I love the way John gives George some songwriting tips: 1. Just keep singing the first thing that comes into your head 2. Don't stop to analyse your lyrics, go back over them later. John reminding George that they're taping everything so that he can listen back later, and that some good lyrics can happen spontaneously.
forestsoceansmusic 1 year ago You are correct John's advice is brilliant. I need to write that down so I can apply it "PEWDIEPIE OUR INSPIRATION" that is the name of my latest UA-cam. Can you after listening (please go listen) determine what Beatles song I used? Please go give it a listen (Thanks!) and let me know. Thanks again!
George was astounded at Paul and John's prolific songwriting, particularly Paul's ability to think up so many beautiful melodies. In the end, George's masterpiece blew away Paul . . . possibly being Paul's favorite song on Abbey Road.
As do we all, Allan - yet with the success of this song, I think we can say George was more than just getting by. It is unlikely the impending release of All Things Must Pass would have been so positively anticipated if George's efforts on Let It Be and particularly Abbey Road had been mediocre. But they weren't - far from it.
Was the opposite. John & Paul got by with a lotta help from George. george was that guy in the background constantly filling in the gaps and keeping it all going. A lot of that 'beatle sound' came from george. then eventually wrote something like their best song - just as they were falling apart. Best song on the LP In other words, you're wrong.
@@ianbartle456 George would have always had an audience. After all, he was a Beatle. And he'd already proved himself worthy, prior to Let It Be and Abbey Road.
John had a great sense of humor that's for sure. Look up the video for a poem he wrote, "Def Ted, Danoota, and Me". You'll see a very young Dudley Moore as the narrator. And, you'll see John riding a bike, and being pushed on a swing.
That was John`s way of just putting in a sort of throw away line in just to fill a space they/he would later change to something that fit better. Like the song Yesterday was originally Scrambled Eggs. It didn't, and wasn't supposed to be that but just a stand-in line till they had a better line to put in later that was more meaningful. Like building a temporary wall so there was something there instead of nothing at all. Great creative technique really.
@@alicecroll3212 We're all still listening to his music. It's doubtful that people will forever stop listening to the Beatles. I mourn that he's gone on, for now. I celebrate knowing that his music will not be forgotten.
you are right. nothing is more beautiful than to have a sketch, a demo, at first, and than build it, embellish it, and nurture it, and experience how it turns into a song eventually. (Although it ‘s also ture that, that the rough demo can have beauty of its own).
You mean he was asked to paint a still of some apples, and by mere improvising he came up with the Last Judgment? That certainly is a funny exercise of thought!
To me, It's more like watching Mr. MaGoo building the Empire State Building. He's taking some cold rivets to the 99th floor to be heated up to weld the I-beams in place for the new floor, and every time he blindly walks off a girder, he steps safely on to a new riser that appears magically where it needs to be to keep him from falling to a horrible death on the sidewalk below. This is the Ruttles at their best. If Patty Boyd inspired the song, he didn't really need to go to India to worship the billion gods and goddesses they have there to be worshipped by the enthusiasts. In my opinion, she was way more attractive than Shiva, Vishnu, Pavoratti, Krishna, Devi or even Rama's wife, abducted by Ravenna. "Something" is the rarest of songs. The more you hear it the better it gets. Every time I play it, I can't wait to hear it again.
One of the great things about hearing these old sessions is how often the Beatles seem to be stabbing around in the dark with absolutely no clear direction, and then - without fail - they arrive at something amazing.
You can hear the excitement in Harrison's voice as he knows he's on to a good song here and he has the attention for once from the ultimate songwriters Lennon and Macca
It seems Mr. Harrison was a bit unlucky that he got sided by two of the best songwriters of that area, why he niggled more than it was justified about his ideas not being accepted. Witness the two are the more prolific songwriters, how natural the harmonies flowed out of Mr. McCartney and the words out of Mr. Lenin.
I don't know. They seem a bit disorganized. UA-cam let's any fool with a computer have a platform. These guys will be lucky if they did anything in music.
It seems like Ringo has figured out the drumming for this song right from the beginning. Damn he was a good freaking drummer for a band like this. No solos, no fills, just a damn good solid beat and tasteful changes.
Ringo is a lefty, but played a right handed drum set up, so everything he did was a little odd, but he is one of the best ever, without a lot of flash...but when he does get flashy, it's great!
