About
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Beatles, hailing from Liverpool, England, emerged as one of the most iconic and influential bands in the history of music, with members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Their groundbreaking work throughout the 1960s not only revolutionized the music industry but also played a pivotal role in shaping the counterculture of the era. Known for their experimental approach to music, The Beatles ventured into diverse genres, from rock and roll to psychedelic rock, introducing complex lyrics and innovative recording techniques that left a lasting legacy on the music world.
One of their most ambitious and celebrated contributions to music is "A Day in the Life," the final track on the 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." This masterpiece, primarily penned by John Lennon with a middle section by Paul McCartney, is renowned for its innovative structure and profound narrative depth. Drawing inspiration from daily news articles, including the tragic death of Tara Browne, a friend of Lennon's, the song weaves a poignant commentary on the human experience with McCartney's contribution adding a contrasting perspective on everyday life. The recording process of "A Day in the Life" was notable for its orchestral crescendos and a final, lingering piano chord, showcasing The Beatles' avant-garde approach to music production. Celebrated as one of The Beatles' greatest achievements, "A Day in the Life" exemplifies the band's artistic zenith and enduring impact on culture and music, illustrating their unparalleled ability to capture the zeitgeist of their era while forging a timeless legacy.

This song amazed me when I heard it the first time as a 13 year old in June 1967. It amazes me today at age 70.
I am also 70 years old and like you I heard the album for the first time when I was 13. I remember sitting on the floor in my parent's basement in front of an older FM console that only reproduced in mono as New York disc jockey Scott Muni on the original WOR-FM played the album without interruption.
@@robertchambers4065 isn't it incredible that you and I share this memory 57 years after we had the same experience many miles apart?
@@joecleveland2338and i too heard it on day of release aged 10 - i will never forget it🇬🇧.
Still blowing minds sixty years later.
John Lennon's voice sounds ghost-like and sends chills up the spine.
The ingenuity it took to get the various sound and musical effects, back in the day is incredible. The endless chord at the end and the orchestral climax. It's just two songs cut together. The John song and the Paul song. Different styles, but together they work. I like the dream soundscape at the end if Paul 's part, and I think Ringo's drumming is superb. It's what holds it all together. All of John's lyrics were taken from newspaper stories.
This song always was & always will be a Masterpiece
The Paul part ending with “and I went into a dream” followed by John’s dreamlike vocals with the orchestra. If you can’t relate or enjoy that then I’m not sure if you can appreciate that era 11:02
"How many holes there are?" Jeremy: "Enough to fill the Albert Hall!" (from The Yellow Submarine animated film)
The film about the English Army having just won the war was a reference to John co-starring a bizarre 1967 movie, “How I Won the War.”
Ringo Starr is one of the greatest drummers of all time.
Naw. But a great drummer all the same. And def underappreciated. I may have him in my Top 30 though?
Ringo its on my top 10
But John bonham and Neil peart are incredible.
His work on this song is absolutely top-notch.
Depends on what “greatest” means to the speaker. Was he the most technically amazing? The fastest? Did he have a command of a 30-piece drum kit that arena rockers of the last 30 years use? I’d say no. There are currently 12-year-olds who could probably play every drum hit Ringo ever created. But nobody ever has, and probably no one ever will, create drum tracks that raised songs to the heights Ringo did. Put any other drummer you’ve ever heard of in the seat instead of Ringo, and you don’t have a song that is a masterpiece with the PERFECT beats. You don’t have the Beatles. You have a good band. And the same goes for George Harrison’s guitar… he was no Stevie Ray Vaughan, no Eddie Van Halen… technically he was just “pretty good,” but musically, it’s PERFECT. You can hum a George Harrison solo. And you should! You will! No George, no Beatles. John Lennon’s rhythm guitar? Technically”fine,” musically PERFECT. John’s vocals? Okay, those are damn good! And Paul’s bass could probably be described as virtuoso. No one’s gonna say “Hey Bulldog” was a bass line that anyone could copy. What you had in the Beatles, at first, were two amazing world-class songwriters, with George stepping up his game to become world-class by, oh, 1966 or ‘67. So then, three world-class songwriters in one four-man group, all four of whom were world-class musicians in that their contributions, while not extremely difficult for a journeyman instrumentalist to recreate, would not have been, could not have been written by anyone else on the planet, and there was NO SUPERFLUOUS NOTE, NO MISSING INSTRUMENT on almost any Beatles song. And then you throw in their producer, George Martin, who could compose classical-style music and conduct orchestras AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, could suggest and/or create complementary instruments, orchestrations or piano parts, or whatever was needed. No one will ever do what they did; the odds are too long. It’s like getting two royal flushes in a row. Not gonna happen. You go, Ringo! And George, and John, and Paul. And the other George.
