A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ CZcams. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of CZcams I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on CZcams won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This CZcams channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

The best Beatles song is the one you're listening to at the moment.
Well said!

@@noahroos5309 you don't have to be stoned but it helps
Yeah man ✌️🎼🎶🎶🎶🙏🏻
Naming a “best” Beatles song is an impossible task.
Naming the best band of all-time is easy tho.
Hey I know this guy
Really? How? Who?
Without Elvis or Chuck Berry there is no Beatles.
Without Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys, trying to out perform the Beatles and creating the album Pet Sounds, you don't have the Beatles inspired to create Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It influenced all Beatles albums after Sgt Pepper's.
It's closer to say, we have giants taking turns, standing on each other's shoulders to reach greater heights.
But, I could be wrong.
@@richjackson2986 I get what you're saying and agree with your statement of "giants taking turns" using the previous one's shoulder to reach greater heights. So, established that every giant takes a leap for music discovery, we can safely try to measure each band's greatness by seeing how big of a leap they took. If Elvis and Chuck did a 2 meter jump, then the Beatles jumped a mile.
@@PPCAPOGAMING they did jump a mile sonically, but they were influenced by many others like Bob Dylan, who obviously revolutionized and redifined songwriting in the early 60´s clearly pushing the Beatles and everybody else to write deeper more intrycate songs instead of the cvery simplistic (still great, simple is not bad) Love me DO/she loves you type songs the beatles were writing pre rubber soul
@@johnnyc6258 Yeah definitely! My statement still stands aside from how many influences the Beatles had.
When it comes to The Beatles, you haven't even scratched the surface of their variety and songwriting genius! They wrote over 200 hits. No band can ever come close.
Agreed
In six years they musically evolved more than most artists do in multiple decades.
In 6years they evolved more than the music industry does in decades
Divinely inspired (IMHO)
They literally developed music in general - not just their sound. They made pop music ART.
Eleanor Rigby
THIS!!!!!!!
Absolutely!
And also check out the version done by Zoot. czcams.com/video/iptr7i7sFkM/video.html
word!
My favorite!
“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.”
This line is powerful.
A social political message...that was john 's way to qet through....amazing lirycs..
you really can't see anything! Cuz you got your eyes closed! LOL but that's one way of looking at it
Still appropriate so many years later. It's timeless. Peace and Love, Chris.
I wish I could close my eyes
Ignorance is bliss, innocence can't be restored nor naivety. I wish the human condition didn't transform us so radically but it is inevitable.
"They keep blowing my mind"
That's what the Beatles did to us with every record release.
it was the sixties, man. They were always trying something different. They and their producer George Martin were freaking geniuses who brought the alchemy to what they did.
Indeed.
Also Geoff Emerick and the other sound engineers.
Eleanor Rigby, Norwegian Wood, Across the Universe.
Gonna have to second this comment man.
Barry Gibb did a really pretty cover of Norwegian Wood. The Bee Gee's were huge Beatles fans and then they ended up being good friends, especially Maurice with Ringo & John.
Eleanor Rigby has always been a personal favorite for me! ❤
Personally, I think Across the Universe is their best. I realize I am in the minority.
Wait till you hear *"Dear Prudence"* from The Beatles.
A song that always brings tears to my eyes during the outro. It's one of John's most beautiful songs and it's made even more interesting to learn about it's history.
Dear Prudence, yes! Always a favorite of mine. The dynamic buildup as the song progresses is masterful.
yesssssss
Eh I find it boring myself very repetitive and monotone until the end it finally starts to change
Great song
I believe Ringo is such an underrated drummer. This song shows how great he really is.
probably paul playing drums lol
he never mentions this as his best drumming songs but I think his drumming here is fantastic
@@briankirchhoefer that’s a fake story I’m afraid.
@@briankirchhoefer more fake news! Are you actually a Beatles fan? You need to brush up on your knowledge if you are.
@@briankirchhoefer No you definitely didn’t see the interview!!! But, if you did like you say you did, please please tell me, all the Beatles’ fans and in fact the whole world where we can see it because we’d all love to know!!
