Awesome to see u back
@@419HLR I was genuinely worried about him... but I missed his content. I was genuinely so happy to see this.
😅 I’m SO glad you’re okay!
🤗 Happy for the Beatles reaction but mostly just relived you’re all good. 🥳💚😎
Again, please google search Howard Goodall Beatles a Musical Analysis-----40 minutes in, he breaks down Tomorrow Never Knows. You will be blown away!! I guarantee it!
For No One is one of the most beautiful songs The Beatles ever wrote, idk why it is so rarely mentioned.
Probably the best McCartney song . . . better than Yesterday for sure.
Incredible song. No words.
@@tommyzai7038 They are a great pairing.
what do you mean, i hear it as one of the most popular "underrated" tracks
For No One is among the best lyrics ever written in popular music over the last 100 years..
The fact that "Tomorrow never knows" was recorded and released in 1966 still shocks me.
It’s really unbelievable. Couple that with their progression in only 3 years from Please Please Me.
Agree. It does seem way ahead of its time. It's brilliant.
What REALLY blows my mind is, it was the first track they recorded for Revolver!
i dont believe that. I sure they use time machine
That was the first EDM-style track. The Beatles invested the genre . . . along with other genres.
The thing I am most impressed about with you, Darius, is how you are able to process in REAL TIME what has taken the rest of us a LIFETIME to understand. And that is that this music is special with all its nuances, intricacies, and amazing sounds.
Yes, he's great at that, as is Crystal Shannon, another very perceptive reactor out there. Her review of how gobsmacked she was by Abbey Road, for ex., should have any Beatles fan going "OMG, why didn't **I** think of that?" LOL. Ditto for some of her reactions to The Who and Zeppelin! And, also like our friend Dariius, a fair amount of time can pass between her dropping videos, which can be frustrating, yes (tho it IS, of course, THEIR time), but makes the arrival all the sweeter, like Revolver here!
@@joescott8877 Oh I remember watching her videos in like 2022 when she did her Beatles reactions! Never kept up with the earlier albums reactions and afterwards though
@@althealligator1467 Yeah, she just did Paul's "Venus & Mars" solo album, and is almost done with her "Zepathon" (she's on "Presence" next) I wish she had a pateron like Dariius, so we could check out her longer reactions (not that I've done that with ANY reactor, lol, but I still might, heh), but yeah she can go months without a new vid, but she does, as you allude to, have a decent back catalogue. She makes really sharp comments sometimes, and gives us little lessons on what minor chords are and how they work, she loves her some minor musical chords, lol.
haha not a lifetime. he ain’t even appreciating all the songs fam
That's a beautiful comment!
When I got married, I walked down the aisle, we played an orchestral version of “Here, There and Everywhere”.
Our first dance was to “I Will”.
This was their biggest leap as musicians. Easily. Still blows my mind away.
happy to see you here Isaac! Revolver was certainly the perfect title of this album, I walked away with my mind completely blown
Your reactions are the best on UA-cam for 3 reasons:
1) You are honest about the songs you like and the songs you don't like. Most reaction video creators pretend to like every song.
2) You react to both the music and the lyrics.
3) You share how the song relates to your life.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Eleanor rigby is about all of the people who are forgotten to time; Eleanor Rigby waiting for a lover; Father McKenzie preaching to nobody; and Eleanor Rigby passing away while nobody cares
Literally the perfect piece of music. I knew it was dark lyrically but sheesh..
@@lifeofdariius Good Reaction,My Friend from London.
The year was 1965/66 and I was walking with my Parents past a caravan site in Kent,50 miles from South London and the radio played this and I still remember that first time that I heard it,59 years later:)
They began as the world's biggest touring band for teenage girls, got bored with that, stopped touring, and became an experimental psychedelic band, then got board with that and became a mature rock band, and finally got bored with that and on their last album laid down a sonic template for the 1970s and broke up.
They began by playing 12hrs a night for the crims, whores & existentialists of Hamburg's red light district.
Well said. That about sums it all up in one sentence.
