10 Songs of The Beatles that talked about their BREAKUP 

I have always loved “I Me Mine.” Very powerful song.

In the end Paul turned out to be right about Allen Klein. The other 3 were lucky he didn't sign all their rights away by holding out on the management contract.

All things must pass album as whole was like a big f you bc it showed what George could do if allowed the freedom to create more songs

As far as George Harrison and the song, “All Things Must Pass”…”The Beatles Get Back” shows that the song was NOT ONLY offered to the band, but WAS actually worked up for possible inclusion to the upcoming show.

Paul broke up the Beatles as he would not accept Alan Klein as manager so it walked out. Two years later the other Beatles agreed with him.

Well researched and well presented material. I look forward to more of this content.

JOHN:-"Happiness is a warm gun". PAUL:- "Too many people". GEORGE:-"I don't care anymore". RINGO:-"Don't pass me by". ❤Lush days🌐(from Jujuy,Argentina)

Paul saved them from a bad contract.

It seems that from the beginning, George's songs were considered "less than" the songs penned by Lennon - McCartney. Why didn't John and Paul include George in the songs they were composing? George was a good friend of Paul and Paul invited him to join the band and was clearly the best guitarist in the band but seemed to wind up in the back seat when it came to writing the Beatles music catalog. It's a mute point now, of course, but i always felt bad for George as I feel like he contributed strong songs (in my opinion) to the early albums, but had to plead his case to the other two in order to get his songs on the list for the album they were working on. It seems like the later animosity on the part of George was fueled by everything that came before.

Great video! 👏👏👏

All Things Must Pass is a masterpiece

Great video. Part 2 please!

It was sad how it all ended. The wasn't nescessary, because they changed over the years and in the end it was time for the breakup to give every band member the room they needed. They failed to end it on good terms.

Very well done

George was a Wah Wah. He portrayed kindness and understanding but he was passive agressive in his behavior. He did not appreciate his role in the group but loved the money. He was one lucky dude to be asked to be in the Beatles.

Where did you read/hear John And George were arguing when George left? Everything I've seen made it appear it was Paul bossing George around. I'm honestly curious. There are books i haven't read.

"Too Many People", "Isn't It A Pity"......

Those Krishna’s were pretty nuts. I don’t think George hanging around those dudes was any help to him.

'Savoy Truffle' and 'Octopus's Garden' also contain digs at Paul: "What is sweet now turns so sour, We all know 'Ob-La-Di-Bla-Dah', But can you show me where you are?" "We would be so happy, you and me, No-one there to tell us what to do."

How have you not included "Get Back" itself? Paul sung the lyrics while staring Yoko in the face

everyone goes on about who broke up the beatles,was it john or paul well i think it was both of them that broke the beatles up thay didnt get on in 1969.

The feud between Paul and everyone gets a lot of press but things were not always peachy between John and George. When George walked away it was John who talked about getting Clapton to replace him. Klaus Voorman has given interviews where he talks about how sh*tty John was to George during the Hamburg days and I've heard interviews with George where he essentially said him and Ringo were treated like the help by Lennon and McCartney. The funny thing is, when Paul formally announced he was leaving the band I heard George drove to John's place and they had some sort of "what the hell should we do now" pow-wow. I mean, John had already bailed so I'm not sure what that was about. John said later he was pissed that he listened to Klein and kept his leaving private and let Paul beat him to the punch but I don't know. Maybe in some weird kind of way John had it in the back of his mind that Paul would come around and the band would accept things on his terms. But he abdicated leadership of the band after they stopped touring and Brian died. He later said that was when the Beatles stopped being a band and that he wanted to get out in 66 but didn't have the confidence that he could make it on his own. But then again, John said all kinds of stuff, usually the first thing that popped into his mind, at least when his woman was around. When he got away from her for a time in the mid-70s he was more thoughtful, more philosophical, and less harsh in his treatment of his bandmates. Paul always sluffed stuff off but George didn't even like talking about the Beatles. As for Ringo, he was the real working-class hero of the band, putting his head down and getting the job done. He does get more freedom on songs John composed like Rain, Day in the Life, and She Said. His drumming on Paul's compositions is more mechanical. It's good, but it's very straight forward. I think that's why Ringo preferred working with the other two and why he didn't collaborate with Paul. Paul seems like the type who showed up and told Ringo what he wanted where John, probably because he wasn't as skilled musically, left it up to Ringo. It's too bad they couldn't work out their differences but then again, they went out on top and didn't live past their expiration date like the Stones whose remaining members look like they died 10 years ago but didn't tell the undertaker. As this lengthy post indicates, I have always been a Bealtlemaniac and will remain one until I die. They made me fall in love with music. Thanks boys, now make sure you have it sorted out by the time I kick because I want to see you play once again on the other side.

For the Next Video, Do a classic album review on the let it Be album

The problem is they were so good that they can afford to break up.....other bands can't even think of breaking up.

