What's good my fellow critics!
I'm just a guy that loves music. As crazy as it sounds, I made this channel with the hopes of making listening to music my full time job all while I discover some incredible music and increase my music IQ. I want to uncover all the greatest artists ever known which also means discovering the greatest artists from other cultures
Other than being a music geek and lover, I don’t have any qualifications or credentials nor am I trying to be a serious critic. The alias CriTiC is a rapper name I came up with as a kid using my initials that ironically fits what I'm trying to pursue now (A reactor / rapper)
Sometimes it'll just be me or I'll be with my girlfriend/best friend, Chey. Initially, I started making reactions by myself but I dragged Chey along in because I knew she'd have some fun and now I can't get her off the channel lol just kidding.

One reason this might sound eerie to you is that, though George Martin did the string arrangements, they were based on a suggestion by Paul because he wanted to get the same percussive string arrangement that was in the film “Psycho”.
Ooo great insight!!
Oh, and you guys have to hear "Paperback Writer"!! It's an amazing Rock tune from Paul! Kicks ass!
In my opinion the perfect popular song. More relevant today than ever. When you get older you will understand.
Great analysis and good questions you are raising, guys! I'm excited for you to discover more of my favorite band!
This song was released on an album in 1966...58 years ago ! Are you letting this sink in ? :)
wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door. I always thought that was referring to a jar of face cream.
Yes, Nivea face cream. My mother always had some
That I am pretty sure is a Lennon line.
@@andrewdoubtfire4700 Paul said that as part of Boy Scouts they used to do errands for old ladies, and then he'd hang around sometimes and listen to their stories, and this one lady kept a jar of face cream by the door that she would put on if she was going out or answering the door. But who knows, things are so intertwined and grey
@@andrewdoubtfire4700 No. Paul's.
Probably haha. Chey was just making a joke. It could be just metaphorical altogether for putting on a metaphorical happy mask that hides her depression
That lower violin sound comes from the Cello instrument (word sounds like "Chello"). It's so cool and, you're right, it really takes the place of what a heavy, electric guitar would do. Killer. By the way, the first verse suggests, to me, that he was due to be married but the Groom didn't show up -- or he left her later, perhaps. Either way, she lost the love of her life and she is morning the happy marriage she never had.
Thank you for clarifying! And I like your interpretation that makes sense too
I wasn't expecting giggling
There was a lot of random imagery in the video
So relevant today, people are more isolated than ever before.
Very true
I can't think of any other pop/rock band that could pull this off! No rock& roll instruments AT ALL! No drums, guitars keyboard, not even a Tamborine!
I'm just been listening to it absolutely fabulous Graham UK 🇬🇧
Cello is the lower-toned string instrument you heard. This was a collab between the Beatles and the London Philharmonic.
My favorite BeaTles album
The song could not be more straightforward - insignificant lonely people die and are not remembered, the end. "[B]uried along her with her name". That's the way the world is, sometimes. Whether or not there's a tragic backstory is beside the point: the song is capturing a moment in the here and now, and it ain't happy. The only positive angle one can glean, with a mighty stretch, is that insignificant lonely people have been sort of memorialized in general by this very song. Paul definitely wrote the first verse, but George came up with "Ah, look at all the lonely people". Ringo made surprising contributions: McKenzie darning his socks (reportedly, Paul loved that bit), and "writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear". Go Ringo. John contributed virtually nothing, though it pains me to report that he tried to claim 50/50 authorship of "Eleanor Rigby" after the Beatles split, despite everyone else's active recollections. John almost never stooped to such pettiness; I think he realized that this song which he never really liked might be immortal, and thus wanted his "cut". Not to worry, McCartney returned the "favor" with "In My Life", another immortal Beatles song he clearly wishes he wrote, but didn't. The real moral: insignificant people may die lonely, but significant people die seething with envy - I'll leave it to the philosophers to decide which is better. Btw, the video has no meaning applied to the song. It's from the cartoon movie "Yellow Submarine" that came out a few years after the song did.
Why is this so sad? World Wars 1 (1914-1918) then 2 (1939-1945) killed many millions from the UK and across Europe. The soldiers were predominantly men. What then of the women folk of that age? As a child, I met these women. By the mid-1960's, they were old.
An excerpt from Virginia Nicholson's book “Singled Out”, page 25: In 1917 the senior mistress of Bournemouth High School for Girls stood up in front of the assembled sixth form (16..18 yo), nearly all of whom were dressed for morning for a member of their family and said to them: _‘I have come to tell you a terrible truth. Only 1 in 10 of you girls can hope to marry. This is not a guess; it is a statistical fact. Nearly all the men who might have married you have been killed. You will have to make your way in the world as best you can - the war has made more openings for women then there were before, but there will still be a lot of prejudice. You will have to fight - you will have to struggle.’_
One of her pupils 17 year old Rosamund Essex was never to forget these words. _‘It was one of the most faithful statements of my life.’_ When Rosamond, who never married, wrote her memoirs 60 years later she accepted that the teacher’s pronouncements had been prophetic: _'How right she was. Only one out of every 10 of my friends has ever married. Quite simply, there was no one available.'_
This is an anti-war song (set in the UK about 1966). The Yellow Submarine movie is about war, showing in Liverpool bombed out buildings, a motor cyclist crying where a house once stood (who died there?) and ladies in a window dressed in a dated manner, keeping each other company.
I lament the empty, often cold lives spent in poverty of - the Casey sisters, the Beales' sisters, the spinster all alone 5 doors away and my mother's other sad friends, who's names I do not know.
thank you for this insight, "Only one out of every 10 of my friends has ever married. Quite simply, there was no one available" this is a thought that never really struck about this time, and I think it should have done, thanks again.
