African Reacts To The Beatles - Tomorrow never knows (FIRST TIME REACTION)

[@visarr]

She got into the trance. The first psychedelic song. It will always sound like it's from the future.

[@Phillyfan45]

I love watching young people react to this track. Minds are blown! Now you can begin to understand why The Beatles were the greatest band. Unmatched

[@findingpablo3413]

Your comprehension of the song was both delightful and astute. Love your analysis and comments. Thank you. Pablo

[@nasaafricareactslifestyle]

Awww 🥰 Thanks 🙏🥰

[@robbielux8353]

The Beatles were way ahead of their time especially with this song

[@ricknbacker5626]

Tomorrow Never Knows was recorded over 3 days in April of 1966. The first song recorded for the Beatles groundbreaking album "REVOLVER". released later in August 966. That makes it nearly 58 years old!! Great reaction NASA, RNB

The “birds”, are accelerated tape loops of laughter

[@RedVynil]

It was recorded in 1966. It's now 58 years old. It was the first song they recorded for this album.

[@timpafundi6321]

I quote from Wikipedia “When writing the song, Lennon drew inspiration from his experiences with the hallucinogenic drug LSD and from the 1964 book The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead by Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzner.”

[@marrkhicks]

Undoubtedly the greatest band of all time

[@brendansmalley-vy1xv]

The beatles at their most innovative. No other band souned like this in 1966.

[@axiomist4488]

[@gordonallen7638]

the late 1960s and the guitars were played backwards on the mix so that is wild sounds you hear

This Lennon/McCartney collaboration was originally titled 'The Void' (cf. stuff in the 'Tibetan Book of The Dead' & NDEs*), some thought the title was too bleak so Lennon opted for one of Starkey's in-band comic sayings "tomorrow never knows" (a backdoor rendition on: 'live in the moment'). Here is the 1st [experimental] recording of it (from April 1966): kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6XQpp6Bgb-Ei9k . The song was in no way unrelated to Lennon (and wife Cynthia) and Harrison (and wife Patty) unintentionally tripping on [pharmaceutical] LSD with Harrison's dentist Riley (the 'Dr. Robert' on the LP) in April 1965 (Dr. Riley was the host of a small coffee-party at his apartment, who dissolved LSD in the coffee of all 4 guests without their foreknowledge or consent, Lennon at first went into a screaming rage and Harrison, Patty and Cynthia were at first angry and shocked, however the experience really cathartically changed both Lennon's and Harrison's personalities and 'transformed' their 'egos', making 'aggressive' Lennon far more relaxed and less obnoxious and 'less of an acerbic clown' and more serious, and giving Harrison and Lennon a 'hugely deepened sense of universal awareness and interconnectedness'). Counter-intuitively, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was the first song from the April 1966 'Revolver' album sessions to be conceived, written and recorded. McCartney tried LSD briefly in January 1966. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was the last track of side 2 on the 'Revolver' album released on August 5th 1966. * NDEs = Near Death Experiences (and also experientially and parallel similar related to pre-Asclepieion and Asclepieion era Hellenist-religious cave 'darkness-water-immersion sensory-deprivation' therapy/enlightenment/ divination of antiquity that dates back in one form or another to proto-neolithic shamanistic cultures globally generally). Note: 'Tomorrow Never Knows' had the same mind-blowing way-ahead of it's time influence on UK concurrent and future pop musicians as did this groundbreaking experimental 'electronic music' theme tune to the UK children's sci-fi TV series Dr. Who in 1963: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWa5ZXaif7-Ae5Y

Can you believe it?

[@charmingman9423]

John asked their legendary producer George Martin to make him sound 'like he was singing from the top of the Himalayas'..... i think he succeeded.......

[@MarkusSellmann]

"She loves you" in 1963 and 4 years later "Tomorrow Never Knows". What a ride and what an exceptional musical evolution.

[@garfle1959]

Not 4 years. 3 years

[@Zimbrabim]

And "She Loves You" wasn't bad! ;-)

[@zmadscientist]

Great reaction! Just found your channel and you are covering some of the really great ones. I'll bet you would LOVE the Danish National Symphony Orchestra rendition of the classic western movie "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"/"Ecstacy of Gold". The video has over 140 Million views currently. The movie for which the music was written is widely considered to be one of the bestern westerns ever filmed - by director Sergio Leonne. The music is composed by Ennio Morricone who is an all time fabulous composer. The music motif's and the arrangement of instruments are amazing. The choir of 70+ vocalists, sing words I cannot really disarticulate and yet I am sure this medley of two songs will move you emotionally. The setting is the US civil war in 1860's during battles in the western territory of New Mexico. The instruments include such a variety - Drums, Ocharina, flute, electric guitar, electric base, piano, oboe/english horn, chimes, trumpets, violins, cello, choir, harmonica.... not a typical orchestra ensemble.
