As a bass player I have to admit that Paul McCartney's style is very unique, he uses walking baselines that drives the song forward, or even moves it in different directions. He's not flashy in the same sense as John Entwisle, Jack Bruce, or John Paul Jones, but I think he belongs on the list of the greatest rock bassists of the sixties and seventies.

[@arthurdturner870]

Paul said in one of his interviews that he heard Motown bassist James Jamerson walk the bass up and down the scale and that was a clear influence to Paul! :D

[@Uetti]

Are you THAT Tom?

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

TOM! You’re alive! I was getting worried! BTW, Paul will go down history as one of the greatest bass players of all time. So many of his bass lines are melodic - like their own songs

[@markcrombie8875]

@Jacob Hanson Agree. With Rain he was using his new Rickenbacker bass I believe? And his bass playing went to a different level during Revolver. Especially Taxman and I'm only sleeping. As a consummate musician it would be easy for him to overplay but he always plays with integrity; what is just right for the song.

[@jamespenny9482]

I used to think Entwistle was the best, and he was great, but Paul is absolutely amazing on the bass. And John used to be my favorite Beatle, but I have to give it to Paul. To me, he's the best bassist ever, combine that with him being, with John, the greatest multi-genre song writers ever, and an amazing vocalist on top of all that, well it's just too much.

I like it when actual musicians analyze Beatles songs. You add tons of useful insights compared to a normal listener. Other reactors say they "like it" repeatedly but you break it down musically as to why the magic works.. There is another reactor named Call me Caroline on KZbin that is just like you reacting to Beatles. You're both wonderful. I have soft-spot for musicians. Great job.

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

John wrote "I am the Walrus" as a troll because he found out in some literature class they were analyzing Beatles lyrics. But in the scheme of life it doesn't matter if the lyrics had intent or of they just used words that fit regardless of meaning. The fact that all these years later we are analyzing and enjoying their music and looking for what made them so special and why was still a gift they left us.

[@betsyab121]

You'll wear yourself out trying to analyze John Lennon's lyrics. A lot of them are inspired by books he read or newspaper stories he came across, and some are about his life and the struggles he has gone through. I always think of Lennon as the poet and McCartney as the melody maker. Separately, both wrote good tunes, but together they were magic.

[@robertrouse4503]

Lennon wrote the "I Am the Walrus" intending to confound listeners who did serious analysis of Beatles lyrics. Lennon was inspired by the poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter” by one of his chief influences, Lewis Carroll. Lennon said, “The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend.” The lyrics came from three song ideas Lennon had been working on. One was his rhythmic setting of the words “Mis-ter cit-y police-man.” The second idea was a short rhyme Lennon had about sitting in his garden. That became the bridge of the song: “Sitting in an English garden/waiting for the sun.” The third idea was about sitting on a cornflake: “Sitting on a cornflake/Waiting for the van to come.” Lennon also talked to old friend, Pete Shotten, about some nursery rhymes they sang as kids. They came up with the line, “Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye.” Eric Burdon, lead singer of the Animals, is supposedly the Eggman. Burdon had told Lennon a story about having sex with a woman who wanted eggs broken on her naked body. Recording engineer Geoff Emerick had Lennon sing into a talkback microphone, which is very low fi. This helped create a distorted vocal sound. Harmonically, Lennon used every alphabetical note -from A to G-and each chord is a major or major seventh. George Martin came up with an innovative arrangement. He used 8 violins, 4 cellos, 3 French horns and a contrabass clarinet. He also hired the Mike Sammes singers. They made whooping sounds, laughs, snorts and shouted phrases like, “Oompah, Oompah, Stick it up your Jumper.” Lennon also mixed in excerpts from a BBC production of Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” Lennon reportedly got the line “Goo Goo Ga Joob” from James Joyce’s “Finnegan’s Wake.”

Penny Lane does this magic thing where it explores both B major and B minor in the verses. And utilizes almost all the potential options for a bassline walking down. The final E of the verses throws us onto a key change to A major for the choruses... until the end, when a modulation up lets us finally get that chorus in B. Brilliance.