Paperback Writer is great.
I have been listening to this song since it came out. Still haven't quite figured out what it was about (yeah loneliness in part for sure) but being poetic in nature it is open for interpretation. And someone's interpretation will change as they get older and have other life experiences so the words now mean something different. Your discussion was great and I really enjoyed hearing you two talk about this song. Thanks. ☮❤
Just quality.
You guys had the BEST reaction I've seen to the Doors When the Music's Over.Just a reminder. When any song came out before around 1980, the only place you could see accompanying videos was in a movie house. Even VCR wasn't available to.most people before than. M TV changed that somewhat but again that was early 80's. So in the future for older songs for get about any videos cause most of the world never saw them till years later . That will also prevent them being blocked. And when I watch a reaction channel Id rather see someone react to the music like we did early on Yea I'm old .
Hahaha thank you we did a few reactions now to the album with videos but I think people are upset with us giggling at the goofy scenes in this video so we will stop using the videos
Thanks for the comments. Saved me 11 minutes.
Most people who enjoy a video don’t comment. 265 likes and counting compared to the 5 comments of people upset that we laughed during a goofy video
Great reaction and breakdown of the song. Great song aswell
Top selling musicians of all time.
Agree with the previous post.
Too busy watching the video, didn't notice how the strings were used and the music was composed.
Eerie is a good description for the song. However, to get an even deeper taste of the strangeness in the song, I'd recommend listening to the cover recording by the band Vanilla Fudge.
You guys are too busy giggling awayat the video and not listening to the bloody LYRICS!
Its not eerie.... it is SAD, this is about a woman who died alone.
It is about a priest with an empty church.
It is about emptiness and loss.
Never mind..........keep giggling.
@@z0n0ph0ne You can't educate stupid.
The video is goofy so we laughed. We also just came off of Taxman's goofy energy. You went into this video knowing the song's content and that it's a sad song expecting us to cry or something when we didn't know what the song was about. Watch the rest of the video and you'll see we dig into the meaning. I think non genuine reactions you've seen have you expecting something else but we don't pre listen or pre watch over here.
I hope you guys will react to Paperback Writer and Rain which were released as a single at the time Revolver was recorded. At the time, British business practice was not to include songs released as singles on albums. The practice in the US was the opposite.
Rain is my top 5 of Beatles songs. Both Paperback Writer and Rain were groundbreaking & used innovative recording techniques.
Why are you laughing? This is not a funny song.
I think they're laughing for the video
Sadly this generation pays more atention to video clips instead of really hearing the music, they are mesmerized by the edit skill, which a find very superficial...

George Martin is to The Beatles as Teddy Park is to Blackpink. Genius Producers
Haha the 5th member
There's a couple songs that none of the Beatles don't play on. I think they're only McCartney's. But this is one of them
Welcome to another world.
the jar is a metaphor - it is not a mayonnaise jar
lmao
@@CriTiCriTiques fu2
lmao when did we say it was a mayonnaise jar joanne
Thx! I asked many of the same questions y’all asked when this song came out! I was 8 years old then but even then I knew it was a song about sympathy. Woman kept their face in a jar means makeup. A jar of makeup…I think!
I always looked at it as "she put on a happy face" to hide her utter despair.
Enjoying that you're reacting to the Beatles. But do yourself a favor for first time listening, don't pick videos, just listen to the original studio album audio recording. It's worth hearing what the band and producer/engineer felt was the best statement for the recording technology of the day, for that song or album. And in my opinion, videos and music are two art forms that don't really benefit each other when together.
Everybody is up in arms because we laughed at the video which had the bandmates making goofy faces in it lol. We won't watch the videos anymore even though the i'm only sleeping video was spectacular
Live and Let Die is the soundtrack to a 007 Bond movie
Day Tripper was not composed by Paul McCartney it was John Lennon...
Great song. No need for the video, just listen.
Well deduced man and woman.Nicelu done
Thank you sir!
I'd say, this is an odd Beatle song to recommend to young people who don't know them well.
Depends how young. I think teens can enjoy it fine. These two did.
@@stlmopoet Missed the point. Why would anybody recommend something that has to be dealt with?
@@debjorgo I used a bad choice of words. High schoolers are introduced to Shakespeare. I think the Beatles are far more accessible. The reply has been rewritten. ✌️
@@debjorgoYou think this song has to be "dealt with"? Quite the opposite. It's a treat to hear and experience. You just have shitty taste in Beatles songs I guess? Do you think they won't like it because it lacks "rock" instrumentation? So odd.
Young people can, and do, appreciate complex art - all the time, you know.
@@stlmopoet The Beatles are terribly accessible. Sure! I said this was an odd Beatles' song to select. It's the song, not the band I'm questioning.
If you hear a song by a new band, most likely you think that's what the band sounds like. Eleanor Rigby is not at all representative of the Beatles. Of course, the Beatles changed with every new album, but if you hear the somewhat dated early songs like I Saw Her Standing There or She Loves You, at least you know they are a high energy, youthful band, that are worth further listening. If you hear Eleanor Rigby, you might think, "Okay, I get it. This is why they are viewed as a ground-breaking band."
Just my opinion. I just fear some of the younger crowds are going to stall out before they hear the really good stuff.
Check out "A Day In The Life"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you play please Brian May horizon London 1991
There's a couple songs that none of the Beatles don't play on. I think they're only McCartney's. But this is one of them