@@jimm6288 I'd change that to say Paul's bass after Rubber Soul. He really kicked it up a notch.
You need to hear more from Paul ... Most versatile voice ever ... The man of a miilion voices.
This song is documented as one of the best Pop/Rock songs ever. But the true revelation for any listener is the progression of all rock music (to include the Beatles) up until now. Then say.... that's what happened up until then. Now, Sgt Peppers.
It was two different songs. The middle part Paul had but didn't know how to finish it so they just combined it. You stopped before the "Giggle fade out"
Play her 'I Am the Walrus' next!!
This one challenged the typical Beatles fan back in the day. One could say that about the entire album actually. In fact, they pretty much challenged everyone with every album release, but this one left everyone in the dust.
It incorporates everything that you love about music. Well said. I've always felt that one's IQ goes up a few points after first hearing it. This one astounds me. Two guys who can't read or write music and no real musical training are able to put together something like this. It was the combination of John's main song but he didn't have a middle. Paul had a partial song that was looking for a resolution. Then they were looking for an interesting way to connect the two, thus the musical race to the upper note. Some have suggested this implies the rush felt as certain illicit substances are ingested. Paul has suggested they were well aware that some would take it that way. But, it was also part of a modern avant-garde artsy music scene at the time as well, John Cage and those people.
The BEATLES are Gods gift to mankind!✌🏻
Ringo and Paul on drums and bass, AMAZING!
This track isn't something you can like in one listening. It's like a fine wine that has been offered to a beer drinker. But once the palette becomes accustomed to it the flavours come flooding out and you realise that it is something that is exquisite and totally unique.
It's the Beatles best song and it filters people like crazy. I love it
Hahaha. True.. true! Thanks for your comment.
I’m jealous of anyone who hears this for the first time.
My absolute favorite song. Every second is perfect. Ringo's drumming is as good as anything he ever did, Rain notwithstanding. It's proggy; if not actual prog then prog-adjacent. Thank you, JPG&R and all the other players.
2 left over songs strung together to make my favorite Beatlse song
Ringo Starr understood. He was invariably the piece that completed the jigsaw puzzle.
Ringo's drumming on this track is just... incredible.
I don't believe that any other drummer in those days would be able to nail it as Ringo (agin!) did here. Just superb!
Couldn't agree more!
There are those who do not like this song at all and there are those like myself that find this totally genius.
Meeee tooo. Easily one of their best!
The drum fills!
You should review the video showing them doing the orchestration shot on hand held camera by various Beatles (mostly Paul), with other famous friends dropping in to rubberneck on the session.
Paul had a piece of music that was incomplete and John didn’t have a whole song.
So George Martin their producer linked Paul’s part with an orchestra climax going in and out.
It’s genius.
The legendary sustained chord at the end . . .
Wow I’ve listened to this song countless times over the years and this is the first time I noticed the dog panting over the final chord.
Without a doubt the most analyzed piece of pop music in history. The most analyzed drum part.
David here from Sebring Florida and I been a Beatles fan and collector for over fifty years. I think you are a interesting couple but I think you should of made a back story video of how you meet, what is your age difference and how GF missed out on some of the most classic rock music made? You have so much to explore. Did you explain this was a concept Lp? All the best! 😎
I find it totally insane that in 2024 someone your age has never heard Day in the Life! 😮
Believe it man. She grew up listening to allllll new "music". Mostly Now That's What I Call music cds... and Nickleback and Creed. It isn't pretty. But she is learning, and now her radio playlists are full of good stuff! Patience is key!
