Ringo's drumming on this track is next level. He was shamelessly under-regarded as a rock drummer, but this is right up there with the best of them.
agreed,one of my favorite ringo tracks!
@ James Rowe Ringo was all about good taste first
"Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?"
"He isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles..."
@@paulleach3612 Yes that was circulated. Is there proof ? Who in the Beatles was better ?
@@paulleach3612 John never said that, that was said in 1985 by comedian who was impersonating Lennon, John had already been dead for 5 years. John held Ringo in high regard.
Just imagine listening to this song in January 1967; there was NOTHING else like this on radio. The Beatles were by far the most popular act in music then and instead of the usual thing, they issued this song. The song went to #1 but half the people were scratching their heads, just like you guys. 55 years later, may people still are.
I 1st heard strawberry fields in 1968, I was 9 yrs old & my twin brother bought the album (his 1st album ever) My
favorite tunes on the album were magical mystery tour & baby your a rich man. but my fave beatles album is abbey road.
The song didn't actually get to #1.
Engelbert Humperdinck kept The Beatles from the top spot. Unbelievable really.
I reckon this was the first Beatles single since Love Me Do in 1962 that didnt get to number one - in the UK anyway. It had Penny Lane as the B Side - great songs both. I remember it on Top of the Pops as a 6 year old!
So true.
@@paulmartin7737 There was actually no B side They were both A sides
Jay, when you shook your head and exclaimed, "Oh wow!", I saw my 20-year-old self hearing it on the radio, in 1967, and feeling exactly that. Simply magnificent.
You can hear backwards cymbals and instruments in this. The Beatles were physically taking tapes, cutting them with razors, turning them backwards... like stuff that EDM DJs do on a computer.
People could barely play guitar at the time. It was 1967. They were like 30 years ahead of their time with this stuff. It was unheard of. Its fucking incredible
Love the lyrics. " Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see "
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me. 😊❤️
Such a genius lyrics
The greatest line in rock history.
@@JamesBeam420 Let me take you down.
I always wondered if thats a comment on people being blind to the world around them or a reference to the "eyelid movie" visual hallucinations of LSD when you shut your eyes. maybe both ofc.
Ringo's drumming on this song is just spectacular. It's so deep and grounded even with all the psychedelic tricks swirling around him.
I agree that Ringo's drumming actually made the song into what came to be.
Ringo grounds what could have been a trippy exess and turned it into a classic. I've said it before, I'll say it again: "no Ringo, no Beatles.
Ringo's drumming is so unique. I hear 5 seconds of Ringo's drumming and I already know what song it is. Same with "A Day in the Life" and "Come Together".
Spectacular drumming for sure
Ringo just knows exactly how to play in every part so perfectly like how can you even comprehend that style
Every other band, once they found their sound rode it out as long as they could. The Beatles created a sound, made it great and were wildly successful with it then moved on to something else. They were not afraid to change.
"She's leaving home", a timeless, deep song that has as much meaning and relevance today as it did when released. It is backed by an orchestra.
From Sgt Pepper's - my favorite!!!
One of my favorite songs ever written by humans.
Or how about the whole Sgt Pepper album?
I LOVE that song.
@@SoundlabStudios63 Most definitely! The album stayed on the charts for THREE YEARS!! Who else could do that??😃🎸🎶🎹🎺🎧🎻🎵🎼💖✌🍀
They say imitation is a compliment. The inability to replicate this musical style speaks volumes for the unique gift that was The Beatles.
"Strawberry Fields" was an orphanage in Liverpool, I think. This song is actually put together from two different takes - being recorded in slightly different keys! So George Martin (their producer and recording wizard) had to slow down the speed on the first part of the song, in order for it to match the pitch of the second part. That's why John's voice suddenly changes into a lighter sound color, in the second part of the song. The epilogue is probably just something being played backward. At that time, The Beatles really loved experimenting.
Correct. 100% correct.
