The Beatles are essentially a master class in song writing.

[@CrystalShannon4]

AGREED!

[@ConwayBob]

YES! And they were so intuitive, knowing instinctively just what to do with the little bits of musical ideas that they heard inside their heads or from noodling on piano or guitar. They also absorbed a whole lot of what they'd heard both from other musicians and from the general environment. "Penny Lane" was recorded during the "Sgt. Pepper" sessions but was not included in this album. I love the way it tells the story of a Liverpool street and the characters who inhabit it. You hear some of that same kind of imagery in many of these songs that made it into the "Sgt. Pepper" album too. It was in their slightly earlier songs as well, including McCartney's "Eleanor Rigby" and Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Norwegian Wood." Every song tells a story, if not explicitly in the lyrics then aurally in the notes, chord progressions, their chosen instrumental timbres, textures, and audio effects. Pure genius!

[@ballhawk387]

And yet they didn't know how to read music, and in a sense didn't know what they were doing, but just did it.

George Martin cried when he first heard She' Leaving Home. It's a tragic folklore story in different modes going from Aeolian, Dorian and even Mixolydian.

[@steelers6titles]

@@CrystalShannon4 McCartney saw a story about a teenager running away, and who went missing for awhile (she came to no harm, fortunately). But, when you look at the lyrics, "She's Leaving Home" is actually about an older woman who has lived under her parents' thumb for years, but finally finds the courage to go out on her own with a guy of whom her mom and dad presumably disapprove. It ends positively--"she's having fun". The real sadness in the story is that her self-centered parents, as always, get the whole thing wrong, and think she is deliberately hurting them. Maybe they never will understand their daughter. Some parents never understand their children, ever.

The story benhind the song is even more interesting: “McCartney was inspired by a story on the front page of the Daily Mirror, about a girl named Melanie Coe.[4] Although McCartney invented most of the content in the song, Coe, who was 17 at the time, has said that most of it was accurate. In actuality, Coe left with her boyfriend, a croupier. She did not "meet a man from the motor trade", although her boyfriend previously had been in that trade.[5] She left in the afternoon while her parents were at work, while the girl in the song leaves early in the morning as her parents sleep. Coe was found ten days later because she had let slip where her boyfriend worked.[6] When she returned home, she was pregnant and had an abortion.[7] Coincidentally, Coe had actually met McCartney three years earlier, in 1963 when he chose her as the prize winner in a dancing contest on ITV's Ready Steady Go!.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/She%27s_Leaving_Home

There is so much someone could miss when listen to this album today. (1) The novelty of this entire genre of music for its time - absolutely cutting edge. (2) There were no digital tools to make sounds like this back then, as no one would think you'd ever need to make sounds like this for music. They literally had to take tape of their music, cut it up physically with scissors, turn it backwards and mix it up, etc. to make those garbled sounds and distortions. (3) The climate of the times and how this fits in with the Beatles' personal journeys is a part of interpreting the meaning of the songs.

I went into a deep dive of the Beatles when I was about 22, and still hold them above everyone else as songwriters. No one still sounds like the Beatles, they were so unique and gifted. My favorite off of this album is A Little Help From My Friends. Such a perfect pop song. I love how halfway through the call and response switches, so that the background "response" comes first, and Ringo answers.

[@MrDiddyDee]

