czcams.com/video/PmDyVxK0118/video.html Side 2 Is finally up
The one thing I notice when most people listen to The Beatles is that it makes them so happy. It's like music to lift ones spirits because of the themes, how well it's written, and how well it's made. You know right away you are in good hands. And they can sometimes be so funny, like with Piggies being about corrupt police officers and Back in the U.S.S.R. being an absurdist take on a Beach Boys song set in a place where the sun barely shines and it's super cold most of the year.
@@nathan43082 I think the piggies are more representative of greedy capitalists than police.
@@MsAppassionata Agreed. Then Manson screwed it up for everyone.
Fun Fact: In the songs Back In the U.S.S.R and Dear Prudence, Paul McCartney was on drums. The reason why Ringo wasn’t on drums for those 2 songs is because he was mad and left for a little bit. When he came back to record more songs with the Beatles, there were flowers on his drum-set for his return
Paul also drums on Martha My Dear
@@christophertalbot9064 True - and, for what little it's worth, percussion on Wild Honey Pie and Can You Take Me Back.
"Back in the U.S.S.R. is a sendup of The Beach Boys' "California Girls". Brilliant! That's Paul's lead vocal. The entire album is genius!
and the _ooh ooh ooohhhhs_ in the prechorus are a Beach Boys tribute actually
In it they not only CRUSH "The Beach Boys," they also pay tribute to Chuck Berry and Ray Charles and his "Georgia On My Mind".
Their most diverse album they did. Nearly every song is different from each other.
I think it's the most diverse album anyone ever did for that matter - while still sounding coherent and not in any way arbitrary and all over the place. The track sequencing sure helps a lot though, imo. It gives the album a perfect flow and makes it feel completely rounded.
Hey guys sorry for the long wait for the long wait hopefully this doesn't get taken down I really hate trimming these songs it makes the video feels so choppy but I hope you guys enjoy I tried keeping as much as I can. I really loved this album and already see how The Beatles evolved from their Sgt. Peppers album. Not one dull moment.
We get it. As long as we know you enjoyed it in whole, and not choppy.🙂 great reaction. 👊
We've all heard it a trillion times. As long as you get to enjoy it it's all good.
You're a good man it's what's going to be done it is what it is you're good man thanks for doing it
Understandable, I am very happy to see you listening to the Beatles. I have worn out many vinyl albums of the Beatles.
Did you know that the song “Blackbird” was written as a tribute to the Civil Rights movement (the Little Rock 9 in particular)?
If you listen to Magical Mystery Tour you’ll understand the references in Glass Onion
Yeah, I would add that Magical Mystery Tour is probably the best place to start for the new listener. It's got their most popular / defining stuff on it
@@neilsun2521 it's funny because I always found MMT to be a much better album to both Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers, the two most critically praised albums. But I actually probably like this album best.
Glass Onion= Concave Earth
@@neilsun2521 MMT is just so good because their singles from 1967 are added to it to make it a full length album. The actual EP was good but without Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, All You Need Is Love or Hello Goodbye.
@@neilsun2521 Very good album but it's definitely not their most popular or defining album.
Wu Tang Clan covered 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' on their '8 Diagrams' album. Called 'While The Heart Gently Weeps'. They even had George Harrison's son play some guitar on it.
You remind me of how fun it used to be listen to Beatles albums and guessing who was singing each song. Tougher on the early albums. On this one, their particular personalities make it pretty obvious who’s singing on most songs.
The guitar solo George's friend Eric Clapton did on 'While my guitar gently weeps' still goes down as absolutely legendary in my books..
Every Beatles album is an experience. I would do every album from 1966 to 1970.
Listening to things like With The Beatles will still give you Lennon’s word play but also shows how much the band changes musically in such a short period of time.
Actually, Rubber Soul is incredible and one of their greatest albums, and Help! is incredibly underrated and brilliant. I rediscovered it during the pandemic after having not listened to it for forty freaking years! God, I can't believe it has been that long...