The Beatles, at this point in their careers, were THE BEATLES! They could do whatever they wanted…and after Sgt. Pepper’s continued getting experimental…the accomplishments they made in a 7-8 yr span is mind blowing!
You cannot overstate the Beatles’ talent or influence. They were constantly evolving and we were right there with them
The Beatles could do just about anything. Actually they pretty much DID do everything.❤
It was psychedelics it was all the in the hippies and yes a lot of bands in the 60s and 70s most people were high
I was 10 years old when this came out. My older brothers turned me on to the Beatles. My generation was very lucky 🍀
In my opinion, for many reasons, this is the best song of all times. Nothing is real, John discovered it soon.
"I am the Walrus " is over the top different and amazing !!
This is the result of The Beatles putting a stop to touring. They were able to put all of their creative energy into creating new sounds and exploring new forms of music and going deeper into their collective soul.
"living is easy with your eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see"... so true...
The reason John's voice sounds so different is because this is actually 2 different recordings that were spliced together. They were in 2 different keys so producer George Martin speed up the first part slightly & slowed down the 2nd part slightly so the keys would match. It's also the reason why the songs arrangement changes so radically as it progresses from part 1 to part 2.
It would be easy to dismiss this as absolute craziness but in my opinion it is them pushing the boundaries of music. I love it.
I love it also!
The reason John wrote this song was that he and Paul wanted to pay tribute to their home town of Liverpool. Strawberry Fields was a park where John liked to hang out with friends. Paul’s song was called Penny Lane which was the name of the street they used to ride the bus on the way to school.
My favourite Beatles song! It starts off with minimal instruments, then instruments are added each chorus, until it has brass and string instruments. Basically an orchestra. Listen to it again.
Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever is in the running for the strongest double-sided 45rpm singles ever released. Both are masterpieces.
and many of its contenders are also Beatles singles.
Hey Jude / Revolution must also be in the running.
@@piggiebear4358 the quality & variety of their material in such a short time is stunning.
It was also the first double A side so already hitting it out the park the second it was released.
Paperback Writer/Rain is my favorite, but a reminder of how many great songs they released that should have been on the albums rather than merely singles. This decision was by George Martin. Strawberry Fields should have been on Pepper and Rain/Paperback Writer should have been on Revolver…
Written by John Lennon
The song was his commentary on his childhood, with the name taken from playing as a kid on the grounds of an old Orphange named "Strawberry Field". Expressing both his feelings of isolation as a kid, and also the feeling that everything was ok while playing there as an escape. Lennon talked a lot about this song in his 1980 Playboy Interviews.

You beat me to it my friend. Well explained!!
One other comment.
John sings the words: "No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low".
John explained this lyric as expressing his observation growing up that he was always "different" from the others. He saw through or perceived other people's hypocrisy, or falseness, or lies around him when no one else seemed to be able to. And he wondered ... either I must be crazy or I must be much smarter than everyone. So that is his offhanded way of expressing that sense of isolation -- it must be something "high or low".
@@FreeSociety1 Thanks for the explanations! I figured someone in the comments section would offer some enlightenment. I was five when this came out and I always heard it was drug related. He really does capture that dreamlike quality that also works for this kind of childhood memory. Not easy to pull off, which may be why people thought he must have been high when he wrote it. I don’t know that he could have done it stoned. It would probably have been a hot mess. I could be wrong.
Reading your second comment made me wonder what personality type he was. I just looked and many think he was an INFJ, using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. That’s what I suspected, being an INFJ myself. Others disagree but I’m pretty sure he was one of the more rare types, which is why people didn’t understand him. Those types also tend to notice things that others don’t and we’re pretty good at reading people, which is not always appreciated. It does make it hard to figure out ourselves, our families, and the world in general, unless we have a parent or another adult in our lives who is the same or similar and can validate and guide us.
Experimental Beatles, they taught everyone how to think outside the square, think Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and so many more, this is where it started. Also you can realy hear Ringo doing improvisional drumming.
