A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ UA-cam. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of UA-cam I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on UA-cam won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This UA-cam channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

I'm proud to say that I'm actually from Blackburn, Lancashire. 😁
And we still have many holes in our roads.
😊
Do they still have to count them all?
💜
@@remedy9648 How many potholes now?
@@tonickton probably too many to count!
This song, this album startled the world. Shocked the world. No musician, no band ever did this. Literally, absolutely shocked the planet.
Pet sounds
Other people have experimented. But to make cutting edge experimental music that is understood, embraced and loved by the listening general public like this song, that is unique.
Agree completely! And it stands up just as well today, if not better, when compared to some of what I hear now!! Brilliance!
Was McCartney’s answer to Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds.
@@Jonathan-js3bx Don´t get me wrong, I love the BB and I love Pet Sounds, but A Day In The Life and Sgt. Pepper in general reaches a different dimension. Even Brian Wilson felt that and tried to put the next climax on top of it but unfortunately failed.
I'm 72, just imagine how ground breaking this was to us when it came out. Glad you like it.
I'm 68 ,No kidding !!!So Right
That and the end by the doors
I don't know though because I'm 13
I was 13 in 1964 when I started this, now long, journey...music is my magic!
Just your "what the F* did I just listen to?" face. Welcome to the world of the Beatles. Much love, man.
Wait till this guy discover Pink Floyd albums
Well said
@@carlneoh5843 - his brain will be TOTALLY fried. Welcome to MY music world, so VERY glad you're here!!
the world of drugs
Next: tomorrow never knows.
My favorite Beatles song is the last Beatles song I've heard.
So true.
That's a great way to explain The Beatles and their music.
I see you're speaking words of wisdom.
@@hoppy2829 let it be....
Wait doesn’t that mean every Beatles song is ur favourite *Confused noises*
"What??"
that is exactly what the world said in 1967
See also: 1966's "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Right before saying faaar out!
"WTF" is the term now !🙂
Ladies and Gentlemen the BEATLES
There was before the Beatles then after the Beatles its that simple the greatest to ever do it
One of the most amazing things about A Day in the Life, aside from the song itself, is that they wrote and recorded it only THREE YEARS after I Want to Hold Your Hand, etc. That kind of growth is mind boggling.
4 years....1963/ 1967
Make it 3 and a half
Absolutely right, they learned and evolved so fast. They had George Martin's incredible knowledge to help them. What progress they made! Even in just three years they went from 'Love Me Do' to the sophistication of 'Rubber Soul', that's pretty impressive in itself.
I remember listening to Casey Kasem's Top Ten radio show about the history of the Beatles and hearing how they changed music after smoking marijuana
and I was absolutely shocked.
But then I tried it and now I understand where they were coming from. And as a result I've been a "Pothead" ever since
Exactly what l tried to say.
You honestly are just going to have to take the time to listen to every Beatles song they ever recorded.
You can make it easy there is an album that is only their songs that hit number 1 on the charts, it’s 27 songs
And do it chronologically, to fully appreciate how their music evolved and developed within a short 8-year span.
That's a lot of songs....
I suggested a Beatles week on the last reaction....make that a Beatles MONTH!!! One a day. So much to discover!!
Everybody needs to have that phase. I remember getting into everything Beatles and listening to every album in chronological order repeatedly. Know them inside out, its worth it.
They are the BEST of all time. No question. No one progressed at their rate. They burned briefly with the brightest flame. They built the road for every other band that followed.
That's an opinion, not a fact that they're THE best.
Pink Floyd - fight me!
@@KarmasAbutch The Floyd said the Beatles were the greaatest band ever and their inspiration.Also when driving and they first heard this they had to get off the road because it blew their minds, and it was this song that didi it!
@@bkkersey93 Liking them or not IS an opinion, the FACT that they evolved more than anyone else and thereby changed the world and music, is also a FACT! Fool!
@@vladdrakul7851 Please don't call anybody a fool (unless you're on a hill !) I don't think the Beatles would like that .For my sins I was there at the time .
Who's anyone kidding.
They were/are THE BEST!
