The greatest song ever.
john Lennons voice is on a different level. and Ringo's drumming is off the charts.. what a song!
Spot on - I like the way this guy lets it breath and not stop all the friggin time!!
You must understand, when this dropped in 1967, it was a mind blower for many folks. Nothing really sounded like this in any way, shape or form. This was the Beatles answer to the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album, which floored the Beatles with it's creativity by Brian Wilson.
This was the pinnacle of head trip bizarre by the Beatles, and this lp is consistently ranked at the top or near it on most lists.
It still invokes such strong emotions, as does Pet Sounds. Such incredible works of art.
Every Beatle song is different... that's why they are so amazing
Yes. The Beatles never did the same thing twice.
You're my favourite reviewer, by far. It's not just that you are open minded. It's not just that you let the music play all the way through. It's not just that you know your stuff. And it's not just that you're such a cool dude. You FEEL it man. More power to you
Send him 20 bucks and and he’ll pretend to like Dolly Parton too!
@@richardlacey4923 You're sad
@@ojanymolina4222 and rude too.
Totally agree!
I'm a psychotherapist. I spend all day giving people my undivided attention. You might say I listen as much with my eyes as I do with my ears. There's no pretending here. I wonder why you said that.@@richardlacey4923
That little weird snippet at the end was in the innermost groove of the vinyl, and would just repeat forever until you lifted the needle off the record. Quite possibly the first ever “hidden track.”
I remember it repeating a whole bunch more, maybe on the cd version ?
Yes! Hey Kids! Obsolete word of the day, runoff groove.
@@Nebuloid1 Yes.
This song involves a lot of reference points all under the guise of the "news" John read that day. "He blew his mind out in a car" and "nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords" is a reference to Tara Browne, the Guinness beer heir who died in a car crash at the age of 21; he was a friend of the Beatles and his father was a Peer in the British House of Lords. The "film" about the "English army had just won the war" and how a "crowd of people turned away" is a reference to the movie John was in called How I Won The War that was based on a book It got bad reviews (the crowd turned away) but John "had to look" go to premieres, etc. because he was in it. The part that Paul sings had been a song Paul had been working on but was going nowhere so, somehow, they felt it fit in the middle here. The "four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire" was a story John had read saying that they counted all the potholes in the Lancashire streets and it was so bad, that if they were solid, they'd fill the Albert Hall, which is a theatre used for concerts and performances. The cacophony of musical instruments was achieved by having session musicians come in and play their instruments from the lowest key to the highest key - no sheet music, no other instructions. The orchestra was a bit confused by this request but producer George Martin was able to vaguely explain and it was done. The long piano chord fade out was done by John, Paul, Ringo and roadie Mal Evans sharing three different pianos, with George Martin on a harmonium, and all played an E-major chord simultaneously. The chord was made to ring out for over forty seconds by increasing the recording sound level as the vibration faded out. Towards the end of the chord the recording level was so high that listeners can hear the sounds of the studio, including rustling papers and a squeaking chair. A dog whistle was also added. The UK version had a loop of gibberish with John saying "been so high" with Paul's response of "never could be any other way". The Beatles were avant-garde and were the first to elevate pop music into an art form.
I am glad I read your information first. I was about to break it down for him also. The experimental sounds, looping, backward masking and using the recording devices they had at the time in a different way changed music. They don’t get enough credit for the advancement of sound and and using multiple tracks. So glad you put it more eloquently than I am . ✌️🔥
They were Stockhausen enthusiasts.
Thanks for that fascinating info! I was 15 when this came out and wondered about all these things in the lyrics. Again, thanks.
@@johncorso3721 You're very welcome! I've always loved The Beatles!
Just think how this sounded in 1967! Try Tomorrow never knows, possibly the first psychedelic song. Also try Come Together, Strawberry Fields, Dear Prudence, I’m only sleeping, so many amazing songs!

You can tell this lad just fucking gets it straight off the bat he doesn’t need to stop or talk he’s just listening and gets it. It’s a feast for the ears nobody talks about this just listen
And that is how The Beatles concluded the most revolutionary album ever recorded.
Nice to see you feel the unbelievable, impossible BEAUTY of their melodies and instrumentation.
You know how the very first time you hear a bob marley song it’s SO beautiful it almost seems like it just fell into place? you want to sing along and you CAN the first time you hear it?? That’s genius.
Beatles: same.
