First Time Hearing | The Beatles - I Want You(She's So Heavy) | Reaction 

Heavy=intellectually, spiritually, creatively deep

Only the Beatles could make a hit song with just 15 words in it.

Every Beatles song invented a new genre. They were SO far ahead of their time.

The brilliance of the white noise is not to be underestimated.

John sings lead; Paul and George sing on harmonies. Paul is on bass, as usual.

Greatest love song ever written. He is MAD about her. The music simulates madness. He is insane for her love.

"Heavy" -do you know what that means in this context? I can't believe it's already out of fashion. It means "deep", as in a "deep" person-someone who rocks your world etc...

💙Any day is a good day when you hear The Beatles!

There is 15 words in this whole song. Unbelievable.

McCartney on bass Lennon on rhythm George on lead Ringo These boys could tackle ANY genre and master it. Special doesn’t begin to describe them.

That white noise is coming from a brand new Moog synthesizer. George bought the first one in England and it was used for this first time on this album. The opening to Here Comes the Sun uses it.

Dude, this song here with headphones on hits different. Especially turned up all the way🤘❤️i kind of wish the ending goes on forever. I picture my coffin being carried out the church with this playing

Masterwork. Yes, all the instrumentation is excellent. I like Billy Preston playing the organ. His role is small in this song, but he's there.

Heavy means deep … awesome …mind blowing …..

John wrote and sang lead on this.

It ends like that because John made the engineer physically CUT the tape in that spot. That was a synthesizer making that sound.

Just for the historical record, Abbey Road was named after the studio where the album, and nearly all of the Beatles' recordings were made. The studio was actually named EMI Studios but was called Abbey Road because it was on Abbey Road. That's Abbey Road the Beatles are walking across. Because the album was so popular, they renamed the studio Abbey Road Studios.

Before it even played, I'm hearing it in my head. Its been sooo long since I heard this great song. I love it!!❤❤❤

My #1 Beatles song after a lifetime of listening.

This is the fourth time he's been guessing whether it's John or Paul on vocals, always going for Paul, when it was John every single time🤣 A new strategy may be considered for future Beatles reactions👍 *John also did the guitar solo on this one

Since you loved this, you MUST check out Yer Blues!!

Nope, that's really the end. Then you flip over the album and get the opening line of Here Comes the Sun, which is a stark contrast. Listening to the digital copy, with no album flip, the transition comes instantly and it feels really weird and cool. The two songs couldn't be more different.

This album and Dark Side are the two greatest masterpieces ever put on vinyl, imo. She Came In Through The Bathroom Window is another banger on this album and your boy, Joe Cocker, does an incredible cover of it also!! Since it's kind of a short song.....maybe do a twofor??? Epic!

I absolutely love that ending. It's a brilliant ending to a brilliant song. It's like they have a chance to be in this trance-like dream as they repeat those chords over and over, with everybody doing more and more fills and going nuts, and then it's like there's this rising wind that takes forever to arrive, but it's relentless and then it's like it's combined with an insect storm, and like sand blowing through the desert, it nearly obscures the music and becomes the main focus and it's just so cool. It's so atmospheric and it's so cinematic. And then as the wind storm reaches the crescendo, the listener is nearly hypnotized by now, and it abruptly cuts off and leaves you hanging. It's such a mind-fuck and it's wonderful ear candy.

Love that you chose this song, so under appreciated.

55 years old and is still better than anything out today!

Marty McFly used the word "heavy" a lot in the Back To The Future movies.

Now I know where the writer of The Sopranos got the idea to end their show that way 😊

Yeah, the song intentionally ends abruptly. They were so innovative for the time and they were brilliant.

Static sound was a Moog synthesizer.

I love that you give us a few minutes of research. Makes you stand out for me! (Not to diminish your thoughts and insights, which are great to hear too)

they say the same thing over and over but every verse says something different. That's the beauty of this song. After playing word games in I am the walrus he decided to do the exact opposite here. True art.

This song has one of the most ULTRA-COOL VIBES, in my opinion....JUST....SO....GOOD!!! ENJOY!!!

Handsome, happy boy ❤

Pure rock and roll Baby!

👍👍Old school goodness! 🖖❤

First heavy metal song

Back in the 60s, if something was deep, it was called "heavy." You have a deep conversation with someone about something important, or you find out that your friend lost his job...it was "heavy, man.' It is John singing lead. Also, you have to be amazed because here the Beatles are singing and playing beautifully on a song John wrote as praise for Yoko....and they, very understandably, were not very happy about her or her self-insertion into the group and their studio time

Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

The ending simply takes one on their journey.

On this song Heavy = Phat. Also this song is Lennon ALL the way, he's talking about his obsession w Yoko. Nice to see your reactions. White Noise abrupt ending blew everyone's mind upon first hearing in 1969.