It was a real bonus to us Beatle fans that all the songs on side 2 were not on albums, but were meant to be for radio play, (and for purchase as 45 rpm 'singles'). These kept us happy and kept the Fab Four in the studio in between their albums to 'get a single out there'. I don't know of any other band that released 'on-purpose hit songs' which were, by contract, kept off their albums. I believe after their 3rd album was when they changed their contract. If you are interested in the Beatles singles, the remastered '1' album is a knockout!

[@elliegonzales8212]

Strawberry Fields was the name of a Salvation Army orphanage in Liverpool that Lennon as a child would climb the fence to play with the children when they were outside. The " No one I think is in my tree" refers to each child climbing and claiming their own tree while they're playing. Lennon said in an interview that it was also a metaphor for him being different from the other children as he always knew he was different and either he was " a genius or a madman." This part is represented with the " It must be high or low" line. Those are his words. I'm going with musical and lyrical genius.

But it always makes me happy to see young people such as yourself discover the Beatles and watch a whole generation get to experience what we did and appreciate how great a band they were. The mark of a great band and their songs is how they transcend over time. And the Beatles certainly accomplished that. I have really enjoyed going on this journey through their albums with you and having someone with your musical expertise and background give your insight to them. Although I have heard them a million times, listening to them with you and giving your interpretation and insights and what they were doing musically is like I’m hearing them for the first time.

Not sure how much of the Beatles you've heard so far as I don't see their earlier works on your video page. But if you'll keep doing them, and delve into their pre-Sgt. Peppers albums and singles, you'll be ready to take in their first and very well done musical movie "A Hard Day's Night" (1964). However, it would be much better for you knowing their songs from that time before watching it, as we fans did going in to see it at the theaters in 1964 and '65. Mainly because they play samples of songs mixed with entire songs, among the adventure. In fact, you could start doing songs off the album "A Hard Day's Night" (released after the movie) including its hit title song and others there. Then a few earlier albums and singles so you'll be ready for their first movie. There's another movie Crystal that relates to Sgt. Peppers and Magical Mystery you've done here called "Yellow Submarine" that's a wonderful animation and story, but it's best to know the songs before watching it. So if you listen to most of everything they did up to Magical Mystery Tour, you'll be ready for Yellow Submarine movie too. There's another movie they did between these two called "Help!" that by the time you reach their "Revolver" album you'll be more than ready for it. Since you love their songs you'll enjoy their movies, especially A Hard Day's Night as it came out when they had recently become world famous, it gives a taste of what it was like for them back then, it's got a lot of amusing situations with them, the filming itself and of course the music! I consider A Hard Day's Night movie the worlds first music-video. @ 12:22 You'll find several "Lucy In The Sky"-like easter eggs on a couple of other songs. In fact, before you listen to The White Album song "Glass Onion" you should listen to an earlier song Paul sings called "Lady Madonna". Glass Onion makes references to four Beatles songs including this one, but the other three you have heard already from Magical Mystery Tour. Another White Album song that does this is George's "Savoy Truffle" but it's throwback song is earlier on the same album called "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La -Da". @ 25:07 Have you see the video of them making this song in the studio? It was historic as they televised the live performance of All You Need Is Love to the entire world using the recently installed satellite systems to do this. It was a fist, one of several firsts from the Beatles. If you're interested in seeing the video let me know as you will NOT find it on KZbin, and I'll explain! Enjoy! ✌️😎

[@nosrednawg]

These Beatles videos are a trip. For starters, it's hard to grasp someone never hearing these albums. Saying that, I believe her and she has heard the mega hits. The Beatles broke up the year I was born. They grabbed me when John Lennon died and I was totally hooked by the time I got to high school. (Point is I heard the songs for the first time long after they were out so I've been in her shoes) It's really cool seeing someone react to these songs for the first time and adding interesting commentary. I enjoyed the takes on Strawberry Fields Forever and I am the Walrus. I guess I'm just in awe of the power The Beatles have over people of all ages.