The best there ever was. The best there ever will be.
Sorry, Pete.
"I want you (she's so heavy)" is a must listen by the Beatles
YES PLEASE
Yea yes. Please please
Love, love love that one! There's an amazing cover of it by Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel as well: ua-cam.com/video/ib7boYTYN_o/v-deo.html
Sick song
💯🤘🏿💜
"Tomorrow Never Knows".
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I can do without that as well as "Within you and without you" and "Bluejay way"
@@TedSchoenling I love Tomorrow Never Knows, Within You Without You and Blue Jay Way. Oh well, to each their own.
Yes I've been requesting this too!
Great choice. Would love to see that reaction.
Watch the interview with George Martin who says he remembers John singing this like it was yesterday and starts to cry.
Listen to more. Tomorrow never knows what your favorite Beatles song may be. It’s ever changing from day to night.
If you fall in love with it, the best song changes every day
Actually, he probably should listen to Tomorrow Never Knows 🤷The song is beyond great.
Imagine what the reaction of everyone living in 1967 was when this first came out. I remember and it blew all of the our minds!
I was 9 and got an early introduction to the Beatles form my brother. I feel blessed. It blew everything to bits !!!! Kapow, new world !
Did you not notice that the light had changed?
Absolutely. When you think of it in context, 1967, and what else was being produced by others at that time, it's then you can fully appreciate the majestic, innovative, influential, singular power of not only this song but the entire album! Long live their music and their memory!
I love hearing from people who listened to Sgt Pepper when it came out in 67
I was twelve! I can’t imagine a world without the Beatles! Still fresh, still amazing and so privileged to see you hear it for the first time! Thank you for sharing!
There will never be another Beatles. They were the apex.
Agreed. They're timeless. They have been there for good times in my life and for the bad.
The Beatles literally take us on a trip through the wormhole, from one dimension to another. Hope you enjoyed the ride.
I am 67 years old I've listen an followed The Beatles all my life , I remember hearing this for the first time and still brilliant and fresh today
Beatles have been screwing with people’s heads for almost 60 years now. Welcome to the club!
I totally second that🤟😜
It's worth it!
Never been more happy to be screwed
Beatles are the Greatest ever!
Take a yardstick. And imagine each hash mark representing a grouping of good bands starting fromn1961... Up to now... Really good bands and several one hit wonders. And then lay that stick down... And printed in bold letters its entire length, THE BEATLES. That's, what the Beatles are to every band ever! Their influence on music. Song writing and recording / production magic. Thanks to Geoff Emrrich and George Martin
A couple hundred years from now they will be studying The Beatles the way we study Bach or Mozart.
100%
Maybe.........but I have my doubts.Mozart is sublime perfection and Bach is from a different planet.
I don't know why they don't now. Maybe good music like this will open the mind of this generation
In grade school my music teacher did some beatles songs at our fall and spring concerts. We sang maxwells silver hammer with hammer sound effects. We also sang let it be with her playing the piano. Thanks miss lilibridge for showing me the beatles.
@@stimactzedvard7556 wow Maxwell's Silver Hammer is literally about a kid murdering people..even his own teacher 😂 But its still a good tune
After the last chord, there is a dog whistle. Then that loop at the end was on the outer rim of the album that just catches the needle and circulates until you take it off and switch sides or change records on the turntable. They were screwing with people's expectations. It really is the height of creativity and pushing boundries.
My daughter can hear the dog whistle at the end; I never could! We were in the car one day and she was like “what’s that noise?! Aghhh!” I think that proves that everyone takes something new and different from Beatles songs. I love watching people discover their genius.
Actually it's a test tone rather than a dog whistle. For studio tape decks, test tones are used to match levels and calibrate EQ. It was at 15 kHz, if I recall, so it's certainly within the range of human hearing (many writers incorrectly claimed only dogs could hear it). As a kid, I had an American pressing, which omitted the tone and gibberish. When I first got a CD with the tone included, I could clearly hear it and still can. Having been somewhat of an audiophile since my teens, I naturally took care of my hearing through the years.
