Welcome home!

I was 8 years old and remember the body counts on TV every night. Thank you for your service at a time when it wasn't really appreciated. All we need is LOVE!

WOW what a story!

The power of the Beatles knows no bounds 🙏

Its the greatest song ever made

McCartney most certainly had that talent from birth! and he was the most relentless. I think the overall explanation is that John and Paul made each other into geniuses. They were born to be together. There was such an incredible connection, so much love. We saw it in Get Back. It's not sexual. It's something at a higher level. They referred to their songs as "the children". It's a love story that produced over 200 children, it exploded into music that transcendds everything, it changed the world. The Beatles breakup was really the Lennon/McCartney breakup. The world still hasn't healed from it.

Pete Best could write some solid music as well. The original Beatles must have been something amazing to see. Ringo was super talented too but you could tell he did not feel like it was his band. Just the name alone is great. A musical play on words while sticking to an insect which was so popular back then. You had to see that name for the first time and just knew you were about to see and hear magic.

@@robertschumann7737 when time travel was invented, the first place I went was the Cavern Club in late 1962, they were amazing! ;)

Lol what? John's songs were way more creative than Paul's. Much deeper, more meaningful, all whilst he had less musical knowledge. Paul never write anything like a day in the life, or happiness is a warm gun. John's first solo album is better than anything paul done solo. Even in the early days, all the best songs were written mainly by John. Paul had to work hard to write good songs, to Lennon, they came without effort.

@@bendagostino2217 Paul co wrote Day in the Life. His album Ra,m is now considered a masterpiece. Paul was the avant garde, experimental one. John's solo albums were not very inventive.

Paul’s voice NOW is just UN-F&*KIN’’ believable!!!!! I saw him in 2021 at Dodger Stadium, and he ran around that stage like a TEENAGER!

Smooth also brutal at the same time!!

i think mccartney was the best singer in music!

@@edryba4867 i saw him at the capital centre in '76. Sunday May 16 ( a life-long personal holiday) my 1st concert

@@fairmounthotelhotel2711 You could well be right. There was never a voice like his before or since. And it's my belief (as a Voice Actor myself), he often used HIS Voice Acting talent in many ways on many of his vocals. But when I purchased my Trident 32x8x2 console for my own studio, the literature that came with it said that the FINAL version of the song was recorded at Trident Studio, in London's West End, The Beatles often recorded there when they couldn't get "their" usual room at Abbey Road. Also, among many other bands, The Rolling Stones recorded at Trident. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is one example. The kids' choir on that recording came from the school next door to Trident!

My mother sang this song while I was sitting on her lap. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was born in 69, but in Grade 5 our Music teacher was a major Vancouver Island hippie. We spent that whole year singing Beatle songs. All the hits. Opened up so much after that. Best time of my life and my favorite class ever. That was my introduction to the Beatles.

Learned the details of how the Beatles worked together. I like the way Paul and John once they had an idea how a song should be rarely listened to anyone but each other. This isn’t a dis on George and Ringo they are both fabulous, but when the two of them were together it was magic.

How old are u now?

I was -39 years old but I think it’s one of the timeless songs

I'm happy for your father, he has good taste, Hey Jude is such a great song that your father did not even understand English at the time and he still loved the song. That's what Beatles music can do to you!!

Thanks for sharing that great family story

I just needed to read it, make my day better :D

Great family memory

Beautiful story, truly. Thanks for sharing.

Ha! I can do that too 😋

I think he's finding the right note. It's like in Yesterday, both are in F chord from the start and there's a kinda debate or issue if "Yesterday" was flat at first something like that

That's what singers do. You have to remember a note later and sing it again.

@@tutortle1820 he's often flat, as is also sinatra. doesn't matter for pop. just get the tone, feeling and emotion across. which of course they both do fantastically.

Simply amazing control.

exactly my thoughts

What can you say?? The guy is just a legend.

bob dylan also thinks so

Me too mate 👍

Of course but in my case, I feel the same with John Lennon and Harrison.

@Laney Kane, rightly so. Their music was, is and always will be part of most people's lives.

Que lindos recuerdos tienes Dichoso que vivistes esa generaci9n Beatles

Donˋt forget the Stones - they were the other Side of the Medal - both shining and none better or worse than the other !! The eternal competition between both has dissolved into admiration for both.

@@Inglese001 AMEN 🙏!!!