When I saw Paul in concert some time ago, he said he was watching "the telly" (TV) & saw a black bird (bird is slang for girl in the UK) getting hit by cops during the Civil Rights movement. After it passed, he wrote Blackbird, "take these broken wings & fly." Btw, The Beatles were the 1st rock/pop band to refuse to play to a segregated audience when the came to tour in the USA. It made it easier for others to do the same. They toured with people like Little Richard who taught Paul that Rock scream in the UK before they became big & loved Chuck Berry, etc. So they didn't understand racism at all.
Money isn t everything.
I am intrigued when young people get interested with the Beatles. But if you want to know them, on why they were considered the greatest band, you should start with their earliest work. Only then you will have a good understanding why. It is just my humble opinion. Cheers from a 65 year old Beatles fan.
I hear ya Rolando. I'm 66 and still loving the Beatles!
I agree. It will show you how much they progressed over a relatively short period of time.
Without their latest work, they'd be just a band that was popular for a while and few people cared about today
I 100% agree with you. This is going to be sacrilegious. But I understand I’m 72 so I’ve listened since I was 13. I My favorites are rubber soul going forward. Your book. But when they were really young it makes me smile I enjoy it it’s wallpaper to my life. But I love when they come into their talents. It’s just mind-boggling ear boggling
You're a great listener. Sensitive and smart! These are crazy eclectic songs- and I love them!
You have no idea the excitement there was both by the world's press at the time and by the public at large when this album was released. We hadn't heard anything like this before and we all thought that it was ahead of its time when we first listened to it.
“I like every song on this album so far.”
Wait till you get to Revolution Number 9.
My favorite.....it's the end of the world as we know it......But John feels fine!
#9 #9 #9
I love ‘Revolution 9’. I’ve been listening to my original vinyl copy of the White Album since 1979.
A lot of people like to think it's crap, but to me it's the perfect climax to a perfect album. If the White Album was a movie, then Revolution 9 would be the big showdown sequence. Tbh, I do sometimes skip Obladi-Oblada when I don't feel like listening to it - but I never skip Revolution 9.
I must admit, the only thing on the album I don't like.
So glad you've discovered The Beatles!
The 'White Album' was the first album I ever bought with my own money, having saved change from the $1 a day my father gave me for my school lunch til I had enough as the album cost $10.94 in 1968 which was a lot then. I was so determined to get that album as it meant so much to me. This came about after a pre review of the album was done on the radio and I and my since passed friend Gary sat up very late to hear every track before the album was released. Luv ya Beatles!
Wish I would have been there in '68 to capture it when it was all new and fresh - and not just picked up on it when it was already a classic.
And worth every penny!
Nice Reaction. This album, Abbey Road and Revolver are my favs Beatles Albums.
This is a really hard album to react to. In a way, the album was made to be the anti-Beatle album. Part of its charm is that it's not like a "normal" Beatles album. So there's a weird lo-fi feel to the production. It's got a lot of silliness. It's such a weird Beatles album which makes it even more of a "Beatles" album.
It’s cool to see you enjoy this so much. It truly is very eclectic, so many different vibes, something for everyone. It would be hard for me to say what the Beatles most iconic album is, they had quite a few, including this one. As a ten year old we would put these on the record player and just lay in the dark and listen. Of course, you’d have to get up and flip the album to hear the other side!
Julia is one of the most beautifully haunting songs I've ever heard.
Jeebus, you go fearless as hell in your search for music, man!!!
Its crazy impressive. And you catch ALL the respect for it, man!
Glad people of all ages are still listening to this music. Not sure how old you are but I’m sixteen.
I think he said a few months ago that he is now 18.
@@showmoke nice
Nah I’m 19 turning 20 in a couple months
I'm 9
Each song so unique
'Why don't we do it in the road' to 'I Will' - now that's an interesting aesthetic transition by McCartney...
'Julia' is John's mum, who was run over and killed by a police car when he was 17.
A drunken policeman. Don’t know whether or not he was driving a police car at the time.
@@MsAppassionata An off duty, non-drunk trainee policeman, even though John sometimes said "drunk."
@@brandonflorida1092 I have always heard that he was drunk. Where did you hear that he wasn’t?
@@MsAppassionata Many dozens of sources. For example, read the biography of John Lennon by Phillip Norman.
