FIRST TIME LISTENING The Beatles - In My Life REACTION 

So true

John was actually 22 when he wrote this song shortly after the death of Stuart Sutcliffe. The song was written specifically for Pete Shotton.

Indeed, sadly the weight of a heavy heart is said to be immeasurable 💔 ⚖ 🌎 🏋 😣😞😔

I'm glad John died he was a horrible man

@@isopropyltoxicity damn ight bruh, I'm sure there's a fair amount of people saying the same thing about you at the end of your rope, so ya take what ya give I suppose

Most who dislike their music are lying.

Yes please! Their anthology of music is vast! There’s something for everyone!

Let´s remember the Beatles existed on the 60s, a very racially segregated time. Even though the Beatles themselves aimed for multiracial crowds, (Although there were exceptions) black people listened to black artists and white people listened to white artists. When the segregation officially (although not practically) ended, kids were passed their parent´s idols who were the same race as them, plus the artists they followed were still their same race. Of course there are always exceptions but that´s they way it happened and only a few artists managed to break the color barrier and have fans from different races (Michael Jackson for example). Also, black people grew apart from rock n roll when white people took over, and focused on other genres that were still predominantly black. So yeah, it´s not a surprise many black people never listened to the Beatles other than the usual hit that featured in a movie or radio just like white people overall don´t know or know too little about artists who were huge on the black community at the time.

I disagree. My group listened to black artists most often. You forget how Motown crossed the divide.@@bryangalaviz2601

It is John Lennon singing LEAD because John Lennon WROTE it.

That was actually me in the future, timetraveling.

At the end John was singing the high note but when harmonizing Paul typically sings the higher notes bc he had the wider range. Where George would typically sings lower notes.

@@jnagarya519 ok?

@@evan1430 It is easy to determine who wrote a Lennon-McCartney song, in whole or part, by who sings the lead. Too few mention the song "This Boy," which is unfathomable. John, the "rocker," wrote it. And he said the song "Yes It Is," which he hated, was an effort to rewrite "This Boy," but that it didn't work. (Still a great vocal.)

Exactly. And for Van, the lead on that vocal was John Lennon but he and McCartney were pretty much a team all the time; they had played together since the equivalent of junior high school over here.. And George Harrison can sing backing vocals and Ringo Starr had a few hits singing lead vocal along the way. Him being the drummer.

I am an 80' s kid and feel flattered kids today enjoy the artists of my era as well. Where does time go?

For the best harmony "She's Leaving Home" - Paul's best song.

@@kenchristie9214 another good one

don't forget "Because" (try a capella version from LOVE album)

Watch the videos of Paul in concert. When they start up a Beatles song, the crowd knows it on the first note. They know the melody, the words, the instrumentals by heart. Even people born way after the breakup. But on that first note people light up! The excitement is palpable. The smiles on the faces are evidence. The Beatles were like magic. Just something about them, about those songs. It's an amazing phenomenon that has not been seen since. It will be a sad day when Paul can't do concerts anymore. (and we are very close to that day) He's kept the legacy alive. It will live without him. But when they are all gone it will be very sad. People can cover Paul's songs, John's and George's songs. But it's not the same.

With this one incredible band....Liverpool proved itself one of the most important musical cities of all time!

The Biebs gives them a run for their money

@@mam362 lmao I had to read that twice. You’re joking right

@@mam362 Hardly

Biggest selling ARTISTS of all time bar none .No one will ever beat their record sales .

And about a million more to choose from

People grow up in different cultures and experience different artists/music etc. It's not a fault of anyone for not knowing the names of the Beatles. Educate don't berate.

I'm 25 from England, although I knew the beatles (obviously) and the members, I only really found the beatles last July. Changed my music outlook. People find them at different times in their life

How can you younger people not know? Are you serious? It may come as a shock to you, but young people are not born with a preloaded brian. Every one of us learns a little more as we groe and if we're fortunate, perhaps we can benefit from other folks who might be willing to share their knowledge to help guide us along the way. Can you dig? 😎👍

John was more in a middle register but he could reach high notes as well, like in Twist and Shout, Mr. Moonlight or Don’t Let Me Down, or Happiness is a Warm Gun, but he usually felt better in a lower register.

No actually it was a piano played by George Martin at half speed, so that when they played it back at the normal speed it sounded like a harpsichord. I have listened to The online MASTER CLASSES on the Beatles, and they played that tape of the piano at slow speed, and then how it sounded on the record. Truth.

You're not the only one, when I first bought their lp RUBBER SOUL the week it was released ( I was 19 then) I said to my friends that I wanted it played at my funeral, still do. Over the years I have seen and heard many other people, usually Beatles fans like myself, say the very same thing.

And Pete best

There first drummer was Pete best