I listened to the album when it first came out, and for years afterwards, and I don't remember that part being on there. I thought that maybe the Beatles originally wanted it on the song, but then it was cut since it took away from the first "ending", which was already so dramatic. Maybe it changed sides before it was heard, but I can't imagine that I would have overlooked it after decades. Oh well ....
That outer rim fill-in just destroys the magnificent profound excursion of the fade out. Even more useless to include it on a CD since it only applies to the vinyl record design. It was a novel thing to do , but spoils A Day In the Life !
LPs play from the outer rim toward the center, so the end of the song would have been near the center
53 years ago my parents claimed this music would be forgotten by now. We said the Beatles certainly will be remembered - but who knew the Rolling Stones would still be playing? lol
Great music doesn't have a shelf life its not milk, it's art, the Mona Lisa is still popular why would music be any different?
I felt the same way. There were so many other better songs and artists back then that these "mop-heads" as they were called were just unique, that's all; voices and instruments were average joe, nothing special. But they were unique and captured the experimental youths back then. AND they came from overseas, which was new back then, too.
The Stones however should just stick to recording, their live shows have sucked for over 20 years
@@therabbitcanada and yet when they tour they sell out and are the top grossing tour, so obviously you are in the minority in that opinion.
@@andrewft31 nope I know many fans who say the same thing. And the reason why they gross so much? Their tickets are ludicrously priced. I'd rathjer go by number of tickets sold. Money isn't the overall success of a tour, the number of seats they sell is.
I AM THE WALRUS - THE BEATLES. More mind blowing Beatles!
Koo-koo-ka-choob.
Listen to Tears for Fear taking the chord progression and rhythms of 'I am the Walrus' in 'Seeds of Love.' Talk about a hypno trance.
That's was Lennon's reply to the song "Whiter Shade of Pale" ...which was released in early May 1967...Lennon was obsessed with it, and listened to it when stoned .
the one fact that we are still talking about the Beatles 51 years after they broke up is proof in it's self
It will literally take an asteroid to erase Beatles songs from the earth
not really, we’re talking about hitler like 80 years after
*its
@@troyjacobsson9609 Hitler ordered the mass slaughter of Europe's Jewish population. Hitler caused over 40 million deaths by starting WW2. The Beatles made music. There's a difference.
@@JMcCaffery02 no, my point remains the same, just because you talk about something a long time after doesn't mean anything except that the thing is well known
It's not over until the greatest chord in music history ends!
In 1000 years they will still be studying and listening to Beatles songs.
and saying WT F ?
Across the universe - is more mind blowing beatles
This is true. Do across the universe and tomorrow never knows if you haven’t yet
Yep
I love the anthology version
Yes, the original from '68, with George's sitar and the female backing vocals, it's exquisite!
That last bit of weirdness - let me explain what that was.
Back in the day, 1967 to be specific, the only popular medium for recorded music was "records" or what we call vinyl. They were "played", not surprisingly, on a device called a "record player". At the very end of each side of a record was a bit of silence that was called the "run-out groove". This groove allowed the record player to detect that the record had ended and that the needle should lift off the record and return to the "off' position. Got it so far?
"A Day in the Life" is the last song on side B of "Sgt. Peppers". Normally, after the song ended there would be silence and then the record would end. The Beatles thought it would be funny, and a bit startling, to suddenly have a bit of gibberish play before the record player turned off. This was very much like them: they played with everything. That's what you heard: a few seconds of gibberish designed to create exactly the response you had -"WTF".
You're showing your age. You needed a manual turntable to hear the gibberish because some automatic record players would lift the arm off the record before it played the gibberish. I know because mine did.
@@tbolt5883 Exactly!
I also think it was a continuous run-out groove, right? Like, it would loop forever if you let it.
@@AMolePerson Absolutely.
@@AMolePerson Yes, you are correct.
It’s so cool to see someone react to this masterpiece for the first time
A truly master piece..it blew me away when i first listened to it...fantastic..every detail every little sound is amazing
That "transition" is the sound track of your life passing before your eyes/ears.
I was going to say the same thing.
This song is the soundtrack to life.