Two of the most stunningly beautiful songs in all pop music are: Dear Prudence and Don’t Let Me Down (live rooftop performance) - miraculous.
That final piano chord was done because they wanted to find out how long it would take to fade.
This is what shows up when you look in the dictionary for the definition of masterpiece.
Imagine hearing this for the first time in 1967!? This is arguably their greatest musical achievement, and that's saying a LOT!
The Beatles were way more than a mega-band. They changed the philosophy of our whole generation. Their influence was everywhere, and fans became obsessed with each new record they put out. And their music influenced every band and artist that followed. They didn't just change with the times. They made the times.
This song is a masterpiece and you got to remember they were in their early twenties when they wrote and recorded it
Mid twenties actually ... But your point is very well taken. Cheers.
The last note on the piano is called the "Heaven Note" because it is exactly in the middle of the register. They said they didn't know that when they did it.
Within You Without You opened side two of the album and A Day In the Life concluded the side.
The people who listened to this in 1967,( I'm one of them, ) were blown away!
Absolute genius btw this song and album. Changed music. The way it was recorded and the way it was composed and played.
Can suggest a documentary about the making of this album if you want... Seriously, it's so hard to fathom just how groundbreaking this was.
sorry to break your heart
ua-cam.com/video/vbHMgqHtAy0/v-deo.html
As a newly turned 10-year old I laid sprawled on the floor that Feb 9, 1964 watching Ed Sullivan and having no clue what "Beatles" were. My life changed that day and it does my heart good to see newer generations enjoy the rock music I cut my teeth on. Cheers....
Each album is f'n genius
The greatest Band of all time.
Without question.
All others were inspired or influenced by them.
8 years....
Know your musical history.
✌️❤️
We were trippin so hard in those days we'd have to run outside and catch our breath after hearing them. Hahaha. Peace and love from Earth.
St John of the Beatles. He did so much to change the world and work for Peace and was asassinated. Cant help thinking what he might have done had he lived.
Yeah, and what if the Beatles stayed together and none of them died ?!!!they would be the pinnacle of music today!!!!
Beatles A-Z, you can never go wrong.
The Beatles’ recording engineer, George Martin, became increasingly crucial to their sound as they very swiftly started expanding what they were creating, and this song clearly shows that.
That last bit of noise, when played on vinyl, doesn't stop until you lift the needle. The album was custom cut so that it would play the last groove over, and over, and over again until you stopped it.
I will try NOW
Now I wish I had the vinyl maybe I have it somewhere in the garage. I just need a record player now.
I had the first press/ first release/original 1967 vinyl and I played it a million times: mine absolutely positively did not have that noise/voices after the fade-out piano chord.
If you would like to hear the universally regarded most psychedelic Beatles song, and I know you would, that would be Tomorrow Never Knows. Be prepared.
Masterpiece, Paul’s lyrics in the song were from an incomplete song he had, so they stuck his words in the middle of a John song.
Worked out great.
Orchestra Climax was recorded live inside Abbey Road Studio..
The Beatles have been my favorite band since I was 4; that was 1965.
Listening to the full ending like that makes you start really thinking about the whole song...
No one did it better than The Beatles. They were so eclectic… that’s why they’re the best-selling group of all time. Wish I had been alive at the time.
As a very young child at the time I just loved the sound, the feel and the delightfulness of their music. When I was a teenager in the mid/late 70s and early 80s that I truly appreciated their true genius. I was only 4 when Sgt.Pepper came out and I was mesmerized. Abby Road with songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopuses Garden were indescribably delightful to me ... As they are today. Who writes a bouncy, fun tune with lyrics about a serial killer who the people demanded go free? Only The Beatles would have even thought of such a quirky juxtapostioning.
@@briandonovan1584 Yes!!
Beatles - Tomorrow never knows, Strawberry fields forever, I am the walrus, Something, She is so heavy
I can never believe people who say they don't like The Beatles, they did everything and changed the face of music in every way possible.
The Beatles' greatest recording.
One of the top 10 greatest rock songs ever recorded.
Not blocked yet..
Great break into the second half....
Ringo's drumming is on point throughout.
Incredible.
That rising pitch you hear in the middle and end of the song are Sheppard tones. They sound like they are increasing in frequency but actually they're not going anywhere.
The Beatles. As writers and innovators they have no equals.
When we 16 kids first heard this in the 60's we had no idea what we were listening to. We were left in awe. All we knew is what we were listening to was a masterwork.
So melancholic, this song.
