Reacting to 3 Beatles Songs 

Listening to the beatles through a phone speaker is crazyy

Within You, Without You and While My Guitar Gently Weeps were both written and sung by George.

You really need to listen to the Beatles with headphones. It’s a very different experience

Listening to the Beatles from a tiny speaker. No headphones on to hear at its meant to be. I am speechless.

As soon as someone presets your experience with, “oh, you’d definitely cry at this” or “this is the best thing ever”, more often than not, the experience never lives up to yr expectations. Hopefully you enjoyed the song. Something to consider is that The Beatles were what, around 24 yrs old, and they are making a song about a girl leaving home with some quite deep emotions. They were so ahead of their time and the sheer diversity in the songs chosen just in this video, shows how experimental they were and why they remain the worlds and my favourite band!

What, like that, no earphones? No tears listening to it that way.

Thanks for the reaction. There’s no law that says you have to love the Beatles but give yourself a chance by using headphones instead of a tiny mobile phone speaker

George Harrison felt that John and Paul were not giving their best on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", so the next day he brought in his friend Eric Clapton to play the guitar part. And the rest of the lads, knowing they had a famous guest here, did a fantastic job with George's song. It is one of Harrison's greatest songs.

A Beatles song that is guaranteed to make someone cry In My Life. I am a mess when I hear that song it never fails to get me emotional.

3 Beatles songs per video is a good format. More please

hey really enjoyed this reaction video - the music comments were great but mixed with the digressions into discussion of elements of time were even more fascinating for me - more please ! (and I subbed btw)

She's leaving home is Paul. The other two are George songs. Maybe George speaks to you more. I appreciate your takes on this music. Look forward to more

Fixing a Hole is good. As an older adult, this lyric can be quite emotional - "I'm taking the time for a number of things, that weren't important yesterday."

Back in the 1960s, there were people listening through high fidelity stereo systems to get the best sound, and others with pocket-size transistor radios. Things are no different today.

'Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.' -Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

It would be interesting to know, what you normally hear... Yeah, there's no reason for me, to cry on She's leaving home either. But the track has an interesting backstory, because McCartney met this girl who left home, Melanie Coe, three years prior to this track on a Dance/Lipsnyc TV show, where she won the 1st prize her McCartney presented. He then read later the runaway story in a newspaper without knowing, that he met this girl in 1964, and made the song out of it, that is spectacular for 1967 with its arrangement. A time, when the Beatles were at the forefront of finally elevating pop/rock to an art form. Within you, without you is not the first sitar song by the Beatles, who recreated what is now called ethno-pop with such sounds. While me guitar..., Harrison's masterpiece with the Beatles (he also has others worth listening to), also shows his spiritual side, which he introduced quite dynamically into the Beatles' discography from 1965 onwards. Spiritual themes aren't my cup of tea either, but the song itself is musically a gem, for which Harrison managed to get Eric Clapton on lead guitar. Special relationship between the two... but one can read about that, if one are interested.

Just so you know, these songs (later Beatles-1966 and on) were designed to be listened to with headphones as they were very experimental. One misses out a lot just listening to them on 1 speaker, especially a phone output, which has no dynamic range, just high frequencies. But technically I guess you can say you "heard" these songs, at least the lyrics got through and can prompt reflection. Cheers.

There's a definite progression to The Beatles' music, from the early poppy stuff to the sophistication of Abbey Road. As The Beatles progressed, all of pop and rock music progressed with them.

Also , " Gently weeps " was written by George Harrison who also wrote " Within you " And Eric Clapton played the lead guitar on it. Maybe check out a brief history of The Beatles there's some good ones on RU-vid. :)

Happiness is a warm gun A day in a life Tomorrow never knows

I remember when I watched your other video I just got in to the Beatles and thought I was better then everyone and I feel SO bad about how mad I was at you- I actually have no memory of I commented or not but anyways I think it’s awesome you take the time to listen to them even though your not a huge fan :) I think George’s solo stuff (more specifically all things must pass) would be up your alley :D

Hi, I’m 70 years old and I’m a big beatles fan since the beginning. I want you to pay attention that the 3 songs are in 3 different styles, different vocal harmonies and different instrumentation. They were very eccletic and prolific and well succeeded songwriters. Perhaps the most well succeed from the pop and rock music. I like wha you have said about life , death and time. It’s good to think about it. But I have to say that you’ll never find any real answer, only conjectures or theories. Live well your life, be honest with you, have some good and reliable relationships and cultivate them with love and good communication, non violent communication for example. Learn to listen attentive to the others and to you. And live and accept reality as it is, because one day, maybe around the fifties, you’ll start to think that you have more time in the past then time in your future. So let’s live only the present and the reality. Music and love, creativity, and relationships will help us always.

