We Can Work It Out is interesting in how it was written. Paul wrote the more "positive" parts where "we can work it out," and John did the "life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend." It fits their personalities.
Paul wrote the more "optimistisk" parts.
@@matsekemark4617 *"optimistic"*
Please don't thank me for the assist, just happy to help those in obvious need!
The combination of the two is more than the sum of the parts! And the sum of the parts is very large..
Just like “It’s getting better” and “it couldn’t get no worse.”
John- Life's too short to be bothered and argue, just answer the question.
Paul- We should take the time to really get to know each other and work things out.
Daytripper is a perfect example of Ringo’s unappreciated genius on drums. His roll and cymbal crash at the end of the intro riff just explodes the song into life.
Ringo was rock solid as usual.
a freaking MEN!
Backwards too rolling low to high on the toms
The entire 90s 'Madchester' scene (Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays, Oasis, Charlatans...etc) all owe their sound to Ringo's drumming.
I have a bootleg of the track without the fade out. They play on for several bars more with Ringo's fills getting evermore inventive. Wish they'd kept that in.
“We Can Work It Out” is one of the best early year examples of a true Lennon-McCartney collaboration where it’s seemingly a 50/50 split, so much so that you can overtly hear distinctly where each collaborated. You have McCartney’s sunny optimism perfectly lined up with Lennon’s more world weary sarcasm/pessimism, but both working so well together like peanut butter and chocolate. Love this song.
True, but also credit to Harrison, whose idea it was to switch to 3/4.
It's probably more of an example of their post-Beatlemania writing in that it was less "face to face" and more bringing existing ideas together.
It's probably more of an example of their post-Beatlemania writing in that it was less "face to face" and more bringing existing ideas together.
@@MrKeychange would be like a Day In the Life, with McCartney's middle 8 being a part he didn't work into a full song. 2 albums a year can inhibit full expression. My opinion.
Peanut butter and chocolate is nothing that goes together well IMO...
I'd prefer peanut butter and honey or chocolate and marmalade 😋
Day Tripper is just about the most perfect guitar riff of all time!
It is..I think it was a work song...in that they knew that they had to right s single.
Lennon was messing around from a Chuck berry riff
Narrowly beaten by the “I Feel Fine” riff!
Day Tripper and Satisfaction are the greatest guitar riffs of all time
I like the opening chord to A Hard Days Night. It’s amazing that you can tell immediately what song you are about to hear from a single chord.
The opening riff on Ticket to Ride is pretty good too.
What a journey. Got to admit it’s getting better, getting better all the time.
It can't get no worse.
@@IsaacWale2004 i have to admit its getting better
YES! I admit it's getting better!
@@JoseLuisGarcia9540 its getting better
I used to be cruel to my woman. I beat...uh actually nevermind
I play guitar. Not in a band or anything special, just in some local bands for jamming around and playing local dive bars. It's just for fun and I love it. The first lead solo I learned was Day Tripper. Anyone who picks up a guitar and wants to play more than a few chords will learn that riff. It's one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time.
Another CZcams reaction guy said, which I thought was very amusing, that the "Day Tripper" riff should be illegal. 😀 High praise. er, I mean - you know.
@@buddyneher9359 I think it's one of mythical riffs that are "banned" in guitar stores
it rates with the opening riff of 'Satisfaction.' It's instantly identifiable. The tone and the structure of the two songs are up to an individual's preference, but Day Tripper is right there with the Stones' anthem in recognition by a rock "enthusiast."
@@gmb858 I personally wouldn't compare the two. I love both but the Stone's Satisfaction is more on par with say Smoke on the Water in that it's 3-4 notes in a great rhythmic pattern. Day Tripper's riff uses much of the scale and a couple of notes it probably shouldn't in a clever pattern like Black Night (if I'm keeping the Beatles/Deep Purple comparison going) or Whole Lot of Love verses Black Dog if you use another rifftastic band like Led Zeppelin.