I suggest everyone watch the ‘Get Back’ film again. Specifically what happens on the Blu-ray between 1:34:00 and 1:36:00 on Disc 1, Chapter 6. Massive arguments HAVE been edited out of the ‘Get Back’ sessions. The Director says that this may be the last filmed Beatle show. Ringo responds that he is only saying that because he has just been watching the Beatles arguing. But Ringo says it may not be their last show because the Beatles have been arguing “for the last 18 months.” Right after that we find out that John and Paul have had a big argument. But we DO NOT SEE any of that. All we see comes a few minutes later when George quits the group. We do not see WHY George quits; we just see him walk off. Did George and John trade punches over Yoko? We still do not know because all of the Beatle arguments have been edited out. But we know the bad arguments really happened because the Beatles have told us these sessions left a sour taste in their mouth for years. George Martin was serious when he said there were “Fights and rows” during the ‘Get Back’ project. We’re just not seeing that part because it is being hidden from us. Either that or during a zillion hours of filming they missed filming the really bad parts. Intentionally or otherwise. You must remember that we are getting the Disney version of things and not the entire real version.

I've seen two clips of Lennon from "Get Back" offering up criticism of "I, Me, Mine. Neither was an "argument." In neither did Lennon "ridicule" Harrison. In neither did he "dismiss Harrison's ability as a song writer." That is just something you are reading into it. And in the end Harrison accepted his suggestions. Namely, in the bridge. His flamenco style acoustic guitar solo was replaced with the rock 'n' roll version we know. Likely with Lennon's help.

I think 3 Legs is not ambiguous in the least bit. You can tell Paul is writing how his friends, specifically John, betrayed him and how the arguments over who was going to manage the Beatles was 3 against 1. Although it could be considered a Beatles breakup song, it really should be categorized as songs where the Beatles were attacking each other. On Paul’s Ram album, the songs Too Many People and 3 Legs definitely have lyrics that are aimed at John. Later that year, John retaliated against Paul by writing Crippled Inside and How Do You Sleep? and putting those songs on his Imagine album. On the first Wings album, there is the song, Dear Friend, which sounds like Paul is apologizing to John.

does anyone else not think John was making fun of I Me Mine, but just kinda being John? Maybe I'm wrong, but i see it like that

Don’t forget the claustrophobic environment they were forced to inhabit because of fan obsession. See the video about making “A Hard Day’s Night”. You can only live that way for so long.

Is this not a original video from "La Hemeroteca"??

"Oh Woman Oh Why" was McCartney's most overt.

It was John and Yoko who broke them up

"How Do You Sleep?" and "Too Many People".

It was John insustance to work with other musicians It was Paul"s insistence to perform live It was George, that wanted a breakout album, A first in music history benefit concert - Bangadesh - Everything he deserved Ringo had little imput on matter Ringo Starr Is a true moment in music Which otherise would not truely be the Beatles

In hindsight it's not hard to realize that the breakup was inevitable. The early days it was the power of John and Paul's songs that created the Beatles success. Honestly George couldn't write for s***in the early days. It also must have been awkward for Harrison because he owed his place in the band to Paul. The quote un quote "spiritual Beatle" became more and more bitter and I think felt out of place in the band. So George outgrew his place and John and Paul wanted their predominance on the songs put on the albums like they did at the beginning. Instead of growing in their relationships they just decided, all of them selfishly, to do what they wanted for themselves.

What about “ Bsnd On The Run?”

❤

And I missed Too many people.

One Lennon song ? And he was reminding himself what to believe in, in “God”, not telling everyone else to. Very George centric piece here.

Much of Abbey Road is pervaded by what Nietzsche called the melancholy of all things finished.

I wish Paul hadn't posed barefoot for the cover of ABBEY ROAD. His decision to do so helped generate rumors that he'd passed on!

You forgot the fist fight between John and George.

We Can Work It Out!

Could we all just get over the Beatles they broke up over 50 years ago.....life goes on 🙄

I'm so tired is the first Beatle song about the impending break up of the band...

Of course John wasn't the walrus, Paul was.

It all starts with Yoko, the real angel of destruction that sentenced the Beatles' live.

No "how do you sleep"? That's the most obvious song one if them made about the other.. you don't have to rely on an authors view, it's blatant.

What's this?

God John Lennon

Team Paul.

Didn’t need the gratuitous f bomb

And what about " Not Guilty" by George? And yet another song "Got me escaping from this zoo." Something about shoes?)

Sooooo, are we just collectively ignoring George's "When We Was Fab" and Paul's "My Brave Face"? Both of these songs were written about the final year of The Beatles, and also show scenes from that time too, with Ringo being cast in When We Was Fab. They also are the only songs by The Beatles, post band, where the Sgt Pepper outfits are used (other than George's "Ding Dong Ding Dong"). You can't not include the most famous Beatles break up songs if you are making a list of them, it is just stupid.

The most IMPORTANT PID CLUE comes @11:30. Thank You Music Box for making this public again.

Yoko broke up the Beatles, yet she'll likely and unfortunately outlive all of them

Back off bugalo was a term Marc Boland kept saying , had nothing to do wtih macartney , so youa re wrong on that one

George never had confidence in the songs latter appeared on “all things must past”. He did not even want them on LET IT BE. That was EMI making a decision. Don’t blame Paul or John. I really like George’s stuff. But it didn’t measure up.

history lesson for boomers

George was such a whingeing crybaby.

@lahemeroteca ?

I truly think George was a pain in the ass
