THE BEATLES SHE'S LEAVING HOME REACTION 

More than JUST a song! Paul wrote it based on an article in the Newspaper, Brilliant

This song cries out for understanding both sides. Post-war parents who struggled against backgrounds of losses and deprivation and a child wanting more space to express herself. There is no one, easy answer, only a need for love and compassion from all.

There's s very hard edge to this song. It's beautiful but chilling.

The back and forth between Paul and John on the chorus is just beautiful.

Macca wrote this aged 24! This is just an example of how great The Beatles were at songwriting

This is not a popular Beatles tune but one of my favorites. There is not a wasted syllable in the entire song. The economy of lyric is masterful.

Unbelievable song, but then it’s The Beatles. Harmonies incredible!

This song is a two-edged sword, the unreasonable pressures on an only child and subsequent need for secret escape, and the realization of the parents that the love and upbringing of their only child was flawed to the point of tragic separation. An extremely poignant and sensitive song by Mr. McCartney.. A story that needed to be told, and was done exceptionally by Paul.

I bought this album when I was 19 and was of course stunned by its brilliance. I'm now 74 and the songs seems to have grown in stature and significance every year since when they were first released to an unsuspecting public.

As soon as the first violin hits I'm toast.

That is why the music of the The Beatles are really timeless , they are really genius and very talanted band in our history !

The harp and the strings stir emotions along the chorus and leading vocal, what a sad, sad song and a most beautiful musical arrangment! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I had never ever in my life thought that a Beatles song would make me cry 'till I heard this song for the first time in my life two hours ago and to this point I'm still heart broken 💔😭 I just can't believe that up to today I'd skipped on this beautiful and unbelievably sad song.

She's Leaving Home such a beautiful song. One of the best the Beatles did. Tells a complete story.

Fun is the only thing money can't buy...

The Beatles music is powerful and magical new generations will see how great they are as their music is timeless

Not a lot of people can make it through this song w/out tearing up.

When I 1st heard this song as a child in the early 70's, I was moved at how touching it was..now as a parent of 2 young boys, I listen and have tears in my eyes as I hope I'm doing good as a father and that my boys feel they have enough from me that when they do leave, it's not for a reason that I failed them in anyway...incredibly powerful what McCartney did with this song..from the lyrics to the drama of the strings when the mother realizes her baby is gone to John's singing of "fun is the one thing money can't buy".. these guys were the best..

This is a fictional song about a 17 year old who runs away from home to join the hippie scene in swinging London in 1967. This song was very in tune with what was happening a lot in the UK and here in America at the time. Great vocal by McCartney but what really makes it for me is Lennon's interjections on the chorus singing the role as an outsider looking in like a voyeur looking in on the situation. With his lines like "We never thought of ourselves, never a thought for our selves" and at the end when Paul hits the word "fun" and John comes back with "Fun is the one thing that money can't buy" the lyrical genius of John Lennon. Great job by both Paul and John on this song and just one of many examples of why the Lennon/McCartney partnership was and still is the greatest songwriting duo in history. ☮️✌️💕

No crime in crying to this song. This is Paul McCartney's love of family gone to a tragic place. A masterpiece and real tear-jerker. Much love to you.

Masterpiece!

Thank you beautiful lady stay blessed

A very special song from a very special album by a very special band.

A fully realized song of generational breakdown. Beautiful arrangement by Mike Leander. I love the lyrical homonyms by, buy and bye. A classic!

This is only one of two Beatles songs that they never played an instrument on the other is Eleanor Rigby

They gave her everything money could buy, but not enough love and understanding.

They, her parents, gave her 'everything that money can buy'... Except the love that she craved.

This isn't just a song this is a song born of a real life situation he read about in the paper . A girl he met way back in early beatlemania the Beatles always wrote about life around them as well as personal experience.my sis and I had this happen to us caring parents so hard trying to get over The war they were there but never said I love you we never got any backing my sis and left home first chance

if there was ever such things as musical gods.the beatles certainly fit that description.even if you dont like the beatles, your favorite artist probably loves them, with good reason.

Analyze Spoonful from the Live CReam version on Wheels of Fire. It is 16:54. The straight out playing is better than Hendrix, and any live playing by Page.

A classic by a genius Paul with the Beatles❤

In the song, the parents say they gave her everything money could buy, while she is thinking "money is the one thing that money CAN'T buy!" This song is a statement about what we called "the generation gap," which led to many young people leaving their parents' home in the 60s. I was one, who "ran-away" from home at age 14 to live among the "hippie" youth that were congregating at both urban and rural locations where "the action is." It was both an adoption of hippie values and a necessary rejection of parental mainstream norms.

Eleanor Rigby might be another tune you would be interested in listening to, as the emotional aspect is similar. Thank you for sharing!

It's just a sad part of life ... when children grow up and leave home. Most parents aren't ready for the separation and it's sad for both sides. It's just a necessary part of growing up. The child knows they have to leave to grow up and the parents know they have to let go ... But boy is it hard!

What a beautiful reaction from a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul! The Beatles was pure geniuses.Period.