I feel warm when george asked paul for his opinion obout the first verse and all of them practice and figure it out together. They sound very happy working together here.
They were proud of George, they knew he had written a truly brilliant timeless song, its a perfect progression, and they were happy for him, and happy to be part of it. John, and Paul both loved George, and this song, and any tension between them melted away when they were helping their friend George with his first masterpiece.its a wonderful thing that this moment was captured on tape.
As a fellow musician, there’s something comforting about realising the Beatles spent plenty of time blundering through songs, trying to find the composition/feel/lyrics that they wanted. I can let go of the illusion that every genius song of theirs arrived fully formed
I totally agree - I get the same satisfaction hearing them feeling around. The only thing is.... Within 12 minutes, they basically have a finished masterpiece - at least from the writing part. Incredible.
"Attracts me like... a cauliflower... a pomegranite... a well used loofa...?" Could have gone anywhere at this stage couldn't it? When you hear the finished version it sounds like it fell out of heaven into George'e lap tied up in ribbon. No trace of the bloody hard grind it took to get there. Fascinating peek into the creative process of the Fab Four... and they really were fabulous weren't they!
yes, and they often all chipped in when writing their songs. Ringo did some of the lyrics for Eleanor Rigby. Strawberry fields was definitely john's work, but strangely it was paul who did that opening line on a mellotron.
Yeah they made it look easy, but it's hard work. Glen Frey said something similar about Jackson Browne, who lived in an upstairs apartment from Glen Frey. Hearing the same or similar verses or lyrics over and over Mr. Frey realized " so that's how it's done" all hard work and staying with it.
j.r. addams. Harrison already had the idea of the song in his head. He was just introducing it to the other's in the group for the first time. I love how each appreciated one another's talent and collaborated on it together.
Yes, he does clearly say that, and the beauty of the chord changes both the verse - and the descending chromatic one in the B section were certainly not just tossed off during the take. He had already crafted the music with the exception of just how the syncopated drum.bass fills would go during the B section - he knew Paul and Ringo would get that nailed when the time came. The lovely attention-grabbing intro doesn't appear to be there yet either. This clip is really all about the lyric - and how George had a sense of his song but was stuck, no doubt infuriatingly, on the second phrase of line 2 in the very first verse! It's interesting that he didn't swap the verses around so he could say he had verse 1 and 2, but was lacking a phrase for the 3rd one. It seems he knew the verses had to flow in this original sequence. From his spiritual disciplines George had clearly learned to be patient - he knew how to wait. So so good to hear the boys all trying to help each other out. Even after all these years this is genuinely inspirational. Time well spent, lads.
George Harrison was finally coming into his own with this one. Sometimes I wonder if he was inspired or held back working with Lennon and McCartney. Something tells me it was a bit of both.
And here we are ... looking into these illuminated little boxes some 50+ years after the fact .. witnessing the very creation of the otherworldly works of genius which - to this day - continue to be played on whichever device it is we may own. Truly mind blowing .. if .. if .. if .. one really really delves into it.
It's because he was a very good technical drummer. He could pick up timing and beat like very few other drummers. His contribution to the band was very underrated by many people. He was the heart of The Beatles. Charlie Watts is the same with the Stones, all the others have acknowledged his importance. Both learned their craft before coming to their respective bands.
The drumming is one of key elements that make this song so iconic. So many cover versions don't get two things about this song, one is the drumming, the other is George's singing.
Lol. I reckon Macca knew this was the best song on the album so was all like, "I better write the best goddamn baseline I've ever written, steal a lil glory for me self".
@Boodysaspie"...and this political crutch meant the world has never been the same since....". Yes that describes the false apostate religion of catholicism, alright ! No resemblance to true Christianity. Your point is well made. "...and I know that John was murdered by a born-again xtian....". If, as you assert, Lennon's assasin Mark Chapman, was a born again Christian, does that insinuate that all mentally ill killers are Christian too ? Of course not. Religious denomination didn't make him shoot someone, mental illness did. Just like guns don't kill people - the ones that pull the trigger do.
@@tylercampbell6272 i think people misunderstood what I meant by adding the bridge. I meant he added the bassline for it, george said they needed a bass line for it and he complied
Absolutely.. and I hope that Jeff Lynne is involved. He really did Free As A Bird and Real Love justice. I can't find any credit on Get Back however 😕..
I have doubts about that. I mean the plan is to show only 6 hours from the Let It Be sessions. While I (and many others) have already 8 or 9 hours in our collection.