Ringo's drumming on EVERY Beatles song is so subtle, deft and underappreciated. His playing always swings, but fits perfectly to every single song. There are more technical drummers, more powerful drummers, more flashy drummers, but there is no drummer alive or dead who could have been a more perfect drummer for The Beatles than the one and only Ringo Starr.
Paul says that the one thing about Ring was his ability to establish and keep the beat, and that was core to everything that they ever did.
@@StaciArdmore he’s a metronome!
You definitely should react to eleanor rigby
Strawberry Fields was an orphanage near John's childhood home, "it's getting hard to be someone.." Paul in turn wrote "Penny Lane", another song from childhood memories.
Here comes the sun
It's actually Strawberry Field (singular) - but that didn't sound quite right.
About 15 years ago, I did a Beatles tour in Liverpool. I saw the big red gate and the field of flowers. It was pretty surreal.
@@Starbug1S1 I did the same tour in 2015! I agree it was in some way surreal but still cool seeing Strawberry Field (the red gates), Penny Lane and so on.
@@brianparker663 everybody graffitis (?) In the "S" on the gate sign..."Forever" too.
The Beatles never settled on a "sound." Other bands found what works for them, and stuck with it to produce hits. From the start, the Beatles never repeated ideas. Every album, every song was a progression, an evolution, never sticking to a "formula," yet you always knew it was them, and it always worked perfectly. It's really something else to listen to them in order. You can really hear how much they changed over time.
The Beatles never got boring…..ever
They had to give up performing live so were able to craft songs that they weren't going to play on stage. That was a freeing plus to the screaming girls.
To me.... Rubber Soul was their big turning point... Although, Revolver is my favorite album.
"Every time I hear a Beatle's song, it blows my mind!" - Welcome to the Beatles Freak Club. We welcome you to our club.
"I Am The Walrus" is an absolute must!!!!!!!!
Coo Coo Ca-choo.
@@dracoargentum9783 Semolina Pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
There's a reason The Beatles are known by almost everyone on Earth.
Some might say more popular than Jesus...
I was a teen all through the Beatles era, when a new song was released and I heard it on the radio the first time I would stop and just listen motionless. At the end I would always shake my head in amazement and think *"damn, they've done it again"* even though I had gotten to expect it ..... *and you're doing that now* ... I get it, all us oldies do.
Know what, that sounds exactly like me and being a teenager back then, I guess all of us had our ears glued to the radio and especially when a new song was aired, it was a stunning moment. In lockdown in NZ and reading these interesting, informative comments on the stories behind these songs which I didn't know about. Cheers!
And after I heard a new Beatles song on the radio, I went straight ti the record store and bought the album, lol. Great times
@victhor santos ... It certainly has a way of making me accept my age when I know that I was there from the start of Rock and Roll and I wouldn't have it any other way. A new Bowie single was much the same thing and he carried the flag when the Beatles broke up. He had several albums that were perfect from one end to the other.
I was almost seven when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan, and from that first moment, I was hooked.
Couldn't wait for each album release to see what they would bring this time. And they never disappointed.
Every song on every album is a keeper, hard pressed to find any throw aways. Their growth in approximately seven years is unsurpassed by any musical artist(s). The variety of styles in their songs is unmatched. The Beatles were a force of nature that will never be seen or heard again.
Music has this divine essence of immortality. Strawberry Fields Forever represents a whole new world in recording possibilities. I'd place this song in the same level as Beethoven's 9th or 5th symphonies.
The Beatles are transcendent. Every song is masterful and transcends time and space. Every generation falls in love with them. My 16 year old who likes punk and indie rock and rap absolutely loves The Beatles.
The older I get the more I realize what a genius George Martin was.
Thats so right! Thanks to his aunt (me) my great nephew already has a favourite Beatle - George. He's 3 years old!
101% TRUE!
Very well said
"Tomorrow Never Knows" from the album Revolver.
Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer It is not dying, it is not dying
The absolute bomb! It gave me the shivers at age 7 when I first heard it. It still holds up!
Their most influential Song
Allison Mosshart did a respectable cover of this song.
