Great video as always! When are you doing the Help movie reaction?

[@joescott8877]

Not asking 4 a reaction, tho that'd be great, but Beatles were right! Treat yourself to Dylan's "Like a rolling stone" someday soon, WITH (crucial!) the lyrics! His voice, yeah, can be hard to follow (or endure, lol!), but there is SO MUCH going on with his incredible tale of a rich socialite girl who decides it will be fun to "slum it" in the ghetto, but then falls into homelessness and addiction. (Truer fans of Dylan will correct me, and should!) Each verse is more mind-blowingly brilliant than the one before it.

Rubber Soul is a lot of peoples' favorite Beatle album. Multiple masterpieces throughout it and clearly marks the beginning transition of their sound.

[@sueprator9314]

Totally! Rubber Soul brought me BACK to the Beatles as it reflected a more mature shift from the early "cutsy" Beatles your parents loved...ugh. I was 14 when the Beatles arrived in 1964 and it wasn't until Rubber Soul did they start to compete with all the other music happening at the time: Motown, Rock was getting harder and trippier, the anti War movement was creating message music and yes even the good old Beach boys, whatever.

[@kevinwagner1451]

When I was a kid my dad said that Rubber Soul was his favorite album. But for some reason I barely gave the Beatles a chance and only listened to their radio hits before this album, and after revolver. Late 20's I finally listened to every Beatles album and single and Rubber Soul jumped out to me and instantly remained as my favorite albums

Funny story about the first time The Beatles smoked weed: Paul McCartney started freaking out about some realization he had, so he asked their roadie Mal Evans to grab him a pen and a piece of paper so he could write down this incredible idea he just had. He wrote it down and went "alright, when I come back down and am sober, I'll reread my idea and see what I was on about". The paper only said: "there are seven levels" lmfao.

Except the song Wait which was recorded on June 17 during the Help! sessions but it was postponed until November 11, 1965!

[@samheppener7878]

You're under the impression that all of these songs were written in 4 weeks? More like 8-12 weeks at least, still impressive but that's misleading

[@johnyarusso4953]

It was recorded October 12th to November 11th = 4 weeks + 2 days. From Beatles recording sessions by Mark Lewisohn: John and Paul had to force themselves to come up with more than a dozen songs because they had very little material. Yes Wait was a hold over from Help a WGO was an old tune that Ringo contributed some lyrics, but they didn't even have the double A side single, Day Tripper + We can work it out, written and the weren't on the lp but recorded at the same time. Sorry for being so misleading 😆

[@samheppener7878]

@@johnyarusso4953 It's just crazy to claim it was as cut and dried as 4 weeks. Norwegian wood was likely completely written in January 1965, Michelle was written in like 1959, a good portion of Girl was written in September 1963, some of In My Life was written in 1964, etc. etc.

[@johnyarusso4953]

You are definitely not a songwriter. Sure, we all have fragments of song ideas floating around but until it's finished, it's not a song. The fact the album was recorded in 4 weeks not counting a few days off, in itself is amazing. You should read Mark Lewisohns book to have a better understanding of what you are saying.

The first time Paul McCartney played in Santiago de Chile, in 1993. He started the show singing Drive my Car. Everyone in the stadium had their mouth open, feeling that we were in the presence of a Demigod. The press said, no one has the right to play Drive my Car with impunity.

I'm an elder millennial, my parents were baby boomers and were there for beatlemania around 1964. I grew up with my parents playing and replaying the Beatles for my entire childhood. My mother's favorite album was Rubber Soul, and her favorite song was In My Life, which she used to sing. So it's always been a very special song. I love seeing someone half my age discovering it for themselves and absolutely loving it precisely because of what it's meant to me. As I get older I just resonate with it more and more. It still amazes me how much better it gets with age

Yo Darius - you "yap" as much as you want at the beginning. Some of us like it. Rock on. THE BEATLES - LED ZEPPELIN - PINK FLOYD - and that's all she wrote! "Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble" - French for "These are words that go together well." - THINK FOR YOURSELF is not a love song - George said he was aiming the lyrics to British politicians. - Finally, most people who love the Beatles feel that RUBBER SOUL is the beginning of their "second phase" which ended with YELLOW SUBMARINE (released later, but recorded in 1967), and their "third phase" started in 1968 after their return from India, and their first single, HEY JUDE b/w REVOLUTION. Their "fourth phase" might be considered their post Beatles songs.

[@ArniePorter]

This album seems to be more significant to and highly admired by older Beatles fans who were around from the beginning as it not only represented a real turning point for the band but also for pop/rock music itself. To me it represents The Beatles at their collaborative if not musical peak as they were still more of a band than individual song writers who had stopped touring and gone their separate ways to a degree. This album draws from many different genres including pop, folk, motown, country, psychedelic rock, ballads and this is where the band and George Martin really started to use the studio to augment and boost the bands creativity and sound. George Harrison said that this was his favourite Beatles album and I agree. Great commentary and reaction Darius. You really get The Beatles in the way few reactors or people I know do. Great work

"Run For Your Life". Lennon talks in interviews about how jealous he was. He has a solo song from the 70's called "Jealous Guy" which is kind of a more grown up sequel to Run For Your Life. I actually never liked that song but it's cool to see it through new eyes.

[@chin70]

He also said it was his least favourite Beatles song

[@Kieop]

It helps to see it as a parody of those "love" songs which promote possessiveness and jealousy as signs of true love. It is a play on Elvis' Let's Play House, with some of the lyrics cribbed directly. John just takes these songs to their logical conclusion, which is spousal abuse and murder. I think he regrets that the song was so tongue-in-cheek as he began to realize the scope of the problem and seriousness of it. But it's meant to be a reductio ad absurdum for those songs.

[@savanna.kwieran]

@@Kieopyou're 100% right that it was written as a referendum. The problem was that the listening audience missed the absurdity, and took the song literally. And because Lennon was so idolized, it came off like he was advocating for it. But, knowing how Lennon treated women behind close doors, it's a haunting listen for me.

@@makeadifference4all Great songs, I said in the previous video Yesterday is one of the most perfect songs ever written. But girl’s lyrics were more than one dimensional now. John Lennon really evolved his songwriting on Girl, showing that the Beatles were capable of competing with the likes of Dylan in terms of lyrical ability.

@@makeadifference4all “Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure, did she understand it when he said, that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure, will she still believe it when he’s dead” vs “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay” You know, just different levels. Both are great, don’t get me wrong, but that’s my point.

Your reactions are so good man. It’s so clear you love the music of the Beatles just as much as I, an English long term Beatles fan, does. Love seeing you love this for the first time!

If it makes you feel better, John later said he regretted writing that last song.