@@joecuthbert8637 I don't know if SurfinUSA was going that deep with it. I think he means that the riffs for Day Tripper and Satisfaction are two of the most timeless, recognizable, and important guitar riffs in rock history. And to that I would definitely agree.
So now it's Paperback Writer/Rain next, and then on to Revolver. A splendid time is guaranteed for all...
Great timing...it was on this date (20 Oct 1965) they began recording We Can Work It Out :)
It probably was on purpose
"We can work it out" is one of their very best ❤
Verkligen ❤️
Lennon's taste for the rhythm of Waltz is again evident in "We can work it out". Greetings to everyone from Mexico!
That was an acknowledged Harrison contribution he came up with the idea of going to the waltz time
That was George's idea in this song, though.
Allegedly it was George's suggestion to make the time signature change.
@@guitarswhiskeyandgolf And it appears that Lennon liked it.
@@Lea99Jones he didn’t like it later during the let it be album. When George, Paul, and Ringo were working on I Me Mine, John said “that a collection of freaks can dance along with George's waltz" and he told George to "get lost - that the Beatles only play rock and roll and there's no place in the group's playlist for a Spanish waltz".
Hi Caroline... I just want to say hi and thank you for your videos. They bring me such a respite from the stresses of the day.. your warm, infectious smile and laughter.. the complete joy you give us when you review Beatles music, and your beautiful soul all combine to make me get happy. Add to that your technical, musical understanding and brilliant way of conveying your musical gift is extraordinary.. and I'm the better for it.
Thank you... A solid thank you!
I completly agree with Shiela! You are brilliant! and fun.
@@terryoconnell7720 Aww thanks Terry. She is isn't she? And she's just so cute.. like the closer you look the more perfect she is! It's maddening haha...
@@shielahaberecht3417 I actually just stumbled on to her youtube site a couple of days ago, I have found and watched all of them. Remarkable music knowledge. I am and old guy and she takes me on trips down memory lane that bring tears to me eyes. i have wondered what it is like for young folks to hear Beatles for the first time. i was a 14 year old, Freshman in high School when i first heard "I wanna hold your hand" Literally, changed my life.
@@terryoconnell7720 She's wonderful... Always genuinely captivated and joyously intrigued. She is so gifted, and nice... And adorable. And I thought I was cute! She's just exquisitely crafted lol...
Thing is... She makes me happy. You too huh? So glad we both found her! Can't wait until she gets to the high art pieces of the Beatles. Pepper White Album Abbey Road! She's going to be in musical ecstasy!
@@terryoconnell7720 I guess we all love 💕 you, Caroline! Haha... Be well and at peace ✌️
As great as the Beatles are, Caroline makes them sound so fresh and new! Beautiful work Caroline!
The G & D naturals in the Daytripper riff are essentially what became called blue notes, the minor 3rd & 7ths, & the Beatles would have become familiar with them from playing loads of rhythm & blues in particular. The Daytripper riff is almost just an elaboration of the opening riff of Ray Charles' 'What'd I Say', which McCartney called the riff of the universe.
It's called the pentatonic scale. 5 notes that can be played on 1-4-5 progressions. Many of the Beatles lead solos are in pentatonic. It's an important scale for rock and blues. Musicians have even learned it before learning the major scale and some famous ones only know this scale and nothing else and are considered musical geniuses.
The way blues and rock guitarist learn the pentatonic scale is to mix it with notes on the major and minor scale (they call them passing notes since you don't stop on them) since they are in the "box" shape
@@Koshek137 I usually teach the F# pentatonic on the piano as a first improvisation lesson on the piano because the students can stick to the just black notes and freely move around without inhibition. When they've got used to that, I get them to add the minor 3rd, perfect 4th, flatted 5th & minor 7th for improvising on blues & jazz based tunes.