Yes and turn them means wake them up.
Yup and the double time in the last verse is life feeling like its moving faster in your older years.
They are overwhelmingly the best...all modern music is derived from what these four guys did.
And the magic was in the 4 of them together. Arguably McCartney had the most public success afterward, but none alone possessed that spark that the group displayed on a regular basis.
Classic case of all greater than the sum.
@Tim Snyder Behave, they were great, but that's a hell of a stretch.
@@MrDJROGERS Take it back far enough and it's some caveman that knocked a bone against a rock (Rock N Roll!). But the entire world wasn't running around trying to copy Muddy Waters. He's just part of the chain that goes back through the great influencers. None was more influential than the Beatles. Of course, they were also influenced by others before them, but the brick they put in the wall of modern music is almost the size of the entire wall. No one else can compare.
@@pomx2900 I think Tim means 'all modern popular music'...?
Brian May (of Queen) summed up this view when he said 'The Beatles were our Bible. Musically, they opened all the doors, and we (Queen plus all the other bands that followed) just walked through.'
He went on to say that he thought with the development of technology that occurred after the Beatles, they (Queen) had been able to take some things further, but those doors the Beatles opened up was where it all came from.
Or words to that effect...
The Beatles had 4 front men. All could, and did, their part on lead vocals.
John's voice on this song is simply a masterpiece
The look of total confoundment on your face was priceless.
That little noise at the end was the final groove on the original vinyl record. That very last groove would repeat endlessly unless you picked the needle off the record.
If my understanding is correct, originally that recording in the last groove was available only on albums released in the UK until they started coming out with remastered versions. Back in the day I had both stereo and mono copies of the album and the last groove recording wasn't in either of them.
It supposedly says 'We'll f**k you like Superman' when played backward (which is really forward). [ Having lately listened to it both forward and backward, I can't really hear anything completely coherent either way. Listen for yourself here > ua-cam.com/video/OtzKUl-ObpA/v-deo.html ]
The vocal at the very end, which would repeat until you pulled the needle off of the vinyl record, says "Never to see any other way."
It is a reference to LSD, which had a profound effect on their creativity, their music, and obviously the Sgt Pepper's album.
@@TheScavenger71 I now have an original mono Sgt Pepper and the sound is on it, but it sounds different to the one that is appended to the modern editions.
@@petersilktube Is it on the British Parlophone label?
Brian Wilson after Pet Sounds: "Top that!"
Brian Wilson after his first listen of Sgt Peppers: "Oh shuuuuute!"
Except no. Pet Sounds is far superior. It doesn’t have crap like When I’m 64 or a far too long sitar song that ruins everything.
@@chrisrenoir pet sounds is for people who don’t like drums.
And then he made ‘Smile’. Probably the greatest album ever. Ruined his life.
There's the Beatles and then there is everybody else, even now 50+ years later.
And that....is the greatest song ever put on vinyl.
Great song but greatest ever put to vinyl? It was a great monumental experimental album definitely changed the way things were done. But I don't even think it was the best Beatles album. It was a really good song though.
Ummm...
@@kurtsaxton9665 another Sgt Pepper basher. Following the latest trend I see.
@@mjames4709 hey basher obviously you didn't read my post I said it was a monumental album. Definitely not the greatest album put to vinyl, Rubber sole The White album Abbey Road much more substance and musicianship.
I found the Beatles sgt peppers 1967 vinyl at a thrift shop for 13 bucks
Norwegian wood, Eleanor rigby, something, Michelle, the long and winding road, so many great beatles songs. Enjoy exploring them.
Exploring them is the perfect description!
Rubber Soul, Revolver, St. Peppers, and Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles at their very, very best. After that, with the possible exception of the White Album was, for the most part, going downhill for me.
Strawberry fields!
@@williamosborne6866 Abbey Road is a masterpiece. Its fantastic a level above rubber soul for sure.
Blackbird, Taxman, I'm So Tired, In My Life, Revolution... we are talking about the band that needed two double albums to do their greatest hits collection.
The Beatles changed everything.
Right? Such creativity! Ya man, welcome to rock and roll! 68 years spoken here.