Yes for sure artistic progress was their antidote to stagnation and boredom and we all gained as a result.
Two caveats though - one was that, while of course their musical sophistication grew as they progressed even the early work had great originality. The second was that it seems that right up to the end another spur was competition both from other bands (they seemed acutely aware of what others were doing) and within the band (mainly between John and Paul - the dynamic with George was somewhat more complicated as is well known.)
“They began…touring band for teenage girls.” Nope. That’s not what it was. You really think Beatlemania-a worldwide phenomenon-was just teenage girls? Not the way it was. To put it in one sentence: with all the “girls” in cavern club seats there were guys lining the walls…there for it all.
No. They began a few school friends that morphed into teenage John, Paul, George, and Stuart with different drummers or none. They lucked out to go to the reddest red light gangster port town of post-war Germany playing 12-hour shifts at the sleaziest club on the street, The Indra Club, before moving to the next sleaziest, The Kaiserkeller. They persuaded Pete to go with them as drummer. George was underage. Stuart fell in love with Astrid and left the group to further his brilliant fine art studies. As teens, they learned very fast to entertain tooled up adult gangsters and prostitutes for 4 hours with a short break in between. Stuart died soon after of a brain bleed possbily the result of a beating after a gig in Liverpool but a gang of teddy boys. They were the hardest, toughest garage punky band that ever existed... as teenagers. When they returned to Liverpool, they had transformed from kids messing about to something very different and very tough.
When it all looked like they couldn't take it any further, Brian Epstein, a local record store owner-manager, became their manager. He persuaded them to smarten up and soften their show to appeal to a wider audience than thrill seekers and real hard men. They had two eras before pop stardom: kids messing about; then the toughest punk ever; then pop 'boy band' before the term was invented while being in control of their singing, playing, arrangements; then studio-based inventing the concept of studio as instrument; then all of them had productive post-Beatles careers. But they were always evolving and rarely repeated themselves. It's just that they were doing it before anyone else so they were also inventing genres for others to devote whole careers to something The Beatles did once or twice brilliantly before moving on
It is important to realize that Revolver was released as a vinyl album. You listened to side 1 on your record player, then it ended, your turned it over and listened to side 2. So side one ends with "She Said, She said". Stop. Flip. Drop the needle. BAM! "Good Day Sunshine"! Brilliant!
In case anyone is interested, bassist Klaus Voorman drew the cover for the revolver album.
He later illustrated the covers for the Anthology project in the 90s.
Friend from Hamburg of course
Tomorrow never knows was the first song recorded for revolver. The Beatles kicking off the psychedelic era with sounds never heard before such as sitars and instruments being played backwards. Truly avant garde. You have to remember that nothing like this had ever been heard before.
Paul was so inspired by John’s idea, he rushed home and recorded all kinds of household sounds for them to use frontwards and backwards for the song.
It STILL sounds radical, that's the crazy thing! As much as music became psychedelic in the years after Revolver, most of it just sounded like fairly standard groovy rock n roll music. This song sounds like it's being transmitted from another dimension.
@@arich97 Except Paul was the Beatle into avante garde and all sorts of current stuff in London as he was living in his girlfriend's family home in central London while John had a wife and baby in a country house. The others weren't interested until John caught the bug and started meeting Yoko. John getting into it enabled Paul to do what he'd been wanting to do for some time
Taxman is f'n great. Spiritual George was really pissed about losing 90% of his income. Paul really shreds on lead guitar too. "My advice to those that die, declare the pennies on your eyes." Brilliant!
That song bumps, the riffs, the production especially on the 2022 mix just hits like a hip hop track - insane
Pumping bass line too
95% even
Buddhist George moaning about letting go of materialism is peak hypocritical Beatles 😂
@@penderyn8794yeah, except George was never a buddhist
still amazes me that Tomorrow Never Knows came out only 2 years after I Want to Hold Your Hand. the beat, the drone and the usage of samples was so far ahead of it's time
Eleanor Rigby is a song conceptualising the idea of how everyone has a different story but most will be forgotten and die with the holder.
sheesh...
