The Hidden Voice in The Last Beatles Song | I Want You (She's So Heavy) 

@@CB-xr1eg no need to be rude. Well alas I have been told I dont have a brain sometimes.🖕

@@lillyanne7277if you didn't have a brain you wouldn't be alive so that isn't possible

As well as nick some of George's biscuits and then sit on his amplifier. George was reportedly miffed.

ibanez gsr 200 Ringo got yelled at one time

Someone should have yelled at Yoko: "Get the hell out of the studio- this is for members of the band only!"

Thank you! Lolol this video is so silly 😂

Geejae: as is your childish comment

I heard it when playing my music ungodly loud back in the day. Just chalked it up to artistic expression. The Beatles always threw random stuff into their music. That's what I like. Cookie cutter music blows. No big deal. No conspiracy. Just cool music.

All you need is LOVE

The Doors have plenty of ghost shouts, and improvised in such a way that you’d think it was planned out like that.

I'm sure, being ahead of their time, the Fab4 smoked some reefer on 4/20/69.

Ringo is SO overlooked 😭

@@FABCASTLE Most the time overcooked

@@FABCASTLE huh…overlooked by whom.???

​@@FABCASTLE bloody hell for a drummer he's not overlooked! Probably most famous drummer ever FGS!

Only “follows” directly if you don’t have to flip over the record 😉 I’m half joking but truly it’s something to be considered.

@@feelthejoy Quite. It dd matter that you had to turn over the record

Besides being a beautiful song, Here Comes the Sun is very interesting from a musical perspective. The bridge has time signatures like 11/8 which is very unique in western music and was influenced by George’s interest in Indian music.

he also talks about that in one of his other videos i’m pretty sure edit: here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aCbsnnKlQHE.html

It's the guide vocal bleeding through the drums. One assumes they overdubbed the lead vocals.

when I listened to this, as a kid, I always thought it was spontaneous. Of course, most kids believe that songs are just played in their current state. Now, as adults, we realize that additions are constantly made in the studio. The Beatles learned to utilize this feature. So, when we're listening to a song which had been planned for months, recorded in 45 takes, and fragmented, it all sounds like a spontaneous recording.

I'd heard it as well, I thought they were saying something like "yeah" matching the guitar key, like the guitar takes over the note.

I imagine that most of us have heard this 'hidden' voice for decades (for me since 1969 ~;-) - but this is an interesting video none-the-less.

literally my moms favorite thing to say about the beatles; 'they were like no other band and there will never be another like them.'

Same in the Queen comment section lol

Jay Does Everything queen were their own iconic band, the Beatles were more iconic than Queen, though (in my opinion), since the Beatles paved the way for bands like Queen. Queen are still great though.

@@natinthehat7700 i was talking about the people in the queen community they say that too their unique

@Japanese Flying Squirrel Still a far cry from modern boybands, or even the Monkees. The Beatles had their own story, they formed independently, and then adopted that whole image with the suits and everything in the early 60s, the haircuts a bit earlier than that. They wrote their own songs and they found each other and decided to get together and play some music. The Beatles were not the result of a record label looking to make money getting random good-looking musicians and giving them songs to perform as a band all of a sudden. The only thing even remotely manufactured about them was Brian Epstein suggesting they wear those famous suits so associated with their early 60s period now. But the thing is pretty much every successful band ever has had a look, a certain style. There is always some sort of cohesion visually between the members. The Beatles weren't the first or the last to do that, and if that makes them manufactured, practically every successful band ever is manufactured.

True... maybe. But maybe it's that music has stagnated since Beatles left the room.

@@SM-mb9bm yeah i agree

This does seem like a grunge song….

@@mattthompson9340my guy has never heard a grunge song 😭😭😭

@@GameyRaccoon It's more like grunge copied this rhythm section

It was John's idea to cut the tape. Paul hated it as with the white noise.

Yes, that abrupt stop is fantastic!

@@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH wrong

@@brandonbrandon2822 it may be wrong for you but it’s right for me….

@@brandonbrandon2822 No you are wrong. The only other thing they could have done is fade out slowly but the quick cut off followed by Here Comes The Sun is perfect. A fade out with the static/white noise wouldn't have sounded right.

Yeah

The vocal ID isn’t that identifiable, but this sounds very probable. I can hear that. Paul always had a habit to sing whatever part he was focusing on.