[@MrDiddyDee]

The swirling effect on 'Blue Jay Way' is created by running George's vocals through a 'Leslie' speaker. A combined amplifier and speaker unit with a baffled drum literally spun mechanically inside the cabinet for the bass speaker and two spinning horn speakers for the high frequencies, which creates an oscillating Doppler effect. It was usually used as an effect on Hammond organs. The speed has adjustable to create varying effects. The Beatles used it on numerous songs during their psychedelic period, on vocals, drums and Harrison's guitar. From the 'Revolver' album onwards, it was their producer George Martin, who became more and more crucial to their recordings being innovative and creative, and Lennon in particular would push him to come up with new sounds and studio techniques that had never been heard before. As well as an early background in working with sound effects for comedy records, George Martin was also a great arranger of classical instruments too, both elements were put to good use by the band. Crystal, I love your fresh insights and enthusiasm for songs I have grown up with and have maybe taken for granted with their familiarity. It's a delight to share your experience of them. BTW 'Happy together' was released a couple of months after 'Your mother should know', so whether The Turtles had heard The Beatles track I don't know, but it's unlikely any pop band of the time wasn't influenced by them in some way.

As a trumpet player for many years, I've always liked Penny Lane for the piccolo trumpet parts. There's a great video on KZbin with David Mason who played them. The story goes that Paul was looking for something to put into the song as an instrumental break. He happened to see Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #2 on TV, which features piccolo trumpet. Producer George Martin called David into the studio and they worked it all out. George Martin is responsible for many of the instrumental experiments that the Beatles did. He even played piano and harpsichord on some of the songs. As others have said, KZbin suggested your channel because I also watch Call Me Caroline. It's fun to watch both of you dissect, and appreciate, what makes the Beatles great.

[@johnmerritt8448]

I love your well thought out insights into the songs. You're quite right about the distinction between Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane. They're both actual places, but Lennon is revealing himself ("no one I think is in my tree" is his self observation that no one quite is on his intellectual level) while Paul's song is a photograph of the roundabout and shops on the circumference. Different approaches to childhood memories.

[@barryw2659]

I have listened to Beatles music for decades and have read and heard hundreds of analysis. Yours is the best one I have heard which relate the music to emotions and what it does for you personally. You may be interested to know that many of your emotional reactions were mirrored by the Beatles themselves when describing what they were trying to accomplish. For example, in 'For the Benefit of Mr. Kite' Lennon wanted a 'kaleidoscope' of sound encircling the listener, and you described your feelings almost exactly the same. One thing that you may or may not be fully aware of, because you weren't around at the time, was just how revolutionary their songwriting was. For example, you casually mentioned how you have reversed tape because you like the sound of it. When the Beatles first did it it, however, it blew people's minds because it had never been done before in a large, popular setting. It was done by extreme avant-garde artists at the time, whom the Beatles followed and admired, e.g. Arnold Schoenberg and John Cage. The Beatles agreed with these artists that 'rules should be broken' and it is evidenced by the reverse tapes, the chorus-verse intros, and even the high note which the piccolo trumpet plays on 'Penny Lane'. During the recording of it, McCartney asked the player, David Mason, to play a high 'E'. A high 'E' had never been knowingly played before, at least in public performance. Mason replied "I'm sorry, but that's impossible." McCartney replied "Let's break a rule and try it." To make a long story short, Mason nailed it and it is now a note that is played in public performance. In short, it has become a rule :)

@@joefilter2923 For some reason George Martin - who had never produced a rock band before - had the drums and bass mixed deep in the background on those earlier albums. They sound way better on recent remastered versions.