@lifeofdariius I know, Paul was really deep...
And another thing, you mentioned near the end of the video about whether the original mixes sounded as good. Well, for the most part, yes, but the biggest difference was in "For no one" :)
@@IsaacWale2004 Okay nice I'm gonna listen to that version just to see how different
@@lifeofdariius It literally blew me away hearing the 2022 version for the first time (having only heard the 2009 remaster and a few live versions prior)
It's so profound. It has the depth of a novel, crammed into a pop song barely over 2 minutes long by people still in their mid-20s. It's hard to believe it exists.
According to Paul himself, “got to get you into my life” is about his discovery of marijuana.
I thought it was the discovery of LSD.
@@senovar Yeah, acid - they'd already being doing weed for years at this stage.
No, it was marijuana. Paul hadn’t even tried acid yet.
@@paddymeboy no it’s definitely weed I read his book
@mikecavaretta2621 That's right. Paul was the last Beatle to try it, but the first to publicly admit to having done it
On I’m Only Sleeping that noise in the middle is a backwards guitar solo, George Harrison spent weeks working on a guitar solo that would sound good reversed!! That’s why he is my favorite, always doing my favorite work 😎
Hours, not weeks.
@@thomaspappalardo7589 yes that is my mistake, I just looked it up and it took him only five hours which is even more impressive!
@@badnoodlecool Five hours is forever! 😂
And the one in Tomorrow Never Knows is Paul's solo from Taxman reversed!
@@mistabook It’s actually not, if you listen to it played forward, it’s got some similarity but not the same solo.
Rubber Soul inspired Pet Sounds. Pet Sounds inspired Sgt Pepper's.
Sgt peppers then inspired Smile… please listen to Smile Sessions the uncomplete album is almost better than all of them!!
@@matthall7359personally think smile is nearly equal to Revolver. Just plain great
@@thomassommerfeld8494 full agree my friend, which is why it’s crazy that it was never finished… but surfs up and child is the father of man are life changing tracks
Great to see you back man
The guitar solo of Taxman is made and played by Paul. He knew George was really into indian music, So he asked him if he could do the solo, so he tried to do it in indian fashion...For me is one of the best solos beatles has in their cataloge, It has energy, spark, and it's innovative...
Btw, Got to Get You Into My Life is an ode to Marihuana, and For No One is also Paul's song
Rubber Soul is THC
Revolver is LSD
What is Sgt. Peppers then?
@@MsAppassionataboth
@@MsAppassionata Pepper was Paul's coke days, and I'm not joking
@@langdonalger2005It was his everything days lol
@@langdonalger2005 Never heard that one, though I certainly wouldn’t be surprised. Got any proof?
And your bird can sing…I love the main guitar line being played simultaneously by two different guitars.
For no one is Paul. And not John. Loved your reaction!
Yes, Tomorrow Never Knows is NEXT LEVEL. That song was completely ahead of its time, y'all. It was a psychedelia Tour de Force!! It was much more than what many people could handle, but then...they needed to smoke some good weed and then put that joint back on!! Yes, listen to this album many times and let these brilliant songs sink in, including "Good Day Sunshine"!! This is The Beatles version of "Pictures at an Exhibitions". All 14 had their own artistic signatures. By the way, songs like "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Dr. Robert" are straight up guitar-driven, super-tight, Beatles badass songs! It's all about drums-bass-and guitar on those songs! Super-tight!
Cant wait MAGIC MYSTERY TOUR
Darius gotta react to the 2023 mix of I am The Walrus tho
Man went from deaf allegations to DEATH allegations 😂
😂😂😂
Here there and everywhere was a direct response to the beach boys “God only knows” so that’s why it has a similar vibe. It’s also the song that paul currently considers his best (I think)
I don't know what Paul cinsiders his best song,but I do think that "Here, There & Everywhere" was John's favorite song of Paul's.