That's it!

This is common. Jazz pianists vocalize their solos all the time. Perhaps Paul didn't expect that track to be used for the final, and he was still working it out?

@@dougdrazga4461 Could be, but I suspect that he's just diggin' on the emphasis of that particular bass riff.

Back then rock fans were still in the minority as the many of the old guard were only middle-aged (as well as approaching middle-age).

I love The Beatles as much as the next fan, but a lot of their songs really are just noise.

If you're disturbing the peace, you're disturbing the peace. It doesn't matter if it's Bach or Mozart.

Nothing about having balls, have you ever been in a recording session, I have as a roadie for a band, it gets a bit much after 6 hours and somebody wanting to sleep so they can go to work the next day has a valid reason for complaining about a city studio making noise till dawn.

I’m surprised that the studio wasn’t better soundproofed, which they needed to keep outside noise from being hear inside. Also, I really don’t think most bands play at loud “corvette” volume while recording. It would distort the recording and make the VU meters spike excessively. Abbey Road, still a gem of a record. Bravo!

Wow! I wish I was there! We’re y’all stoned!? Lol.

@@gaylealleluia8392 The Beatles were, that's for sure.

Yes, I was into psychedelia by then and had left my juvenile Beatlemania behind. Or so I thought. But they kept putting out remarkable albums up to and including Abbey Road. They were hard to ignore. Then they went out with the forgettable Let It Be. What a mistake.

It was crushing for many of us when the suggestion was floating around. They went on to give us their individual talents. They left their legacy for us to share with our descendants.

@@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH Let it be is one of their greatest albums bruh.

@@gameplays4071 the rooftop stuff is great and there's a few good songs otherwise but it's nothing compared to the rest of the albums. I think of it more like bonus tracks than an album, and it's incredible for what it is.

This song rocks so hard

lol

Why is this so funny to me lmao

And I know thats true because I was in the drum with everate and he was trying to tell me to move over. But sadly Im particularly deaf and blind due to ringos knee repeativly hitting my forehead

Oh how I believe u

That's amazing.....

I got those same comments in the late 70’s...and in fact, when John had been murdered, only a few were affected by his death as compared to me.

In the nineties when I was in high school my friend approach me and asked me if I heard Norwegian wood and it amazes me that he was into the Beatles and we were listening to Nirvana and Pearl jam and Alice in chains

When I was 14 or 15 KISS were the biggest thing in the world, every other kid at school was all into them. Me, I was busy listening to all The Beatles I could get my hands on.

I bet your classmates listen to Niki Minaj or some bullsh*t music

@@TheAndreseao i dont think they listened to niiki minaj in the nineties

Imagine a bunch of people at a swanky mid-century cocktail party, clinking glasses around a bean-shaped pool, and in the back of the minds of every one of them, they know the specter of nuclear annihilation hangs over them.

And at the end- an abrupt stop!

Wow, that’s an awesome family connection! You Uncle Bob was a legend and left such a huge influence on music history. Thanks for sharing!

@@YouCantUnhearThis Hi. You're right, I suppose he did play a part in the history of modern music, but when it's a member of your own family, it's just "Uncle Bob" if you know what I mean? Or in our case, "Just Uncle Bob making lots of weird noises from his hand-built workshop/studio at the bottom of the garden"! I think what we're most proud of as a family, is that he refused to patent 95% of what he invented, because he felt the whole of the music world should be able to make use of his invention. But we're still very proud (and often get quite sentimental), whenever we see pop and rock artists, standing behind a keyboard carrying our family name, in front of thousands on a televised concert or wherever. I do apologise for going off the original subject and rambling on. Have a lovely day and please stay healthy and safe in these troubled times.

Thats so awesome! What a cool part of history to have had as a part of your family. And thank you for sharing this.

@@esperanzahewitt8280 Professor Moog synthesized the replacement.

The truth has been spoken

I never could hear it

I never heard it to begin with, being half deaf might be why, not sure.

Lol. The scream in Love Rollercoaster by the Ohio Players is something you can never unhear. Its just creepy.