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

@@paulobrien4694 The engineers would beg to differ as I saw one say in an interview. Essentially the Beatles requested totally different sounds and techniques which were put on the engineers to figure out. So they mic'd the drums in all kinds of unconventional ways and use what effects they could muster up in the 60's. Now according to them they feel the remasters took that texture or tone away and are very critical of them... and that they also prefer the mono mixes as they didn't even have stereo back then and had to deal limited to 4 tracks or linking 2- 4 tracks manually. So I would imagine they are biased to the recordings where they had to do all kinds of extra work and experimentation to not only make the band happy but millions of listeners. That said, music like any art form is subjective. I personally never heard any recording where I ad a problem with the drum sound. Now as a bass player I can appreciate it being up in the mix but need to consider at the time these albums were produced the records as well as the speakers could never deal with the bass levels of our modern stuff. But those original recording always sounded just fine to me even as a pro musician.

[@elizadennison7433]

Your tremendous insights show that you really “get” the Beatles the way they intended. Like your comments about the strings in “I Am The Walrus” - they always wanted to use different instruments but in new ways, so George Martin always helped arrange and conduct them however the band wanted.

[@ekrueger26]

I love your Beatles reactions! So, Strawberry Fields is actually two different takes spliced together, the latter is slowed done to match the key of the first part, a consequence of this is slightly deeper voices singing in the second part of the song. This happens around :59 where John sings "Let me take you down because I'm (this is the end of the first part) going to...." It is pretty crazy how they pulled this off.

[@renemetissage2612]

NOTE TO SHANNON: Blue Jay Way--major 7ths, diminished chords, and minor 9ths (which, as you know, can also be the major 7th / major 9th): Harrison, typically, mixes Jazz harmonies with the those of his growing Indian classical repertoire (thanks to his mentor Ravi Shankar): and the shifting dark and light --that "form=content"--undergirds the singer-narrator's grappling with conforming to and breaking bad, so to speak, against a deeply oppressive, hypocritical Western society: the closing incantation, "don't be long" puns "Don't Belong." I Am The Walrus -- contrary to the self-comforting spliff that John was only "playing with us"--is a snarling, scathing takedown of corporate life and corporate-dominated society. "I Am the Walrus" plays upon Lewis Carroll's absurd but ominous "Walrus and the Carpenter," with Lennon alluding to the said poem's walrus "crying" over the oysters' demise, the very oysters said walrus ate, one by one. Need one say more? Carroll's "PIGS with wings" (Lennon's "see how they fly") and Carroll's "crying" hypocritical Walrus (Lennon's "I'm crying") , the allusions are all there for anybody who actually READS. For some all-too-well-known reason, so may would-be Beatles "fans" attempt to wish away the Beatles literary awareness ("elitism!!") and decidedly Left-wing sensibilities: they were the so very "woke" to certain enduring realities that still offend and unsettle those much more comfortable with what the likes of Strawberry Fields or I Am the Walrus investigates with quite the discerning eye.

Ah, the White Album... I will never forget when it was released. It was polarizing. Many "casual fans" griped about it. Probably because (without anyone knowing it at the time) most of the songs were done by the members independently. Some tracks didn't even have one or two of the four playing on it. As a result, it didn't have the coherence of previous albums...but individually, some of their very best songs & a few which were considered 'weird' at the time, yet became more appreciated as time went by. I look forward to your reaction. (It may be my favorite of all their albums as a result of the amazing variety).

[@johnyarusso4953]

Not exactly true. Almost half the tracks were done independently/ or with two or three members, and the 17 tracks all 4 Beatles played on had a closer resemblance to the younger Beatles who always played together.

I believe that the line "nothing is real", is the cornerstone of all Beatledom. From "I wanna hold your hand", through sgt peppers and beyond, your assessment of "reality" through their eyes holds up.

With "Blue Jay Way" it seems to me that Harrison is playing with the words "Please don't be long," (along with "Please don't you be very long")as he suggests to not take a long time at arriving or doing something, but then it sounds like "Please don't BELONG," as though we shouldn't be part of something happening. I love it when he does this sort of thing with the lyrics of his songs.

[@reghunt2487]

06:47 George studied sitar and Indian music around that time, and it influenced some of his composing, so this song has some interesting use of modes, and his rhythmic sense may be more fluid. Another fun thing is some of the vocals are being run thru what is known as a "Leslie speaker". It's a speaker cabinet mainly built for organs, which has rotating elements in it to make the sound swish or warble. The Beatles sometimes ran guitars and vocals thru it.