@@Karmakatt6 Perhaps it would unlikely that Jeff Lynne would be involved in new production work with Beatles music from 1969. The songs you mentioned were originally Lennon demos from late 70s with overdubs by Paul, George and Ringo done in the nineties.
They were like how you'd be towards an end of a relationship, whereby one day you wake up loving your partner, then the next you realise you don't really. It's sad, but it's history now.
Yes..it was a conscious decision to record Abbey Road as a band, rather than the individual approach on "let it be'. All of them were unsatisfied with that album, They knew they were about to split up, so Paul suggested they record a last album, working together as a band..and they also bought back George Martin as producer. The result, imo one of the greatest albums not only by the Beatles, but by any band.
After struggling for 6 months to find what it was like, he really needed to flip it to say what it wasn't like. As a programmer, I appreciate how changing your perspective can present a solution.
No Laurent they have not . . .I used one of their songs . . . See my video: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are NOT B1 and they mean Foundational Black America no good.ua-cam.com/video/0i1fekgBW6Q/v-deo.html
The Fact is that the world still needs The Beatles, hence the demand for more material from them. When people talk about Queen, Dylan, The Stones, Beach Boys the Eagles etc they are all fighting for second place and will always be. Nuff said!!
Paul really added so much to this song when it was recorded.."You're asking me will my love grow" you can hear Paul really hit that falsetto in the chorus. Plus, his Bass playing in that song was just incredible and even thought the Beatles, especially George and Paul, were having problems, he really came thru for George !
The original Paul Mc Cartney was gay. That is the reason he was replaced in the Beatles. In 1966 it was not acceptable and would have damaged the image of the legend they had created. He removed himself from public life so he could live the life he wanted and be free from media hounding.
George had that first descending base line after "I don't know" starting on "know" in his head (assuming in C: C B Bb - A Ab G) and Paul essentially got it after a couple of goes. Then, at the end, you could hear Paul on his way to the second one, seeming unprompted (C B A - G E D) and landing on the C to set up the guitar break.
Yes, and his work in Here Comes the Sun really lifts a great tune as well. Both are great songs and still sound played well on solo acoustic guitar. The released tracks are elevated to genius by what Ringo and Paul bring. As ever they really locked in here - and felt their breaks the same way. Lots has been written on the genius of Paul and Ringo as separate instrumentalists, but I'm not sure how many writers have really delved into the uniqueness of the actual combination and how that worked. Because Paul was/became a competent drummer himself there seems to have been always a symbiotic understanding there. I'm not sure Ringo ever learned to play the bass, though I'm prepared to be corrected. I understand he wrote a few songs over the years, but on piano. IF one were to undertake this investigation, it would be a good starting point to acknowledge that they were both left-handed - like so many creatives - while John and George who were joined by their impatience with capitalist crap an pseudo-truth were genuine lifelong seekers of truth. And, like most of us, played right-handed. l always assumed Brian Epstein and George Martin were right handed, but I may be wrong. Whatever, this was a dream team of contributors, no question.
+ Darren Knight The topic was Phil Collins' drumming on "Golden Slumbers" Carry That Weight" and "The End" ua-cam.com/video/SgoQ1gi_7i0/v-deo.html&lc=z12vtluijnfce1hju04cjrdhqkbtwdx5rio.1519491858239803 arkanoiddude 1 month ago Cameron McCaskell Well of course Phil is gonna take liberties with the drums - no offense intended to Ringo (who's drumming fit the Beatles very well), but his technical skills as a drummer pale in comparison to Phil's. Listen to pretty much any drumming Phil did in the 70s and you'll see what I mean. Dallas Brubaker 1 month ago Ringo Starr was on par with any drummer. In other words, anything Phil Collins -- or any drummer -- did, Ringo could also do. arkanoiddude 2 weeks ago (edited) Dallas Brubaker Your comment made me lol. Ringo was fine for the band he was in, but he would never have cut in a more technical band like Genesis. Sorry, but it's the truth. Dallas Brubaker 2 weeks ago LOL...your comment made me LMAO. "Fine for the band he was in"? Listen to his drumming on "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "Rain" -- which he said was his best drumming. He, like the other Beatles, were miles ahead of their time.
Not flashy or technically sophisticated, but if you listen to early Beatles albums, he played every variation of beat you could imagine: Bossa Nova, waltz, samba, four/four, etc. Not a single beat is ever out of place on the Beatles' work. Not one.