I can also hear Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman" in the Day Tripper riff too. Remember John or Paul talking about touring with The Big O and apparently Roy showed them a new song he was working on. Yep, you guessed it - They got to hear Pretty Woman before the rest of the world did. Always thought the Day Tripper riff was John's subconscious tribute to that song. Great lick!
@@marascusbomm Nice, hadn't thought of that before. Both riffs go up to the 9th.
This was the first double A side single that got the number 1 spot in the UK. And then the next year The Beatles repeated this feat with the Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby single. Amazing!
While Day Tripper is more recognized for its unforgettable riff, We Can Work It Out is my personal favorite, it has the best of both Beatles worlds, the catchiness of their early era with their later lyrical depth. Plus the Paul / Jhon combo is just exquisite.
I believe this was the first single to be labeled a “Double A side”. Where in neither song was labeled as the “B side”
But for me, these singles perfectly capture the Beatles in 1965. And even if I had to put these songs on either Help or Rubber Soul, it would be quite difficult to place them. I did like to hear you mention that the writing material and subject matter are shifting away from what we typically expect.
Love the reactions! Keep em coming
I know I Feel Fine/ She's A Woman ended up as a double-A side, as both charted as (big) hits, but I didn't realize that Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out were literally there was no side even mentioned. And I have the single right in front of me right now! I just thought it was a figure of speech, I didn't realize it literally meant a double-A side. I'm assuming Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane went out the same way? But not, say, Lady Madonna/The Inner Light? Interesting how some had b-sides and some clearly didn't!
Yep, first double A-side ever in the world. Similarly to how Magical Mystery Tour was the world’s first double EP.
Agreed. As someone who was around at the time, this was, so far as I can recall, the first time the concept of the double A side was mentioned.
Elvis had lots of double-A sided hits
One of the things I love about the Beatles' catalog, is that it's a veritable master class in composing, arranging, and harmony - who else consistently wrote such great (and sophisticated) riffs and hooks? I dabble in music theory, and it feels as if almost every song has a lesson to teach. What makes it even more impressive is that for them, it was all instinct and their ears guiding them.
Really enjoying your reactions and analysis - We all recognize your joy upon hearing these, simply because we remember our own joy when we first heard them!
I've been listening to music for 50 years, and Beatles songs are about the only ones I can sing along with no matter how long since I've heard the song. Another Genius quality of Their's. You need to interview Sir Paul.
I like that idea. He'd probably be on board for that if it got put out there.. Start a campaign for Caroline/ aka CAZZA to meet Sir Paul McCartney/ aka: MACCA. MACCA meets CAZZA.
@@teri7398 Let's make it happen, I don't what's the 1st step. SRS
@@steveshannon145 Write an email to his secretary?
@@KasiusKlej His temporary secretary?
@@loosilu I think she retired back in 1980.
'We Can Work it Out' is a true leap forward in popular music and a pointer to prog with the switch in time signature. Magnificent. (And 'Day Tripper' is a great pop song too) Both have been covered many times in a variety of styles and the songs remain indestructible.
The guitar riff from Day Tripper is one of my favourite bits from any Beatles song.
I know! It's just so instantly galvanizing. Irresistible. Iconic. If it comes on the car radio I'm physically incapable of turning off the radio before it's over, no matter how long I have to sit in the car and wait. (I have, with regret, had to bail on Hey Jude once or twice in that situation...)
I think Day Tripper was the song that got me into the Beatles. They did so much but this is a Masterclass in pop songs.
Guys let her just experience the music, don’t spoil any of the upcoming albums!
Quite possibly one of the best Double A Side singles ever released. ✌️
I dunno, there's also Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields and Hey Jude/Revolution to compete with!
@@loosilu
Also, Paperback Writer/Rain.
Although, personally, I regard all Beatle singles Double A sides. ✌️
@@davidmason9529 I used to always pick that one, then someone told me Rain was the B side.
Something and Come Together was my favorite
You are just beginning to discover the transformation of culture and music in the 60s. The Beatles were trailblazers.