Imagine being a teenage girl during the 60’s and 70’s. Every week new sounds on the radio. My very first album was Meet The Beatles. My little sister gave it to me for Christmas that year. My favorite album has always been Revolver. You should check out “Norwegian Wood” 🔥👵🏼☮️❤️🙏🏼
I was 13 in 1972. I used my little portable cassette recorder to record this album. I listened to it ever night when I went to bed.
Sheeringly Brilliant !!
I was 14 years old when that album came out. It really changed my life. The Beatles made it feel like anything is possible.
I think the john part at the beginning is a dream. After the alarm goes off, the person wakes up from the dream and gets to school. Once at school, they start daydreaming and it's back to John's voice.
The “aaah” daydream segment is sung by McCartney.
Really enjoy your take on things. You look as if you're really letting the music flow through you rather than jumping to conclusions based on a knee-jerk reaction. Sometimes you have to let the music sit with you for a while and then respond to it. It's like a painting. You don't just look at the nose on a portrait and decide whether you like the nose or not. You take in the painting from different angles and perspectives, then figure out if or how it speaks to you. Keep going! The Beatles will surprise and amaze you at least 150 more times. They were endlessly inventive. The Beach Boys are another group that stretched the boundaries of pop music. Ignore the name -- Brian Wilson was probably the greatest American songwriter/producer/arranger we've had in 70 years.
KUDOS! Your stock just went up substantially for letting that final chord complete its' fade! The thing about that is that normally, a piano with the sustain pedal fully depressed and held can only be heard for around 36 seconds. This final chord was held for around 47 seconds if I recall correctly. How they pulled it off was pure genius! Remember, they didn't have digital equipment back then, everything was analog.
Again, thank you for letting it play out!
Still the top selling musicians of all time.
Good to see your generation listening to the best of the best. That's who these guys were.
you waited on that long sustain at the end . They kept cranking the gain on that .The subtle harmonics and waver changed everything . A turning point in recording for the greatest album ever
Been watchin' you for a while and I've gotta say, you've got a good ear for quality and an unbiased appreciation for art.
Zeppelin is my favorite band, I know and dig your many reactions to them. But The Beatles are unbelievably , legendarily amazingly good. SO many worthy songs of theirs waiting to be discovered by you! Eleanor Rigby, HELP!, Glass Onion, Magical Mystery Tour are just four totally random ones that entered my mond just now. Like Zeppelin, they hardly EVER miss! Keep up the sweet work!
Amazing as after all these years the Beatles can still really turn you on!!!!!
Had this gem in the day! Yep, BRILLIANT !
Pope, that was cool! The Beatles are the preeminent Rock/Pop band of the 20th century and perhaps for all time. Between late-1962 and 1970, the covered A LOT of ground, musically. They werre never satisfied to stay in one place for long, in terms of song writing. And, THEY ROCKED!! They knew how to throw down, whether they were doing classic Rock send ups -- covering songs from Little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Shirelles, Buddy Holly and others -- or Liverpool-Pop or Wall-of-Sound Arena Beatlemania hits or Psychedelia Pop or Bluesy-Rock stompers! They covered every kind of music! Please check out more Beatles! They were a legitimate phenomenon!

Love this album. Must have listened to it 100 times as a teenager in 1981. It drove my sister crazy hearing it so many times 🤪😜
I listened to 100 times in 1967!
Ditto, but in 1967
I've never heard this level of detail in the song before. Going to check out that super deluxe edition.
Yippee! Beatles! They started it all!
Freaking genius Beatles
Thank you for getting this through the censors. There are many more holes through the Albert Hall than are imagined
Its nice to have an open Mind. I was there As youth. They were part of changing the Music Modern World as we know it today. This was Awesome.
Dude the Beatles define music! Start at the beginning and see
Every Beatles song has a different vibe from their early songs which tended to be more pop style and short for radio play to their later, more psychedelic songs which tended to be longer and stranger. There are a lot of gems in their catalog though.
Nice reaction. You are right in that they were a “mega band”. Probably the overall most influential band in music history. It’s not just the songs of which there are so many great ones in the Beatles catalogue- it’s the innovative way they were recorded. New techniques were pioneered by them. The limits of their musical curiosity knew no boundaries. They were endlessly innovative. Their chord structures and melody’s were just fantastic. A great many of the musicians who followed them were influenced by them like no other.
This is my all-time favorite song. Love to see the younger Generations learning about The Beatles like I did through my dad
The GOATS on fire !!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best albums .. just takes me back to my teen years.