Kudos here not just for the boys but to Sir George Martin and his production. No wonder he was knighted by the Queen!
Martin's orchestral work in the middle is what makes the song.
@@OroborusFMA That’s not Martin’s orchestral work though? It’s McCartney’s. Paul came up with the idea of having each instrument slowly go from their lowest note to their highest, explained it to the very confused orchestra, and then conducted them playing the part. I Am The Walrus’s orchestral arrangement is George Martin’s, however.
@@vKarl7 Yes, Paul had this crazy idea lol Genius!
the 5th Beatle. as important as any other
@@jackoo666 Absolutely, Sir George was a legend!
I'm 64 and and I really enjoy seeing young people hear this for the first time! I read somewhere that those squeeky voices at the end of the song can be played backwards to hear some message, only works on vinyl! You really have to listen to Sgt Peppers from start to finish to really appreciate their genius, this album changed the world of "pop" music.
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
@Jani Buni dang. You got there first..lol
@@marknewman5842 Ha, I think everyone wanted to be the first to reply to this! 😂
That ending wasn't on the original vinyl version of Sgt Pepper that we got in 1967. Looks like it was added in the CD era.
This is one of John and Paul's best songwriting collaborations. John wrote most of the song (the haunting parts he sings), with Paul writing the short, bouncy middle section. Paul suggested the orchestral transitions and the two unforgettable, chaotic orchestral climaxes. Add George Martin's superb production values and Ringo's perfect drumming, and you have one of the greatest rock or pop songs ever.
Yes they had ideas for two songs that came together in this.
Perfect summary
It is so good to see a person reacting to this kind of music that actually can understand its importance. Keep doing what you do man, you're awesome.
There's the Beatles and there's Everything Else. It really is just that.
For a Beatles song with depth of emotion, try “She’s Leaving Home” from this same album. Haunting
I obsessed on this song when I was 18. Summer of 87 and the CD had just come out. Played the whole record tonight after watching this reaction, She's Leaving Home still brings me to tears
.
Yeah i tear up everytime i hear it same with the long and winding road
How it switches from third person point of view, to first person, then back to third person, then to first again is so unique. Besides the beautiful music the narrative is what engages you in the song; beyond brilliant.
Make sure you Do a lyric video
Agree. Best song on the album.
I'm getting chills watching you listen to this masterpiece for the first time. I first heard it as a kid in 1977, & it has been part of my DNA ever since.
I spent the entirety of 1977 baby-sitting and listening to this album on every imaginable type of sound system. DNA indeed.
A Thing that is most underappreciated about this song is Ringo's drumming. Perfectly serves the song.
There is a mix of angst, humanity, resignation and sarcasm in this song. It gets you every time.
Wow! Really beautifully put!
I agree - I have been trying to find words to describe this song for
fifty years
but now I have thanks to you.
The Beatles were deep it’s hard to say what their best song was. So many iconic songs.
No true Beatles fan can have one favorite song. There are too many contenders. It all depends on how I feel at that moment and I still can't avoid then remembering others that are as brilliant or better. A wealth of choices.
Yeah, my favorite Beatles song changes from day to day. Impossible to settle for only one!
This song was about John reading a newspaper and a dream Paul had. While the music is amazing and moving the lyrics were not deep, they just sounded good.
@@StanSwan I said the Beatles are deep not just this particular song
The look on your face says it all! The Beatles were magical! They changed music, they changed the world. You owe it to yourself to dive deep into their music. You’ll never be the same
I don't get how these guys all just came from one random neighborhood in Liverpool. 4 geniuses.
Great reaction man. I've always been fascinated by this song
Helter Skelter by the Beatles to see their diversity and heavy Rock ability
Not to mention it inspired Charles Manson.
One of my favorites of all time.
Sir Paul tried to do a heavy number, but he failed. He is a master of ballads and he should stick with it.
@@manofconstantsorrow definitely not a failure, maybe you just don't like it. Shows how versatile a musician and songwriter he is. Amazing song.
@@ricardofineartist A failure for sure, but that doesn't change the fact, that he's a genius.