Whenever I hear a Beatles song I relive my 67 years of life. THANK YOU for the sound track of my youth and life
The Beatles are the greatest band hands down. Idc what anyone says. There may be better guitarists or writers, but as a whole they were something else all together. They were doing things no one else was doing.
The Beatles were ahead of their times. They were doing “post-credit scenes” in their songs 50 years before Marvel was doing it in their movies.
Good comparison!
If you haven't heard 'Tomorrow Never Knows', you need to.
Like, right NOW!
Yes!!!!!
There are some bands from the 90's that made entire careers from aping that one song
Within Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows is the bomb!
he gotta be high as fuck tho, shit had me shaking the first time i heard it🤣
I can't get enough of your Beatles reactions. I don't really know why, I've listened to them for 25 years, but there's something about watching you get into it from an unrelated angle that just DOES ME MAN, yeah! Welcome. And big respect for widening your ears. Imagine how much more music is waiting for you.
Yes, that’s why everyone knows them, they did that to all of us!
Music from the Beatles was a gift to all of us straight from god.
HUGE facts
I thank God I was born in 1949 and lived through it all.
Tom Petty had some great quotes regarding that: The first one was similar to yours in that he said if one was a teenager growing up in the 1960's, The Beatles were like a gift from above. The second quote was, "The Beatles turned the 1960's from black and white to color".
Pretty sure John Lennon would want you to know that god had nothing to do with it... if you can “Imagine.”
Lloyd Clefstad Yep. And I agree with him. He just ain’t up there..
I think you'd love Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds
Their most lysergic song.
@@martyslazenger935 "I am the walrus" is also trippy but in a more robust way. Different drugs? 🤪
The fab four spent years saying the song was definitely NOT about LSD, lol. Just a bit of serendipity, with really tripped out lyrics. It did turn out to be a key number in the development of the psychedelic genre.
@@ziggymarlowe5654 McCartney eventually admitted it. Their trippiest song might actually be Tomorrow Never Knows.
Mind blowing
It blew your mind. They takes you somewhere special, the music is electric.
Just the fact that you're now discovering the beatles warms my heart. The more the younger generation understand that so much of today's music was because of so many pioneers that came before them, then they will appreciate music in a different way
“The Beatles keep blowing my mind” lol
Imagine living in the 60s and hearing them back then
I keep thinking that I can’t even imagine
Mindblowing everybody litteraly every freakin 6 months haha
@ Jerry Jaquinto - I DID!
I was around at the time and I was without a doubt, mind-blown....... to the nth degree!
This song was released on this day (February 13) in 1967. John Lennon was 26.
George Harrison had just turned 27yo when The Beatles broke up in 1970! It's mindblowing what he achieved by such an early age.
@@Blubai67 I know! It’s absolutely insane.
54 yrs ago .... I was only 5 ...
@@classic-kool I was only -12 🙂
Wow. The same day!!!
"Strawberry Fields Forever", written by John Lennon, based on memories of his childhood playing in the garden of "Strawberry Field," a Salvation Army home in Liverpool, England.
The song features reverse-recorded instrumentation, mellotron flute sounds, and Indian swarmandal, tape loops and a fade-in/fade-out coda, as well as a cello and brass arrangement by producer George Martin.
Actually, Strawberry Fields was an unwed mother's home, where teen aged girls that became pregnant would go to have their babies and continue their schooling. Hence, the line "Nothing is real" A baby without the father's name.
Strawberry field writen by Paul..bro
@@arifindnasir3434 Lennon wrote this while he was in Spain working on a movie called "How I Won the War."
@@williamkambeitz1179 no, it was an orphanage
John wasn't supposed to be playing there. His Aunt Mimi (who basically raised him) used to say it was "nothing to get hung about", meaning that she couldn't understand what was so special about the place that he kept risking getting in trouble in order to be there.
Every song by the Beatles was its own little masterpiece, or groundbreaking, or pushing the envelope. Even their early songs quickly grabbed the world as fresh and unique. No two songs sounded the same. Each album was a giant leap from the one before it. It’s hard to realize if you weren’t there when each one was released, but they broke the mold over and over and over. True visionaries.