In February 1967, Paul McCartney read about Melanie Coe, a 17-year-old A-level schoolgirl from Stamford Hill, north London. She went missing without her car, cheque book and spare clothes. Her father was quoted as saying, “I cannot imagine why she should run away. She has everything here.” Coe briefly rented a flat in Paddington with a croupier she had met in a night club, and returned home around 10 days after the newspaper report was published. “We’d seen a story in the newspaper about a young girl who’d left home and not been found,” McCartney recalled in the 1997 biography ‘Many Years From Now’. “There were a lot of those at the time, and that was enough to give us a story line. So I started to get the lyrics - she slips out and leaves a note and then the parents wake up - It was rather poignant.” Lennon’s contributions were more personal, borrowing scornful lines from his stern Aunt Mimi, who had raised him as a child. “Paul had the basic theme, but all those lines like, ‘We sacrificed most of our lives, we gave her everything money could buy, never a thought for ourselves …’ those were the things Mimi used to say,” he told Hit Parader in 1972. “It was easy to write.” It would be years before Coe learned that the Beatles were singing her story. “I first heard the song when it came out and I didn’t realize it was about me, but I remember thinking it could have been about me,” she tells Rolling Stone. “I found the song to be extremely sad. It obviously struck a chord somewhere. It wasn’t until later, when I was in my twenties, that my mother said, ‘You know, that song was about you!’ She had seen an interview with Paul on television, and he said he’d based the song on this newspaper article. She put two and two together.” In one of the more astonishing coincidences in Beatles history, Coe had actually met the band more than three years before “She’s Leaving Home” was written, during their first appearance on the English television program Ready, Steady, Go! on October 4th, 1963. Then just 14 years old, she had been booked to compete in an on-air lip-synching contest. To pass the time during the hours of rehearsals, Coe and her young competitors chatted with the newly minted pop sensations, who had scored their third British Number One with “She Loves You” just a few months earlier. Coe earned the top prize with her high-spirited miming to Brenda Lee’s “Jump the Broomstick,” and McCartney presented her with an autographed Beatles album.

Hi, Crystal. I LOVE that you’re “learning” The Beatles in order of album release. It’s the best way to do it. My son borrowed my Beatles albums - in order - over the last few years. I was so proud. Except for the fact that we processed The Beatles over 6 or 7 years, while you’re doing it in 6 or 7 weeks, you’re where we were, for years. And the freshness will never go away. It’s really only since the WWW, that I’ve been able to do deep dives about each album, each song. You are very fortunate that you have SO much to learn about the Beatles. I’m 67 and I learn new, interesting stuff about them, all the time. Nice job.

Now many know this but Ringo was actually left handed drummer playing a right handed drum kit. To put this in perspective try playing the guitar or piano with your right hand as your left and your left hand as your right to the level you would if you were playing normally. He could also sing at the same time while playing complex drum fills and did a lot of intricate jazzy fills which often go unnoticed. If anyone ever quips at Ringo being a brilliant drummer, just get them to watch live performances of the Beatles playing 'Long Tall Sally' live, which incidentally, they recorded for the album in 1 TAKE!

The last one is Yes "Close to the Edge" not as universally loved within popular music as the Beatles or Brian's work but while many may focus on the fancy playing I think it has a real and inspired heart.

As a musician you bring new insights on why we loved these songs but didn't have the musical fluency to articulate, many of us just knew these songs were exceptional. Appreciate that you support your reviews with specific interpretations rather than only with platitudes. Like the format of playing snippets of the song to support your analysis.

"Getting Better".... Paul: It's getting better. John: Can't get no worse. Sort of sums up their perspectives on life.

[@kennethlatham3133]

Paul talked about that Lennon line in an interview shortly after his death.

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

I think Harrison's viewpoint would be: It can always get worse. Starr: Who cares? Tomorrow never knows.

Paul : Try to see it MY way. John : Life is very short, and theres no time for fussing and fighting my friend.

"I'm hoping that 'She's Leaving Home' is a sad moment." Oh yeah. As a father of a now adult, I've listened to this many times with tears, thinking of those times when I was so worried I would lose my child and relieved that we got through the difficult years and are all happy now.

[@vinceboston7451]