Also, from the Wikipedia article on Julia Lennon:
"Julia was knocked down and killed by a Standard Vanguard car, driven by an off-duty constable, PC Eric Clague, who was a learner-driver. Clague was acquitted of all charges and given a short suspension from duty."

Glad your back!!! Would love to see:

- Joe’s garage act 1, 2, and 3 by Frank Zappa
- Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
- Fragile by Yes
- Selling England By The Pound by Genesis
What you're calling the "first side" was the entire first _disc_ of the original 2-LP set. The actual first _side_ went through "Happiness Is a Warm Gun"; then "Martha My Dear" kicked off side 2 of the LP.
The Beatles are simply groundbreakers in the human musical experience. Impossible to overstate that.
I am assuming that the hiccupped editing of the music is a consequence of copyright infringement? I suggest you buy the record, smoke a bowl, turn out the lights, put your headphones on, and prepare to be transported. And you ought to do that with EVERY Beatles album...there are, arguably, no duds! Also, the 50th anniversary editions of The White Album, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Pepper are the preferred editions as they have been completely remixed AND remastered. We are all waiting for the same to be done to ALL the remaining albums.
You should do a separate reaction for “Hey Jude”. The Beatles recorded it during the White Album sessions, but it was released apart from the album as a single. It was the Beatles most popular single, being number one on the Billboard Top 100 for something like 11 weeks and it’s acknowledged by some as their high water mark.
M favorite Beatles album for sure. Every member shines on this album and you can really feel each of the four Beatles unique presence throughout the course of the album. You can tell they weren’t just “The Beatles” anymore and each of had started to come into their own and begun to find their own identity.
Which was the beginning
of the end. Sadly enough :/
My mom and big brother had all their albums. I started listening to them in the mid 70s and remember tackling this album. I was still 7 or 8, but I loved it. You did such a great job on this. Thank you!
Funny to think I loved this album from the first play as a teenager when it came out 52 years back and I still love it now. I suspect this may be the same for you still listening and smiling at it in the 2070s.
I can vividly remember the night I bought this album. my best buddy's folks had a pretty high-end audio system and we played this album over and over during a weekend. We tried to figure out all the "wordplay and hidden meanings", It altered our perspective on life. and only the Beatles could get away with weaving classic musical instruments and scores into their music at the time. It really was a magical journey song to song and album to album. And then they could rock and get grungy with the best of them. And with the Beatles, you never know what the next song will bring. No TWO are ever the same.
Why Don't We Do It In the Road followed by I Will by the same person. Remarkable.
Love your videos man. Love the joy on your face you get from listening to some great music.
you are back!!! cool
There are no bad Beatle albums.
Beatles for sale. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's kind of weak in comparison to the others.
@@darklurker1239 that song has lots of cover
When the "White Album" first came out it wasn't well received because it was too far ahead of it's time. The only album the Beatles considered a failure was "Magical Mystery Tour"
@@allengator1914 How is an album with strawberry fields forever, penny lane, i am the walrus, hello goodbye and all you need is love considered a failure?
Yellow Submarine
Yes it's a studio album after the white album
Have 6 songs and the rests are soundtrack made by George Martin
Really loved this video, it's rare you find someone who really talks about and explains how they feel about what they're reacting to and brings new insight into songs that I wouldn't have thought of or realized. Keep up the great work hope you keep growing and keep grindin!
You're back! Hope you do the whole album
Ofc I will 🙏🏾
Four angels playing music bro. Glad u sharing these treasures of our civilization.
Lol. They were no angels but they were great nonetheless.
I absolutely love watching these young people when they hear the Beatles either the first time or a particular album. One of them was listening to ram the other day and yes I know that’s Paul McCartney. And he said oh no wonder this guy is so famous. I had to giggle. Listen to the whole catalog and there’s solo catalogs. You will not believe it!
Whatever you think, the Beatles were not a band: they were a miracle: no one made what they did in 8 years, from "Please please me" to "Abbey road", and considering all in between. Sorry for my English...
Your English is excellent. So is your taste in music. Cheers.
I love the way you are going through every song the way you are breaking it down brilliant !
