space of time, but they said Paul and John were very relaxed like they didnt have a care in the world. They kept asking them, have you written a song yet , time is ticking, John and paul were like, theres plenty of time, no rush, we have nearly 2 days.

This song is not about "peace and love", its lyrics are highly phylosophical and even religious, this song is so underestimated and underrated.
this was my favorite beatle song ever!
It's basically a "hippie anthem." I love it.

About the "she loves you yeh..." part, the reason why i believe it is john who signs it is because as the part starts you can no longer hear lennon singing "love is all you need" at the back until the she loves you part is over when you can hear him singing again. Great work!
Why The Beatles Wrote “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
If you listen carefully to the lyrics it really sounds like John writing about himself again. "There's nothing you can do that can't be done. There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung" is his way of saying "get over yourself, John". I've always thought that Paul's proposed song must have been "All Together Now" Simple message and sing-along chorus.
I've often wondered about the transmission. Thanks for this.
this warms my stony heart ...Thankyou!
Choseing the Marseilles as an intro was brilliant idea by George Martin. He should get more credit for that
Where can we hear the unedited live audio of the original broadcast?
I love your vids!!
this song makes me extremely happy. it reminds me that there are still good in the world. the end makes me emotional hearing them singing she loves you at the end
I’ve learnt a few things from this video! Well done!
I think the song Paul wrote for this was "All Together Now". Simple lyrics about unity. It would have been a good choice but All You Need is Love was the better choice.
As a ten year old boy I saw that live broadcast via.. Telstar.on TV in 1967
john was right love is all you need this world would be a better place if people could understand that simple thing love is all you need
It was commissioned for "Our World".
And while most of the segments of "Our World" were in black-and-white, it's my understanding that this segment (and segments from Japan, Canada, and the United States) were broadcast in colo(u)r, at least in those countries that had colo(u)r television.
And supposedly, the colo(u)r segment of "Our World" was the first colo(u)r program(me) ever telecast on BBC-2 (BBC-1 was black-and-white until 1969; I believe both BBC networks carried "Our World")
As far as I am aware it was recorded at EMI Studio 1, not Olympic Studios.
Fantastic overview!!!
you might notice, when examining the lyrics, that the song is ambiguous. The lyrics can be interpreted as being pessimistic. E.g., 'There's nothing you can say, but you can learn to play the game', or 'Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time.'
It's very clever ambiguity.
dsteele27 a free mind knows life is a game, pretty optimistic message to me
John wrote this song in about 15 minutes.
Wow. Sounds possible but source? Or just a guess?
2023: Remember all we need is LOVE ❤️
Great video dude
I was born 2 days after this happened. What a nice vibe
Awesome!
Did you know that the intro was supposed to be Glenn Millers " In the Mood " , but, as there were copyright issues with this, it was swiftly changed and this was told by the late Brian Matthew who was a Beatles expert and friend.
But.... the outro has a bit that I swear sounds like "In the Mood" .
@@fredapeeples6619 definitely
Great work Hobbie. Keep it coming. Thanx. 🍏
why this original recording from 4th June 1967 is no longer available on yt??? Did this creature Y.O. do it to us, fans? really?
"All you need is love, Please. All you need is a foot in the ass." -Red forman
I love this song but I love that joke. Haha😂
I’ve always felt that the descending horn riff played after the line “all you need is love” was mildly sarcastic, in a sense. Along the lines of that Lennon quote mentioned in the video- a sort of tacit critique on those who superficially call for love but don’t quite practice any sort of loving nature. Could just be my imagination though haha
she loves you yeah yeah yeah she loves you yeah yeah yeah
Check this out...( Been wanting to reveal this for years) in the Indian/Hindi mythology, the # 104 is sacred ( don't know why). Now words repeated ( like mantra's) have more power, and repeating powerful words, like say LOVE, create the energy of the words repeated. Now what if, because of your exposure to Indian culture, ( bigger in England because of its connection from it's colonization of india )you knew this, and thought...love is a sacred word. 104 times is a sacred number. What if we repeated the word love 104 times. And immediately after having this thought I put on this very song and started counting and guess what....NO SHIT, they say the word love 104 times!!!! and in the outro they really pile it on ( " she loves you yeah, yeah yeah) like there trying to fit them all in and right as it reaches 104 they fade quickly. So my question if I ever meet Sir Paul or Mr Starkey is, there is no way it's a coincidence, who's idea was it and who else knew and who else, ( with enough background in Hindi culture) figured this out. ( Am I the only one?) Don't believe me, try it, mind blowing ( but you had to know the importance of #104)
There are verses in the song that sound to me like close paraphrasings or summaries of the Bhagavad-Gita.
ALL I'VE EVER MISSED IN LIFE WAS LOVE
Paul has said that the Beatles’ main message is “All You Need Is Love”
Great song ... very positive and upbeat ... now, I know a lot of people are going to be up in arms about my next statement, but here goes ... if you listen closely to the horns on the chorus part of the song , it sounds as if they are mocking the idea ... "All you need is love" wa,wa,wawa,wa ... etc... John had some great ideas, but he also had a cynical side and I think this is an example ...