Hi Crystal Fellow songwriter and musician/music lover here. I am a huge Beatles fan and I can't remember a time when I haven't heard these songs playing on the radio and home hi-fi system/CD player. I personally have heard these songs hundreds of times and it's amazing to me how fresh and evergreen the Beatles songs remain. Watching/listening to you hear them with fresh ears actually brought tears to my eyes. Lennon/McCartney (and later Harrison) were genius songwriters and with their producer George Martin were able to interpret and masterfully perform these timeless masterpieces. Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts on experiencing them for the first time. White Album (The Beatles) is worlds away from Pepper, but the Beatles being the Beatles refused to rest on their laurels and re-invented themselves once again. Magical Mystery Tour kind of bridges the gap between Pepper and White Album, showing the evolution and growth that the lads acquired in that very short amount of time between albums. As White Album is a double album, it's a bit much to digest in one sitting and for me was an acquired taste. It is a little "something for everyone" and I feel that the Beatles were never afraid of trying something new and taking risks. The Beatles wrote the bulk of the White Album while on a rare respite while in India studying Transcendental Meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. John and Paul were such prolific songwriters that it seems they spent most of their time writing songs when they weren't meditating. Supposedly they were drug and alcohol free during this time and I feel it reflects in the change in tone from Pepper and MMT. Blackbird is simple yet beautiful and reflects Paul's masterful songwriting and lets the song shine through with a stripped down arrangement of acoustic guitar/vocal. No drums were needed as the only percussion is the tapping of Paul's feet. I just randomly clicked on your video and it took me on a magical mystery tour of hearing SPLHCB as if for the first time. I look forward to listening to some of your other reviews. Thanks! Vince Boston World's #1 Beatle Fan ;) PS would you like to do a co-write for a new song I wrote called Beatleland? Would love to make it sound "Beatle-y"

[@James-eg3nf]

Been listening to Sgt. Pepper for like 30 years and I still can’t NOt cry when I hear She’s Leaving Home.

[@Elias_Veine_Wiig]

At 13:26, the chaotic circus music you described as a "romantic panic attack" - It's very interesting how they did that in the studio. Back then they recorded everything on tape, so they played some Calliope-like music on an organ, and they cut the tape, throw in around, and splice it together random order, and that makes the chaotic effect. "In a 1968 interview, producer George Martin recalled that he achieved this "by playing the Hammond organ myself and speeding it up". In addition to the Hammond organ, an attempt was made to find a 19th-century steam organ for hire in London, to enhance the carnival atmosphere effect, but to no avail. After a great deal of unsuccessful experimentation, Martin instructed recording engineer Geoff Emerick to chop the tape into pieces with scissors, throw them up in the air, and re-assemble them at random."

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

Love it!! I mean WHO these days would even think to do something like that?! I mean they wouldn’t have to because of all the mixers and synthesizers now, but George Martin was a genius! Definitely the fifth Beatles!

[@jwb932]

I've been listening to this album since I was three (back in the 1970s!), and it was my favorite album growing up. I also bought it in the 1990s for my first girlfriend. (Does this make me sound really old? I don't feel that old.) By the way, some tidbits: This album was recorded using only four tracks in the studio. Sometimes you'll hear an instrument cut out to make room for another. The tuning up from the beginning was taken from the orchestra tuning up for the last song, "A Day in the Life." Lucy in the Sky features a unique doubletracking technique: Lennon's voice is doubled with George's guitar, both fusing into almost one sound. (By the way, have you ever heard Rascal Flatt's "I'm Movin' On"? Same notes!) "She's Leaving Home" did indeed feature a harp, which was played by Sheila Bromberg, the first female musician to appear on a Beatles record. (Paul and John's voices in the choruses are supposed to represent the mother and father's voices respectively.) "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" was based on an old circus poster Lennon had bought and was the end of Side A of the record. McCartney wrote "When I'm Sixty Four" when he was 14. "A Day in the Life" features some really good use of stereo, with Lennon's voice traveling from right to left in the first verse and his “aaaaaah” in the middle going from right to left to right again for one of those perfect moments in music. This was a landmark album for the Beatles when it came to stereo because before this album, they primarily recorded with mono in mind, and stereo mixes were made (often poorly) as an afterthought. This album, though originally mixed in mono, had a stereo mix made that was profound and was created with a diligent effort that would continue throughout the remainder of their albums. One final thought: the closest album the Beatles did to this one, in my opinion, was Abbey Road. I would love to hear your thoughts on that one too. Congrats on the hit video! I suspect you'll get tens of thousands of views for this one eventually.

[@shooterspuckhockey1296]

Being a huge Beatles fan myself, it gives me chills and brings a smile to my face seeing someone discover one of their albums or songs for the first time! The fact that you are a really talented musician yourself and break down each song and talk about music theory, melodies, etc, brings a whole new element and testament, as to why The Beatles were ahead of their time and the best band in history.