On a little side note about your analysis about us and time try thinking about this: I took a forensics class where the professor told us we would be taking a tour of the county coroner's office and witness an autopsy in a month's time. It's strange to think about, but for the next few weeks I realized that I may have passed someone walking by who, in a few days may be dead and I'd be witnessing their autopsy. It was both creepy and bizarre to think about.

For me,"yesterday "was the most emotionally charged song. That was totally Paul's song

🤔...just wondering...how long... days...weeks...months...for the transformation into a BEATLEMANIAC?! ⏳

cool vid you should check out hey bulldog its a good track imo also should listen to you know my name (look up the number), its total ass but kinda funny sometimes also if you want more george songs i'd recommend taxman

While George was working on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Paul and John were working on their songs. George asked Eric Clapton to help out with the song. When Eric showed up in the studio, Paul and John dropped everything and helped out. Eric plays lead guitar on the song. Paul wrote the now iconic piano intro, played bass and backing vocals. John played rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Of course, Ringo was his usual metronome self and provided the percussion. Sgt. Pepper is still rated as one of the greatest albums. I think it was Roger Watters that said something like, "Pepper gave us permission to experiment." It is still my favorite album with Abby Road and Let It Be rounding out my top three.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of my favorites.

If you want sad! Try “for no one”, “Eleanor Rigby”, “ye blues” by the Beatles

Something for everyone on The White Album .

Loved it and im a gorge fan boy so i think you have great taste in music lol

You need listen Dear prudence I've got a feeling Helter skelter Dont let me down Revolution Tomorrow never knows

And George Harrison and John Lennon are two Beatles who not longer exist although you just heard both voices.

The Beatles songs listen to: Across the universe Let it be Yesterday Blackbird Hey Jude Don’t let me down I am the walrus Happiness is a warm gun Sexy Sadie And your bird can sing Ticket to ride Eight days a week Get back Two of us If I fell A hard days night Help Lucy in the sky with diamonds Can’t buy me love Twist and shout Hold me tight All my loving What goes on I saw her standing there I feel fine She loves you Solo careers: Paul- maybe I’m amazed/ let ‘em’ in/ live and let die/ silly love songs John- imagine/watching the wheels (acoustic version) George- got my mind set on you

Stumbled on your account. And saw your Abbey Road video. I think it’s a masterpiece, but what I liked about your video was that you were super honest. That’s refreshing. The only thing I’ll say is that it’s kinda nuts to listen to the Beatles for the first time on an average car stereo or your iPhone. The care they put into their recordings was so revolutionary, it’s best appreciated on a great stereo or good headphones.

Their first album, Please Please Me, gives only the slightest hint of where they're going to go. My favorite cuts on it are their first single "Love Me Do", which you could argue is kind of an average pop song aimed at teenagers, but you can still hear a certain sincerity, as if they know how silly the song is but they also know we can have fun with it. Speaking of silly the other song on that album I really like is the rock song "Boys", sung by Ringo, which is something they got from an American girl group. "Boys" is not much more than a minute long, but they rock it out for all they're worth. There's something slightly subversive about boys singing a song about boys like it's the most natural thing in the world, which shows you how The Beatles either weren't aware they were messing with convention or else just didn't care. After their poppy period ended with the album Help, every Beatles album and single after that, beginning with Rubber Soul, made you think, "Wow, I wasn't expecting that." All of this happened in the '60s, which possibly makes it a challenge to understand in 2023.

Everyone thinks their favourite music has universal appeal but it ain't necessarily so. While my guitar gently weeps is arguably their one epic rock song.❤️

I’am not sure about time but Albert Einstein said “The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." George Harrison( Beatle) said “There has never been a time when you haven’t existed and their will never will be a time when you don’t exist” On the Beatles: every song is different

