About
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Beatles, an iconic English rock band from Liverpool, revolutionized music and culture worldwide during the 1960s. Comprising John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, their innovative approach to music and mastery in songwriting led them to become one of the most influential bands in history.
"Eleanor Rigby," a song from their 1966 album "Revolver," stands out as a poignant masterpiece in their discography. Unlike their earlier love-themed tracks, "Eleanor Rigby" delves into themes of loneliness and despair, set against a backdrop of a string quartet-a departure from the band's typical rock instrumentation. Paul McCartney's narrative lyricism paints a vivid picture of the titular Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie, weaving a tale that resonates with the existential angst and social isolation of modern life. This groundbreaking track not only showcased The Beatles' artistic evolution but also highlighted their willingness to explore complex emotions and experiment with new sounds, cementing their legacy as pioneers of pop and rock music.

Comparing the Backstreet boys to the Beatles is like comparing Mickey Mouse to Superman
bak street whoo?!
Can't hold a candle to them. Puleeezr😡🤬🤬
Brilliant The Beatles changed modern music forever
The Beatles were among the first to write their own music - and Miss Stephanie, they are responsible for all the music that came after.
It's about people who pass through the world unnoticed, and lonely.
Love this song! In an October 2021 article in The New Yorker, McCartney wrote that his inspiration for "Eleanor Rigby" was an old lady who lived alone and whom he got to know very well. He would go shopping for her and sit in her kitchen listening to stories and her crystal radio set.
And he said in one documentary that “keeping her face in a jar”related the old ladies putting on face cream to stop the wrinkles.
They also wrote hits for many others. The first big hit for The Rolling Stones-I Wanna Be Your Man-was written by Lennon/McCartney. As for the Eleanor Rigby grave, it's a coincidence according to Paul who wrote it, but her grave is next to the hall in Liverpool where Paul first met John and joined Johns band
Yes- the grave marked “Eleanor Rigby” is in the churchyard where John and Paul first met.
My friends, after playing a song by Lennon, one by Paul and another by both of them, now it's George's turn. I think Something or Here Comes the Sun would be a good example. Thank you.
Inner Light too!
@@B.R.0101 Love that one too. Wish it would get more attention from reviewers.
The Beatles started out as a cover band. They started to write their own songs out of necessity when other acts on the same bill performing before them would play popular songs that the Beatles intended to perform. Thus, the best solution was to write their own songs ensuring other acts couldn't play them. Many early Beatle albums contain several covers from people they admired, including Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins among others. What they accomplished in a relatively short time, {62-70) will never be matched. Their influence went beyond music, from the way they wore their hair, their fashion and bands playing their own instruments to name a few. Name a band that is still as popular as the Beatles 60 years on. The Beatles were, are and will be the greatest band to ever exist.
They didn't start out as a "covers band",they were writing songs before they even performed. McCartney wrote 'When I'm 64' at around 14 for instance.
Thanks for getting this out there. It blows me away how much misinformation can be found on social media. @@normandavidtidiman9918
Totalmente! de acuerdo dennys, la mejor banda de todos los tiempos.
From Quora: John Lennon loved “Buddy Holly and the Crickets" so he and the boys toyed with insect names. John came up with beetles. He changed it to “Beatles” because if you turn it around, it was “Les Beat" which sounded French and cool. They settled for “Silver Beatles”.
The boys had a regular gig at local clubs and nightspots twice a week and John was certain that music was his future. He and the boys were longing for the big break, and while they waited they dropped the “Silver" and the group became known as “The Beatles
The Beatles name came from the Liverpool slang for the music genre of young bands playing the local clubs in the late 50s, early 60s, largely influenced by American rock, blues, soul, and country music, combined with a really dirty, poor, post war, blue collar city vibe. It was dubbed "Beat Music" taken from the local printed rag called "The Mersey Beat". It was a magazine listing band Showtime's and articles. Bill Harry, the founder, was a school friend of John's, so the Beatles were featured a lot. That and the fact that they were the best band, especially after their two year stint in Hamberg, Germany.
Well, the Backstreet Boys and the Beatles have very little in common... The Beatles were not virtuosos, but very tricky instrumentalists, who played all night long in dark clubs and basements years before their breakthrough. Thus created a rock-solid basis on guitar, bass and drums. Later they also developed into multi-instrumentalists.
In the studio, they were also joined by numerous professional musicians under the direction of George Martin, to record special orchestral sounds or certain instruments, as here in "Eleanor Rigby", in which the Beatles can only be heard singing.
How (and why) do you avoid the Beatles your whole life? "A simple song"?? lol "Like the Backstreet Boys"?? BARF!!