@laneykane. Rock on Beatles Fan's!! I'm 67 and still wear mine (well some of them! I'm built more on top than I was in elementary school!! Lol.) All those shirts 👕 I saved and I'm glad I did cuz you can make amazing quilts out of special T-shirts!!😁😁

George and Paul made sure those LPs came out right

IMO that captures the biggest difference between Beatles and solo work. No one there to tell them it's good but they could do better. Personal opinion but all their solo works seem incomplete compared to the Beatles.

@@jetsamperes5762 Agreed

@@jetsamperes5762 I agree. Their solo work lacks the “polish” of the group albums.

​@@notbraindead7298was für ein Schwachsinn

We know that, Genius

Correct👍😊😊

You are right not only 10century's but till the end of this ERA

And wrote just about every song between mid-1963 and mid-1969. So that's only six years.

setuju sama mas bram

I remember like yesterday seeing the Beatles preform this song on the Dick Cavet Show via prerecorded video. I feel lucky to have lived through the best years of rock and roll.

Yep they've kept me toe tapping since I was about ten years old. LONGTIME !!

my First new album Magical Mystery Tour sears had also a mono version i picked stereo . w book...? $3.30 approx prob mono today: priceless

@Elliot Mess- dont all kids generally think its the best time to be alive. Im older like you so not judging. Peace.

@@Applecompuser I have no idea what kids think as I only know what I thought at the time. If you’re young good luck with your future as you’re going to need it. 😂

They are a perfect pair and probably didn't know it back then. I absolutely love them together!

Warm chills exactly......To me it feels like if you haven't seen someone that you care about in a long long time.

L

Watch the Get Back documentary/series, there is more of that feeling.

The good than can us see John and George in vídeo so amazing.😔 Pi😢😂❤ Piracicaba

Ringo is a great drummer, and don't let any fool tell you otherwise!He makes a great entrance in the second verse after"THEN YOU CAN START TO MAKE IT BETTER."🥁

I love Ringos drumming. He is not even close to being a musical genius though.

His ability to always keep the tempo perfectly is awesome too

​@@rman52a22

@@rman52i agree lol

Long and Winding Road

Here there and everywhere, for no one, Martha my dear

He literally has like 25 all time contenders for best song ever and about 100 just great songs He was a genius

more than those 3. The Beatles were masters. Most of their songs would be enough to propel a band to fame, and they have dozens of masterpieces.

We like to say peoplekind now, it's more inclusive 😉😉

agree shame about the "it does go on a bit" ending but far out the simple chords and heart-tugging melody wow

This song is a masterpiece! My favorite song on Earth since I was 9. This song has saved my life more than once. Best song ever written.

Glad you approve.It's too bad you weren't there to coach them.😎

End na na na nas go on too long, longer than actual song.

Hilarious 😂

Yes we were. No other band ever made me feel, in my heart and soul, the way the Beatles did. And still do.

Yes. It's kinda sad this song is about him walking out on his son Julian though. Wonder how Paul got John to go along with it

53 years…why is that so hard to grasp?

@@cbennett196631 yea I’m thinking the same thing. Why do you think everyone still love, “The Beatles.”

@@cbennett196631 Probably referring to to how fast times flies. You apparently are young and maybe don’t realize how fast your life will pass.

@@jessetwo1 because good music never dies.

@@martdod When my two daughters now, 29 and 27 first began to notice music. I didn’t want them to be influenced only by the music of the day around 2002. I told them if they were going to get into music they should start with the best! We listen to every single, all the albums, and watched all the movies. They listen to other music just as we did but their first love is still, “The Beatles”. Just as it is mine 58 years after I first her them.

The Beatles were so interconnected as if they were raised by the same mother. They had an ear for each other, and Ringo pieced the three singers with his drums nicely. I believe their fame was due to how Ringo managed their songs with his drums.

No Beatles without Ringo! And they knew it . Alice 73 (Norway) Beatles for me since I was 13 in 1963. Paul and John with their lyric and music still make me smile and feel good inside.

Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like The Beatles. Great band from the new generation

Amen.

He deserved a higher honor than just a producer. He contributed way too much musically. Especially, with regards to his orchestral magic. He was a Beatle.

@@cherbutler85 He was the 5th Beatle, if anyone was.

If not for his suggestion that the Beatles speed up "Please Please Me" we may never have had Beatlemania.

Agreed, but i think Jeff Lynne is a candidat too

Classic.

That was the drawback to wearing bell bottom pants. Used to happen to me too back in the day.

Nice tie by the way

They became great because they all paid their dues with a grueling schedule in Germany.

