[@pandawar5882]

The hard Day's night movie is such a fun movie just to sit back and don't think too hard and to enjoy the humor of The Beatles in the early 60s

[@rollingstoneworks3183]

Absolutely watch the movie… at least it’s clean…

[@althealligator1467]

Oh hell yeah watch the movie. Also I think other people have said this but you really should check out the singles that came out at same time afterward, if not in parallel. They tended not to include their biggest singles on the albums for some reason, but yeah the compilation album Past Masters has all of the non-album singles on it.

[@Kalimarki]

Bro that movie is mfn heat. PLEASE watch it

[@royrogers-vf6lq]

DO REVOLVER OR MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR PLEASE. I guarantee they will be the two best Beatles albums you’ve ever listened to.

[@jonunderscore]

And I Love Her: "If this ain't Paul I'll do a 50 dollar giveaway" 🤣😂😂

[@Beatles4Sale.]

John and Paul wrote every song on this album. This album IS Beatlemania.

[@Stereoheadx]

He give the credits to the lead singer haha we all know this is Not a John Lennon album (neither any other,, neither ‘of Paul’s)…he is so so wrong about the way The Beatles work 😂😂

[@deltalitprof]

@@Stereoheadx Actually about 95 percent of the time the lead singer is the lead writer of the song. If John is singing, it's a song he wrote. The same is true with Paul. George does sing a couple John songs early in their career, but from then on sings only his own.

[@DeKevers]

John sings in soooo many trakcs

[@GoobyShears]

@@Stereoheadx no yeah for most tracks the lead singer is the main writer.

Yes! Please react to the film. It is a freaking classic!

[@trevorsaylor128]

I watched it last summer and I laughed quite a bit.

[@bobrush4217]

"You can't do that" is John Lennon even on the guitar solo.

[@RicoCosta317]

First album where they did all their own songs. Banger classic supreme.

[@scottborenstein8291]

The Beatles are magic. No other band sounds like them, they are in a class by themselves.

[@danielerickson5175]

John Lennon wrote YOU CAN’T DO THAT in the style of Wilson Pickett. He wrote it played lead guitar on it, and was the lead singer on it.

[@reddoxx4754]

It's hard to imagine how hard they had to work in that period. They were writing and recording songs, doing interviews, making a movie, and had a heavy international live performance schedule.

[@spartyman7]

If I Fell is one of my favorite Beatles songs. If you watch the film, it's a classic scene...

[@brianfisher6165]

There could be no Beatles without John, George, Paul or Ringo!!!! the collaboration is insane!!!✌😁

[@user-uh2ue4bm6w]

If I Fell is an absolutely beautiful song. Stunning harmonies.

[@RicoCosta317]

John was dark, Paul was light. Yin and Yang

[@ewest14]

Paul also had some of the darkest songs. For No One and Eleanor Rigby are examples

[@First-Name--Last-Name]

Especially on We Can Work It Out and A Day in the Life

[@kingeddiam2543]

And I love her is pretty dark imo

[@dggydddy59]

​@First-Name--Last-Name We Can Work It Out is actually an excellent example of the John - Paul, Yin - Yang relationship in their personalities and writing. Paul is upbeat, we can work it out, John is a bit more down, life is very short. Yes, this is an oversimplification, but these sorts of descriptions typically are.

[@ewest14]

@@dggydddy59 I never understood that one as John isn’t even being down or dark. He is being very positive and saying we need to work it out as life is short and fighting isn’t worth it

[@Ideas4Google]

How amazing that Lennon/McCartney wrote every one of these sings within the space of a week and in only their spare moments between a grueling touring, travel and filming schedule

[@stevenboettcher4796]

I just want to say that you are the most fun music reactor by a long shot. I really appreciate it. That's John on You Can't Do That. Only one George song on album.

[@anarcovision]

That's right, no Ringo in this one. That's John on You Can't Do That too! In fact it's John in 9 out of the 13 tracks. And it's very beautiful how I'll Cry Instead got you. That's John starting to pour his heart out in his lyrics, man

[@reddoxx4754]

Although it's both Lennon and McCartney on "Hard Day's Night", "If I Fell", and "Any Time at All".

[@gettinhungrig8806]

​@@reddoxx4754John wrote all 3. Paul only has a brief line in the chorus on 'Any Time At All'!

[@reddoxx4754]

[@reddoxx4754]

@@gettinhungrig8806 and if I recall correctly, McCartney's contribution to "Any Time At All" wasn't any of the lyrics. It was the chords of the middle eight.