The Beatles liked to mess with their audience. They knew everybody was trying to figure out what they were doing, so they routinely just played around with the listeners' heads. They were that good, they had senses of humor, and they loved to tease.
And they did many very cool pyschedelic songs.
hum or what?
Mr. Rome: They had done so much with "standard" recording, that they got into experimenting with reversing tape, overdubbing, adding audio clips, etc. It is what started the "is Paul Dead?" rumors and debates. At the end of this song, for instance, in the basic quality of the day, it sounds like John saying "I buried Paul". (Go back and Listen.) In subsequent remasters, he says "Cranberry Sauce". That is an entire rabbit hole to dive into when you have the time. Also, dive into John's books like "A Spaniard In The Works". He had a spectacular way of bending and misusing words for creativity! Peace and Love!
@JustMe It seems to happen to a lot of bands.
The biggest fact about 'Strawberry Fields forever' is it is an edit of two separate recording sessions, different backing arrangements, and in different keys. Take 7 was just the band, and Take 26 was starting from scratch with a whole new orchestral arrangement. Lennon decided he liked both and asked George Martin, their producer, to use the first version at the beginning of the song and then the second version for the rest (it comes in approximately a minute into the song). John just didn't see it as a problem and just believed Martin could fix anything. With modern digital recording this wouldn't be an issue at all, but in 1967 this was only achieved with great skill. Separately altering both versions speeds, speeding up the first and slowing down the second, so the pitches matched better, and then literally splicing the recording tape and sticking them together. This means the key of the final edit is somewhere in between the keys of A major and Bb major. Luck was very much on George Martin's side that the 2 versions married up so well, and John Lennon was justly delighted.
Great info thanx for that!!
Wow not a lot of people know the history of this song. In music theory it was the song that broke all the rules and became the exception to the rule of music. It was AWESOME!
That's incredible! Thank you for that information!
Perfectly explained , kudos MrDiddyDee. I have to a smart Alec and just add that Geoff Emerick (The Beatles' Sound Engineer and able assisstant to George Martin on this track) needs a mention too.
Great comment, I think I remember that story.
Thank god I grew up in the 60's.
Jealous.
Me too 🌸
I dont think everybody thinks like you do.
Im 72 years old and the music youre reacting to was the soundtrack of my life! 😊I'm loving watching you experiencing the Beatles! They are incredible! Yes! They were so far ahead of their time! There isn't one song you can say is the best. The songs on the Sargent Pepper album and the Magical Mystery Tour, although they are wonderful on their own, are best listened to as a whole. The music on the white album is so experimental. This was later when they had matured musically and were free to explore and do what they wanted. Keep on listening! Each song is a gem! And then listen to John Lennon after the breakup. His music was wonderful! I miss him. ❤
I KNOW you’ll LOVE “In My Life” by the Beatles. So poignant, so nostalgic, so beautiful 🥰♥️🎶
Ya that's a wonderful one
that song and strawberry fields are my best songs of The Beatles.
Aaaaaaand that damn song always makes me teary 🥲
Again, "Eleanor Rigby."
Yes!!
Strawberry Fields is a real place that John & Paul knew growing up in Liverpool. It was a large house in park-like grounds which served as an orphanage.
It's so fun to watch someone catch the fever that we have had all this time. They get inside your head, rewire your thoughts and boast your dopamine. A blessing to this planet.
“Lucy in the sky with diamonds” , “across the universe”, and “tomorrow never knows”. Beatles psychedelic at its best, all written primarily and sung by John Lennon
Eleanor Rigby does it for me...
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds = LSD, Strawberry Fields - A very popular form of LSD in the late 60's early 70's (I ought to know from experience.) Psychedelia.
Tomorrow never knows is definitely a song he should react to
LSD sucks
Tomorrow never knows and later only sound like they do because of Pauls tape looping innovations
They’re the greatest band of all time everyone is influenced by them they’ll never be anyone as good ever again.
