[@ta2gypsy]

The term "heavy" was our slang for "deep" just something big or mind blowing. Not anything about a physical size. Or as a response to some bad news or even really great "Wow man (that's) heavy

[@kenvandre4293]

When I was a cook in a restaurant back in the '80's, a waitress complained to me about something (forgot what it was). My response to her was, "Hey man, don't lay your heavy scene on me." For some reason that memory always stuck with me. 😂 And yes, I grew up in the '60's...

[@bjw0515]

When you do not listen to them for a while, you forget how GREAT they were!

[@garrettsfo]

How much music from today will we be listening to 50 years from now? The Beatles were in a class of their own. 😎👍

[@richardmartin9565]

I hear ya. I still listen to "Louie Louie"

[@brianbanta6398]

Heavy was a slang term popular in the sixties that meant something, or in this case some one, who was thought provoking.

Back in the day we used to describe these kinds of songs as "trippy". : )

[@officialtrailer1plus99]

Heavy is another way of saying she's deep or very cool or multi-dimensional. More positive attributes than just attractive. Anyway, great job! Your overall analysis is heartfelt and honest. That's all anyone listening and watching you can ask for. ✌️ 👊 KP

That bass line is fab!

1974/75 school year I was in 5th grade. Once a week or about an hour our teacher, who was probably late 40s or early 50s, would have us work quietly on an in class assignment. He would play music on a turntable during this hour. I only remember two specific albums. Ragtime music from "The Sting" soundtrack and "Abbey Road". Thank you, Mr. Redman

[@dougs78records64]

Heavy, as in intellectually deep.

Fabulous reaction. New subscriber here. No one comes close to The Beatles.

[@KJ-4321]

Great reaction to a great song! This song has such an awesome ending…like the plug was pulled! Enjoyed this choice…Thanks! 🙂

[@j.woodbury412]

I read once somewhere that that's really what happened. They were recording the song and someone accidentally tripped on the cord and unplugged it and they liked how it sounded so they decide to leave it that way.

[@hongfang2348]

John Lennon was writing about a woman (Yoko Ono) who floored him in every way. She was heavy and he wanted her

[@olmanrock5381]

Your smiles said all

[@sylvialopez5928]

My favorite ❤,

[@bobtausworthe]

I love that after writing a song like I am the Walrus which has hundreds of words in it, Yet largely says nothing, John decided to write a song with 12 words in it where each new verse says something new with the same words. Truly genius.

[@Linda-y9h]

A Masterpiece!!! Just saying "I want you and she so heavy" the word "heavy" means "really cool" So, he want this woman because she is and does is soooooo COOL(Heavy) in everything and in every way!

Completely original and diverse. The Beatles had a wicked muse.

[@summersun7320]

[@nancysmith38]

Oh Darling next!!!!!!!!

[@SharilynBratton]

I must have been a weird kid cause I was 7 when this album came out and I heard my 16 year old brother listening to it and became instantly obsessed with it! I was too young to understand the lyrics but I learned every song and kept stealing the album from my brother ha and listening to it over and over. I used to stand up on my bed holding a hairbrush for a microphone and wailing out ‘Oh Darling” with every bit of soul in my kid body ha. You need to do that one next! I will be 63 this year and this album is still in my top 5 albums of all time in my long listening years.

[@kimkovaly2393]

Totally agree Oh,Darling should be next!!!❤❤

[@MrDiddyDee]

This was John stripping away everything else to the most basic feelings, and pleading for Yoko Ono. It's all that occupies his mind, and the repetitive riffs express his relentless yearning. The Beatles were constantly looking for new ways to write songs and new production ideas, always pushing at the boundaries of what was expected of them. The sudden ending was another example of defying convention, the usual expectation being a musical sequence to end the piece or a fade out. On listening to the track played back John suddenly told the engineer to cut the track, in that era of tape recording he literally meant stop the tape and slice it. Editing in those days meant physically cutting the recording tape with a scalpel blade and splicing together with sticky tape. Cutting a multi-track tape so abruptly with such a brutal edit was against everything the engineer had ever learnt, but Lennon insisted. I think it fits the idea of the song, it appealed to his unconventional nature and also his wicked sense of humour, after being lulled into a trance you're just left hanging. Even after hearing this track since it was first released, you know it's coming, yet it still never fails to take me unawares.