I think the ways songs move us or make us cry or laugh truly depends upon where we are in our lives. And as much as I loved Here Comes the Sun…it was only after my Grandmother had passed when I heard the song over he radio…THEN I cried. Not everyone is going to immediately cry at the same song but yet at the same time the reason a song might reach someone is because it is deeply reflecting what’s happening in their own lives. It really depends on time and place and experience. There is a story that Lou Harrison told about how the Beatles saved a depressed young man’s life. How playing his parents records literally saved him… more to this. But it just makes one think… To be fair I think that’s the beauty of music…why does one song reach us or group And that may be different for different people…different music and artists, remembering that The Beatles themselves were inspired by and inspired different artists. Even as gen-x, I am continually amazed at all the different generations who love that music and not just in US but around the world. And maybe for any number of reasons even those older songs just happen to b heard when a person is in a certain time or place in their lives where EVEN now 60 years later the song is very meaningful to them. To be clear I appreciate current music and musicians as well. So maybe now for you it’s other types of music more. But isn’t music fascinating?

you have to react to the whole white album, it is for me the best or one of the best beatles albums

'Within you, Without you'.. If you aren't ready to release your mind, then you are not yet ready to feel Within you, Without you.

Also one of Claptons greatest solos in"While my guitar..."

Listen to the "Rubber Soul" LP.

The beatles always have their hits and misses, hardcore beatles fans just grow to like the misses. They have a pretty big discography, you should consider listening to it and finding the hits. That way you can at least say you listen to all the beatle songs and say that your opinion on the beatles is definitely valid because of it. And hey, you can milk them for views at the very least. Notable Beatle songs from the top of my head are, A day in the life, Strawberry Fields Forever, Hey Jude, and In my Life, but there are many more, even in their early works.

Phone speaker 🥴. Ok nice reaction. Glad you found one you really liked. Maybe do more.

Yep, it's true. Starting in a about 1965 the tracklists are filled with songs of diverse and eclectic character, styles, and genres. They were largely an album band . . . the collection was meant to be listened to as a journey. But they produced singles as well, which they didn't put on their albums.

Someone was asked if he was afraid of death and he said " no, I was dead before I was born ".

Tomorrow never knows

“A Day in the Life” from Sgt Pepper’s (it’s observational) and there is contrast in it. And more shadow. It is not as “light” as the title might lead one to believe. Also probably Glass Onion from White Album. And for heavier rock Helter Skelter In My Life but figure you’ve probably heard that. Same with Strawberry Fields. For folk vibes: “I’ve Just Seen A Face” off of Help. “Blackbird” and “Julia” on White Album.

You would like Across the Universe by the Beatles/John Lennon if you like TS Elliot.

She's Leaving Home... How many musicians can write from a perspective that isnt their own? Taylor Swift sings about her own heartbreaks. Paul McCartney sings so passionately from 2 different perspectives and neither are his own. And its not abstract, its totally relatable and clear. Everybody gets this song thats why its beautiful

Hi, interesting to hear your thoughts. As a massive Beatles fans we love albums and play them in their entirety but you seem to have more of a rock preference so may I suggest some Beatles songs that I think you would like? Hey Bulldog, Dear prudence, Back in the USSR, Blackbird, Helter Skelter, I me Mine, Get Back, Revolution (single fast version) And Your Bird Can Sing, I'm Only Sleeping, Here There and Everywhere, Paperback Writer, Day Tripper, Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey. I think you would like these songs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of georges best songs, the lead guitar on it was played by Eric Clapton Thanks for the upload

George Harrison wrote relatively few of Beatles songs before his solo career but the ones he did write are among the best.

If you listen to Sgt. Pepper at some point, its widely accepted that the 2009 remaster isn't very good, especially in headphones. The Super Deluxe version has the mono version of the album (which is the version the Beatles worked on and intended) as well as remixes intended for headphones that are based on the mono version. I'll admit, for the longest time I didn't like Sgt. Pepper as much as I thought I would, I've only recently come around on it. Though tbf I spoiled the ending for myself. Glad you at least enjoyed Gently Weeps, that's one of George's best.

Happiness is a warm gun Revolution A day in a life Tomorrow never knows

I think you are probably best starting your Beatles journey with their singles from the 1 album, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Hard Days Night, She loves you, the long and winding road, etc. rather than their deep meaningful songs, and their psychedelic songs. Search RU-vid and see how artists have covered Beatles songs including classical interpretations...the Beatles are arguably still the greatest pop/rock band in history by a country mile.

Some people listen to Beatles songs Then there are others that HEAR Beatles songs.

The greatest band of all time

Then lead guitar on While My Guitar Gently Weeps was played by Eric Clapton. John Lennon missed the session due to being involved in a car crash. George Harrison hated the Sgt. pepper sessions. It was Pauls concept and he and John dominated the album during the recording sessions.