🙄 There are no words....to describe....this.....incredibly....dumb...moment.... 🤪
Eleanor is a common name in england, especially back in 20th century. And Rigby is an english surname. Would make sense why there's a grave.
whatever
Yes indeed, there were probably quite a few Eleanor Rigby's. The main coincidence I think is that her gravestone in Liverpool is in a churchyard that Paul is known to have walked through - IIRC, I think it was St Peter's in Woolton, where the Quarrymen performed at the church fete where John and Paul first met.
More Beatles pls
The Beatles took their name from Buddy Holly and The Crickets. Tha played the Ed Sullivan Show in '64. They played Shea in '65. But still recorded at Abbey Road in the UK.
Miss Stephanie, when you will know their whole work (from "Please please me" to "Abbey road" and all in between) you will see they were not a band but a miracle.
You should buy her the Beatles Anthology....A huge collection of all the Beatles music.
McCartney attributed the name to a combination of the actress Eleanor Bron, and the name of a store in Bristol, “Rigby & Evens Ltd however Lennon and McCartney would regularly take short cuts through the church grounds in the early days before they became The Beatles. In the cemetery at St. Peter’s, a gravestone bears the name of Eleanor Rigby.
A lot of Monkees songs were written by Boyce & Hart, the very light Lennon/McCartney.
Mike wrote "Papa's Gene's Blues" and co-wrote "Sweet Young Thing" on the first album and Pete played guitar on both songs.
John chose the name Beetles as an homage to Buddy Holly and the Crickets, both insect names, then decided to make a musical pun by spelling it as The "Beat"les!
Ha! That's interesting. Thank you for sharing that.
I find it hard to believe that anybody in their 20s to 30s hasn't heard Elanor Rigby.
Believe it!
The Beatles DID cover some songs when they first started out.
Ooof! Looks like this could be a long and difficult education programme. So many misconceptions to get through here before one can even start to appreciate the music and the cultural phenomenon of the Beatles.
With this complete absence of cultural / historical context, perhaps it might help Steph to watch a couple of documentaries that would at least give some idea of what and who she's listening to.
A Brief History of the Beatles, (a brief but almost 100% accurate outline of who they are in the time frame they were active as a band),and
How the Beatles Changed the World (I think??) (this is a much longer one, going more into their cultural significance)
I think these two together would provide at least the beginnings of that missing framework for understanding and appreciating the most influential musical group of the 20th century.
I was looking for the "A Brief History of the Beatles" video to give them the link, but I couldn't find it, it had been on You tube for years. So I saw one that had the title "How the Beatles Changed MUSIC" so I clicked on it to see what it was, as it had a similar running time as "A Brief History of the Beatles" WELL, someone CHANGED the NAME of it, so it IS "A Brief History of the Beatles" but NOW it's called "HOW THE BEATLES CHANGED MUSIC" (there IS a video out there that is called "How the Beatles Changed the WORLD" but it's longer and not the same thing." What they REALLY need to watch is the "BEATLES ANTHOLOGY" series which is on 6 DVDs, which was done by the Beatles themselves. Plus there are a LOT of longer Beatles documentaries here on You Tube, that they could watch.
Guys, it was a two minute song because in the 60's era of A.M. radio, none of them were much longer than 3:00. FM in the 70's led to entire album sides being played (In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Chicago Transit Authority), etc, and FM SimulCast followed not long after. Music changed to fit the allotted time.
I think she is watching yhe video more than concentrating on the song......would be better if she heard from the album without the videos.........try Oh Darling next
Interestingly enough, there wasn't a video. It was taken from the Beatles 1 record... Here is the video :) czcams.com/video/6gluNoLVKiQ/video.html
It may well be partially a comment of the state of Britain in the 60s, which was only just emerging from post war austerity. Many of the previous generation were still traumatized by losing family and friends in WWII and it had a profound effect (as had WWI) on religious faith.
It is used in the opening to the cartoon "Yellow Submarine" set on the streets of Liverpool and some of this mood is reflected there.
The name Beatles was inspired by Buddy Holly and The Crickets.
The Beatles are named in homage to Buddy Holly and The Crickets. Although the Brits invaded and took over US music, the UK scene was influenced by US RandB and Blues artists. Jimmy Page's favorite guitar solo as an aspiring guitarist was from "ooh My Head" by Richie Valens. You should do a reaction to "American Pie" by Don Mclean and give her the full story of The British Invasion and The Day The Music Died....otherwise she's going to think that the US only response to The Beatles was The Monkees!
hahahaa you right!!!
They had plenty of British influences too. You didn't even pick the best video to make this comment.... this song had no american influence.
Also all american music is influenced by European music, which includes british.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerekBlues and Jazz arent based in European music. Grunge and Hip Hop arent European music. Brits listened to American Blues more than Americans did...and taught it to us through bands like the Stones and Beatles. There was a give-and-take made a bit one-sided after Buddy Holly died, but DOESNT AT ALL mean that all US music is influenced by European music. More correct to say it the other way...even with Punk.