Between recording these songs there was a LOAD of stuff going on with the band, stuff that was beginning to tear the band apart. Ringo Starr even left the band for a period because he felt that he was being minimalized by his mates, and George Harrison was feeling the same. Also, Yoko Ono's presence was being felt, and she was getting involved in some of these songs. She even gets recorded in "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" as Bill's "mom." Her voice is also heard in "Revolution 9."
It's sort of amazing that they still got as much done as they did on this album, and even still produced two more albums before their final breakup. I'm happy to see you enjoy this music.
i like you out of alot of song reviewers since you listen to the full album
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to one of my all time favorite albums. Your genuine curiosity and interesting insights made this a joy to watch. There are a lot of people out there reacting to music, but very few as real and insightful as this. First reaction I have watched by you. It will definitely not be the last. Keep it up. The sky is the limit for what your channel can become.
None of the Beatles could primal screech like Paul
Been looking forward to this, a big fan of the people you’ve reacted to. Great reactions too, thanks for the video
really nice job - you have much deeper thoughts and insights than when I was listening to this at your age - and I'm a huge Beatle fan ... huge
Your reaction was great. It was fun. As a longtime (50 years) Beatles fan I look forward to your doing the second part. Peace
This was a very thoughtful reaction. Bear in mind that there's really good rock going back as far as the mid-50s.
Great, thoughtful reaction! Lennon saw the title Happiness is a warm GUN on the cover of a gun magazine It is a satire of the pro gun movement.
It also makes you think of a sexual reference too.
21:34 This lovely song was written for Paul's beloved sheepdog, Martha.
I think it was just named for her - as heard here, it's no more about the dog than Hey Jude was about Julian by the time he'd finished that one
I love watching you discover new music- your reaction let’s me feel I’m hearing it for the first time, too! This White Album is one of my favorite Beatles album, the Sargent Pepper and Abby Road.
Love your reaction and as someone else in the comment said - It's like 30 bands on one album. Amazing. Each song so different in tone and melody.
Such a strong album.
Well it is the Beatles, but still.
So much talent in this band.
Excellent reaction! Thankyou. Can't wait for side 2.
Was hyped to see this come up in my subscriptions, keep the good content coming my dude
Julia was about his mother with a reference to Yoko. His mother, who didn't raise John, died in a car accident when John was a young teen.
So fun watching You hear this music for the first time . Your attitude towards the music and perspective is awesome . I’ve heard this album my entire life . I was born in 68 my older sister loved the Beatles then and I still love them now . Engrained I’m my subconscious mind and embedded into my soul . Pink Floyd is a whole other story . So great to hear you love and respect music from the 60’s 70’s . Just feel it . Live it. Thanks for the enjoyment of living vicariously thru you for a few hours . One Love
FYI: Martha My Dear is about Paul McCartney's sheepdog.
some say it's really about Jane Asher
@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 Jane wasn't a dog :0
John Lennon is my favorite singer of all !
John and Paul are both of my favourites
Beatles make every generation smile, away and swoon.
Masterpiece in my top five
Love your album reactions.
I use to sing the lullaby "Good Night" to my daughter.
Hard to grasp, it's a Lennon tune.
It just sounds so age-old :D
like some traditional or something.
I really appreciate that you check out some info about the album that you're gonna listen to. Info such as what year it was released and its place in the discography.
Your attention to the 'feel' of the late sixties struck me. You want to understand what the atmosphere to the times was, and I respect that much.
I lived through the 60s and you are on the right track. Keep exploring and taking us on the ride. I like your channel and reactions. Subscribed.
This album has my favorite Paul song, Blackbird. It's his comment on the civil rights movement that was in the news
john did not hate ob la di, ob la da he even came up with the piano intro
You actually listened to sides one and two, since it was a double album set.
Back in the USSR was a nod to the Beach Boys, good comment on calling it a beach song.
Julia was John's mother's name, she was killed in a road accident when he was a teenager. Yoko means "ocean child" in Japanese.