@@nickv4073 Yes and the sheer luck of those talents growing up in the same town.Pete Best was there all those long hours in Hamburg and never evolved.

@@PC4USE1 He didn't do so bad in the end. The release of "Anthology" in 1995 brought him royalties said to have made him a millionaire.

Well Said!

@@PC4USE1 Don’t think he was a particularly good egg. George Martin luckily spotted this early doors 👍🏻

Paul is my favorite singer of all time, of course I love John also. I’m so grateful and thankful those boys found each other!

And by coincidence, July 6, 1957 is my birth date. What a gift. I'm still enjoying it 66+ years later.

Only 39 myself. They were just magic. One of a kind. I cannot wait to sit down over Christmas and watch the entire documentary. I love the likes of Queen, Oasis, Michael Jackson, Kings Of Leon, Bee Gees, Green Day, Foo Fighters, U2 etc etc etc.....but these guys were just incredible. Superstars ❣

Right on.

Nah Never.Bridge Over Troubled Water knocks this sideways

@@alfching2499 Gotta put Let it Be up there too. There was about a five year period where MACCA was on fire.

Obviously you've never heard of Justin Beiber ha ha

Stadia?!?

At least you acknowledge there were four of them. That’s more than a lot of fucking idiots on here are doing.

Your right, the Beatles were extremely talented. But, there’s no need to take a swipe at todays music. Music today is as good as it’s ever been. I’m 40 and still listen to ‘current music’ and there’s some great stuff out there.

Every time. I just remember never being disappointed. Every penny spent on their records was worth it, because they were THAT good.

Su canto en Oh! Darling es increíble.

LOL @ downstrokes on a piano.

How are y’all gonna disrespect Paul’s left thumb like that? Paul’s left thumb is right there with John doing upstrokes

I was thinking the same thing. The acoustic guitar is mixed lower in the final version, but here it's a bit more prominent and it gives the song a bit of chug. It sounds like a Gibson--woody and full--but it's hard to tell because there's no shot of it from the front.

@@thefonzkisshe said downs. I know exactly what he means

Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like The Beatles. Great band from the new generation

@@andrewmarcellis2007 Thank you, I’ll have a listen! - cheers, Dean

This is the melody of Sympathy for the devil I think. It sounds like it.

Paul was a musical genius definitely what he done for the Beatles is insane! John knew it and so did George but he was jealous and bitter even though Paul made him rich

@@MrThedonhead I heard somewhere that Paul could play about 100 instruments. Whatever the number is , it's amazing. Isn't it true that Paul played the drums on Helter Skelter or some other White Album song ? I bet there are very few musicians who could fill in for someone else in their band .

Actually it was a fact that Paul told George to take down his fills on the song. George was a little annoyed, but Paul was right....

@@Martin-pt5on yeah he suggested shadowing the vocal melody with the guitar.

I'm lucky enough that I was born and witnessed the best band ever- I love everything about The Beatles!!!

THE KING.... couldn't agree more my friend !

@jean-luc paradis You mean they didn't have 5 or 6 cameras rolling all at once , and they weren't switching them live ? :)

@@robertbrown8362 Pehaps they could do that yesterday, but you never know about tomorrow. Good day. Dr Robert

@jean-luc paradis Ok, I guess nobody sees my humor in my comment.

@jean-luc paradis I was being sarcastic with my poor attempt at humor jean-luc.

@@johncooksey79 i got it.

Even when the lyrics are different, you know. "She has found you, now go and get her" didn't make the final cut.

So true. 😂😂

im same any deviation from what I know as the final take just dosent sit right with me,it bugs me and i arent sure why ..how i know them is when theyre right lol

Macca is a musical GENIUS,as is Lennon.This song achieves greatness the moment Paul sings the third better, better,better AHHH!Utter MAGNIFICENCE!❤️

Hold on😂

What a nice story :-)

You were there don't ya golfo

Yes. The perfect single of all time.

Absolutely, along with We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper, Paperback Writer/Rain and Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane

Those too 👍 lol

Oh was John there too? I thought by all of the comments on here Paul was the only one doing anything? Geez!!

I believe that today Trident largely records voice-over work for adverts.

This is really interesting... Cheers.

Universal Audio has emulated the Trident mixing console so it's available as a plug-in. Yeah, the piano sounds really good through it.

You can't be genius composers and musicians like the best band there ever was the Beatles

Indeed, and let's not forget Life On Mars?

I love Paul but I wish I had a pound for every time I’ve heard him tell that story.