I saw boys growing their hair long not soon after 1964. When I was in high school and college (1970-1978), almost all the guys had long hair, as did the girls.
Always great see your reaction/analysis of the Beatles! I would recommend you listen to the next single, "Paperback Writer/Rain" before reacting to "Revolver" instead of after, as it was released before Revolver and serves as a precursor of the direction of their next album. I look forward to both reviews!
Scott Sheppard yes! I was going to suggest this very thing.
Good suggestion.
Agreed! In fact I would recommending doing the singles before the albums from here on out for the same reason.
Great suggestion! The Beatles music style was evolving quite rapidly and the singles became, IMHO, guideposts pointing in the direction of their next album.
I didn't know it was before revolver itself. I thought those songs were part of the revolver recording sessions in general. Annoyingly they didn't appear on the album. It reminds me of Hey Hey what kind I Do, not appearing on Led Zeppelin 3. But yeah you should do those singles prior to doing Revolver. Super looking forward to your Revolver reaction.
Guys don't spoil any of Revolver for her, she needs to be absolutely clueless.
Exactly I’ve been thinking this! She needs to just experience the music without knowing what it’s gonna be like beforehand
Time to start dropping acid, too.
honestly though it's impossible to spoil!!!
@@loosilu The thing is if people say “the next one is the greatest of all time” she’s going to go into it with massive expectations and preconceived notions. It’s better to just let her hear the music then determine where it ranks in her world.
@@206Vin Listening to Revolver, Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour on LSD is quite the experience... I thought I knew those albums before but...
Re: the meaning of some of the lyrics - This is a quote from Paul in the Barry Miles book, Many Years From Now - "It was always amusing to see if we could get a naughty word on the record, fish and finger pie, prick teaser, tit tit tit tit . . . so we were looking around for another phrase so it was dit dit dit dit which we decided to change in our waggishness to tit tit tit tit, which is virtually indistinguishable from dit dit dit dit. And it gave us a laugh. It was to get some relief in the middle of this real big career that we were forging. If we could put in something that was a little bit subversive then we would. George Martin might say, Was that dit dit or tit tit you were singing? Oh, dit dit, George, but it does sound a bit like that, doesn't it? Then we'd get in the car and break down laughing."
Along the same lines the "tripper" part was a sneaky drug reference.
.
He has also said "she's a big teaser" started as "prick teaser".
Can I just say I love reading the comments for Caroline’s videos. Everyone is sharing their love of the Beatles, providing tidbits of info & supporting this lovely girl. It’s a virtual community fashioned in a way that the lads from Liverpool would definitely approve of. 😊
@Call Me Caroline have you thought about starting a Patreon or a PayPal account for this channel? I’m sure you’d get by with a little (or a lot of) help from your friends ✌🏼❤️
I agree with your points!!
I've had the same thought re the Patreon account - it would allow for listening to the entire albums without having to stop & start. I'd for sure pay for it.
@@carolwood53 entire album? I'd be happy if she played a whole 2:30 single!
@@LyndaMom She can’t because of copyright laws. Somehow it’s possible thru Patreon but I really don’t know how (or why) it works.
@@carolwood53 Bummer! Maybe a quick mention at the start of the stream would be in order...then our brains won't cry "WHY??!!" 😂
The Beatles AND dual ponytails
She's leveled up, fellas 🥲
“They’re exploring more ideas other than love” Let’s give Dylan a big shout out on that.
Also apparently one of Paul's aunties made the suggestion that he write something other than the usual.
@@buddyneher9359 let the man write silly love songs, I say! ‘Cause what’s wrong with that? I need to know ‘cause here I go…again!
Watching your Beatles journey always makes me cry, Caroline. Such a joy to see someone discovering this timeless music. Thank you SO much for sharing!
If you learn Beatles songs on guitar, you find that they use the same figures in many songs. The opening riff of "Michelle" appears in a different key in "Lady Madonna" and "Got to Get you Into My Life." Starting on a minor chord, the tonic descends in half steps. Don't get me started on flatting the major third of the four chord. That is in half their songs.