John Lennon wrote it, sings and plays lead guitar on this track. Heavy indeed. There's actually more to this song. Lennon told the engineer to just randomly cut it. That's why it ends suddenly.

The music style, is all John.

Lennon sang the lead vocals and used a Moog Synthesiser/white noise generator to create what I always thought was a like a jet plane taking off, and have always loved that and the way it ends abruptly. John said the song was about his deep love and reliance on Yoko, who was so heavy in the sense she gave him such a strong support when he was going through scary shit..

Something sad or bad Was heavy, man Back in the day... But it could also mean A great relationship

😊 Ringo was amazing

End side one. Get up and turn the record over. Side two starts with a beautiful song.

No, It's John singing

The tape ran out. But Lennon had the engineer stop it abruptly. It's just a coincidence that the last song on the other side of the album runs out and stop abruptly too.

"it's a vibe" - indeed, and a brilliant one

Paul is playing bass and harmonies while John sings lead George on lead guitar and of course Ringo on drums!

Hey Bulldog by them next. Paul’s bass will blow your mind.

My fav song of all their stuff!

John wrote and sings the song

Paul's bass is amazing .John is singing

You said you could just listen to the song instrumentally, and they gave it to you.

This whole album is a masterpiece... just when you play side 2 you must let it play in order and at 1 time... you wont regret it.

Ahead of their time ❤❤❤❤

Heavy back in the day had nothing to do with being fat. It's like saying she is way cool.

Try Yer Blues

Great reaction.keep digging .luv it..

Back in the day, this was the track you played after you dropped acid. Took on a whole life of its own. 😂🤣

A Boulder dropped in the ocean is heavy.

You have a nice commentary….thanks man.

If you're wondering about long Beatles tracks, the entire side 2 of Abbey Road is one song blending into another

I think Wes Montgomery inspired the guitar work on this; and he was inspired by the Beatles to do an album of covers. Yep, EVERY genre in western music can be found in their canon, and Eastern classical as well.

Top five Beatles Song for me !!!

Back in the late 60s early 70s heavy didn’t mean Weight men the closest I can think of today is like cool

More beatles pls

"I could listen to just the instruments" You gonna get that dw xD

it is actually Paul on bass, not john

Check out "Tomorrow Never Knows" on their Revolver album (last track)

Get Back final performance please. But i do love this song❤

Early 60s 2 min. songs were written to be on AM radio, late 60s FM radio would play longer songs. Cheech and Chong did a comedy album Big Bambu that had a skit about FM DJs.

Its a Moog in the back

that incredible voice could only be John Lennon.

1st ✌️

Slang from the 60's. Abbey Road is also the recording studio.

This song ended like the last episode of the Sopranos 😎👍

Billy Preston the 5th Beatle And black ....Check out Eddie Murphy's Saturday night live skit as the 5th Beatle

You should listen to "Isnt it a Pity " long version from George Harrison, it just over 7 minutes, and it has the same kind of long outro as this one

This is one example of John placing more importance on the instrumentation than the lyrics. It was usually the other way around.

I loved this and your reaction! When will you get around to John Lennons ...Mind Games (official video)??? Come on! Hurry up lol I can't wait any longer lol💕✌️

It's John singing

Paul McCartney on bass left handed

I don't know if it's coincidental but this song has elements that remind me of what Miles Davis was doing at around the same time with Fusion Jazz, as in Bitches' Brew. And while not having what sounds like a funk bass line, it also has a funk-like feel to it. But in keeping with its name, it's certainly heavy, about as heavy as rock sounds got at the time. Gotta wonder how much Pink Floyd was influenced by it as they were already doing heavier tracks like Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun and Careful With That Axe, Eugene, but I can see how albums like Dark Side and The Wall might have been influenced by it, even Meddle.

They were using a Moog synthesizer to make the ‘white noise’ cacophony you’re hearing. John is singing about Yoko, his new wife. The organ was played by the amazing Billy Preston, some call the 5th Beatle!

the end of 'she's so heavy' is doom metal before it had a name

This shits evil 🤘

This song is even an antecedent to doom metal.

More beatles plss

It's johm singing lead vocal

I can't believe you still aren't using earbuds😮

I believe there was a suggestion the track should fade to white-noise but John was dead against the idea of a Beatles song turning into "noise".... Personally I think that was a mistake but... still in my top 5 Beatles tracks❤

I've always thought helter-skelter was 1 of the 1st hard rock precursor to heavy metal songs in the 50s Think about that Have you heard that guitar? Or the song even? Next must play!

Love the reaction, however there was a weird wind sound coming thru like your mic was near a large fan

Just ends like that. Maybe George Martin, the producer?

❤️🇮🇹🤘

Harmony

Paul on bass, John on lead vocal. I'm not certain, but thinking it's a Lennon-McCartney song, with heavy (no pun intended) influence from John. No one in the band was better at communicating gut-wrenching emotional pain than John.