I'm into ""Don't let me down" these days.
Try out material world or who can see it by George Harrison
@@Leon-cd1iy I wouldn't agree with that. I go with Give Me Love from that album. But there's a lot of songs that would come before it. Like Don't Let Me Down.
@@debjorgo hey, I’m just recommending some songs to them that they may not have heard of. I’m not trying to compare songs either.
@@Leon-cd1iy No worries. Material World is kind of fun but Who Can See It always seemed like a dirge to me.
@@debjorgo well for me it’s very fresh so I’m sure you can understand what that feeling is like. It’s difficult to find something bad to say about the album as I only just discovered All Things Must Pass and this album
The best song off of the greatest album of all time! Blows your mind every time!
Now, here in 2023, imagine what folks like me (76) went through when we first heard A Day in the Life in May of 1967! Mind-blowingly magnificent. Their talent was exploding so much then that the 'group' couldn't contain them. Like an inflating balloon, eventually it burst. And now...with Now and Then...they've pulled it back together for one last encore and bow. Saying how humbled we all are is so insufficient.
The Beatles!
The Beatles!
The Beatles!
The Beatles!
Also, "Something", sung by George Harrison
My favorite Beatle.
🎸🎤
George was the kind, loving Beatles.
Ranked as the "best love song ever written" by Frank Sinatra....
One of my favourite songs.... Ever
So difficult to choose a favorite Beatles album, much less a favorite song, but “Something” is close to the top for me.
"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"
The two orchestra climaxes in the middle and towards the end is the best definition of "eargasm".
Genius
There are many, myself included, who considers this the greatest of all of their songs. Looking forward to watching this one!!!!
I think you should react to “Eleanor Rigby”
In my opinion if it’s not their best song it’s in the top 3 along with “ a day in life”
Please react to it
I could not agree more. Eleanor Rigby has been my favorite Beatles song for 50 years.
Incidentally, the Beatles themselves played no instruments on Elenore Rigby. I agree, a beatifically orchestrated song.
Strawberry Fields Forever
what about 'for no one' - that song is deep.
@@justme2 Great one.
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS by the beatles. its a must!!
The guitar on that song was played by Eric Clapton, which was a pretty good idea I'd say.
I am so pleased that the Beatles are thrilling another generation. They are still beautiful and still relevent 😍
One of the greatest songs ever written.
The whole album is out of this world, and you can see where Floyd got some of their concepts from.
Imagine being in abbey road studios with this being recorded in one studio and pink floyd doing piper at the gates, in the studio next door
The “aaaaahs” are far superior to Cardi B’s entire discography
It's Paul
@@JuanLopez-ef5pr no
@@arnavtandon2814 you're right. JL. But... what Cardi 2?
@@JuanLopez-ef5pr Both of them sing lead on this song, but the ahhhs after Paul's line "somebody spoke and I went into a dream" are definitely John.
Yeah that ahhh is John 100 %
The final TA DA is all of the Beatles and their right hand man Mal Evans playing a low E chord on 5 pianos brought into the studio with the microphone gain slowly turned up as the notes decay till its silent. If you listen closely you can hear a chair creak when somebody accidently moves. Its brilliant.
This album changed music forever!
The piano crescendo and long fadeout is the greatest ending in rock history.
I think I read somewhere it's the most famous single note in at least contemporary history.
Exactly well said, and if nothing else this puts Sgt Pepper Album as their number 1 album or at least tied with Abbey Road for number 1.
John's voice is hauntingly beautiful
Oh my.....RINGO! Wow. Just amazing. One of the greatest musical drummers ever. And I've heard this song a thousand times. I really like this mans listening and heart hearing as well. Oh and by the way Guinness world record for the longest held note in recorded history. John, Paul and George Martian (If I remember right) hit all 88 keys of the piano at the same time and held the sustain pedal.
Love the way you listened to the whole song then reacted. Great job.
Sgt. Pepper is like "The Wall", It needs to be inhaled in one take
The orchestra was told to go from one octave to another, higher octave to that last high note in whatever way they wished and they created that crescendo you mentioned. No one else, to my knowledge, has ever done that with an orchestra before or since. We always knew when the song was over because our stereo speakers would stop vibrating. :D
I heard that too.