Just checkin' to see if you've forgotten about that 'ghost' vocal "MAGOG BROMINE CHAMBER" google that , it's really something you won't forget in a hurry.

stuart houselander I’ll never forget how shitty that album was. I sat there waiting for any tiny bit of redeeming audio and I never found it. What a waste of time

Yes. Listen to the Something vocals isolated and you'll hear him singing along with the guitar solo.

It’s definitely paul singing the bass line

It does, and it wouldn’t be unusual since he always did that.

I would call it... Mimicking the harmony which he was trying to duplicate with the bass line. Struggling to find the harmony in vocals and instruments is a wonderful thing the Beatles mastered. I wish I could.🙄🤣👍🥃

He always do that. Sometimes you see him humming the chords, like "D minor hm hm C la la" and so on.

Macca?

My first reaction was "sounds like Paul"

I never did hear that voice.

Sounds like my memory.

wuh ... huh?

My mom (born in 1929) loved them too. She also liked led zeppelin, van Halen, queen, Ozzy Osbourne, and a long list of others . She could tell you her favorite song of probably 30 or more rock bands. Tell you some of the members of them. She took me to see van Halen in 1982, went in and watched the show. Her favorite queen song was "tie your mother down". The beatles had too many good ones for her to pick just one. RIP mom. Sure do miss that girl.

I like your pfp and taste in music

😆

How many people have given you props on having HAL as your avitar. Sweet...

@@PGeorge61 it's constant lemme tell you

@@nateds7326 lol...a price must be payed for greatness....😜

John plays lead on this song

Too funny!

Yeah, Yoko made it a lousy record

John & George both played & recorded multi- rythym tracks ( arpeggios & heavy ascending/descending riff) I suspect George plays lead guitar on the intro only, the solo in the middle is all John.

That's cute.

Same here. I'm 54, and although I think I've probably heard this song "very infrequently" over the decades, if I'd heard it, I never really heard it enough for it to register in my brain consciously, till sometime this past year or so. Decades ago, before I was online, there would have simply been no way to look it up later, even if I could have remembered enough lyrics from the radio to do so. I gave up on "modern music" in 1983 at age 16, because of the mounting ratio of crap (in both country and rock et al), to good music. And vowed from that day forth, to ONLY listen to the Oldies. The Oldies being roughly defined by myself then as anything older than 16, lol. Or perhaps younger, but a great song from the 70s, which I hadn't heard till it was a few years old. And I kept my word. And from spot checks now and then in the decades since, I certainly haven't missed much. And by only listening to great music, from the two/three decade Golden Age of Music (50s thru the 70s, with some 80s added carefully) as opposed to "new music" of indiscriminate or more often nonexistent quality, my earworms are now, uniformly fantastic! And the earworms now include this song from time to time. I'm still discovering new music, that although it is old chronologically, is new to me. And a few (very few) newer songs that make the grade. Life is just too short to listen to crap music, just for the unimportant reason that it is new. As a farm lad, I knew then, as I know now, that being "fresh and new" definitely does NOT improve anything that can be defined as being a form of feces. Whether it is from a cow, a horse, a dog, or feces from a music studio. Being fresh and new, just makes feces worse and less tolerable. Which is a fact the so-called music industry does not want you to think about that hard. 😂

Listen to the album in its entirety. I’m hoping you’ve done this and experienced the full emotional journey

Nobody said it was anything more than that.

Haha it does sound exactly like that

I think the original poster finally got some decent gear to listen on. Stuff like this all over many records, just get some HiFi gear, good pressings, and critical ears.

Its the Beatles. Its never not a big deal. Haha.

Wish I would’ve seen this before I started damn. Respect

You never know

I dunno sounds pretty legit

that was funny.

😂🤣😂🤣😂

@Kwenz Landah pal, do you think you are his friend?

Holy crap it actually does..

Haha

HAHAHAHA

Yeah, .. I gotta fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell

No, it's "Paul is dead!"

What do you mean interpreter?

Sorry!!! I ment performers as well as composers, etc. They were so complete as musicians!

@@cynthiaberenguer2188 you can edit comments by the way

Ringo has perfect timing. The heart of the instrumentals.

Wow, that's high praise. Thanks for watching!

SteliosSeven no

What about Hollyhobs? He's also really good at Beatles video essays.