[@itsmadfar]

The Beatles are melodically brilliant. Practically every song they composed was a stand-alone. My musical heroes.....

[@spartyman7]

How about George's Spanish guitar on "And I Love Her"? He came up with that solo out of the blue in the recording session...

[@TheVoodooVegetable]

What's crazy is that the album Sgt. Pepper's was released less than 3 years after this. Absolute insanity.

[@davehire1433]

Love how you describe their harmonies as their cheat code.

[@barneymiller5488]

You Can't Do That is actually John, but George LOVED this song. The chord progression is really unique on this one.

[@randybass8842]

I'm enjoying your reactions to the Beatles albums. These first three came out when I was 9 and 10 years old, and they still fit within that context of being a young boy. I couldn't give them the unique analysis of each song as you are doing. You're putting new life into these songs for me. 😊

[@irishguyalt5495]

After listening to all the albums you should listen to all the singles

[@spartyman7]

As a general rule, John is on rythm, George on the lead parts with guitar...not always, but mostly.

[@cavewomanbrain]

if i fell has to be one of the most underrated tracks in the beatles' entire catalog. it captures the insecurity of putting yourself out there and letting someone new into your life so delicately and so perfectly. big contrast from their other early love songs which are so self-assured and unambiguous. i think it would be so cool if you reacted to footage of one of the beatles' live sets! there's a video on here of their show in washington dc from their '64 us tour. it's an incredible historical document and just an insanely fun watch. keep up the great work!

[@kevenbarrett8316]

Thank you for presenting your authentic self and be willing to be vulnerable. I really enjoy watching you experience the music

[@norryonbass6574]

This album is pure Beatlemania. This marks when they were truly world famous.

[@JoyceBurns-cx2nr]

As young as you are i welcome your inspiration of you hearing this ablum. I hear things and think you put words to my loving the Beatles 😊

[@joescott8877]

I really appreciate how he is honest about everything, if he doesn't like the song so much, if he can do without a tambourine, lol, if he blisses out to the gravel in some vocal, if he just simply makes a stank face and a growl for a killer transition, if he tells us HE woulda written some of John's lyrics and that's why he loves John so much, etc.

[@meestuinier4486]

I think it's important to keep in mind that most of these songs were cowritten by John and Paul. One would come up with a concept and they would finish it together. Love your reactions!

[@TpolTime]

John’s masterpiece

[@themadcow71]

Best album of their first four by a mile. Keep rocking legend!

[@bradrapp3697]

Really good insight for someone in this day hearing Beatles 1st time! So many sounds today are high energy, people miss how intense that opening chord and verse were on the title track when it came on the radio. It was game changing, opening doors for other ‘60s bands to not hold back. I was 6 when they hit the US and they brought me joy and excitement missing in my life, and are why I became a musician and guitar teacher for my living. By the way, if you knew how lame most top 40 was before they hit…’nuff said.

[@brianfisher6165]

"Hard day's Night" is a quote John used from Ringo!!!👍✌😃

[@spartyman7]

[@charliecochran3035]

Paul gives all the credit for And I Love Her to George for the guitar line. He basically said that was the song.

[@zacpalmer638]

So, my great uncle passed away ten years ago. And his mother was still alive and she was at the funeral. My Grandad had arranged the track whilst the coffin was going for the isle at the Church. It was And, I lover her which was aimed towards my great uncles mother who was at the funeral. My great uncle was an absolutely huge Beatles fan. The most powerful moment I've ever experienced in my 32 years of life. No idea why, I just wanted to share this.

[@bobtausworthe2671]

Its important to remember this is a soundtrack for a movie so the songs were selected to fit certain moods in the movie.

[@TonyLovell]

I enjoy how Darius becomes astute at identifying the Beatles by their singing voices. He is a fast study.

[@davidschecter5247]

Love watching your joy at listening to this incredible album. What unbelievable songwriters John and Paul (and later, George) were.

John/George voices are the hardest to distinguish at first. You'll get it!

I love the fact that you truly enjoy it and understand the talent that goes into it! You’re awesome. Enjoy the Beatles journey like I did back in 2000 as a 15 yr old teen mesmerized by their sound. It’s amazing how they were able to get George’s lead singing more elevated by harmonizing during singing. Because it was obvious the Lennon and McCartney were the better singers

@@philmstud2k The white album has 13 tracks that were written solely or predominantly by John Lennon, 12 tracks that were written solely or predominantly by Paul McCartney, 4 tracks that were written solely by George Harrison, and 1 track that was written solely by Ringo Starr. So, yes, John has lots of songs on it, but, it’s more evenly spread out, especially between himself and Paul.