If you listen in headphones (especially if you've got it on CD) at one point near the end of the chord, you can hear a piano bench creak when someone shifts his weight.
I'd also heard that the orchestra musicians were a little taken aback because they weren't provided with a music score. They wanted to see the music they were going to play. The Beatles had to explain to them that they wanted the musicians to start on this note and end on this note but everything in between was to be whatever they wanted the music to be. Basically, it's like a jazz band: Here's the basic structure, now improvise. The resulting sequence is devastating.
Their roadie Mal hit that last piano chord.
@@antarcticorb9197 It wasn't just Mal Evans. John and Ringo were also playing that final E chord.
In 1967 I was 14 and this song blew me away. I'm now 68 and maybe once a year I put on my headphones, close my eyes, and listen to this LP, and it still blows me away.
What I wouldn’t give to listen to every Beatles song again for the first time again ….
Please listen to this whole album in one sitting. It’s a complete masterpiece. Every song flows into the next and this is the last song on the album. It would have had even more impact on you if you had heard the previous songs leading into it.
Yep, the GOAT. Black Sabbath paranoid is up there too, pixies Doolittle, I have a list somewhere. Only a couple dozen complete masterpieces out there; imo.
@@jeremybalsley5765 OK computer or In Rainbows by Radiohead
"A Day in the Life" is regarded by many as the greatest of all Beatles songs. But there are so many *great* ones, that it can be hard to pick just one.
Here, there & everywhere for me
Peppers is the best album
@@3John-Bishop
Most are great, Abbey Road for me, but imo best 3 are Sgt Pepper, Revolver & AR
Hey Bulldog
Just when you think you've chosen your favourite song or your favourite Beatle, you listen to something else and completely change your mind.
The look on his face during the crescendos, priceless
They are the greatest group of all time
The middle orchestra section was Paul’s idea: the first 2 verses were written by John, ( in the key of C) and Paul had an unfinished song he wanted to include (in the key of E). So, they got members of the London Philharmonic (21 pieces, I believe) and told them this: ‘Start at the lowest note of your instrument. You have 20 measures, but your final note must fit in the E major chord. Don’t listen to the person sitting next to you, climb up to that note on your own pace. You have 20 measures.’ They then double tracked it. Brilliant music history!
Its a 40 piece orchestra overdubbed 4 times, the equivalent of 160 players improvising with no written music. Oh boy!
Geniuses
John's piece was in the key of G.
(With all respect)
@@edmundo.anguiano333 You are correct!
Lennon's lyrics actually was him reading the daily newspaper. McCartney contribution about waking up in the morning was the result of a dream he had. George Martin (the engineer/producer) combined the the two. Geniuses doing genius stuff.
This Jay agrees with you. “A Day in the Life.” He falls asleep, has a disturbing dream, wakes up in the morning light and happy, then ends his day by dozing again.
We often apply genius to things that were mostly random. John Lennon hated being asked about these lyrics. He was just like "I just read a fucking newspaper. It had no deep meaning it just sounded good to me. If it gives you some deeper meaning when you listen to it that is fine but I did not put that in there. It was just words that sounded good so we recorded it".
Fans would meet him and say it was like you were speaking right to me. John asked, what song do you mean. They would say, Let it Be. John tells them Paul wrote that and that is him singing. The poor guy looked crushed and was honestly clueless to not know who sings what songs.
There wouldn't be the Beatles without George Martin.
@@christopherdrzik6784 The Beatles also made George Martin famous. Martin was clearly a brilliant guy most of his work was classical music recording and even novelty songs, he work with Peter Sellers is amazing stuff. The Beatles made a lot of people famous and even more rich. George Martin disserved all the praise and financial gains as he helped the Beatles make the studio not just a recording of their amazing early live shows but to make the studio itself a "member" of the group.
He blew his mind out in a Car?