Hi Crystal.

Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Hello Goodbye, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, A Day In The Life, She's Leaving Home, Magical Myster Tour, Fool On The Hill, All You Need Is Love, I Am The Walrus... 1967 was an amazing year for the band.

Strawberry Field is a Salvation Army property and visitor attraction in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton. It operated as a children's home between 1936 and 2005. The name of the home became famous in 1967 with the release of the Beatles' single "Strawberry Fields Forever", written by John Lennon, who had grown up at nearby 251 Menlove Avenue. Beaconsfield Road, where Strawberry Field is located, is a side street from Menlove Avenue. One of Lennon's childhood treats was the garden party that took place each summer, on the grounds of Strawberry Field. Lennon's Aunt Mimi recalled, "As soon as we could hear the Salvation Army Band starting, John would jump up and down shouting, 'Mimi, come on. We're going to be late.'" Strawberry Fields is a 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) landscaped section in New York City's Central Park, designed by the landscape architect Bruce Kelly, that is dedicated to the memory of former Beatles member John Lennon. It is named after the Beatles' song "Strawberry Fields Forever", written by Lennon.

Crystal, lovely reactions from a musician. Here's a bit you might like: Your Mother Should Know is filled with not just dominant 7ths, but secondary dominants strung together along the Circle of Fifths, (try it!) in the Music-Hall style. Music-Hall was popular in England from about 1850-1918, and Paul was born in 1942. Music hall "was a hit before his mother was born" . But his mother should know it. John hated it when Paul wrote this way, and called it "Paul's granny music" which is pretty accurate if cruel.

John Lennon described *Strawberry Fields Forever* as "psychoanalysis set to music" and "one of the few true songs I ever wrote. They were the ones I really wrote from experience and not projecting myself into a situation and writing a nice story about it." On the subject of the lyrics in that "No one I think is in my tree / I mean it must be high or low" bit of the song, Lennon said: "Well, what I was trying to say in that line is ‘Nobody seems to be as hip as me, therefore I must be crazy or a genius.’ It’s the same problem as I had when I was five: ‘There is something wrong with me because I seem to see things other people don’t see. Am I crazy, or am I a genius?’ … What I’m saying, in my insecure way, is ‘Nobody seems to understand where I’m coming from. I seem to see things in a different way from most people.’"

Strawberry Fields was a garden next to Lennon's aunt Mimi's, where he lived. He would often climb the fence and enjoy the solitude, or hang with friends. Penny Lane, is an actual street Paul would pass on his way to Lennon's house. A walk through the corner, will show you a barber shop (down the road slightly) a firehall nearby, and a bank on the corner. I am the WALRUS was John's answer to finding out school children in England were trying to find the meaning of the Beatles songs.

With reference to I AM THE WALRUS Lennon had heard that his old school teachers were analysing the Beatles songs in school classes. The story is that his old English teacher had made him stand up in class and made him cry for getting 'I am' - He is' - They are' - 'We are' - wrong . Leading to "I'm crying" . But in the words - 'I am he as you are he as you are me and we all together' , which butchers the English language, is straight out of Aleister Crowley's Book of the Law (he's second from the left at the top on the Sergeant Pepper Cover next to the Swami Sri Yukeswar) . Lennon then goes into nonsense to confuse his former teachers trying to make sense of the words. This is what Lewis Carroll did. Hence, - the Walrus, then he references another person on the Sergeant Pepper Album cover - Lewis Carroll's Walrus and the Carpenter story which is really about doing something and having no conscience about it or doing something because you need to survive and having a conscience. The Walrus eats the Oysters because that's his nature but has a guilt about it , the Carpenter eats the Oysters because he likes eating Oysters but it is not his nature and has no guilt. Another reference to Lewis Carroll came from 'I'm Looking through you' kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmZmmyAdsl9qLM. McCartney's girlfriend Jane Asher had split with him over his affair with Peggy Lipton, which he clearly regretted.