Didn’t start with the Beatles, I saw Pink Floyd early 1967, they were out there for the time
love it or hate it ... the beatles brought it all to light . maybe they all dropped at a certain function and talked about a new wave of music .........john , paul , ringo and george brought it .... we loved it and now we think back and wonder about it .
Nah dude, Pink Floyd had been around for years before this song. This came out the year Syd left Pink Floyd.
Floyd was around in 67' but the psychedelic Beatles started before this album. Tomorrow Never Knows, Fool On A Hill, Rain etc.....
@@jamesfitzgerald6636 This song was recorded in 1966 though
I love the contrast between the mellow music and Ringo's energetic drumming in parts.
"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see" is an amazingly heavy line, and one of my absolute favorites. It was incredibly relevant in 1967, and it is even more relevant in 2022. Think about all the people you see today that make judgements on things they THINK they see or hear. Peace and Love Rob Squad!
The line "No one I think is in my tree. I mean it must be high or low," means that Lennon had known for a long time that he saw things and had thoughts that most of the people around him did not, but he was uncertain if it meant he was smarter than or less smart than most other people. I'll go out on a limb and say "smarter."
Understanding the Beatles in their progression and evolution over their time make better sense than just listening to a song here and there from different years!!
I'm 71, saw them in Atlanta Stadium back when, play all their tunes on guitar now. I really enjoy how you two youngsters react to the boys. We were astonished at the time. You both became certified hippies when you closed your eyes and took the trip with John Lennon to one of his old favorite places. Peace and love from South Florida.
“Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” is another psychedelic masterpiece by The Beatles. ✌️
And I am the Walrus, you can tell that was penned with a lot of help from Lucy 😅
The best I think is the one that they were shy to release - Tomorrow Never Knows ! 🤡
@@Strider_JM Should we tell them who “Lucy” is?😂
OK with you all. But "rain", from my point of view, is the best (and may be the first) lsd song
Listen to Elanore Rigby w/o vocals.....trippy just hearing string instruments 😂
This is one of the many favorites of mine by the Beatles. I'm a HUGE Beatles fan, have been my whole life, at least 50 years
Same here!😊
Awesome song. And let’s not forget the fifth Beatle, producer George Martin who incorporated the diverse orchestral elements owing to his background in classical music. Five brilliant minds.
A lot of people don't notice Lennon's voice sounding a bit different on this song. It's because he recorded it faster and in a slightly higher key and slowed it down, so it's got just enough of an altered, uncanny feel to contribute to the whole effect of the song. It's one of the Beatles' absolute best late '60s counterculture-influenced hits.
I lived through the birth of Beatlemania across the globe and, like most of the teens alive, awaited their next release with a hunger akin to hungry dogs. To follow their growth and maturity in creating new and inventive ways of creating music and sound actually led the world-wide music industry into new, exciting, and creative worlds that have influenced artists over the last 50+ years.
Anyone that didn't grow up with the Beatles probably doesn't realise how progressive they were.
The Drumming on this, is next level. Best way to describe Ringos style of Drumming....falling down a flight of stairs, with style 👌
It taps into some ephemeral feeling about childhood, with notes of melancholy and deep nostalgia, like a half remembered dream.
She said it right it's like a dream state...
Amazing music...
Lennon was king of that.
I remember when it first came out!
It's hard to describe the beatles. You had to be there. They actually changed the culture of the world for the youth. They didn't start the change but we're so influential even bands already in business were in awe, not to mention all the kids that started playing guitars and drums in they're garages. They started as rockers but they're music was so intelligent it raised the level of everybody else. They were a phenomenon.
You two are great music analysts. You really get it. The big thing about the Beatles is their variety of sound. No other band comes close. Did you listen to "A Day in the Life" yet? Mind blowing!
im a Canadian , born in Scotland......... i like watching you 2 enjoy this great music........... and i wish you a great life with your little addition ......i only saw yet baby in 1 video..... cute kid ❤🎉 ( edited for spelling only)
I miss those old days- the Beatles were always there, there was always a new album coming and it was always going to be great! Didn't know how good we had it.