Much in the same way The Beatles gave you a warm and fuzzy feeling, you do the same for me. I really enjoy the style in which you break down music. Love your channel, please keep them coming. 😃
I'm glad she's having fun with this because I think the Beatles were all about fun!
Both songs are incredible pop/rock masterpieces. The message in "We Can Work It Out" is so beautiful and one of my favorite songs by The Beatles. The sound of John & Paul harmonizing in that track gives me so much joy, as does hearing them trade lyrics and lead vocals. Since you really enjoyed that song, Caroline, I think it should be your next Beatles cover!
Such a beautiful message: "I'm right you're wrong"
When you hear Mac and John singing together, yeah I agree. To me that’s the sound. Later examples like Come Together and Mean Mr Mustard ( short as it is). They didn’t do it so much on the White. A favorite collaboration.
@@davidbaise5137 The White Album really was the soloist with backing group album. Having said that, there were still great harmonies of songs like Happiness is a Warm Gun.
@@markydh83 yes, all Lennon. When you see and hear the tape of “Revolution” as broadcast on American TV it’s the three of them, with Paul and George doing the “Shooby Doo Wah” backgrounds!!
My favourite Beatles novice. Finding new things to love in the arrangements. Vids are getting better all the time.
Every time I think "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" is the greatest two-sided single ever, I listen to these two songs and feel unsure again.
then comes Strawberry/Penny Lane and ends the uncertainty hahaha
Both songs are a perfect example of Lennon and McCartney working together. Both adding their own unique touches.
It's gets better and better. LOl Enjoy !!
The fact that the Beatles have great songs NOT in their albums is another reason why they’re the greatest!
Watching your enthusiasm is half the fun of listening to these tunes.
Great job! I am l loving the journey of exploring The Beatles again from start to finish & your enthusiasm & observations are so pure. Thanks so much on a Wednesday!
Great analysis! Next up are the 2 singles ("Paperback Writer" and "Rain") that were released in April 1966. These two songs will give you an idea what the lads were up to while recording their next album, the groundbreaking "Revolver".
The "Paperback Writer" single was recorded in April 1966 but was actually released May 30 in the US and June 10 in the UK. I'm betting she will probably hear it after she hears "Revolver", however, since her pattern has been to listen to the associated singles after the album.
@@spiritof6663 Or maybe Caroline could just wait to hear them on the Hey Jude Album which is full of all the lonely singles. Although, I think it might be a good idea for her to play them as a prequel to Revolver. What ever way does it is fine with me. She could do it your way, she could do it my way or maybe won't do it at all. Just Let It Be.
Like your reactions..and yes love to hear your interpretations of some of their songs..you have a lovely voice.
The delight that you express over the dynamics you're finding in this music is so refreshing to me.
Thanks, Beauty -
I just love your incredibly honest yet silly reactions to the best music ever created!
Just came across this video, and it’s wonderful, because it’s not your average reaction video, which I really don’t care for. lol. The fact that you’re showing the piano keys and explaining the melody and it’s key signature is next level for these reaction vids. I was a professional touring musician for many years, and I love teaching people theory. Anyone who’s truly interested. Music should be the 8th wonder of the world. Loved the vid! 🎶✨🎵⭐️🔊✨
Wow, the Day Tripper riff sounds just great on piano. Your reactions are top notch.
My oh my, I’m enjoying watching your musical and emotional journey and now the real fun starts!!! Revolver!!! What a ride their musical output in the period of 1966-1969 is going to bring to you!!
Caroline...wonderful reviews by you..have watched almost all of them and they have brougt back so many memories...I am one of the " Beatles Generation " having been15/16 when they burst onto the scene. Suddenly even our parents were taking an interest...we waited eagerly for the next single because we had never heard sounds like theirs before...i was a Racing Cyclist and when we rode in groups training we all sang their songs out loud as a group..happy times for us..it was wonderful to be a teenager in the 60's...you display all the fun and emotions that we experienced when we heard their music.