Martha my dear ,paul wrote for his dog.. pretty sweet liked it even more after i learned that
Nice review of a fantastic album!!!👍✌😃
It’s the Beatles’ straight up masterpiece
Very good reaction to the white album. I enjoyed it very much the album has grown on me over time. Even the so called filler songs I enjoy mainly because of the track listing run. Very well thought mix. My fav songs on side 1 and 2 are happiness is a warm gun a and Julia' totally amazing song. Can't believe someone can write a song so good. Looking forward to the remainder of your review. Personally I think the white album is very good album e
Lennon at times wrote "nonsense" -- wordplay -- in part because he'd been doing that since childhood, and in part for fans who liked to figure things out.
i can't wait for your reaction to revolution number 9!
#9.....#9....
#9....#9.....#9.....#9....
When there's something repeated in the lyrics, it's important....
Hey Jony, I just noticed your Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo cap behind you...THAT'S my home team!! 🙂
hell yeah, jony! hope all is well, man!
Haven't heard this album in a long time. I think it's great that you listen to the whole albums.
'Dear Prudence' is about Prudence Farrow -- Mia Farrow's sister who was in India with them in '68. Mia Farrow starred in Rosemary's baby in '68, which was set/filmed in the Dakota Hotel, NY, where John was murdered. The closing scene of that film has the camera going upwards into the sky from the entranceway -- representing Lennon's soul ascending after death. (There are other strange connections too, including the Charles Manson murders and 'Helter Skelter'..)
I don't know how you came to that conclusion - since the film predates Lennon's murder by over a decade.
*Rocky Raccoon:* 'Tis but a scratch!
*Doc:* What?! Your arm's off!
*Rocky Raccoon:* I've had worse!
It's great to see someone going through their Beatles discovery as I did many years ago.
I love this album. It is the most dynamic and eclectic arrangement of songs that take you to every corner of your imagination. They are truly the kings.
Such a haunting feel to this album
Fantastic that you had the desire to listen to this whole LP. Side.one and most of two is still unsurpassed in quality.
This LP includes their sense of humor -- even IN the songs.
The Beatles were putting out so many songs that most were never released as singles (which was the way things were done in the 60's). So, Ob La De Ob La Da was recorded and released by another group, The Marmalade who took it to number one in the charts. Meaning that big list of number ones the Beatles had, missed this song.
Love this. Nothing else to say
Enjoyed your reaction
Great reaction video.
On this page Alani447a brought up the subject of the vinyl format - in the case of the White Album I personally would always advise reactors to listen to each of the four sides as a piece (and thus as a "talking point"). After all there's a reason why - just like on Pepper and Abbey Road - the vinyl was originally "unbanded" making it very difficult to pick out individual tracks
Taking into account all the "other" songs from 1968, you could say there's a phantom "third disc of the White Album" to be constructed. Revolution (the single version), Sour MIlk Sea, Child Of Nature, Circles, Junk, What's The New Mary Jane c/w Not Guilty, The Inner Light, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude
In Steven Tyler's (lead of Aerosmith) biography he says he and a friend ran in to John Lennon once and were allowed one question. The friends asked John what the meaning was behind the opening lyric of Happiness is a Warm Gun. John's answer was "it just sounded good coming out my mouth." I love that. So much obsession on the meaning behind their music and sometimes it just was a fire verse.
The glass onion would be a vase that's holding the bent back tulips in some restaurant somewhere.
My favourite Beatles album
Yo Jony you got a dope ass format I like the whole vid I just subscribed I think its cool as fuck that you react to some old stuff
Beatles are beautiful, addictive, hypnotic ..every album is so different.
Fiendjony, I too get a real kick out of watching young people like yourself listen to The Beatles for the first time. I am so glad that you are enjoying this music, and that you get that The Beatles were something special. They were an amazing band and no other band will ever equal them...In my opinion. Thanks for listening.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps is the most iconic song on this album. It's the song from this album that we still hear played a lot. This was George Harrison's first masterpiece. Within You Without You was the first very good Harrison song, on Sgt Pepper, but Guitar Gently Weeps is George's first, but not last, masterpiece. As you move to Abbey Road and Let It Be albums, you will hear more of George's masterpieces. I think of White album, Abbey Road and Let It Be as the late and last period of the Beatles. One feature of this period is that George comes into his own as a songwriter. These are my opinions of course.
Nice review.