Well yeah and not to mention here comes the sun. But now that you mention it, hearing what Paul was singing in this, I’m glad they didn’t included those harmonies in the melody. (Assuming that it was Paul’s idea) They’re all incredible at the end of the day anyway
My favorite song from this amazing band, written and arranged by their brilliantly gifted lead guitarist, George. This is so great to hear. RIP George and John. Peace!
One of the best videos on the Beatles I've seen - so far. Shows how they worked on a song together. I didn't hear any egos. Just the guys working out lines together. Joining in and out, laid back, helping make it the best it can be. No wonder they came up with so many great tunes.
I have always wanted to be a fly on the wall for a Beatles session. This is utterly amazing listening to the progress. I wish I could get film as well. I don't know if anything like this exists. If it does I want to see it so much:)
Yes, where's that wayback machine when you need it? Might be bad though, possible problems with the space-time continuum. Oh, well. Great thought, though!
You can sense Paul's enthusiasm by how much he really wants to work that bass. Ultimately, the song seemed to inspire one of his most melodic and memorable basslines.
I never get tired of hearing their music, their voices, seeing their faces....and I’m 64....I grew up with their music as the soundtrack to my growing up years....I cannot wait for the “Get Back” film next year.......it will please please me.....(a little Liverpudlian humor)......love and peace. Best group ever.
Elvis is an icon even to the Beatles, don’t hate on another artist to big up your favourite, elvis to this day is a big iconic name around the world and unlike the Beatles and Sinatra never toured the world so go figure
It's neat listening to history being made. Being a bug in the wall while 3 of the greatest songwriters in history bounce ideas off one another and the result is maybe the best love song ever written. Thanx for the post
Just casually daydreaming that I walk into the room and suggest "You're asking me will my love grow", only to be proclaimed a genius by all members of the Beatles. God, I should really get back to work.
You just want to build a time machine - go back - stroll in - smugly correct them on the lyrics and thennow you've got them thinking you're a genius pull John over and say "December 8th 1980, don't go straight home after the studio, get on a plane to Barbados"
Might as well give him a picture of Chapman because I wouldn't put it past that fuck to wait outside the Dakota days on end for Lennon to pop his head out.

What I really appreciate so many years later is how they simply hacked a song out, literally writing the song as they played, making it up, singing out of tune, faking the lyrics, guitars out of tune... It's beautiful, it's raw, they're playing, jamming, left/right braining, no AI, no programs, no synths, no machines other than the reel to reel recorder to capture the moment. I loved those days...
This is how timeless music is made! Sifting through endless improvised pieces of ideas. Then accidentally discovering bits that fit so well together. Getting them on tape, reworking, adding more, until you've assembled a masterpiece out of thin air. Pure genius!
@@herrunbekannt3822 Maybe (your)bands but all band now. Not s not a chance. I'm also familiar with modern creation's, much of which is not only not music but definitely not created by pure genius, instruments,. Communication, etc. It's rare to hear something not using autotune. But nothing comes close to the Beatles anyway. Not in our lifetime.
Paul has always composed that way. Beside having dreams of songs. He's oftentimes told the story of Yesterday. First words to the song was actually scrambled eggs not yesterday. And when he composed it he wasn't sure if it came to him or maybe it was part of some other song. He checked with John, George, played and asked if it was familiar. They said no. And then went on to write the most recorded song, over 3000 times, in Music history. These guy's were an amazing gift to the world ✌️🤟☮️🕊️
I was regarding Something as George's masterpiece , but now I think this is the Beatles' masterpiece. And I enjoy playing the guitar solo everyday. Thank you, the Beatles!
Harrison o Beatles mais introspectivo, cuidadoso em suas harmonias elaboradas e sensibilidade!! Além de excelente guitarrista com colocações pontuais a cada nota e sem malabarismo!!! Autêntico e Único!
never did i think back then i would be an old man wistfully remembering the old days and wishing i could relive them...witnessing The Beatles...the soundtrack of my life, probably yours too..what a thrill it was!
Four imperfect beings, demonstrate how music is created with minds, instruments, companionship, with a mix of genius! Creating with a special bond. Impacting Music 🎶 and the world forever. Something, magical brought these four together to create for us all. Everything changed. ☮️🕊️✌️
Isn't it fantastic that we can hear these great songs being formed, remember we now know the end results now but these guys were working blind then, i would love to go back in a time machine and when George was asking what comes after something in the way she moves... I could say attracts me like no other lover but that's what makes these sorts of archives great were watching the very foundations of Beatle music.