Two of my favorite Beatles songs. Drastically different but definitely heading in a new direction. Love your reaction and analysis. Oh, and the pigtails are a nice look on you. Major cuteness❤️ Really looking forward to your Revolver reaction.
Hi Caroline, I want to let you know how much joy you are bringing this old Beatle fan with your album reviews. They are a pure delight. Every time you post a new video I get so excited and have to drop everything I'm doing to watch. I would really love to here you sing a cover of the song "Help", but sung as a slow ballad. John Lennon had expressed regret that the Beatles had recorded it at such a fast tempo. Love what you are doing, keep up the good work.
Thanks again for the video. I love watching them and smile most of the way through. You have definitely found a calling with this analysis of the Beatles music. Your presentation is really nice and full of verve. It's really good when you play snippets of the songs yourself like you did on the Day Tripper riff. I'm hooked.
Hi Caroline ! God, I love your reactions. Watching you is pure joy ! 💜
Don't know how it's written down, but I feel that change as minim triplets on 4/4 rather than a change in time signature.
Absolutely great song though, love the ones with surprises
Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out single has always been one of my favorite Beatles singles! Day Tripper's riff is so incredibly catchy and rock-y! Thank you for yet another great video and yes - please sing another Beatles song PLEASE 😊🎶❤️! It can be of your choosing, I mean: one sings best what one enjoys the most.
As always, fantastic video! It makes me so happy we can watch you go through this journey and I can't watch to see your reactions to the rest of their albums! Even more masterpieces coming your way!
Both great singles! Love your reaction and love of music!
Still loving this journey of re-discovery as you discover. Your reactions are so pure and joyful (as they should be).
One technical point: their flat 7ths can often evoke mixolydian mode, but they are also characteristic of blues. In Day Tripper (and elsewhere), that minor-to-major 3rd increment is pure blues, just re-imagined in George Harrison's ingeniously creative guitar line. 😊
Oh yes, someone else mentioned "Bad Boy," a cover of a Larry Williams song. "Bad Boy" was released on U.S. versions of the Beatles' albums (Beatles VI, released in 1965), but not U.K. versions. It ended up on a compilation record called "A Collection of Beatles Oldies" in the U.K. in 1966. Please don't forget it.
You’re helping me understand why I loved the Beatles so much when I first heard them as a young boy.
Another great video, Caroline. Love how you enjoy it so much. Keep having fun with those Beatle tunes. Stay happy! 🙂
We Can Work It Out was Paul's dirge to his love interest, actress Jane Asher, who was refusing to retire to devote herself to him as a full-time wife...
So, it's kind of a love (or at least, control) song!
Thanx for another stellar reaction.
"Merd"? What's a "Merd"? Oh, MODE! Got it! (Just playful teasing! 😜 You do great!)
I feel like this is the era where the Beatles hit escape velocity. Their MASSIVE popularity allowed them to break free/through the usual limits that the music industry placed on performers. They could shift their goal a bit further from Commerce, and a bit more towards pure Art (and make even more money in the process). To stretch my metaphor a bit further, once they hit that musical escape velocity, they could boldly go where no one had before. They were the first ones there and had NO competition, but everyone soon followed (or tried to).
I just love watching someone love this music for presumably the first time
this is how i react everytime i listen to The Beatles! Their music is so enjoyable. You can't help but smile when listening to them.
one of the first riffs I learned with my white Squier stratocaster when I was 14
seems so long ago...
One of the best double -A-sides ever!
You and your videos are now the highlight of my week.
Wow that book is huge! Lots of great music
Awesome!
Can't wait for you to get to Revolver! It's gonna be awesome! :D
Just to mention, when you get to Abbey Road, you've got to listen to side B all in one go, like its one large song. 'Because' to 'Her Majesty'.