The bottom line is this, where the Beatles went all others followed. Each new Album, each new Single set a direction at that moment in time. No other group/artist has managed to do that so consistently. That's why they really are, without question, the greatest.
Strawberry Field is a Salvation Army property and visitor attraction in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton. It operated as a children's home between 1936 and 2005 and John Lennon played in the grounds as a child
This was the first song recorded after their " Revolver " album. It was so far removed from what was on the charts at the time. They opened another door, ushering in psychedelic music. The video was groundbreaking as well.
I really really love Pink Floyd
Also The Temptations went into their Psychedelic Soul Phase in 1968. The Beatles were big fans of them and sent them a Welcome Telegram when they first went to Europe in 1964.
Revolver had a bit of a psychadelic theme on a few songs, also.
No, it was the first song recorded for Sargent Pepper
I think the Beatles really do offer something for everyone and we all have our unique fav for our own reason. Their catalog is so great and so diverse if you can't find something in there to love you just arent paying attention.
From the greatest club band, to the greatest pop group, to the most prolific songwriters, to the greatest studio band...they just kept growing. The height, width and depth of their catalog is boggling; no one came close. Other bands made entire careers out of moments from the Beatles. Please check out "Dear Prudence"!
They actually recorded two versions of the song and they couldn’t decide which was better so they spliced the two together, hence the rewinds and reverbs, which was cutting edge and something completely unique. Best band ever.❤❤
They were recorded in different keys and tempos. It is by shear luck that slowing down the second part slightly made it fit the key and tempo of the first part.
This is one of my favorite songs. I'm always impressed when someone who may not be a Beatles fan remarks that they like this song. Most underrated, I believe. The recording of this song is a saga done twice at different speeds but somehow edited together. Nice job, George Martin and crew. :) The mellotron played in the intro plays different recorded orchestral instruments from the keyboard. The musician's union tried to sue them! What a song, though!
"A different type of Beatles vibe" - that was the whole thing about the Beatles. A progression of sounds and styles throughout their musical journey that left you hanging on their next release. This variety of music masterpieces will never be repeated.
This is one of my favorite songs by The Beatles and is considered a significant turning point in their career. The backstory to this song is equally phenomenal. The band had decided to no longer perform live about six months before this was released. For The Beatles to deprive the public of no new releases for a period of six full months was unheard of in those days. This got all of the critics abuzzing with many of them declaring that the group was washed up and all of their creative juices had run dry. The Beatles originally wanted to rebut the critics with Sgt Pepper, but they were reluctantly convinced to release this song and Penny Lane as a double A-side single. Needless to say, this blew the critics away. Not only were both songs far beyond their previous recordings, but the physical appearance of the band had changed drastically. The Beatles were now grown men, they were sick of the Beatlemania label and they desperately wanted to leave the 'boy band' days behind them. Now with their music being entirely different than anyone had ever expected, the critics were left stunned and had trouble trying to define them. I trust by now that others in the RSR Family have urged you to view the official music video for both this and Penny Lane. These two songs are credited as being the first ever music videos in that they were produced as stand-alone 'promo films' which were intended to specifically showcase newly released material. They were distributed to the market in lieu of the band having to appear live. Yet again, The Beatles broke the mold in the music industry and left the competition scrambling to catch up.
Why. Why am I not surprised by ANY of this?
Well said.... Cranberry Sauce!
Lennon's Voice is so underrated , so fantastic
It’s such an absolute masterpiece of a song that whisks you away like dandelion tumbling through a breakbeat breeze. And I read the book on this groundbreaking recording sessions in the studio, they turned the recording studio itself into another sentient character, like an instrument in & of itself. I truly believe this was the threshold into modern technological music.
Love your description
Imagine being a teen girl with The Beatles dropping new sounds with every album 👵🏼☮️❤️😂
Why did they add that ending? Because they could baby!! 🫠
The Beatles - A Legendary Group, Love these artist...They take you on their Journey!!!