End of. 😂
Innovative! Who else has mastered a song for you to think it's over and then continues moments later? What genius!! Instead of typical band instruments, the Beatles incorporate orchestra into their songs. So versatile! A masterpiece in its construction. Strawberry Fields is one of a kind in music history. Thanks in part to George Martin, the "fifth" Beatle.
"She said, She said" on the album Revolver. You'll love the drumming, too.
"Within You and Without You"
"Nowhere Man"
A couple more you will like.
Some of my favorites you should check out are: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Glass Onion, Yellow Submarine, With a Little Help from My Friends, Polythene Pam, Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Ob-La Di, Ob-La Da.
A few early ones worth mentioning are Help, Twist and Shout, Love Me Do, All My Loving, and I Want to Hold Your Hand. But honestly you can scarcely go wrong with any of their material, be it earlier or later.
Nowhere Man was my Favorite growing up.
He would not like Within You Without You 😂
Within you and without you? Probably one of the least liked Beatles songs
@@barrytrotterisweird It’s certainly one of my most disliked
In My Life makes me cry, is the best song ever.
I can't tell you how exceedingly happy I am that you took a chance on THE BEATLES. Now you've opened them up to new generations.
So many of us have memorized the lyrics to all of their songs.
You are an articulate, music savy young man. Your message about following dreams and the hard work it takes to achieve them is great
God Bless you and yours.
You're right ..... take some time, because we all listened to a masterpiece ;-)
(frankly speaking i think it's one of my favourites of all times.)
“Hello, Goodbye” “Dear Prudence” “Don’t Let Me Down” “Yellow Submarine” and “Something” are some really good Beatles songs.
‘Hello Goodbye’ and ‘Yellow Submarine’ are rubbish. Not worth a reaction.

@@elowishusmirkatroid4898 more of John's "way with words".
Mate, I’m loving your videos - it’s like I get to listen to the Beatles for the first time again. Did you know they invented these recording tricks - no one had ever done anything like this before! They were genius!
After The Beatles stopped touring as a live band and committed to studio albums, it was all about experimentation. Their music became so complex that, at the time, it was next to impossible to perform most of their heavily produced work. I still believe that "It's All Too Much" is one of the most underrated Beatles songs from their mid (psychedelic) period. Enjoy your discoveries.
So correct!! It's All Too Much, such a classic! Try and reproduce that song on stage!
Such deep and many levelled meaning in such simple lyrics. Lennon's masterpiece.
Strawberry fields was at a neighborhood house near John when he was a young lad. It had a wall around it with overgrown gardens I belive it said Strawberry Fields on it, John often hanged out back there, probably smoking cigarettes back in those days i belive the story goes.
Hey just imagine what it was like to first hear that when it was first released when i was a kid...
"In My Life" by the Beatles, one of the most beautiful songs ever written. "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys is right there with it. Treat yourself to those Brother. Thanx for what you do.
There is an area in Central Park that was landscaped as a memorial for Lennon. It was named Strawberry Fields after the song. It is on the west side of the park close to The Dakota, the building Lennon had an apartment in and in where he was shot in the courtyard.
Oh wow. Never knew.
Yep! That’s my neighborhood ( not the Dakota ...I wish) still a major tourist attraction I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been walking through the park and have have been asked how to get there.
I was on an airplane on my way home to New York on military leave when the Pilot announced on the Pa that John Lennon was shot and killed. There wasn't a dry eye on that flight. I think I cried for 3 days straight.
@@charlesmagliocco8932 what a story!!!!😿
We all remember where we were when Lennon died. It was life changing.
Yep-you got it! The “false fade out”. The Beatles were doing this on several songs during this 1967-68 period. It becomes part of the song, as it does here with Strawberry Fields Forever.
I have so much literature on the Beatles. I’ve been listening to them for 57 years and they still sound fresh to me! For their history, a good starting point would be to watch the anthology series which aired in the 1990s. There are three parts.
Mind you, I do love a lot of other bands but the Beatles remain at the top of my list.