You are the first person I’ve ever known that’s listened to the first half of this album and was like “Taxman thumbs down Love You To thumbs up” it’s a testament to your musical sensibility and I’m here for it. Glad to see you back in action
we’re always happy to see you. we’re glad you’re back! don’t push yourself too much, we’ll be here when you’re ready to post 🪲💓
🙏🏾❤️
"Tomorrow Never Knows" kicked the psychedelic era in rock music into high gear. John Lennon pinched the lines in the first verse from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which LSD guru Timothy Leary translated into English as part of the manual for acid trips he published back in the sixties. I met Leary once in the nineties when he was touring his last book. One thing important to note about The Beatles is that radio stations continued to play their music well into the seventies, so the kids born in the late sixties more or less "absorbed" many of these songs by osmosis when they were little. My earliest musical memories were hearing Beatles songs, including "Eleanor Rigby". And "Yellow Submarine" was one of the songs we played musical chairs with when I was in kindergarten in 1972. The Beatles impact back then was huge.
I LOVE "Good Day Sunshine"! Please listen to it again. Beatles songs have a way of growing on you!
"Squiggly Noises!" YAssssssssss!That's the SECOND time you perfectly put words to sounds I hear!
Good Day Sunshine is a great song to wake up to.
I’m a dark John guy. I hate the sun. I use relight inside.
It’s a great track to wake up to. Positivity is key, especially if you’re in a. Relationship.
I probably do need more of that in my life Barbara you're right 😂 Can't be a gloomy day everyday
Not to ruin it, but I think this is another pot song, like Got to Get You Into My Life
@@cain666Boo!
The story of "She Said She Said", from what I understand, goes something like this. The Beatles were hanging out with The Byrds at a party in Beverly Hills in 1965 and they were all tripping on acid, that is, LSD. Among the guests were the actor Peter Fonda (star of Easy Rider, son of actor Henry Fonda, brother of actress Jane Fonda), who kept pointing to a bullet wound he sustained in an accident as a child and pestering them by saying "I know what it's like to be dead" again and again. Although that bummed out John Lennon at the time, it gave him the first line for the lyrics and the rest was more or less filled in later in the studio. "She Said She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" marked the point where they psychedelic era in music really kicked off.
I love the reaction to "Love You To"... thanks for reminding me how much I love that song too! They take us on such a journey don't they?!
I honestly think this is a better sitar song than tomorrow never knows. The build up is incredible
Absolutely love Taxman.
Been a long time but we're glad to have u back brother 🥰 Also great reaction as always!
You’re gonna love George’s first solo album
masterpiece
Love You To never gets enough attention, ITS A BANGER
Your best reaction, "Got to get you into my life" charted for the first time ever, on May 31, 1976 on the billboard top 100 charts, at number 6, ten years after the album's release. A song for the ages, then, and even now.
One of my favourite tracks on the album.
Coincided with the release of the compilation "Rock and Roll Music" LP.
@charliemac64 My dad had that when I was little and it was my first exposure to the Beatles. It was an unauthorized release (I think?) and the art and packaging were so ridiculous that even Ringo said he hated it in an interview, but the songs were of course amazing.
For no one was Paul. imho the quality of Paul’s songs reached a peak on this album. Btw, Paul played lead guitar on Taxman. My favorite song is Tomorrow Never Knows by John. It kind of points us into the direction for the next album. Btw, John told Paul that Here, There and Everywhere was a really good one. Yes, this album is amazing. The critics consider it the best Beatles album.
The Beatles were the first band I bought an album from, in 1963. I remember every song they ever did, and I still love them. Sergeant Pepper knocked me out.
Welcome back, and I mean it. You are my favorite Beatles reactor. You remind me of how I felt when these gems were released and these sounds were fresh and new. Revolver is the marker where the Beatles exploded in then studio. Tomorrow Never Knows, I'm Only Sleeping, Got to Get You Into My Life, Eleanor Rigby we're like nitro glycerine. Innovation, boldness, creativity off the charts. Yeah, Revolver signals their move to another level.