In June 1967 I was 16, and my pal Larry Marks got me stoned for the first time, on a sunny Sunday. He brought me down from the roof of his apartment building, put headphones on me and put on Sgt. Pepper, which had just been released. "Strawberry Fields Forever" had been the first song recorded for those sessions but went out as a single, with "Penny Lane," so we knew what was coming. But as I listened to Sgt. Pepper that day I felt like I was in a trance. I enjoyed your similar reaction to "Strawberry Fields" and was impressed with your attention to tempo and dynamics, and the wide range of sounds the band came up with. Keep up the good work.
You said it all when you said it's a different Beatles vibe, you never knew what you were going to get off them, which made them the best.
Keep in mind that this is all analog recording... meaning edits, merging of takes, etc. was all done by manually splicing pieces of (audio) tape together. For example, there are some sounds on this track that are actually a cymbal crash played in reverse. So it was recorded normally, then that recording was cut, flipped, and spliced back in manually. The support team behind the Beatles' recordings, especially as their sound evolved, were absolutely key. Sir George Martin and everyone else involved deserve a lot of credit for making such magical music with extremely limited technology compared to what sound engineers have at their disposal today.
The Beatles were all about musical exploration and experimentation. You see how they're always coming up with a different sound, well, in 1968 they really came out with a unique sound, it was dubbed heavy metal, the song, "Helter Skelter", it was definitely ahead of it's time.
The Beatles have their own planet and no other artist is worthy to live there. Even Justin Hayward said it.
I have a picture in front of myself in front of the actual Strawberry Fields in Liverpool England. I am a huge Beatles fan and my Dad took me to England after I graduated college (gift from my Parents). We, of course, went to the birthplace of the Beatles. Love hearing others appreciate the greatness of The Beatles. They were before my time but I love how their music is beloved by all different generations!
The Beatles are the best band in history. Amazing really as they weren't even together that long. The bit at the end "I buried Paul" set up a whole load of conspiracies. Strawberry Fields was a children's home in Liverpool operated by the Salvation Army.
John Lennon himself claimed to have said "Cranberry sauce" but I guess conspiracists will hear what they want to hear.
It was actually called Strawberry Field. No "S" at the end.
I’d put queen over the Beatles
John was saying "cranberry sauce " (it was recorded during the Christmas season). It was looped in at super slow speed.
@@drbannter I put The Beatles over Queen there you it’s a matter of taste….what you prefer.
This song and Tomorrow Never Knows were a turning point in the Beatles music writing. The became ultra creative and very interested in making psychedelic sounds.
I love seeing you both react and having appreciation for the Beatles. Their music is awesome. And both of you are great to listen to your reviews.
One of the watershed moments in psychedelic music.If you notice,John's voice is dubbed over with his own voice and the arrangement is faster paced than the vocals,which they pioneered and almost all after were inspired by,especially Jimi Hendrix.
Strawberry Fields, Raspberry Beret, now all we need is Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino and we have a perfect trifecta!
Tutti Fruiti you forgot that one
This song is often overlooked, but the lyrics, vocals & instrumental are all on point, certainly one of the best songs ever made.
And no matter what song they wrote no matter how
Much or how little, weird, trippy or whatever a there is always a great melody and hook!
Trippin, literally!
At the end of the song, the Beatles sing "cranberry sauce" but many fans believe the Beatles sang "I buried Paul" which was cited by some as an indicator that Paul had expired. This song consists of two versions stitched together, a soft and harder take. An early take with just an acoustic guitar is also terrific. It was released as a single with "Penny Lane", another pop masterpiece. Were the Beatles space aliens?
This was their trippy phase … beautiful and made for listening intently .. still hearing stuff decades later I’d not noticed before 👍🏴
the genius of the Beatles covered every style of music
Lennon's vocal was recorded with the tape running fast so that when played back at normal speed the tonality would be altered, giving his voice a slurred sound.
They always wanted to sound different from song to song. They never disappointed!