In 1967, there was nothing like this out there. When this album was released, they received praise from other artist from around the world. This album changed everything. The crazy thing.... This song, along with the rest of the album, was all recorded on FOUR TRACKS!!!!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening to the whole song before commenting. Respect.
Excellent reaction , young man! I purchased this album in 1968 as a teenager, elated to see your opinion!
Greatest band ever, the future will show that to you young ones😂
Great reaction
another masterpiece for the ages
I saw a Paul McCartney show a couple of years ago where he did this song. When it came to the line "Looking up I noticed I was late" 20,000 people at the show all did the huffing sound. Magic moment lol
Hey Pope, The Beatles were trailblazers. Think about what a departure this is from," l Want to Hand Your Hand". Intellectually, they were foundational to prog rock.
Try to comprehend that this was recorded using 4 track recording techniques. That blows my mind.
Hey!! Congrats on 10K!! You da man Pope!! Beatles, constantly changing.
👍❤🤙
At last a reaction where they don’t stop it during the actual song!
Hell yeah pope. Here is another iconic band from England bro. A ton of tunes to listen to. Thx Pope!!! Rock on!!¡
You seem very laid back and open to different types of music .I like that. And when you haven't heard much of the Beatles, jumping into 'A Day in the Life' is a brave move! I enjoyed your reaction and will hit subscribe...
"Never could be any other way" -- That strange bit of laughter at the end contains a dog whistle tone -- 15kHz -- so it might make any dogs within ear shot bark. It was placed on the record in what is called the "run-out groove" or the "lead-out groove" which usually would guide the phonograph to stop playing the record but in this case it would loop over and over as a reminder to get up and turn the record over and play the album again from the beginning. Good on you for not giving up on The Beatles.
The weird sound at the end if turned backwards says “we’ll all be magic supermen”
Congrats on the 10k Pope! Your audience is catching on. I wouldn't change a thing. All the best.
Ringo showing that he IS even the best drummer in the Beatles. Sensational accompaniment.
Yeah best Beatles song ever, IMHO.
The Beatles are the greatest band combine the next 5 best bands ever and they would still be a distant 2nd
**** This song is John finally, coming to grips with Paul's death a few months earlier, (in the fall of 1966), and realizing what a gifted musician Paul (Faul) really is. That is why John asked Faul to write the middle of the song. The entire course of the Beatles changed when the remaining three Beatles agreed to go along with the fantasy that Paul was still alive. Faul (William Shears Campbell), had a band of his own prior to Paul's death call Billy and The Pepper Pots. He had the other three by the short hairs and he knew it and he used his power to take over The Beatles. He was a very skilled musician who brought a wider range to Beatle music. George actually gave the charade away during an interview when he described how Paul became a Beatle. George said "You came later.", referring to Paul. Everyone knows that John and Paul were together and started the Beatles and they in turn asked George to join them. The look on Paul's face when George said that, was reinforcement that George was telling the truth. I know many people still like to hold to the belief that Paul never died and is still the one performing. Unfortunately that just is not true.
Thank you so very much for reacting to one of the greatest song ever recorded. :)
This is as Prog as it comes, and in 1967! One of my faves from the Fab Four.
Man, I am so proud of you not tapping out when the trip got hard.
Loved that you didn't paused the thing at the first f*cking minute, like others reacters do. U got it.
Within you, without you was written by George Harrison, who was the ‘spiritual’ Beatle. He plays the sitar on the song. A Day In The Life is sung by John (beginning and ending) and Paul (middle part).
George's Solo "All things must Pass" was a complete shock, the quiet Beatle was quiet no more. Stunning music he had locked in his mind eye.💙💯
fun fact. All the Beatles played a chord on the piano at the same time at the end there.
Except George, last I checked. When he arrived, John playfully chided him for missing out on the most important overdub the band ever did. XD
@@Wired4Life2 thanks for fixing that. Poor George!!
@@halfalligator6518 Yup, it was John, Paul, Ringo, and roadie Mal Evans on pianos, with producer George Martin on harmonium, all playing E-major at the same time.
The details in Ringo’s drumming are top notch, pure excellence
Greatest song ever made
Awesome reaction.
If you don't get the songs meaning pretty quick, don't worry about it. It was the same for us. We know more now, that's all.
It just sounds good.
😊✌💙
That bit at the end was cut into the runout groove of the vinyl so would play infinitely... nobody did things like the Beatles