[@tedwardfox]

Watching your reaction to She's Leaving Home was priceless. Your face tells everything and you made me tear up at the same time you did. And, I am old enough to have listened to this right when the album first came out. I've just subscribed because I want/need to see how you react to other great albums. Thanks!

[@penfold7455]

"Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite" is a crazy song, isn't it? Fun Fact: All of the lyrics for that song came from an old circus poster John Lennon found somewhere and bought (there was a picture from 1967 of John Lennon pointing to that poster; a Google image search may bring it up) That "circus fairground organ" bit in the middle was basically John Lennon playing 'oom-pah' chords on one organ and the Beatles' producer George Martin just playing chromatic runs up and down on another organ. For the bit at the end, not only was it the two of them on organs again, but they added a track of tape loops that were thrown around, scratched (and even dipped into a bottle of Coke) before being stitched together, which is why it sounds so weird.

[@CrystalShannon4]

A totally crazy song! A few days later and turned out to be one of my absolute favs!

[@kevinegan4654]

That end bit was a recording of Caliope music, cut up and spliced together, than used in the final mix reversed.

[@Vince_Steele]

That's the first I've heard about the tape loops being dipped in coke. From my understanding they cut up the tapes, threw the cuts up in the air, then taped them back together as they found them, so some were playing forwards and some were playing backwards and the order was completely random. John Lennon said to George Martin, "I want to smell the sawdust", referring to the sawdust that would be put down to soak up the circus animals' messes. Together they did a pretty good job of it.

[@penfold7455]

If you wanna hear something that greatly inspired the Beatles in making this album and "Revolver", I recommend listening to The Beach Boys' 1966 album "Pet Sounds" if you haven't already. It is a masterpiece in so many ways.

Actually I had just seen last night in an interview video with one of the engineers for Peppers that someone who worked on Pet Sounds was there right when they finished "A Day in the Life" for the first studio listen and he had put his head into his hands and wept saying something like "I am done in the business. Nothing could ever touch this". They were that blown away.

[@dj71162]

@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 Its interesting that McCartney and Wilson were born 2 days apart and lead the their bands through their most creative periods within the same years ('65-'67). They're my 2 favourite bands, but I must say I get much more of an intimate connection with the Beach Boys.I think its because they were so close vocally as they were a family and grew up around the piano, they produced their own music, they were able to create a sound that was like something heavenly or from another world. The Beatles on the other hand were 4 different people pulling in 4 different directions and didnt produce their own music, so I dont get the same connection with them. I never feel like its a group experience. Its more like im listening to a Lennon song, a McCartney song, a Harrison song or a Starr song, depending on who has lead vocal. With the Beach Boys, I dont mind whos on lead vocal, it still sounds like a group sound.

Good job and good show! In ''She's Leaving Home'' a musicologist pointed out the last note is an 'Amen' or 'plagal cadence' in the technical language. That's Ringo singing 'A Little Help From My Friends'. He and George typically got one song per album, while John and Paul handled the rest.

So much of the great music many of us ( both younger but mostly my age and older ) grew up with. What I consider the good stuff from let's say. The mid 60's to the late 80's. Before the American music and recording industry started pumping the sewage out that they have been the last 3 plus decades. And I know you have to do things a certain way as per you tube rules and copywrght reasons. And this isn't a knock just on you but others. But I so want to hear what your true thoughts are. But everything is so chopped up and it's difficult to enjoy and actually get a real read on what kind of impact ( if any ) these songs and albums are having on you. I last about 30 seconds into your reactions and it's been chopped up close to a dozen times already. Again I know there are rules, but it just makes it difficult to watch and enjoy. I've seen many other reactors pause maybe 1/5 the amount of time on all different artists and rarely if at all have a problem. Maybe it's more prevalent with the Beatles music more then others. But again maybe something you could look into. Would make watching your reactions more enjoyable. It's not constructive criticism, it's not a criticism at all. Just a suggestion, be well !

Would be great hearing your thoughts. Revolver, Sgt Pepper, and Magical Mystery Tour is the Beatles psychedelic trilogy in a way.