@@aviewfromthestage I see. For me, good music kinda ended in the 80's. Most of the "music" of today is auto tuned crap. 60s 70s, and 80s had the best.
@@sx20Ramar I think the problem is pop/radio music. I would agree that most of it was trash after the 80s, except I was Gen X and did like some of the later 90s grunge/alt music. I continue to find music made today that I like, it is just you aren't going to find it on the radio or hear it in the SB half time show. That being said, I like all kinds of music going from the 1920s - today, but no one has ever topped the Beatles.
The Beatles wrote this and the genius of George Martin produced it. It still blows my mind at age 74.
Listen to the anthology version. You'll hear the beauty and spookiness of John's vocal, contributed by the space and echo of Studio 2, I believe
You missed the fade-out with the dog whistle and chatter... a conceptional idea for the end of the vinyl and those turntables without automatic return
I think you meant turntables without automatic return. I had an automatic turntable, and for years did not even realize that the end chatter after the last chord was on there.
The opening lyrics were derived from British news stories at the time. The man who "blew his life out in a car" was the heir to the Guinness family breweries, so think multi millionaire.
Paul's section is a look back at his life going on the bus to college, before the Beatles came together. The "smoke" would have been regular tobacco, because people then could smoke upstairs on the buses. He just nods off again having skipped breakfast.
(I was about 9 when the album was released).
It was a unfinished song by John so George Martin asked Paul did he have anything. Paul said he had this tune and they put them both together. A day in the life was orn
Number 1 on my Existential Crisis playlist.
John's voice is spine chilling.
An incomparable plaintive quality to it.
Those that appreciate The Beatles know. It can't be taught.
Great song to take on a desert island. I'd go for 2112 though. Quality + quantity. 20+ minutes and it keeps me captivated all the way through.
Sgt. Pepper WAS the Summer Of Love Album in 1967
Great review
No one ever plays the song until the end.
I don't think the outro sound insert from the vinyl grooves is included in many digitalised versions of ADITL that are put out these days. And strictly speaking, I don't think it's actually a part of A Day in the Life, but more an outro to the album as a whole... therefore, not essential. Just my take, anyway. I could be wrong!
@@papercup2517 Yes, I always thought it was the sound of the crowd going home at the of the Hearts Club Band show that began at the beginning of side 1.
Have her listen to ('Beatles - A day in the life') That'll bake her noodle....😊
A spectacular track in 1967 and still very interesting for new listeners today. But it's sometimes the case, that some people like the Beatles' stuff from the studio era lesser, than the records from 1962-1965. Could be, that the lady likes the earlier more.
I think that's a pretty good assumption. :) But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna keep trying! I LOVE the album era....
Early stuff is trash
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek Absolute veto. There's great stuff to be heard at this stage too. Are you seriously telling me that tracks like She loves you, Can't buy me love, I feel fine, I'm down, Twist and shout, Norwegian wood, Day Tripper, Long tall Sally, Rock'n'Roll Music, In my life, Ticket to ride etc, I could mention 40-50 more songs, that these are trash?
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek: Clueless.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek Maybe...to the prejudiced or historically and musically uneducated mind, or ear too numbed to perceive the originality, creativity and energy they introduced into the prevailing norm of bland popular music, sounding a wake-up call to youth all over the world and inspiring countless future music legends to equip themselves with a musical instrument - or just bring a voice - and form a band.
As Brian May (Queen, lead guitar/ astrophysicist) put it: "The Beatles were our Bible. They opened the doors, and we all just walked through..."
More music less war
Ringo's drumming was awesome and held the whole song together.
More beatles pls
John Peel played the whole album before it was released - two real tape got it all!
Your enthusiasm is understandable because like you, I have been listening to the song since 1967. However I think you are doing a mild disservice when you indicate something is coming up and she should pay special attention. Let her discover things the way we did, not knowing in advance some kind of a twist was about to happen.