[@marascusbomm]

Really this is John's first solo album, writing 10 of the 13 tracks (He gave 'Happy Just To Dance' to George to sing). When you listen to Beatles albums be aware that they rarely included any of their singles on them. So 'With The Beatles' could have quite easily included 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', 'This Boy', 'She Loves You', 'I'll Get You' and feasibly even 'From Me To You', which would have made it a powerhouse of an album. Those fairly new to The Beatles need to include 'Past Masters Vols 1 & 2' in their listening experience to pick up all the non-album singles they released over their recording career. Great reaction, dude.

[@selfishturtle767]

Hijacking this comment to suggest listening to the Past Masters tracks in batches according to their release date, similar to how this creator did her Beatles reactions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHS3XoOnhbmBpNE Listening to those songs in context can give you a better understanding of how the band developed musically over the years. 👍

[@Gabe7Gal]

John and Paul were still writing together a lot in this period so John definitely can't take all the writing credit.

Hey man! I have to say that your critiques are fascinating. Your vulnerability comes through and it is what is more important when you discover new art. You're opening yourself to an artist reaching you, and it's beautiful to listen to. I feel like I met a great human being in the last month. An artist of the musical appreciation. And probably a great artist at other things. Thanks for that. Hope everything's gonna be okay for you!

[@joescott8877]

Yeah, man, i've really come to dig his straight-up no BS perspectives. I just wish the snippets of him actually reacting to the music were a bit longer, and yes i'm too a hypocrite cos i feel too time-constrained to go over to his or anyone's patreon, lol!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

I hope you do some of George’s solo work also. His album “All Things Must Pass” is beautiful.

[@ChaseArkansas]

i love watching your videos because it reminds me of songs like i should have known better and how much i love these older beatles too

[@Cj-gs3sc]

My favorite album of all time and I agree with ur point

[@reinacarbetta388]

‘Things We Said Today’ is in my top 10 favorite Beatles’ songs. Some of Paul’s lesser known songs are the gems for me, and they sneakily get darker as the relationship with his girlfriend at the time changed (more to come.) Also, Paul and John may have lead certain songs but they wrote most songs together and sang a lot of them together. For instance, on the title song, that’s Paul and John singing together. And honestly, all 3 harmonize in most songs. However, Paul was the driving force, the arranger, and the work horse of the group. He’s a genius. And he has one of the best male voices ever - with a 5 octave range. You should really watch the movie, ‘A Hard Day’s Night!’ So good!

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I saw Paul McCartney in concert in 2019, and he opened with A Hard Day’s Night. It was awesome.

[@fab4lvr282]

Hope you get the chance to see Paul and also Ringo (and his All Stars) in concert. The music, their heart and the crowd vibe is so wonderful. We're lucky they are still here and performing.

[@jennifergriswold3899]

I'd like to recommend a song that although its a cover, has stunning Lennon vocals. It was only released on the Anthology set called Leave my Kitten Alone

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

It's an amazing album! This is their first soundtrack based on their first musical movie under the same name directed by Richard Lester, it was filmed in 16 weeks and this was taken after they spent 3 weeks visiting US. Beatles for Sale is next, please!

[@MrDiddyDee]

You might enjoy these songs more if you watch the 'A hard days night' film, which featured a lot of these tracks. It was scripted but had a documentary feel to it and the dialogue feels authentic to their individual characters. The way the film was shot and edited involves a lot of ground breaking styles in presenting a pop act, and for those, like me, who didn't get to see them live, it was the next best thing seeing them on a big cinema screen. When they emptied out the audience we just slumped down in our seats while the fans were ushered in for the next showing, so we watched it through twice, not sure how we got away with it. Don't have big expectations for their 4th album, as 'Beatles for sale' is exactly like the situation they were in for 'With The Beatles', just not enough time to write all new material. In 1964 they did the motion picture as well as two albums, plus additional singles, and more demands for live appearances and interviews, all in the same year. So 'Beatles for sale' had to be filled with more covers once again. The heavy toll on the band shows in a less upbeat tone and is very clear on their faces on the album cover.

[@beckygrant2258]

Keep in mind, these songs were all written by the Beatles and recorded as the soundtrack for their first feature film, A Hard Day’s Night, which was SO good, that the American film Institute rated it in the top 100 films of all time! Steven Spielberg (Jaws, ET, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, etc.) said they studied A Hard Day’s Night film’s cinematography in film school. You should react to that film!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I loved your take on "I'll Cry Instead." I also like the word "Ringolessness."