Strawberry Fields was a park where John & Paul used to hang out . And about the recording of Strawberry , U must not forget that the Beatles were the kings of dubs & overdubs in studio.
Im a TOTAL BEATLES fan. You can not got wrong reacting to any song! Love ❤️ the music 🎵🎶
I grew up listening to the Beatles and was nine years old when seeing them for the first time on Ed Sullivan. Yes I’m that old. Even at the age of nine they floored me. They will always be the greatest rock band.
I was 15 when they were on Ed Sullivan. Instantly adored them from "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" onwards.
The story behind the making of this recording is fascinating. They actually recorded the song twice in 2 different tempos, 2 different keys and 2 different arrangements. John didn't completely like either of the takes, but he liked certain things about the one, and certain things about the other. So he asked George Martin to take the two and essentially splice them together. Martin said, it wasn't possible because of the tempo and key differences. John said that he was sure George could do it. And sure enough, he figured out a way to manually sync the two different recordings. So you're listening to two different recordings combined to make a single recording. And that's part of what gives it that dreamy quality. That kind of thing is pretty much commonplace now in studios, with all the electronic and techno tools. But they were all flying by the seat of their pants back then, with only their imaginations limiting them. Also, the official video for the song is amazing. It was in 1967, 14 years before the start of MTV, and they were called promotional films back then LOL. I'm guessing this was remastered, because even though it's only in HD, it's sharp and the colors are crisp. ua-cam.com/video/HtUH9z_Oey8/v-deo.html. At the end, after the fadeout/fadein, and before the final fadeout, you can hear a voice saying "Cranberry sauce". For the longest time, it was misheard as "I buried Paul", and was one of the big clues that Paul was dead. This was a famous conspiracy theory, that McCartney had been killed in an auto accident in 1966 and he was secretly replaced with a look-alike/sound-alike named Billy Shears, just like on the Sgt. Pepper album. If you guys haven't delved into that yet, it's an amazing journey down the rabbit hole.
Yessir! All on four tracks!!!!!
@@seansinclair257 Insane. And even more insane, I believe they had to actually press EMI to be able to use their new 8 track equipment during the White Album sessions. I think that not all, but part of that album was done on 8 track, and everything before that album was all 4 track.
@@mikeking7710 Crazy, right?! People have no idea!!
Good camera and good film and good development (and shooting in focus) and you can get ridiculous resolution. It was analog!
Yeap. George Martin had to really work on this song plus Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite.
This is EXACTLY Beatles vibes! This song was released in 1967. They were constantly growing and evolving, so their music is a variety of different styles and sounds. But at that time, their songs always had a quality and style that you always knew it was The Beatles. Great reaction! Thank you!
The instrumentation, choices and arrangements are brilliant’
They were creative geniuses.
No computers to make being creative easy. They had to use their heads to make such beauty.
Mind Blowing album...they were constant innovators. This has always been a favorite song....Long And Winding Road is great too.
I was blessed to be born in 1952, I'm 70 now. But, when the Beatles single, I want to Hold Your Hand, first played on AM Radio, in 1964, I was 12. The previous week, every day it was announced what day and at what time to song will debut. It was a Saturday, at noon. I know it was a Saturday because I was home from school. Well, I was blessed. I had ever Beatle album they've made. It was a wonderful journey for me through the few years they were together. I had Beatle Boots, John Lennon sunglasses, and every Beatle magazine.
Strawberry Fields and A Day in a Life are Beatles Goat songs
You can hear the Beatles leading music into the psychedelic period and they even sound like a progressive rock band in this. Going to India really improved the music.
This was originally recorded in two different musical styles and at different speeds
The Beatles then told their genius recording engineer George Martan to somehow combine the two music tracks. Using some completely analog recording tricks that Martin invented, he did just that. Then, The Beatles dubbed the vocal over it . This is what gives the fished recording its most unusual sound.