@@pavement422 Paul deserves to tell the story, at least he wrote a song for Julian. What did John do?

@@MrChopsticktech I know where you’re coming from, but John wrote a song for Julian as well: Good Night

That's the best line in the song-g.

John Lennon said a artist is never satisfied with their work. John Lennon said he would do every Beatle song over again.

Came out in August '68

Real close minded of you to throw all rap and hip hop under the blanket of commercial waste. There’s literally thousands of individual artists out there producing real music from their heart and souls. I think all four Beatles and Billy Preston would think you’re wrong.

@@mattlukasik2486 We all produce music with our heart and souls. I'm just comparing the levels of talent needed to produce a rap tune compared to a Beatles song. I will also compare longevity. Name me a rap artist of 10 years ago whose still significant today. Or name one now that we will still be playing in 10 years time let alone 50 years time. There are huge talents around. Ed Shearan and Bruno Mars could have been born in any of he decade and still have made it, such are their talents. But rap artists vs Beatles? Do me a favour.

@@chrisnieto5547 I love the Beatles they’re my favorite band of all time. But art is to subjective to be out here making claims about who’s the best and what not. The best music is the music that’s being enjoyed. Regarding the significance of rappers that were relevant 10 years ago as well as today: Kanye West, J Cole, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Drake, Mac Miller, ASAP Rocky. And that’s just the tip of the ice burg.

@@mattlukasik2486 Here's my take on it...and I admit I'm not a rap fan and don't really follow the genre and I'm a man of a certain age but I know its huge popular genre . But of that list Kayne West (more from reality tv) and Drake are the ones I instantly recognise. Am I alone here? If you asked to 100 people in their twenties to name a couple of albums from each of those artists what sort of success to do think you would get? Yes there's an argument that no one buys albums like they used to any more but I maintain if your not particularly interested in that genre ( if your into metal, rock, blues, pop, country, dance etc) then are they on your audio radar? For instance if you got all those male artists ( I think they are all male) to rap exactly the same words on the same tune , would they be able to identify them from each other. Could rap fans identify? I'm not so sure. Its totally indistinctive is my point. I'm a semi pro musician. I play a lot of country, rock and blues and I love going to concerts because I love to see musicians play. See the skill, the mastery of an instrument and yes, hear artists sing! I hear people talk all day!! In the office, the bus stop, down the pub. Is it too trite to say that to a degree if we all got rhyming dictionary's we could all be rappers? Don't ask me how but I saw a rap concert by an artist called Dave. No musicians, just a backing track with Dave stalking the stage rapping about how tough it is out there on the street. I mean nice work if you can get it!! Is it harsh to call it little more than karaoke in a live setting? Lyrically it can be homophobic, misogynist and if you listen to gangsta rap, unpleasantly violent. Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy but then I recognise the brilliance of someone like Beyonce. But I will leave you with this fantasy. In 200 years time they invent a time machine. They tell music fans they can go back in time and see one concert live as it happens. Do you go back and see The Beatles live in the Cavern club or Kayne West in Nova Club. I think I know how that vote will go. Its not about whose best, its about musical significance.

I guarantee you 55 years ago there was a@@chrisnieto5547-type (countless, actually) saying exactly this sentiment about the Beatles, and their sturdiness over the test of time. I have very little tolerance for this kind of chauvinism, and I say this as a gigantic Beatles fan. Have a little humility about your very personal notion of talent, artistry and musicianship. You can appreciate what you love without trivializing what you admittedly haven’t taken the time to truly investigate or understand. Short of that understanding, it’s just a whole lot of bloviating.

Just another reason why music was so much better in the 60's than it is today,what with that rap crap and that auto tuned garbage!

@@richardnicholson5768 Yup! I prefer calling it (C)rap though...nothing but tribal chants with a jungle beat...(OH, Heavens, did I just say that?)

My mom was 13 when “Hey Jude” came out and she said there was nothing else like it. People worldwide were obsessed-it was such a unique, beautiful, and uplifting song. Marianne Faithfull tells the story where she saw Paul scurrying around at a party and he had something behind his back. She said “Hey Paulie what do you have there?!” and it was a press of Hey Jude before it was officially released. She said they all made him play the record over and over all night long, they loved it so much.

Depends how you define cool

I am thinking Ringo had the most patience! …..quietly waiting around a lot! He was the perfect drummer for them!

My mom saw the _Hey Jude_ album cover and said, "oop, look at Ringo there."