Revolver would probably be one that you would enjoy based off what you said at the end. Maybe the White Album aswell.

Don’t let anyone bully you about your musical tastes! Musics either moves you, or it doesn’t. I’m a huge Beatles fan, but “She’s Leaving Home” is not one of Sir Paul’s best efforts. He’s got so many other great songs! Thanks for listening to the Beatles! 😁

While my guitar gently weeps was written by George Harrison & you should check out the playing of the song at a tribute to him . Prince played the ending guitar solo & he delivered an incredible performance

When this music came out in the 60's, people would buy the record album and play it on their home stereo, which produced a full sound, like you were actually in the studio with the performers. You could hear the harp and all the instruments in HiFi stereo, on large speakers that sounded amazing. You will not get the same impact from a two inch speaker in your phone. That is the worst way to listen to music for the first time. Get a good sound system!!!

My recommendations for you based on your preferences: Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey, Helter Skelter, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Norwegian Wood, Tomorrow Never Knows, Revolution (single version, not White Album), Across The Universe, and She Said She Said. My guess is that you’ll dig 80% of those.

For me, when it comes to the Beatles there are two things that always strike me. The first is that they went from 'Please Please Me' to 'Tomorrow Never Knows' in about 4 years. The second is that when they finished their final recording sessions, not one of them had attained the age of 40. They were simply an explosion of creativity that has never been equalled (and probably never will).

She's Leaving Home is a nice song, but there are better songs on Pepper. Fun fact: Paul read an article about a girl that ran away from home.....and that led to She's Leaving Home. Another weird fact: Paul actually met that girl three years before she ran away on a TV show. Within You Without You is a unique moment on Pepper, but not among my fave George songs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of George's better ones. That's Eric Clapton guesting on lead guitar. If you're interested: Here are three other cool Fab songs to check out.......Rain (Ringo says it's his best drumming ever....and it features Lennon's backward vocal at the ending) You Won't See Me (Paul being a diva) and One After 909 (great Lennon-McCartney duet) Enjoyed the video!

There is something for everyone in the Beatles.

I can't believe this is your first time listening to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? Listen to the Anthology version. It is special too.

You should listen to early Beatles stuff in order to get a grasp on how the Beatles changed the world and changed music forever.

Yes, everyone of my generation has to take care to NOT project your expectations of any Beatles songs on to any new listeners. They will discover them on their own, and either like it, or not.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen even if you aren't a fan of the Beatles, if anything it's more interesting to hear that take, and you always look for things to like. You're an interesting cat, just don't let expectations set you up for disappointment, it's just music:)

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is generally considered Harrison's 3rd best song. The other two are Here Comes the Sun and Something.

Nice take from TS Eliot- but this is also the idea of the fliw of life, which brings is into being and vibrates within us, but which will do the same in all that follow when we have fallen away..

Listening on the phone without earphones...?!

Love your honest opinions......you may like songs Revolution........Helter Skelter........she said, she said, ......Nowhere Man........those 4 would really fit your taste

Entropy! Time and progress toward chaos are linked, and possibly, interchangeable. Nice discussion. Attractive presentation given conditions. Good!✌️

DEEP THOUGHTS Yes, we are here for a moment, and we get to experience the Beatles, RU-vid, and so much more. And yes, time exists, whether we measure it or not. But think of this. We are time travelers. People ask if time travel is possible, but we're traveling through time right now. We're just all cruising through at the same speed. Some started long ago, and some haven't begun yet. We all get our few moments of existence on this earth. I think Heaven will be so amazing that RU-vid will not be exciting anymore. Just FYI. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a George Harrison song with Eric Clapton on lead guitar. There are many people who got to be called "the fifth Beatle". Eric was one of them. You're right, much variety. Think about it. From I Want To Hold Your Hand to Why Don't We Do It In The Road. You should listen to Halter Skelter, Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, and Sexy Sadie. Some wildly different songs. The first two a but on the harder side, and the second two on the softer side, but all very good songs. You should also check and see who wrote each song and who sings each song. You can't always tell by the credits, because anything written by John or Paul is listed as Lennon/McCartney. You'll have to do some research. They did write some songs together, but they also wrote many separately. Also, their producer, George Martin did many of the arrangements and played on some of the recordings. He had a lot to do with shaping their sound. They voted on everything. Everything had to be unanimous. The four of them decided what would be on each album. And, they wouldn't play venues that were segregated. They had to allow blacks into the concerts. At the time, that was a big deal. And another aside, Frank Sinatra was the same way. Just some interesting trivia. I hope you continue to listen and find more gems

i think you'll enjoy the Revolver album more, such a classic!