Thanks JC, this album is the first since The White Album where it was almost a challenge listening. There's just so much to unpack with each track, every instrument is played to perfection, the writing is otherworldly, this was an experience more than a first reaction 😂 And I enjoyed every second
Re: "Good Day Sunshine": I have four words for you...The Summer of Love. In 1966 and into 67, the Beatles were the Summer of Love and Psychedelia Ambassadors! Good Day Sunshine fits perfectly in with that milieu, circa 1966. Now, this song is one of Paul's "Grannie" songs, as John would say; it does have that ragtime/early-20th century piano sound and solo. It is a throw-back song, admittedly, but in the Summer of Love-ethos of the time, it was a perfect statement by the Maestro himself, Paul McCartney!
That's some perspective I needed. I can hear it as an anthem for that era of pop culture instead of just another happy Paul song
Here there and everywhere is a song I can never listen to just once, I gotta replay it over and over and it usually gets me crying. One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and it never loses its power. Love your reactions by the way
Just so you know, John wasn't pleased with "And your bird can sing"
I think he was too critical, it's one of my favourites.
First heard it on the American release yesterday and today, butcher album cover, pasted over. Really dig and your bird can sing.
He lost his breath after Love You To!!!! That was the world's reaction when this came out in 1966! That my friends, is perfection!
The number of innovative musical moments created by the Beatles in a few short years continues to astound
@1967PONTIACGTO They landed in '64 with "I want to hold your hand" "She loves you" and "All my lovin'". They started the Sgt. Pepper sessions in Feb of '67. Man, let that sink in.
lol, re: learning Eleanore was Paul’s. You have grown - so glad you’re hearing the distinct voices better and what each member contributed.
Happy you’re back!
Returning after hearing the whole reaction to say I enjoyed this do much and the realization of the rapid transformation in three years. So insightful!
The montage that starts at 48:18 proves why The Beatles are the greatest band ever
Tomorrow Never Knows was the first ever recorded “soundscape” in popular music. It changed music forever and may well be the most influential track ever recorded.
I really like that you enjoy their deep cuts.
The reaction at for instance 44.20 ... You totally get why those of us who grew up with The Beatles love them so. We got to have our ears, minds and hearts opened with each new release. Sometimes it was a challenge and sometimes it took a while but there was always something we literally had not heard before so we got to grow with them in a sense.
It is affirming and a beautiful thing to see that this is still the case so long as the listener brings an open mind and good heart. Thank you.
Ringo is going on tour this year at age 84… and he’s still got it. I’ve been to three of his “All Starr Band” concerts and they are so much fun. Go if you can! Nothing like singing Yellow Submarine with Ringo. If you think yellow submarine isn’t psychedelic watch the movie. Btw Ringo wasn’t the one ad libbing on the song.
Ringo was a sickly child. In hospital for a year at one stage. Left school barely literate. What a life!
Your honesty is so refreshing. It’s so sincere. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
On Anthology 1, 2 and 3 there are a lot of unreleased songs, also Live at the BBC has a lot of covers that are not on any album, you should also think about those opportunities for reaction. We're very glad you're back.
It is clear to me that people who think that the Beatles are overrated is because they have definitely not listened to all of their albums. Here you can see why they are considered the most influential band in history, they created sounds that no one had ever made before and to give an example we have Tomorrow Never Knows who, despite having been released 57 years ago, still sound like the future.
I think you'll love the "Yellow Submarine" animated Beatles movie.
That's how I introduced my kids to the Bealtes, they watched it dozens of times. Now in their 20s are all 60s to 80s music fans, unlike their friends.
I also really like the film "Yesterday", set in a world where the Beatles suddenly didn't exist and only a few people remember them.
@@denysmace3874 Any film featuring Beatles music is great. For non-Beatles, Beatle movies, I'm fond of "Across the Universe" and "I Am Sam".
Others may also have said, Good Day Sunshine opens side 2 of the vinyl LP. That's how we heard it in the old days. You had to get up, turn the record over, and re-start the player then sit down on get ready to move and dance in a different way. It is not continuous with the previous songs so much as the opener for the second half of a show
Doctor Robert was the dealer to stars...the Doctor Feelgood of his time. John wrote "She Said She Said" about a very high Peter Fonda who kept telling him "I know what it's like to be dead". John's reply was "who put all that shit in your head?"