He(Oswald) His(Kennedy)
He hadn't noticed that the lights had changed
(Double crossed)
A crowd of people stood and stared (Dallas)
Nobody knew if he was from the house of Lord's (Ruby)
Only a few songs are just beyond amazing... seems like the Beatles have way more than any other artists.
This song a must listen with headphones song
I love when I see someone appreciates the Beatles 🤩
"Eleanor Rigby" is right up there. They're literally all incredible, though. Whichever one you react to will be a different experience. The Beatles are just amazing like that ;)
You said it right! Love Eleanor Rigby used to listen to the Beatles loads when I was really young as my parents played them in the car over and over - only last few years I've properly re-listened and really appreciate how spellbinding their genius is! check this out if you like late 60's stuff - ua-cam.com/video/6IzhJxdebrc/v-deo.html
i mean the lyrics of this song hit way better tho. eleanor rigby, hey jude, and day tripper have better melodies but their lyrics were not as legendary. they are all boss songs tho
Elena Waechter.... I get the feeling there is some bias there with ur name. But I agree. Its Beautiful.
YOU could go insane trying to figure out all their lyrics
@@akhilshah6508 the lyrics are legendary for eleanor rigby and hey jude lol they're just not multi part rhapsodies.
Day in the Life is three songs mashed together
The Beatles were a force - they literally changed music, and practically over night.
They changed the world. I think mostly for the better, but.....
they changed music overnight in 1964. And then they did it again with Revolver and Sgt Pepper.
Not overnight, but they were a force.
You see how they can go from thier fun lil love songs to some serious mindblowing songs. All four are brilliant in their contribution to each others talent. A truly magical group.
My Mum is 87 years old and will listen to ALL the Beatles songs, as they defined the life she had having us as children at the same time. She loves them.
Please do 'Something', "Help', 'Paperback Writer'.
Nice.
or 'Tomorrow Never Knows'!
It was a partial song by Lennon "I heard the news today" melded with a partial song by Paul "Woke up, fell out of bed". And a lot of orchestration.
Bigger than the sum of its parts.
And great drumming by Ringo. Don't overlook that.
I didn’t see your comment before I made mine. I actually used the word “meld”. Great minds think alike!
One of their best!
The bit at the end is one of the first bonus tracks, and it was found on the inner groove of the Sgt. Pepper's album. They're basically saying "Never could be any other way!"
I was 18 when this came out and can still clearly remember when I first heard the album. There had never been anything quite like it. It was a game changer that took music in a new direction. It's worthwhile to listen to their albums in order to see how they progressed.
I am in that same age range, and I agree. We grabbed each Beatles album as they came out, and spent hours appreciating the music & trying to figure out the meaning of the lyrics. We saw the evolution as it happened, which is a lot different than being able to choose from the entire catalog nowadays. Either way it’s hard to go wrong with any Beatles track, so welcome to the rabbit hole.
Well, Pet Sounds, but SPLHCB was certainly unique and special.
@@ugadawgs1990 Pet Sounds was an amazing album, but it wasn't a big departure from their earlier work. I'm not sure it was that influential for other artists. It came out about a year before Sgt. Pepper. I think much of the appreciation for the album came in later years.
Legend has it that when bbc disc jockey John Peel played it on air for the first time,he broke down.
Good reaction! You caught on to the orchestra crescendo quickly.
Don't see many requests for The Beatles' "Oh, Darling." Paul sings with grit and soul like it's live.
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know, I nearly broke down and cried
I second the request for "Oh, Darling"
Me too. It's a thinly disguised song about when John said he wanted to leave the band. Put Johnny in for Darling and it makes perfect sense.
That is definitely one of Paul’s finest vocal performances. And every time I hear the Eagles’ Christmas song, it reminds me of “Oh Darling”.
I just listened to "Oh Darling" right before watching this video. I actually HAD to listen to it twice!! Great song!
This is what a man's mind looks like when it is completely and utterly blown (away).
And that, friend is A Day In The Life.
The Beatles - The G.O.A.T.
Your facial expressions are amazing, you trying to process what you are hearing is superb. The Beatles are so complex and will never be bettered. Thanks mate your reactions are the best on UA-cam.