Paul played this for Brian Wilson - they both wept also. it's not that sad though because it ends with "She's having fun - something that was always denied"

I loved this song when l was young. It moved me to tears. A musical narrative of my life feeling unloved.😪

I remember this song being a great test for audio equipment. If you had a cheap record player or loudspeakers, the harp at the beginning was distorted. 😂 My first time hearing the harp undistorted was after the invention of the CD, when using headphones on a brand new and hopelessly overpriced CD player. 😅

It's the Death of a loved one 😢

A song made in heaven ! God bless you Paul

É a 3a que chora ao ouvir o filho de Mother Mary cantar essa obra prima.

This is about the generational difference in the 60's between parents and their more adventurous children as society became more free and less oppressive

The “Reason” she has for leaving?? It’s right there in the final lyrics! “She’s leaving home after living alone for so many years.” No mystery. There it is.

I love the Beatles. This is one of many reasons why.

Beatles are brilliant and hypnotizing 🐞🐞🐞🐞+🍎🍏🍎🍏= Beatles

You have to push them away as long as they know you love them and they are welcome home

A baby boomer, the 17 year old. Raised by the WWII generation, what went wrong?

It was a time when social commentary and observation were beginning to become more predominant in the lyrics of pop music. The Beatles were on the cutting edge of this movement. With the release of 'Sgt Pepper...', they effectively left every other musical act in the dust. This song originated from an article Paul had seen. He brought the song in and he and John finished it up in the studio.

Her parents provided everything for her except Love....they Bought her everything....and thats why she ''lived alone for so many years''....she didnt get any Love ....but she got everything else....and all she wanted was them......and they never gave her themselves......so...she left to find her own Love.

She was leaving to get some D. The parents thought that she had everything but she was growing up and felt ready to leave. The song is based on a story Paul read in the papers and he wrote a song about it. A few days later she talked to he parents and made the mistake of letting them know where she was. They drove over to her location, met her and hauled her into the car, kidnapping her and taking her back home.

Enny are you ok there? I know this songs breaks people up when they hear it for the first time. The girls name was Melony Cole (or Coe sorry for the spelling) There is a video of her telling the story about this song was about her. I would say she was kind of a poor little rich girl who's parents gave her material things but she just felt alone because they did not really spend quality time with her. That's just the way I saw it

one of my faves from srg peppers

'She's leaving home after LIVING ALONE FOR SO MANY YEARS'. They gave her stuff, but didn't know her...

Apparently, this song is difficult for a first hearing video. The egocentric parents in every line show that everything is about themselves, and there is little room for the daughter’s fun, or anything else. The mother, first recognizing the daughter may be gone, shows the parents’ narcissism early on with ironic line, “We never thought of ourselves.” Isn’t that what the line is immediately doing? I have always wondered why the Beatles chose the word “fun” (as the only thing money can’t buy) instead of love or something else. Perhaps, it is a commentary of how their own success was increasingly becoming less and less fun?

Just quality.

It’s all about love and loss, it always is. Lovely😢

The key to the song is "...something inside that was always denied for so many years..." Not things. Love. Personal recognition.

only Beatle song no Beatle plays an instrument on this, imagine hearing this in '67

"Fun is the one thing that money can't buy"

Reason for her leaving is stated in the lyrics. It was clear to all of us in that generation. Seems that today's genaration is a bit dumb and numb.

💕💕💕

Beatles for ever!!!!!

You are one of the few women reactions who seem to get it. Good job listening

A masterpiece of Paul and John only BrianWilson and 10CC are close to them

Always tutch me this song because I can feel percent's pain

Try and listen to this masterpiece by The Annalogues.

I saw them in 1060 before they were famous Ringo was the drummer at my local dance hall

I wonder how many people realize this is a waltz.

Love is something that can't be bought. It is priceless.

It's beautiful seeing her reaction. I was very young when this album came out. I did not appreciate this song as a kid. The longer I've lived the meaning of this song has changed . I tear up every time I hear it

How cd you play a Beatles song online ??

Fantastic talent

Nice! Ichkeria!

You want to KNOW why The Beatles were SO Influential?? Seeing this Lady's face speaks volumes as to how the Fab4 took the listener to another level of emotion..

Lovely , heartfelt reaction. Listen young lady, yes it weas a song, "just a song" But your emotions, they were real, as real as anything can ever be. Never regrest to fell emotion nor to share them with us...thsy help to keep us truly human...to have compassion, empathy...to feel the connection between all of us. Thank you for giving so much of yourself...

been there, did it....rough memories

They grow up and they leave

Poetry put to music

gun fire at 3:38

Good show

The song was Paul’s idea. The song is based on a true story he read in the newspaper. The girl’s name is Melanie Coe, she was 17 when she ran away with her boyfriend.

Beautiful reaction, fantastic song from this great band ❤

Als ich dieses Lied zum ersten Mal gehört habe, war ich auch total mitgenommen. Sehr gefühlvoll! Und der Gesamg ist einfach wunderschön. John's Stimme noch schöner.

Great reaction from a beautiful person!

Fing Beatles man

This is indeed a weird white guilt fed phenomenon going on across all traditionally fair skin folk's music. Nothing wrong with it, just find the sudden abundance of reviews odd.

I think we all know what this song is about. Beautiful off the xxx