I'm a big fan of Hollynobs! Fab Four Archivist is another excellent Beatles channel worth checking out: ru-vid.com/show-UCxWFyPG8Qgj-1BVqC_r6rLg

@@YouCantUnhearThis Definitely deserved though. I really appreciate your dedication and detective work through such subtle parts of the song. And the videos are always such high quality. Keep up the great work!

matt p ya it's the bob wills influence in him.😎 Ahh Haaaa...

Not Paul he been put the band 4 years by Abby road billy took the acting role of paul.

JeremyB billy is fake. Paul’s alive and still is

Michael Schultz. So you mean the older country singer Bob Wills.? I would never think Bob Wills would influence Paul.?? I knew his son BW Jr. in the 80's in California. Carrying on singing like his father Wills Sr.

Waited with baited breath. Finding them years later is admirable, but being there from the beginning is such a life enriching experience that stays with you til your last breath. Another milestone just passed. FEB. 7, 1964 and FEB. 9. Arrived in America and very first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Another one coming up August 19, 1965 AND '66. '65, Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, TX. '66, Midsouth Coliseum Memphis, TN, face to face at their press conference. John autographed his 1st book and George shook hands with me, his effort, not mine. Yeah, being there from the beginning is the best way!

Yeah if I ever get access to a time machine I am totally going to one of the first Beatles concerts. LOL

For as long as it lasted, I'm glad they all got to have a life after "The Beatles". I'm still 16 in my heart when I hear their music. At least someone will remember me 3-4 generations after I'm gone, when they hear a Beatles song. 🥲

I particularly remember the surprise of the Rubber Soul cover as I unwrapped the album as a Christmas present 1965. It was so different! But not as shocking as seeing the Sgt Pepper cover for the first time.

I’ve heard worse songs then that

It's a good wee granny song that one

Haha Maxwell's Silver Hammer is fucking dope.

Not following the Maxwell Hate Bandwagon. Love it.

it's a great song though to be honest, extremely catchy and with maybe some offhand lyrics but some that are still a joy to listen

That's a great memory. 👍 ✌️

I just started a new job and this plays quite frequently

Great memory, thank you!

yep! same.

I always hear a telephone in Revolution 1

moronkink Me too....🤣

Seems like the better your HiFi, and the greater the frequency range it plays. The more this happens. There's a lot of stuff on old recordings like this just waiting to surprise you late at night after you've smoked some ganga, and make you freak out a little. 😊 There's a couple of Etta James songs where there's loud background noises, and it sounds like someone is upstairs in my home making noise, but I live in a single story condo. So at first it had me thinking an animal got into our attic, or something like that. Definitely felt a little stupid after figuring it all out. 😂✌️

Ha!! Same thing happened to me EVERY time I listened to Panic In Detroit by Bowie. I swear someone yells “Bob”. Sounded exactly like my dad calling from downstairs.

@J.W. Braun honestly I think this was interesting about the time and all the layers put into this song, like all their songs as they grew more mature musically, though really, it really is someone, probably sub-consciously, singing along, that's what musicians do when their really into the melody or certain part of a song or their part..etc. ; )

I'm fucked if I can hear it 🎸✌️

Ah, not just me then. Mind you I do get a lot of hearing aid adds pushed my way by the advertising algorithms. Perhaps they know something...

I would listen to this song super loud thru headphones when I was a kid. Something about bong hits and headphones really made all of the parts come thru. 40+ years later I'm deaf as a post but I remember hearing most of what was talked about here. I did appreciate the history lesson though.

I would assume it was Ringo saying, “Yeeaaahh!!”

I agree!

It is.

It's with question

@@swirlingfudge i agree… there’s many questions

Paul (excited cause they're rockin' their butts off !! )

Joshua Watt I agree it does sound more like Paul then John and I don’t think George would do that it doesn’t just seem like his doing and if it was heard from the drums then it would be much louder if it was Ringo doing it

Paul adlib off mic

Sounds like he might be directing them. Cause that's what he did!

Joshua Watt yeah

Right up there with the scream on The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."

It's a very primal scream, isn't it?

@@djmoch1001 It was a preview of what was to come a year later on his Plastic Ono Band solo LP!

His performance on "Mother" is rock screaming at its finest. From the heart.

Not to mention "Well Well Well"

That's what I thought : ))

Yup. He did the same thing all through "If I Fell."

Yea.....you can even see him do it on the Get Back show....he does it on several songs

@@PabloRichards which part?