No two Beatles love songs are remotely alike. She Loves You. And I Love Her. Yesterday. In My Life. Here, There, Everywhere. Something. All great songs that showcase the Beatles' creativity and originality.
Lennon said just say LIKE A CALIFLOWER and move on until you think of the right words later. WOW. A John Lennon secret! He thinks like a computer but with music.
That's just it, that's why Paul was drawn to Lennon from the park fete when he first saw John creatively ad lib random blues lyrics from other songs because he didn't know the actual lyrics, and Lennon in return was amazed by Paul's ability to play so tightly. John was on a different level, able to say the most abstract things and make it sound epic (glass onion, I am the walrus, everybody's got something to hide etc) while Paul was just gifted with music and then you had Harrison who was secretly blossoming and Ringo who just knew how to jam effortlessly with the lads. An organic band like no other...
Is it John suggesting.....sing 'attracts me like a collie flower until you get the words' ....and when they got the words ,it's 'no other lover' and 'what do you know now mr. show' became....stick around now it may show' ...(awesome)
I love the way John gives George some songwriting tips:

2. Don't stop to analyse your lyrics, go back over them later.

As a fellow musician, there’s something comforting about realising the Beatles spent plenty of time blundering through songs, trying to find the composition/feel/lyrics that they wanted.
I can let go of the illusion that every genius song of theirs arrived fully formed
I totally agree - I get the same satisfaction hearing them feeling around. The only thing is.... Within 12 minutes, they basically have a finished masterpiece - at least from the writing part. Incredible.
I know exactly what you mean. They sound a lot like the rest of us trying to find the right notes and chords.
4231jerome
Yeah. It's hard to imagine them actually having to work at their songs.
4231jerome As a fellow musician to who???
wout69 to the Beatles. Being a fellow just means that you ply the same trade. I'm not putting myself on their level.
"Attracts me like... a cauliflower... a pomegranite... a well used loofa...?" Could have gone anywhere at this stage couldn't it? When you hear the finished version it sounds like it fell out of heaven into George'e lap tied up in ribbon. No trace of the bloody hard grind it took to get there. Fascinating peek into the creative process of the Fab Four... and they really were fabulous weren't they!
Perfectly said. It all comes down to teamwork, I suppose. And in this instance the whole did end up being better than the sum of the parts.
yes, and they often all chipped in when writing their songs. Ringo did some of the lyrics for Eleanor Rigby. Strawberry fields was definitely john's work, but strangely it was paul who did that opening line on a mellotron.
Yeah they made it look easy, but it's hard work. Glen Frey said something similar about Jackson Browne, who lived in an upstairs apartment from Glen Frey. Hearing the same or similar verses or lyrics over and over Mr. Frey realized " so that's how it's done" all hard work and staying with it.
@@swmita WASNT JAMES TAYLOR,,,,,,WAS JACKSON BROWNE. ( TAKE. IT EASY )
@@rosemarie92123 calm down; I fixed it.
This is the actual making of the song. From thin air, into their heads. Fuckin' magic!
j.r. addams. Harrison already had the idea of the song in his head. He was just introducing it to the other's in the group for the first time. I love how each appreciated one another's talent and collaborated on it together.
Well, not thin air, George says he has been working on the song for 6 months already (near the beginning of this clip)
Yes, he does clearly say that, and the beauty of the chord changes both the verse - and the descending chromatic one in the B section were certainly not just tossed off during the take. He had already crafted the music with the exception of just how the syncopated drum.bass fills would go during the B section - he knew Paul and Ringo would get that nailed when the time came. The lovely attention-grabbing intro doesn't appear to be there yet either. This clip is really all about the lyric - and how George had a sense of his song but was stuck, no doubt infuriatingly, on the second phrase of line 2 in the very first verse! It's interesting that he didn't swap the verses around so he could say he had verse 1 and 2, but was lacking a phrase for the 3rd one. It seems he knew the verses had to flow in this original sequence. From his spiritual disciplines George had clearly learned to be patient - he knew how to wait. So so good to hear the boys all trying to help each other out. Even after all these years this is genuinely inspirational. Time well spent, lads.