George practiced Hindu-ism for most of his life. He was very in to meditation and mantra

I like your honesty

Regarding learning the Beatles. You have to start at the beginning, go all the way through and know that many of their biggest hits were not on their albums. So you have to listen to the singles in the right timeline too. That's what they did in those days. They were ahead of the curve at every step. That is the key thing you need to know what else is around at the moment they were creating each thing to appreciate how far and fast they were pushing everything forward.

Aye welcome back!

Have few more suggestions you may consider listening too. "I've got a feeling" "Norwegian wood" "Strawberry fields forever" " I'm so tired" A few artists covered beatles songs and i think you may like these: " i want to hold your hand" by TV Carpio. "With a little help from my friends" by Joe Cocker. "Hey Jude" by Wilson Picket " Across the universe " by actor Jim Sturgess. "Girl" by Chris de Burgh...................A couple of Beatles rockers to check out, "Helter skelter" There is a book called helter skelter about Charles Manson. And the song "Money"

You're doing great! Just being open to suggestions or earlier music like the Beatles, you need to be commended. "I", find it hard to listen to Rap and other music of today and don't feel I could be as open minded as you are. That's a big thing that I admire about you and your comments. I too like Pink Floyd ~ Some of their music can get repitious, but I over look that and move with the thought process (words & music) the group delivers.

Hey, this is the first channel where I hear a clear & honest reaction and it's great! You're so sweet! Please listen the Beatles with good headphones!! If you want to listen to some rock/blues songs by The Beatles you can eventually listen to: Everybody's got Something to Hide Expect for Me and My Monkey, Yer Blues, Helter Skelter, Revolution, Taxman, Set Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the reprise too) and on... If you want some sweet songs I can suggest you: I Will, Blackbird, Julia (this is a bit said), Goodnight, Here There and Everywhere, Michelle and on... For psychedelic songs: Being for the Benefit of Mr Kyte, Srawberry Field Forever, Magical Mystery Tour (it's a bit rock tho'), Tomorrow Never Knows... And on... Cheers!!

You should listen to Revolver

T.S. Eliot?!! - the physics of the universe somewhat! You are full of surprises. Can we chat? Would like to share a project I have with you if you’re interested Larry

The song you prefered the most has the glowing performance of Eric Clapton, one the most famous rock guitarists of all time!

Don' panic. Considering the Beatles have not been a group for over 50 years, great you find a few songs you like. You may like these: " You've got to hide your love away" " I am the walrus" "Don't let me down" "Tomorrow never knows" "Dig a pony" " Get back" "Happiness is a warm gun" "Savoy truffle" " Dear Prudence" " Old brown shoe" "Cry baby cry" " Hey bulldog" "Why don't we do it in the road" "Ticket to ride" "Taxman" "Love you to" "A day in the life"........................just saying.

Think for yourself is another gorge harrison beatles song with the same vibe as my guitar

No headphones?

I much prefer the mono version of SLH OR the 2017 Sgt. Pepper remix. Seek out the Giles Martin remixes. They sound FAB. Paul's voice is just right on SLH but sounds lower and slower on the version you listened to. I believe they slightly sped it up on the original mono and the 2017 remix, which used the mono version as a template.

Girl. If you listened to 'Dark Side of the Moon' on your phone, do you think you would really get the most out of the songs? You need headphones.

Guys… she clearly doesn’t like Beatles much or in an obvious way of seeing: she does not like at all.. and that is it 😂 it happens. Rare and seldom, but happens.

You should defnitely listen to Revolver - THAT you would like. If you can't be bothered to listen to the whole thing - pick out random tracks, they're all great Definitely love tuning in to your reactions to Beatles songs (with or without glasses)

Oh and time is real, it is a dimension. It differs to our 3 dimensions only in the sense that it exists only in one direction

Hooked another one John. Put her over here Paul. OK. Switching gears. You're in the Now. You have space. Height, width, depth. Matter: liquid, solid, gaseous. And time: past, present, future. Imagine this is all in a safe with a combination lock holding it inside. There nothing else around. Someone or something had the ability to access and open the lock.

More 3 beatles songs pls

How can you expect to be moved by anything listening to great music on a friggin' phone? You are setting yourself up to confirm your expectations.

She likes those George songs, i do too