Lennon nails it on this album and took The Beatles to a new level
She Said She Said came from an acid trip Lennon had with actor Peter Fonda. Fonda kept whispering to John “I know what it’s like to be dead.” John eventually got fed up, told him to go away and then wrote a song about it
My favorite Beatles album. The album was game changing when it came out and it set new musicians up for failure because no one beats the Beatles!
And your bird can sing never gets old
Personally, I think Eleanor Rigby is the Beatles’ true masterpiece.
It's almost TOO good man
@@lifeofdariius that cutting string arrangement paired with their darker vocal harmonies are just transcendent. there’s no other song that sounds like that
I like the fact that they all collaborated on the lyrics.
The Art of guitar channel took Eleanor Rigby and showed that, melody-wise, it’s the most heavy metal of all Beatles songs.
I love how this album starts with Harrison ranting about taxes, then McCartney drops pure poetry then we go to Lennon singing about how much he loves sleeping. Classic Beatles
Such a sharp and clear guitar sound on Dr. Robert.
About the bass in Revolver: up until then Paul recorded the bass together with the basic track, the band playing altogether. Starting here, he will record the bass afterwards, alone, that will give him more room to create these wonderful basslines, and also the bass can be treated in the mixing separately, pumping up the sound in an incredible way.
Then the drums here. The Beatles had a new engineer here, Geoff Emerick, who was eager to experiment. And he set up a new way to place microphones in drums, that was revolutionary, and still today is the standard way to record drums.
Then about Tomorrow Never Knows. They had been playing with tapes on small tape recorders at home, and decided to use tapes as what 15 years later would be know as "samples". This was very laborious and precarious in 1966. So what you hear in TNK is drums, bass, tambura (an indian instrument that produces that cool buzzing drone), and the first ever use in pop music of samples.
Revolver was my introduction to The Beatles. I was a kid when I first heard it. Taxman intrigued me. Here, There, and Everywhere was my wedding song. It’s a very personal album.
Glad you’re back. Life never really gets easier, but it’s a good thing we’ve got some great tunes to discover to keep us going.
"Got to Get You into My Life" was Paul's love song to cannabis
John-
I'm Only Sleeping
She Said She Said
Dr. Roberts
And Your Bird Can Sing
Tomorrow Never Knows-- however, Paul brought in the tape loops that sounded like birds. George did the Indian drone ( the whole song is in the key of C) and the backwards guitar, Ringo did the sick drum beat, and John took the lyrics from the Tibetian Book of the Dead!
Paul-
Got to Get You into My Life
For No One
Eleanor Rigby
Here There and Everywhere
Good Day Sunshine
George-
Taxman ( Paul did the guitar solo)
Love You To
I Want to Tell You
Ringo- sang Yellow Submarine...but John and Paul wrote it specifically for him to sing on the album
John didn’t take the entire lyrics from the book, tho.
@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv Actually John was inspired by a book about the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I don't think John was running around with scrolls from Tibet.
“Your Day breaks
Your Mind Aches
You find that all the words
of kindness linger on when
she no longer needs you”
one of the most perfect verses
Just a minor quibble--"all her words of kindness"
This makes me so happy to see you back and reacting to my favorite band of all time The Beatles.
I am SO happy to have been served this video in the algorithm! Darius you’re such a breath of fresh air. It feels like getting to retake the Beatles adventure with you. She said she said is incredible and sonically!? Just WAIT till the next album. Don’t forget the context of when this album came out and the time in the world. The hyperchanging 60s. The new adventures the expansion of your mind. Keep going. Keep going 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I'm glad your bringing up "The Word" from Rubber soul g that song is too underrated 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Darius, you’re AMAZING! Thanks again for your incredible reactions and insights and for keeping it real! Like the Beatles themselves, You inspire me! ❤
Multiple times through his lifetime John Lennon said that “Here, There And Everywhere” was as close to perfection that the Beatles ever achieved and that it was one of if not is very favorite Beatles tracks.