George Harrison was finally coming into his own with this one. Sometimes I wonder if he was inspired or held back working with Lennon and McCartney. Something tells me it was a bit of both.
And here we are ... looking into these illuminated little boxes some 50+ years after the fact .. witnessing the very creation of the otherworldly works of genius which - to this day - continue to be played on whichever device it is we may own. Truly mind blowing .. if .. if .. if .. one really really delves into it.
There’s a small part of me that wishes he’d gone with “attracts me like a cauliflower”.
or pomegranate LMAO
JL - sage advice as always to George on how to write "Something".
Totally cauliflower
One of the beatles said attracts me like a screwdriver😭
We need someone to make a cover of this using all the rejected lyrics
Just the off-the-cuff harmonizing gives me shivers.
This is so much more of a collaboration than I thought
Yes ❣️
That's the beatles
And yet it ends up being a classic George tune.
That’s why this film is crucial. To look inside a creative process, it takes time. No way it could have been cut for theatrical.
They definitely passed the audition.
Don't fool yourself, these guys will never go far!!! Plus the titanic will never sink.
David Harrison and The Cubs will never win The World Series!
Love it.
But guitar groups are out of style...
- Insane Decca exec
I wonder how .
Everyone trying to catch up to Ringo, seems like he's heard the song before and knows how it should go.
😅😂
It's because he was a very good technical drummer. He could pick up timing and beat like very few other drummers. His contribution to the band was very underrated by many people. He was the heart of The Beatles. Charlie Watts is the same with the Stones, all the others have acknowledged his importance. Both learned their craft before coming to their respective bands.
The drumming is one of key elements that make this song so iconic.
So many cover versions don't get two things about this song, one is the drumming, the other is George's singing.
Paul is an underrated beast on bass. Just pops out a melodic masterpiece in minutes. Hard to believe.
I think when millions and millions and millions of people call something underrated...then it can't be underrated anymore
He is pretty much considered one of the greatest melodic bass players of all time... his bass playing on Abbey Road is astounding
Who on Earth underrates Paul as a bass master? Certainly not many bass players.
Underrated by whom?!? Paul is THE bass player
@@Talisman09 But no one underrates him as far as i know.
Ringo in the background always there always supportive always bang on.
"Screwdriver"
2:43 Oh, don't worry, George. It WILL have a bass line.
THE bass line
Turns out macca made him one of the iconic bassline of all time
Pure greatness
Lol. I reckon Macca knew this was the best song on the album so was all like, "I better write the best goddamn baseline I've ever written, steal a lil glory for me self".
Have read where George was kinda pissed at Paul's bass at first. Thought it was too "busy". One of my fave Beatles songs EVERRRRRR!! RIP George.
GENIUSES AT WORK!!! A gift from the God to this planet!!!
Elkhan - All talent is from God. Glad you recognise this too !
@Boodysaspie Nothing or nobody is bigger than Jesus. That statement of Lennon's was not taken in context. He explained it.
@Boodysaspie"...and this political crutch meant the world has never been the same since....".
Yes that describes the false apostate religion of catholicism, alright ! No resemblance to true Christianity. Your point is well made.
"...and I know that John was murdered by a born-again xtian....".
If, as you assert, Lennon's assasin Mark Chapman, was a born again Christian, does that insinuate that all mentally ill killers are Christian too ? Of course not. Religious denomination didn't make him shoot someone, mental illness did. Just like guns don't kill people - the ones that pull the trigger do.
Boodysaspie You’re right - more people have been killed in the name of religion, than for any other reason.
That bass line Paul spits out at 7:23 gives me goosebumps
Sounds so badass
ikr
Gahhhhh, George's alternate high melody/harmony in the beginning is so _good_!! Gives me chills.
Brennan Sullivan i would have loved to hear that alternate version in it's complete form
Yessssss!!!!!!!!!
Wasn't it Paul's voice?
Maria Shelia Putri No it was George's voice
Pretty sure it's paul doing the really high stuff. Like here 5:21
So George came up with the first part, then Paul added the bridge, and everyone played as if they knew the song by heart. God damn the synergy
I don’t think Paul came up with the bridge, where did you hear that? He just came up with the bass line I thought
Where did u hear that?
Bro what? Paul didn't write the bridge. This is 100% George. He's just workshopping his ideas.