« She loves you » at the end: Paul or John ? There is no argue here: definitely John, both times!
All my Life I also thought it was Paul. But also seeing the video many years ago I saw that John was actually singing it. And you can hear with the tone of his voice and by the proximity of the microphone that he sings it both times while the other two sing the chorus behind.
BTW:
1. It’s even more clear when you listen to the isolated vocals : ua-cam.com/video/ej9ix19EpP0/v-deo.html
2. And the definite proof is here, you can see and hear John singing it during the rehearsal, so it was not an improv at all ;) ua-cam.com/video/D4zS2biDur8/v-deo.html
All you need is love
A year later we had The Paris riots and The Beatles were singing revolution. Still, the sentiment was good and of course a pretty good song.
Can you do a video on a story behind the song Michelle?
Excellent narrative!
Beautiful video, thanks for posting it. I always thought the song was played live. Did I misunderstand or was the song recorded and then transmitted later?
Alex 080267 - No, it was played live. But a few hours after it broadcast, George Martin took the audio of the broadcast and edited it to create the single that was then sent out for radio airplay and sold on vinyl.
EDIT: Hope that made sense. Cheers.
The bass, and George Harrison Guitar was live. John and Paul voice where live; some orchestra was live; Ringo drums was pre-recorded; general chorus was pre-recorded.
@@tori2dles ok thanks
The ending wasn’t crazy, it was complex but all together, just like the message of the song.
i was about 12 years old and watched it live,
Great video mate. Out of curiosity, have you done one on the Ruttles?
David Lee Andrews - I remember them from my much younger self! A teacher of mine turned me on to Monty Python back in HS and I loved Eric Idle so much I became intrigued w/his Rutles persona. And it was pretty cool that George Harrison appeared in their mockumentary, *All You Need is Cash* way back in the 70’s. Too fun!
Maybe on April 1st next year. LOL.
It was always that way since the beginning of time,up until sometime in the late 80 s.then it became,All you need is cash.
Do a vid on klaatu, the band that people thought were the beatles under a new name, and your thoughts on them, especially on their second album Hope
People also thought that the Bee Gees and Bagfinger were the Beatles at different times, and that was while the Beatles were still a group, but not producing as much as they had in their early years.
So simple, yet extremely emotionally intelligent. Its theme and message still holds true even to this day. If you guys could check out my Beatle covers, it would mean the absolute world to me! I try to make them as accurate as humanly possible!
Very nice job on this video!
Your voice alone is like auditory valium. Just sends me to sleep!!!
The verses in this song seem straight out of the Bhagavad-Gita. Had the Beatles had their “Indian phase” before this song was written?
Thanks for all the infos and the nice video. The lyrics are actually not so simple, quite ambiguous: "There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done" etc - does that mean you're capable of achieving anything you want to or does it mean you can't do anything somebody else could also do ...? So ist it a self empowering you can do it message? Or a rather self comforting message a la don't worry, don't try too hard, you can't do anything that somebody else wouldn't be able to do anyway?
The pinnacle of Western culture IMHO. Thanks for illuminating it for us.
Can you do the story behind "just like started over" by john Lennon
especially with the recent revelation that it was a message to Paul, it's time to spread your "Wings" and fly, don't let "Another Day" go by, "My Love", it'll be just like starting over.
@@soundshaper Brilliant!
I’ve already know the answer and the meaning but y’know I love ur channel.
All You Need is Love on the A-side and Baby you're a rich man on the B-side. John Lennon rocked.
Well, I imagine because "AYNIL" was written by Lennon and McCartney, by Lennon "rocked" you addressed the "BYARM" song? Well it is more of a McCartney's composition. Not to mention the crazy hypnotic arrangement, done mostly by McCartney again. If you wanna hear Lennon rocks, listen to "Dr.Robert"(Revolver), or "I Want You"(Abbey Road), or "Yer Blues"(The Beatles).