Check out "I Am The Walrus" a.s.a.p. It's also from the Magical Mystery Tour album. PS. The Beatles began to tack little bits to the end of songs starting with this one, but I could be wrong about that. "Cry Baby Cry" from The White Album is another song like that. "Her Majesty" from the Abbey Road album might count too. And then there is the masterpiece that is the Abbey Road medley...
There was the inner groove at the end of Sergeant Pepper
My favorite!! Definitely.
Yes!!!
Talking about easter eggs....
MMT was not an album but an EP, extended play 45
Believe me....try “Don’t Let Me Down” also totally different than everything you’ve done so far.
Do the rooftop version

@@donaldbrunner6250 yeah!
@@funkyrooster6268 Don't let me down too
We listened to this song in history class in 91 and all the hip hop kids were doing the same thing with their heads as you are and me. I never forgot that moment.
I can't tell you the unbridled joy I get watching someone discover The Beatles for the first time! It also makes me wish I could do it again too.
I see a lot of people contributing their suggestions. Mine is: Listen to Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, The White Album and Abbey Road in Order.
Each of these albums is an experience on itself.
Ah heck, just listen to every Beatles song. Even Revolution 9.
Love your documentaries; yea that sounds about right.
I had one those old fashioned tape recorders & put #9 on it. I’d sneak into my little sisters bedroom when she was asleep & play it. Hysterical! She’d wake up screaming & run down the hall & jump in with my parents. I kept doing it until my parents figured it out. Bad Melissa!
Fun Fact about Strawberry Fields:
The final mix of this song is actually two completely different takes (there were 26 in total) that were manually put together, but as the latter was recorded at much higher speed and in a different key, they slowed it down in order to fit together.
This transition happens about 1 minute into the song.
Dig that moniker. Very funny, man.
@@billmann6278 ...Thanks?
Good job. You know simple Beatles trivia

@love.galore.x Thanks, glad you liked it!
It's always nice to see new people starting to getting into the Beatles, I can relate to it as well :)
This song broke the mould of music production and changed it's direction forever. Just decorating silence without rules, or preconceptions.
Complete artistic freedom.
Strawberry fields is a real place in Liverpool and a salvation army site now. Apparently, it was a special place in johns heart.
Head down this rabbit hole and you'll never resurface....Help, I Feel Fine, Rain, I'm Only Sleeping, Nowhere Man, Here Comes the Sun, Don't Let me Down, Blackbird, You've Got to Hide Your love Away.....and about 50+ more
The biggest cool thing about this song is that they stitched it together from two takes that each had things they liked. The problem was they were different tempos AND keys! Amazingly, George Martin (their legendary producer) and Geoff Emerick (the engineer) managed to get it to work by speeding up the beginning (gradually so you don't notice it) and slowing the rest. It's almost impossible to hear where they actually make the switch (about 1 minute in). You can hear that more instruments come in, and Lennon's voice sounds deeper from there on, because it was slowed down.
I had mentioned this same process, earlier. It's good for people to know about this because it shows the brilliance of studio technicians who make things works, even when you expect them not to work. They know their stuff, especially George and Geoff who are (were) brilliant!
I have a bootleg cd that has the evolution of both versions from inception to completion. Amazing.✌
Start with the earliest album that you dig a song from, and listen to it front to back in one sitting. Dang it, I love the heck out o' the Beatles X
What you are going through is what we went through sixty years ago.It does not matter what time and year you first listen to them,the reaction is the same.Total and utter amazement and awe.There will no other band like them.They are and were the best ever.Many other greats came but they were the first to arrive and open that door for others.For me when they broke up,it was Bowie that made a massive impression on me but the Beatles will always be numero uno.The burst onto the scene in 1962 and in 8 years changed the face of music forever.It's your turn now to discover them.Better get started.A massive musical adventure awaits you.
Not just singles, you need to listen to their albums in entirety
That's a whole other experience.
Amen
Tomorrow Never Knows
I'm Only Sleeping
Those are my two recommendations
throw in For No One, Eleanor Rigby and Here There and Everywhere. Oh, and And Your Bird Can Sing.
God Revolver is good...