@@tylercampbell6272 i think people misunderstood what I meant by adding the bridge. I meant he added the bassline for it, george said they needed a bass line for it and he complied
People misunderstood what you meant by adding a bridge because you didn’t mean he added a bridge yes
5:41 to 5:48 is the best part! John and George singing together

Absolutely.. and I hope that Jeff Lynne is involved. He really did Free As A Bird and Real Love justice. I can't find any credit on Get Back however 😕..
YES Please 🙏❣️
I have doubts about that. I mean the plan is to show only 6 hours from the Let It Be sessions. While I (and many others) have already 8 or 9 hours in our collection.
@@Karmakatt6 Perhaps it would unlikely that Jeff Lynne would be involved in new production work with Beatles music from 1969. The songs you mentioned were originally Lennon demos from late 70s with overdubs by Paul, George and Ringo done in the nineties.
So they WERE a band, even in 1969.
Just about😂
Guess it depends on your point of view...
They were like how you'd be towards an end of a relationship, whereby one day you wake up loving your partner, then the next you realise you don't really. It's sad, but it's history now.
MajorCulturalDivide Yes, they were trying
Yes..it was a conscious decision to record Abbey Road as a band, rather than the individual approach on "let it be'. All of them were unsatisfied with that album, They knew they were about to split up, so Paul suggested they record a last album, working together as a band..and they also bought back George Martin as producer.
The result, imo one of the greatest albums not only by the Beatles, but by any band.
This is very encouraging to me as a songwriter. To know that even the great George Harrison struggled with lyrics sometimes.
We are game to hear your work. Posted on You Tube?
George Harrison constantly struggled with lyrics and music after All Things Must Pass.
@@psmguy63 Y'know, as a screenwriter, hearing those words can be one of the best things to hear. It's good to see people helping others.

The Fact is that the world still needs The Beatles, hence the demand for more material from them. When people talk about Queen, Dylan, The Stones, Beach Boys the Eagles etc they are all fighting for second place and will always be. Nuff said!!
Nigel Pearce agreed! No other band will ever come close! Ever!! :)
you wrote a truth
Pink Floyd are up there beside The Beatles
Total truth
George was certainly in awe, as he said about forming the Traveling Wilburies with Bob, and Bob was equally in awe of George! :)
Paul really added so much to this song when it was recorded.."You're asking me will my love grow" you can hear Paul really hit that falsetto in the chorus. Plus, his Bass playing in that song was just incredible and even thought the Beatles, especially George and Paul, were having problems, he really came thru for George !
The original Paul Mc Cartney was gay. That is the reason he was replaced in the Beatles. In 1966 it was not acceptable and would have damaged the image of the legend they had created. He removed himself from public life so he could live the life he wanted and be free from media hounding.
ashley lovestennis Don't understand that comment, but yeah whatever.
obviously having an identity problem are you?
George had that first descending base line after "I don't know" starting on "know" in his head (assuming in C: C B Bb - A Ab G) and Paul essentially got it after a couple of goes. Then, at the end, you could hear Paul on his way to the second one, seeming unprompted (C B A - G E D) and landing on the C to set up the guitar break.
ashley lovestennis lol you need to grab some sleep or quit drugs, sweetie.
It's so infuriating hearing this knowing all the lyrics. DAMMIT YOU'RE SO CLOSE, THE SONG IS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU
Where did you go, Mr. Show? I don't know, I don't know.
actually it's right in front of you
you are soo right! My exact thoughts!
The Beatles mm
yortzandat Must've been hard writing songs after Paul died, amirite?
Beautiful song by a beautiful man and played by the greatest group of all time!!!!!!
George created a masterpiece. Nice that the rest of the Beatles helped out.
Ringo's drumming is paramount in this effort.
Yes, and his work in Here Comes the Sun really lifts a great tune as well. Both are great songs and still sound played well on solo acoustic guitar. The released tracks are elevated to genius by what Ringo and Paul bring. As ever they really locked in here - and felt their breaks the same way.
Lots has been written on the genius of Paul and Ringo as separate instrumentalists, but I'm not sure how many writers have really delved into the uniqueness of the actual combination and how that worked. Because Paul was/became a competent drummer himself there seems to have been always a symbiotic understanding there. I'm not sure Ringo ever learned to play the bass, though I'm prepared to be corrected. I understand he wrote a few songs over the years, but on piano. IF one were to undertake this investigation, it would be a good starting point to acknowledge that they were both left-handed - like so many creatives - while John and George who were joined by their impatience with capitalist crap an pseudo-truth were genuine lifelong seekers of truth. And, like most of us, played right-handed. l always assumed Brian Epstein and George Martin were right handed, but I may be wrong. Whatever, this was a dream team of contributors, no question.