To not do would be sacrilege
Glad you threw Because in there. Officially it’s not part of the medley, that starts with You Never Give Me Your Money, but I’ve always felt it works as such an excellent job bridging the gap between the the two halves of the album. If Her Majesty is the medley’s epilogue, Because is the prologue
@@peytonwilliams3107 ive always considered it the start of the medley, like an choral opening to an opera
Well, 'Sun King' is basically a callback to 'Because' so it really does fit.
I've been hoping it would be possible for Caroline to listen to Abbey Road in vinyl format on an actual turntable. If she doesn't have one right now, maybe we could make that happen somehow in the (3 weeks x 5? because she should do it last.)
And I have to start with Here Comes The Sun, being old school (or, just old ;)
Another nice reaction, Caroline .. Interesting and fun as always, and it makes the 3 week wait in between album reactions more bearable .. I like Day Tripper a lot, but We Can Work It Out is one of my very favourite Beatles songs .. I just love it, and like you, it makes me feel good listening to it .. Thanks, Wayne
John and Paul were rockers, with pop sensibilities. They listened to American music. John was an artist. He went to art school. Without knowing "modes" or even reading music as a younger songwriter, he would probably write a simple melody 1st, understanding that if you want to be better than the average pop song writer, you needed to play around with notes. i.e. "What if I replaced this one with this other one? Oooo! that sounds gear-fab over that chord! What if I play with the beat, right at this spot?" Lots of musicians don't read music. They feel it. Also, most famous artists in every field of art, get famous by breaking the rules.
John in the beginning certainly was like this. "Girl" with the breathing, and "Ask me why" with the; "That, I, I, I ,I", besides many other song examples! All cutting edge at the time.
A brilliant two-sided single. Different style of tunes, but both great. The Beatles right in the thick of their peak period, IMO.
Double A side.
All the best singles had two sides
@@SecretAgentPaul I meant double-A sided, of course.
I don't know if it's just me, but I always like your videos before I even start watching them hahaha. Love your work and videos!
Thank you young lady!..Enjoy your analysis & enthusiasm!...Looking forward to "Revolver."
I've been listening to The Beatles since well literally my entire life. We had several of the albums when I was growing up and so there's such a big part of my musical experience that it's so fun to watch somebody who can analyze the musical elements listening to them for the first time! It's refreshing and it's so cool to hear somebody's perspective who just hasn't had that exposure! Thank You for tons of fun!
That is the best analysis of the lyrics for "Day Tripper" I've ever heard, it made me laugh! This was definitely a breakaway from the "you, girl" songs, and that would continue. And when they would write love songs, they would increasingly come from a "real" place. Also, that tambourine is definitely textbook Beatles '65! Love this reaction to what was called a double-A sided-single, meaning both sides were big hits. They had a few of those (I Feel Fine/She's A Woman was one of them).
And later, "Come Together"/ "Something".
@@rmar67 It was Something/Come Together, and it really wasn't a double-A side, especially since everyone had the album, and it was "Something" that was the hit. Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane was the next double A-side, where both songs charted (and charted high). Both sides being "classic" Beatle songs isn't what I mean by a "double-A-side".
That just put a smile on my face. Wouldn’t mind you doing a cover of There’s A Place 😁.
Not sure what inspired me, but I slowed down There's A Place with Audacity and it's actually better! I'm wondering if it was originally intended as a slower song, but was played at a faster tempo the way Please Please me was to sound 'dancier'. Certainly the lyrics lend themselves to a slower song. IMO only.
It's certainly a very good early song with more interesting lyric than most from that period.
I always loved both of these songs and to have Rubber soul as well. Totally amazing band to have all this talent
So much fun! And interesting subjects being discussed.
In my experience the sheet music is almost always wrong. I havn't found a Beatles collection of sheet music yet that actually had all of the information correct. They are a good general guide, but if you rely too heavily on the sheet music you will probably be disappointed. Your musical ear is probably your best bet to getting it right, in my opinion. Good video.