Can you imagine hearing this for the first time back in 1966… with “Tomorrow Never Knows” giving clues to the direction that they were heading, but WHERE?!?
And then, just a few months later, you hear “Penny Lane” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” on the radio… There was NOTHING like that on the radio! And then, the anticipation of their next album… and seeing the SGT PEPPER album cover for the first time, welcoming you into their little vacation away from reality for 45 minutes.
That must’ve been a great time to be a young adult-living that experience!
TNK single-handedly changed MUSIC forever. Period.
Let's be honest. Instrumentals AND lyrics melded beautifully. Few bands achieved this summit.
He everybody else: Is TAXMAN going to grow on Darius, or what? It’s my favorite track with TNK a close second.
Btw, Darius, that’s Paul on the solo, incorporating Indian vibes to please George. 😎
I've been waiting 5 months specifically just to watch the expression on your face as your brain melts during 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. LOL! Classic Darius. You didn't disappoint.
By the way, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is one of the best songs on the album; it just might take multiple listenings to appreciate it as such.
It's already grown on me, John's haunting melody sucks me in every time now
@@lifeofdariius When listening to 'Tomorrow Never Knows', it's best to turn off you mind, relax and float downstream.
I was gonna wite the same thing, been waiting for Darius to come face to face with Tomorrow Never Knows ever since he began his chronological journey. It was great to be reminded through him of what a mindfuck of an audio experience that song is, even over half a century later! It STILL sounds like the futur to me, can't even fathom what it must have sounded like to 1966 ears
Paul played the guitar solo on Taxman
I have been waiting for MONTHS to see your reaction to "Tomorrow Never Knows"
I was actually starting to worry about you… So happy this popped up today. Great, as always! One comment on Yellow Sub… I think it would have fit right in on Sgt Pepper… & on Tomorrow Never… it’s STILL ahead of its time. Much appreciation… You’re the best!
i've never heard a song like Tomorrow Never Knows in my life and I listen to tons of music man. These guys we're just different 😂
@@lifeofdariius Mind blowing!
My favorite Beatles album, it's soooo gdamn good
So glad people are still discovering this album
Eleanor Rigby, Here There & Everywhere, For No One, Got to Get You Into My Life. It’s weird because I think of this album as having a very distinct “John Lennon” sound to it but my word, Paul was absolutely cooking this album. Like 3 masterpieces from him on one album.
This is the album where the sound engineers invented so many forms of productions that had never been used in music at that time (backwards guitar, pitched down audio on drums and flangers). Innovative masterpiece
the noise on "I'm only sleeping" is George's guitar recording played backwards. :)
Loved taking "The Revolver" trip with you man....
Revolver is my favourite Beatles album, tied with Rubber soul. They're both masterpeices.
You have impeccable taste, that's my exact same top 2 LOL
@@tricko8000 *We* have impeccable taste. LOL
My favourite Beatles album!🏴
So happy you’re back Darius, been looking forward to this one 🔥🔥
I’ll tell you taxman will grow on you
Glad to see you back
That part after "Tomorrow Never Knows" where you bring up "Please Please Me" was perfect. To think of the journey from "Love Me Do" to "Love You To!" Spin Magazine once said that this Rubber Soul/Revolver transformation would be as if N'Sync, over the course of two years, changed into Radiohead.
** I’m only sleeping **is my favorite song of all time 🎉❤
Ur the best bro 🎉
"Tomorrow Never Knows" was the first track recorded for Revolver. Originally Lennon wanted to call it "The Void." According to Lennon he accidentally pushed rewind on his tape recorded guitar parts, and he thought it sounded pretty cool, so snippets of it are in the song. He also wanted the studio engineers to make his voice sound distant, like he was shouting from a mountain top, and you hear that in the later part of the song. My favorite lyric is "that ignorance and hate may mourn the dead."
This is their best album