@@samsowden the best album ever
Whats amazing about the Beatles is how many different musicians think they are the best ever. If your into Metal, Punk, Country, Rap even Thrash....you realize the Beatles greatness.
'A Day in the Life' always blew my mind the most, out of all the Beatle's tunes. But I didn't know that it was also intended to be for dogs.
There's a dog whistle before the 'run-off groove' noises.
There is a movie called "Across the Universe" that uses all Beatles songs throughout the movie. I think you'd like it. :)
That was one of the very short list of movies that I thought was actually worth owning in BluRay.
I have lost track of the number of different copies of "Across the Universe" I have bought/downloaded through out the years.
@@dracoargentum9783 The copy I had with me in Iraq got all scratched up because I lent it out to so many people :)
Right, so many fans of the movie in this subthread - I was hooked at the Dear Prudence scene with the astounding visuals to go with the astounding music.
I am watching that part again, and holy crap, it can still bring me to tears.
I would never be able to articulate how amazing this song is, lyrically and musically. It’s in my top 2. Never apologize for doing more Beatles reaction. You’re wrong- your appreciation and love for them grows the more songs you discover❤️✌️
They used to be called the Quarrymen. They first played in St Peter's church hall and on the school fields attached to the church. I live by Strawberry Fields, so we get a lot of Beatlemania around here & tourists. It's great they're still world renowned and you're getting to discover them.
Welcome to The Beatles, my man. I'm 58 and got to know their music as a kid. Biggest musical influence of my life.
Hey buddy next you should react to these others super hits from them: "Hello Goodbye", "Penny Lane", "All you need is Love", "Magical mistery tour", "I am the Walrus" & "Your Mother should know", trust me you will go over nuts. Ronny
Penny Lane, yes!
Fool on the Hill
Whilst I completely agree with you… Eventually these videos will just become quite repetitive. There’s only so many ways you can say how great something or someone is differently.
All You Need Is Love, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Hey Jude, etc.
A few years ahead of its time for late 1966 when recording this. Incredible they went from I Want To Hold Your Hand to this in just 3 years. It is mind blowing.
The Beatles music: one of the best rabbit holes you can go down.
You have to listen to Helter Skelter. You’ll be shocked.
in my opinion Paul McCartney invented heavy metal with helter skelter. go listen to his screams. fucken awesome.
Helter skelter is a terrible song
@@antonioiniguez1615 I think it went miles above you.
@@johnnydangerously9598 John Lennon invented punk with his cover of twist and shout
@@codyscards6698 I credit Iggy and the stooges and the mc5 with creating punk. Twist and shout while a great song definitely sounds like pop to me.
Do “tomorrow never knows” by the beatles
This is great. I love his innocence. Im 73 years old and i can tell you I Am The Walrus is the next song for your review. Well done.
Thanks for an exciting reaction, Rome. Yes, lots of Beatles' songs have what I call a "false ending" right before the song's actual conclusion ... Although none others' Coda is as "delayed" as the 1 in this song you just reviewed.
You got to listen the abbey road medley. 20+ minutes of pure genius. Is like their farewell before the band disbanded
Well, before they publicly disbanded. They'd already privately split by the time Abbey Road was released.
the drum solo in this is the end is so amazing, the whole abbey road is a work of art, can´t belive they did it in the late 60s.
It’s all about their home town of liver pool, and a song has never represented a place I have never visited myself as amazingly and beautifully as that one
@@MattTOB618 One of my fave's is the B side of Abby Road
The medley is iconic as fuck!
Revolver is the album that was the game changer to the beatles, my favorite is "I´m only sleeping", if you have the time, check it out.
And about the "ending" piece lost in the end, sometimes is about to prepare to the next track, other times is just to set the mood to ther rest of the album, and sometimes is about goof around, it´s just a bunch of the songs that have this comeback.
The fact that they were bigger than life...knew it and tried so hard to be themselves. Watch the movie A Hard Days Night. It gives you a feel of their lives in the first years of THE BEATLES. Peace, love and respect.

There was a few weeks in 1964 where all of the Top 5 records on the charts were Beatles songs. And keep in mind, they churned out 2 or 3 albums a year.