@@farhanrasyidi Just listen to the whole song with headphones. You'll begin to hear the vocalizations of the bass all the way through.

uh no.

IT'S SO HEAVYYYYYYYY

Favorite Beatles song behind A Day in The Life. Love your work man, hope you have a good one ✌️☮️🔆

i LOVE this song. i’m thinking of covering it, as a matter of fact. i mean, it’s so... well, you know... 😏

Where do you get the isolated tracks??

@@occengineering Rock Band/5.1 Stems

Right?? And I. Am. HERE for it. 💜

Sounds like we had the same father.👍😉

lol

Aaron Landers I always liken that abrupt cut to: walking/driving through a blinding winter blizzard, the lashing snow impairing all senses-then all of a sudden winter ends and springs breaks forth with warmth as the sunlight peaks over the horizon and the first buds and blades of grass bloom...

Aaron Landers man, It always rises up so fast that after it ends I would not wanna hear any other song

Right on. That transition is sublimely jarring.

@@EJ160E that was great, nicely said

@@EJ160E I have a version of Abbey Road that I purchase at Roma many years ago, and I Want You didn't stop cut abrupt. It shunt down very slowly !!! Turning back from Roma to France, all my friends were crazy about having a different version of them and I'm proud to have this unusual version ! (sorry for my bad Englis)

Lot of them cannot be erased without completely redoing the track. They were just there buried in the original tracks. You could only get rid of them if they were completely isolated tracks. ...Why would they be isolated?.. It would always be buried background noise in instrument tracks or even moved forward from several tracks to a single submix..

That's interesting, since this song got me into The Beatles. I later learned to appreciate their early stuff.

It's a shame they didn't include it on the 50th anniversary edition =(

@@condor.67 My thoughts exactly.

condor67 I remember being really disappointed that more takes of I Want You weren’t included.

Renan Souza you did not get it...

yogurtsniffer86 good one buddy

Me too. As I began listening to the Beatles, Wings was already a phenomenon. Paul seems to do that throughout both band's life. And those "call outs" do seem very frequent with the Beatles. BTW, nice name, or moniker; Lilly Dee.

@@johnodonnell5840 Thanks. None of these "you can't unhear it moments" are new to me, always heard them and it is mainly Paul doing it.

Same

There was a time shortly after it came out that people said it was a wimpy commercial sellout. How wrong they were!!!

The isolated tracks are available online, if you know where to look. And on the new boxset there's an outtake that goes past the cut at the end.

@@julianuary Will have to look into that! Thanks! I've actually listened to the isolated tracks. Guess I didn't listen hard enough.

@@thomascars1 TAKE MY BABY BACK HOME

Talking about someone talking over the I Am Your Captain song...one of my pet peeves is radio DJs talking over the beginning or ends of songs, or running other songs or advertisements over songs. But this song, for decades, has been the exception to that rule. As far as I'm concerned, after about the eleventy millionth "I am your captain, please don't take my boat away from me", they can talk over, cut off, or otherwise destroy the rest of the record, and hang the band! I've always wanted someone to make a parody of that annoying song, and interrupt the whining captain, and make him walk the plank of his own ship. 😂 In my mind, the parody would be a bunch of rough British sailors, who were mutinying, and talking over top of the captain, and speculating on what to do with him after they steal his ship, lol. And the more he whines and repeats himself about them not taking his ship, the more dire the things they are discussing doing with him. Till eventually they make him walk his own plank. Into a bunch of sharks below. And then, for the ending, they say, "Blimey! Even the bleeding sharks don't want him!. Let's haul him back up, and fire him out the bloody cannon!" Meanwhile, he's STILL repeating that last line a million times, while the highly annoyed sharks flee in terror. And the last thing on the parody is the sailors haul the bastard up out of the midst of the fleeing sharks. And the last thing on the record is the boom of the cannon, and the captain's terrified scream, "YAAAAAAAaaaaaaaah!!!", as he disappears over the oceans horizon, lol. Abrupt song end. There were so many song parodies in the 60s, I'm surprised this song was not given that treatment.

@@duckduckgoismuchbetter Well, don't beat around the bush. Tell us what you really think of the song. I'll bet that deep down, you really want to hear it again. Now don't you !?! ...with headphones on! Aheeh Matey? 😉😂