@@Gekokujo76 False.
The music is George Martin again adding a string quartet and only the Beatles vocals to the track.
CZcams this track in strings only and you can hear how George Martin directed the string section.
I thought that you weren't allowed to play Beatle music on CZcams. Not much mysterious about this song. It's all there. Like a film script. Where has this woman been?
I think the Monkees get kind of a bum rap. At first they didn't, and weren't allowed to write their own songs. But they eventually did start writing their own songs. Many artists didn't write their own music. For example, Elvis literally didn't write one song.
Also, even though Mike and Peter actually could play instruments, they weren't allowed to play them either at first but again, everyone in the band eventually started playing their own instruments. But as you say, in contrast, many bands didn't play their own instruments.
All that being said, I do think they had a lot of great songs but they could never compare to the greatness that was The Beatles. I personally don't think anyone could compare to them.
I agree, there were many 60s groups that didn’t play instruments and/or write their own songs. E.g. most Motown groups. But none of them were reviled like the Monkees.
Well they didn't do everything, George Martin wrote and orchestrated this whole song's instrumental😂😂😂😂 but i understand you needed to stop her thinking the beatles were like backstreet boys😂😂😂😂
You’ve got it at a faster speed than the actual recording.
It sounds like the vocals have been lifted a bit in this version.
I think she's right in one aspect, which is the appeal of both groups to the teen girl demographic. That and both appearing in the "B" section of the record bins are the ONLY points of comparison.
The only record they didn't play their instruments on.
There are a few others: The Inner Light and Good Night among them.
Simple song. SIMPLE SONG? Good Grief!
You mean to tell me that she has never heard of this song? Even if you don't like it. It has been played many times.
Nope.. She was raised in a Now That's What I Call Music world... She never heard hardly ANYTHING from the 60s/70s/80s... and even some nineties. I am amazed as well, but that's why she is a great person to take along this musical journey. :)
Where's the " pure shock " part ?
Don't over think it.
its sugested that its about v crowds at ver concerts. i didint hear v comparasin 2 v bsbs as my mind instantly exploded in disbelief that my hearing had failed.
The course was written by George.
You mean "chorus", but that statement is really a misunderstanding.
I am wondering WHY you are not showing the videos that came with all the Beatles songs you have reacted to so far?
Copyright issues. Believe me, I would love to show her videos. But it wouldn't make sense to show it to her and not to all of you.
your face at 4:23 was sheer horror
Hahahhaha. She compared the BEATLES to the BACKSTREET BOYS. I felt the need to invoke some humor...and also like you said..sheer horror! Lol
You NEVER EVER EVER compare The Beatles to The Backstreet Boys. The Beatles are the Greatest band of all time. They are History. The backstreet boys are an afterthought.
I completely agree with you...
You overspeak. The Beatles played and recorded covers. Of the 213 songs they released between 1963 and 1970, 25 were covers.
You had it playing at the wrong speed. Too fast
Be fair, the Beatles weren't playing those violins.
Yepppp... but it's a Paul composition, so there is the Beatles. :)
She looks like my ex when she was younger
the BEATLES a BOY BAND!? ARRGHHH! "Boy Bands" like The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, etc. Played NO instruments, and did choreographed DANCE routines while singing or sometimes LIP SYNCing to their music. The Beatles NEVER did that. They played their own instruments, while singing, DIDN'T dance and wrote their own music. PLEASE SHOW the video so we can ALL see it, while you BOTH REACT to the VIDEO for "EIGHT DAYS A WEEK", here is the link czcams.com/video/kle2xHhRHg4/video.html It shows the Beatles PERFORMING in SHEA STADIUM on AUG. 15, 1965, and you can see the FANS REACTIONS, the BEATLES ON STAGE, and BACK STAGE before the show, and in the HELICOPTER taking them to the stadium and them looking out the window at the stadium below. It will GIVE her an IDEA of "Beatlemania" which is MILD compared to some other videos of Beatles visiting in Australia and at other concerts.
haha....simple song????
No No No.
Backstreet Boys new girlfriend time
Hahahahha. Nahhh she's learning!
There's ignorance, then there's calling the Beatles a "Boy Band" 🙄 Firstly, that name for a band didn't even exist when they broke up in 1970. Secondly, would you describe any of the black groups (Four Tops,The Temptations, Smoky Robinson & the Miracles etc) as Boy Bands? No. And they actually DIDN'T play any instruments or write many,if any,of their songs!
Comparing The Beatles to the Backstreet Boys- what a joke! Insult to the Beatles. I’m sure the Back Street Boys would be embarrassed to be compared to the Beatles.
In 3 short verses an existential song about 3 people's lives. sorry, wasted on your girlfriend.
I'm not sure your girlfriend is doing your channel any favors.
Ffs wtf
You need a new girlfriend.
She desperately needs a cultural education.
You two are not to bright