BTW, at the very end, barely audible, one of The Beatles said, " I'm very board'. which some misheard to say to say " I buried Paul" which gave rise to the false rumor that Paul was dead .
I believe all the guys and Sir George Martin said it was, “cranberry sauce” just slowed down. It’s on the Beatles Anthology series. :)
@@CBGB_1977
you believe wrong
Particularly, it was John Lennon that was not satisfied with both versions he did. It was really John's song alone, credited to Lennon/McCartney as usual. He discussed it with George Martin and they decided they could combine both takes, and add things. They sure did add things, lol. No one heard "I buried Paul" until some idiot DJ in Detroit in 1969 started all this "Paul is Dead" rumor stuff with alleged clues in their music, and someone decided "I buried Paul" was what was said at the end instead of "I'm very bored.". Ridiculous. Now generations believe all that garbage as fact, what a sad commentary on the gullibility of the masses thanks to the metaverse...
The ending of this song is one of the things that fueled the "Paul is dead" rumors. As it fades out, you can hear a voice that many people thought was saying "I buried Paul." But when asked about it, Lennon said that it was actually "Cranberry sauce," with the tape slowed down. You be the judge.
I just love that Amber closed her eyes and drifted away with the music... The song was inspired about a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool that John knew ... Have you listened to any of the BEATLES Indian inspired songs, John's TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS, from the Revolver, or George's WITHIN YOU, WITHOUT YOU, on St Peppers... plus the B side Baby Your A Rich Man....
The Beatles went through many musical phases during their time together. From songs like 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand,' 'She Was Just Seventeen,' to 'Hard Day's Night,' to 'HELP!' to ' Sergeant Pepper,' and 'Yellow Submarine,' to 'Hey Jude' and 'Let It Be.'
You mean I Saw Her Standing There, not "she was just seventeen".
I stand corrected. Thanks.
They took three different demos, all with different rhythms and keys and found a way to combine/blend them. Amazing and so ahead of their time ❤️😎
The Beatles led the world with their innovations.
" Living is easy with eyes close, nis - understanding all you see" The Mrs gets it.
J, Amber you guys dive deep into every song you react to it is amazing the way you break each song down and your interpretations are pretty much spot on but the reason the Beatles are considered the best is not only their compositions and the use of different instruments and their lyrics but because the Beatles pioneered so many different recording techniques that are used by most artists today: over dubbing, back masking, feedback noises for more Beatles songs, if you haven't already, listen to Revolution, Back in the USSR, Penny Lane, Helter Skelter, I Am The Walrus, Ob-La-Di Ob La Da, With A Little Help From My Friends and so so many other their catalog is endless
Great reaction. Lennon's voice was distorted by speeding up the tape when recording his voice, then when it is played normal speed, his voice sounds deeper. I heard this song when it came out when I was 7. In the station wagon with my Dad. I had never heard anything like it. I asked my Dad who they were, and he said "The Beatles"
In '66 & '67 The Beatles pioneered so much of what would come to be known as psychedelic rock. While in Texas, The Thirteen Floor Elevators had their initial burst of psych rock on their 1st two (and only true studio efforts as a band) albums, The Beatles would use their expansive imaginations, creativity, studio innovations (w/ Martin's production skills), and instrumental options, to take psych to places sonically it had never gone before. Over the course of Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, and Magical Mystery Tour, along with singles, they wrote and recorded a good number of psychedelic songs, which would add on significantly to their already massive influence on other musicians.
The appeal of Ringo's drumming is that he allowed the whole song to breathe. Sometimes less is more.
The Beatles evolved over time. Their debut, second, third and fourth albums were their pop/rock ’n roll albums. Their next two were their songwriter albums (the first where they really got into the art of crafting a song), their next three were sort of their psychedelic phase. Then their final two kinda combined everything.
YES. I've always thought the Beatles had four phases. You've described them perfectly.
Kind of jest, I've also heard their periods described as: first they were a speed band, then a marijuana band, then an LSD band. So for you to say they then "kinda combined everything" made me laugh lol