There are documentaries that might be worth watching after hearing the song for the first time. My personal favorite story is what the producer of (I think) the Hollies is supposed to have said after hearing the song which was something to the effect of they might as well pack it in and go home because nothing will ever be as groundbreaking. I am not a great fan of the funny noses as seen in some videos but prefer facts such as the orchestra players did not know how to slide up the scale so Beatles producer George Martin wrote it as a score. You are correct that it was chaos but it was planned and detailed chaos.
If she wants to be silly let her get it out of her system with "Yellow Submarine" and other lighthearted songs but the Sgt. Pepper album, especially "A Day In The Life," is important groundbreaking music and should be discovered as we did over the course of several plays because you will pick up things you didn't hear the first time around. Unless she just doesn't care let her discover for herself the rushed breathing on the bus, the ringing alarm before "Woke Up, fell out of bed," and as the piano fades you can hear a squeak and one of the Beatles whispers "Shhh."
The story goes.. It was co written by both John and Paul and they both wanted to sing it.. So they compromised by each doing their own part
Your dog breathing into the mic!
Its the totality. You cant break into parts.and, the middle macartney part is actually a day in the life. Also, western classical music is full of episodes.
Think of it as an musical Abstract .
The song was definitely not about Mary Jane and LSD... ahem
Nice channel. But who’s greenday😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha.
A day in "A " life,.,,
Nopers.. It's definitely A Day in "the" Life. :) According to the Beatles themselves anyway.
Huh? It is “the life”, as in a day in the life of…
There is no justification for talking over the fade of this song...shuttup and embrace the sustained E chord. The song isn't over until about 5 seconds after your hear the chair creak and the newspaper shuffle...
"Holes:" meaning potholes. The burg of Blackburn Lancashire was full of badly kept roadways. Just John trolling again.
It was a story in the same newspaper that had the headline about Tara Browne blowing his mind out in a car. They really did have to count the holes in the roads in the town of Blackburn.
You should have backed it up from that first pause.... actually, I would never pause this....
She doesn’t get it because it’s out of context. You need to start with 1955 then 56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64 all the songs on the charts they started as teenagers 1957 Sargent Peppers is 10 years later 1967 there obligation to provide product to EMI was fulfilled in 1966 they didn’t have to do anything. But if they did EMI had the rights to it. 1700 shows before the did the last show In candle stick park San Francisco it’s not like today they had one 100 watt bass amplifier final got 100 watt guitar amps the PA system ? They couldn’t hear them self’s playing. It was not fun young girls passing out just because they were overwhelmed with emotion. It was unreal. This isn’t happening in a vacuum civil rights movement they had made so much money for everyone else and then there manager Brian Epstein died in 1967 they reinvented themselves along with all the social change movement they were the voice for those that had no voice. All you need is Love, Revolution. Non violent by 1970 they had done the band thing for 13 years at that point in time something had to give. I was born in 1961 I saw it on the nightly news 1967 68 69 70 extra only 3 TV stations National Broadcasting Corporation,American Broadcasting Corporation & CBS Television that’s it. The innocence was gone. Angry frustration civil rights the war in south east Asia on the news every night as a little kid I saw it and it scared me I didn’t think I would be going to that war but I was pretty sure I’d be going to the next war. Social change Women’s Rights it’s all going on at the same time but that’s because when you reflect back it’s all compressed. I saw us the United States go to the moon. The counter culture put your message in your song Peter Paul & Mary the song is called “I dig Rock n Roll Music” read the lyrics. Then listen to the studio version of the song. Read the lyrics of the Beatles song Revolution 1969 single version it’s played harder and faster. Something happened and it changed everything and they were a small part of it but everyone looked at them and found something that made them want to be better people. And that’s what happened when I look back to my view from 1965 to 1975 ten years that changed everything. As for the way John’s voice sounded on that record electronic devices to do that didn’t exist. So I know how and why. And that’s part of people having a problem and not being stop by it.
You need to change your girlfriend
Hahaha. Nahhh she is learning!
You missed the ending of the album. Shame on you!
stop talking and stopping it. Play it talk afterwards. .simple as that
The lyrics are terrible/awful??????
Gotta be one of the most unappreciated comments I've ever heard.
She is obnoxious