The one she uses is probably the most correct of them all.
@@Jimmie_Rudolfsson hope so. back in the day they were awful. im sure there are better ones out there now.
The best one that I have is four volumes of fifty hit songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, first published by Wise in 1974
I would like to see the sheet music for Revolution 9...

Their harmonies sound soooooo good on these, especially the "fussing and fighting" B theme on We can work it out. It's like candy.
We can work it a out is a pop canon, what a wonderful melody! Paul's voice is great here. Double-tracking is very well done. I love it.
Nice video once again! Really fun watching you discover the music and your evaluations! You have such a positive personality!
We can work it out. That's my choice Caroline and I can't wait until you hit the next album
To me, these two songs are so entirely "Beatles." I was in grade school when they came out and they somehow immediately became part of my DNA. Seeing you react to them now, I think they're going to become part of your DNA, too. And that's a good thing, a gift 😃 Keep on feeling the joy!
how cool :)
So glad I found your channel :) ty for sharing
Caroline, I have to agree with a previous comment that "your warm, infectious smile" makes your reaction videos such a joy to watch!
Oh yeah, my vote is for You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away. One of my favorites.
I always enjoy the way Paul and John play off of each other in opposite ways. Paul singing with the hopefulness of "We can work it out" and John answering in the bridge with a more solemn and serious reality "Life is very hard and theres no time..." They did this quite often in songs.
-I *so* love this!
Always great to see a new Beatles reaction appear. Keep up the great work! Now onto Revolver! Woo hoo!
Rolling the third, like they did in day tripper, is an old blues lick. Ending the phrase on the 7th is a blues thing as well
We Can Work it Out was written about difficulties Paul was having in his relationship with girlfriend and actress Jane Asher (musician and producer Peter is her brother).
I always associate the harmonium with church music, especially methodism and Salvationism.
I really hope you're learning about the history of the band as well as listening to their amazing music.
If she gest sucked into the Beatles charisma, she'll want to learn about their history I'm sure.
These reactions are a lot of fun ! ...I actually look forward to these ..I'm dying to see Pepper and beyond
Caroline, I really enjoyed this latest reaction video of yours.Your reaction is priceless! And now on to 'Revolver'! Peace & Love
So glad you're thinking about the lyrics as well. Continue paying attention to them in the following albums!:)
Oh the lyrics are all over the map from here on!
Lol the lyrics will be front and center
I love when they sing, "life is very short and there's no time ... for fussing and fighting". Lennon's voice is almost cynical, while Paul's is uplifting, as they harmonize together. It makes you wonder whether the person (the 1st person in this narrative) actually believes they can work it out. All conveyed in a simple harmony.
People seem to miss that Paul is singing we can work it out if you just do what I say.

I agree and have never understood The misconception of Lennon's so called cynicism with regards this song.
'Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend, I have always thought that it's a crime, so I will ask you once again...
In what sense can these words be viewed as cynical? They're not a call to arms, but a plea for a cessation from squabbling and arguing and foreshadow later Lennon songs such as All You Need Is Love, Imagine, and one of the best songs from this period, The Word- (An early song about universal love).
This thread like many Beatle threads is riddled with familiar, tired old clichés. Knowing facts and regurgitating endless details is not the same as actually listening to the songs and reaching your own conclusions.
Think for Yourself.
@@ElectricPeasant I didn't say that the words are cynical. I said his voice sounded it. McCartney is clearly the ascending, positive voice while Lennon's is more cynical. That's not a tired old trope. That's just how it sounds.
If you want to talk about cynical words from Lennon vs. McCartney's optimism, I would have brought up, say, Getting Better.
Cheers for that, I loved it. And yes, it does change into a 3/4 time signature on We Can Work it out.
Keep lending your ears to all the music from The Beatles Caroline. You'll be so happy you did.