Ringo is the glue that failed to keep them together.
one of the greatest drummers in history, i'm a pro drummer.

Cameron McCaskell Well of course Phil is gonna take liberties with the drums - no offense intended to Ringo (who's drumming fit the Beatles very well), but his technical skills as a drummer pale in comparison to Phil's. Listen to pretty much any drumming Phil did in the 70s and you'll see what I mean.

LOL...your comment made me LMAO. "Fine for the band he was in"? Listen to his drumming on "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "Rain" -- which he said was his best drumming. He, like the other Beatles, were miles ahead of their time.
Not flashy or technically sophisticated, but if you listen to early Beatles albums, he played every variation of beat you could imagine: Bossa Nova, waltz, samba, four/four, etc. Not a single beat is ever out of place on the Beatles' work. Not one.
john said it was the best song the album. great to listen to the creative process. thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
True, but he's not on the official recording.
Duff Baker he plays the keyboard...
I just wanna yell: "Like no other lover!" Lol
I think he heard you, in a way. In my opinion, George was the best songwriter in the end.
That's debatable for sure. Though with "Something", he makes a solid claim to that honour....
Well yeah and not to mention here comes the sun. But now that you mention it, hearing what Paul was singing in this, I’m glad they didn’t included those harmonies in the melody. (Assuming that it was Paul’s idea) They’re all incredible at the end of the day anyway
@Frank Herrera Settle down Frank.
@Frank Herrera Not necessarily Franky boy, you can Google the word sarcasm too, didn't you know that? Tut tut.
My favorite song from this amazing band, written and arranged by their brilliantly gifted lead guitarist, George. This is so great to hear. RIP George and John. Peace!
One of the best videos on the Beatles I've seen - so far. Shows how they worked on a song together. I didn't hear any egos. Just the guys working out lines together. Joining in and out, laid back, helping make it the best it can be. No wonder they came up with so many great tunes.

What I really appreciate so many years later is how they simply hacked a song out, literally writing the song as they played, making it up, singing out of tune, faking the lyrics, guitars out of tune... It's beautiful, it's raw, they're playing, jamming, left/right braining, no AI, no programs, no synths, no machines other than the reel to reel recorder to capture the moment. I loved those days...
Yes, simple and perfect at the same time..
Actually, thats still the way all bands, I was with, write their songs.
This is how timeless music is made! Sifting through endless improvised pieces of ideas. Then accidentally discovering bits that fit so well together. Getting them on tape, reworking, adding more, until you've assembled a masterpiece out of thin air. Pure genius!
@@herrunbekannt3822 Maybe (your)bands but all band now. Not s not a chance. I'm also familiar with modern creation's, much of which is not only not music but definitely not created by pure genius, instruments,. Communication, etc. It's rare to hear something not using autotune. But nothing comes close to the Beatles anyway. Not in our lifetime.
Paul has always composed that way. Beside having dreams of songs. He's oftentimes told the story of Yesterday. First words to the song was actually scrambled eggs not yesterday. And when he composed it he wasn't sure if it came to him or maybe it was part of some other song. He checked with John, George, played and asked if it was familiar. They said no. And then went on to write the most recorded song, over 3000 times, in Music history. These guy's were an amazing gift to the world ✌️🤟☮️🕊️
Amazingly Ringo's drums hold the whole thing together and are just what he played on the final cut.

That's just it, that's why Paul was drawn to Lennon from the park fete when he first saw John creatively ad lib random blues lyrics from other songs because he didn't know the actual lyrics, and Lennon in return was amazed by Paul's ability to play so tightly. John was on a different level, able to say the most abstract things and make it sound epic (glass onion, I am the walrus, everybody's got something to hide etc) while Paul was just gifted with music and then you had Harrison who was secretly blossoming and Ringo who just knew how to jam effortlessly with the lads. An organic band like no other...

Actually that's our gift, me john and others can agree
@Immanuel Casas Nope, it`s art
Is it John suggesting.....sing 'attracts me like a collie flower until you get the words' ....and when they got the words ,it's 'no other lover' and 'what do you know now mr. show' became....stick around now it may show' ...(awesome)
I think it's "missed the show." Who's Mr. Show?