[@kennbicknell5492]

*Bro! Don't sleep on Paul McCartney's band, WINGS (after the Beatles broke up). "Jet," "Maybe I'm Amazed," and others are iconic 70s vibes!* 🙌🏾💪🏾👊🏾

First use of white noise in a track I believe?

That's John playing the lead and singing with George doing the fills.

John telling Yoko how much he wants her.

[@dgator3599]

Funny how they can do this song with just a couple of lines. The song you have to listen to is "Oh Darling". It's my ringtone for when my husband is calling LOL!

[@thejoyofthemusicinmylife7897]

If you noticed that most of the lyrics of this song uses the title of the song.

[@MDreeezy]

I appreciate that alot! Means more than you know, i really enjoy this music journey.

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

The ebb and flow of this tune is so different from any other song. It’s almost a mantra because they repeat their two main lines so much. It’s like they’re try to sing their wishes into being. Back then, heavy meant she’s DEEP!❤

[@ESyshej-gf2eg]

I believe the term you’re looking for is dark, ominous, almost sinister.. this song is beautifully hunting, and by the end it sounds like it descents more and more into madness, the instrumental and the vocals on this track is truly something else, and the subtle combination of genres, the switch ups of the tempo, I think this is their ultimate masterpiece. When people say the Beatles weren’t good musicians they haven’t listened to this track.

[@retiredfirelt586]

There is no other way to end this song. 😎

[@alfredoramirez1022]

Ballad of John and Yoko is awesome

[@markrobertson-pd1sw]

Heavy meaning deep or thought provoking.

[@bill3118]

Heavy=intense.

[@CharlesHoward-ud6qv]

She’s so heavy is kind of edgy rock. I want you is really blues and blues jazz based. If you notice the guitar line is following the lead vocals and lays just underneath. Then the solo follows the melody but the treble knob or pot is rolled back to give the guitar a bassier tone with Ringo staying on the ride cymbal with his right hand. Then the verse after the solo Ringo continues on the ride cymbal but it’s slightly kicked up in the mix while Lennon leans into the vocals more and the treble is turned back up on the guitar for a brighter tone as it follows the lead vocals again to go back to a more blues sound again. These changes are subtle but very dynamic and so successfully captures what they were doing. Then the end gets edgy again with a more rock sound as they go back into She’s so Heavy. Then on top of everything else it’s really different from anything they’ve ever done. I love this track.

[@atuuschaaw]

Abbey road incorporates medleys, which for me are hypnotic and trippy (which I enjoy). 😉 My top three albums from them are Abbey Road, The White Album, and Sgt. Pepper's. ♥

[@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835]

Nice

[@MagicCityGirl]

Billy Preston on the organ. He came in and played with them for many sessions. If you have a chance check out the film by Peter Jackson called "Get Back". He took the outtakes from the film "Let It Be" and the original master tapes and put together a magnificent film, showing them in the studio recording over a little over a month. It's really very good and an interesting insight into them in the studio.

[@donaldmoon]

Thank you Good job

[@dougieyou]

Apparently they were playing and the tape ran out and thats why it ends so abruptly ..they decided to leave it that way.

[@ChannelSseb]

No, they told the engineer to cut it, so that is the abrupt ending.

[@debjorgo]

@@ChannelSseb It was going to run out 20 seconds later anyway. So, you're both right on this. I like that side 2 runs out short too. This was because it was snipped from the medley.

[@mve5225]

Rather than chaotic I say haunting. To me there is intentional lyrical ambiguity. It seems sometimes they say "I want you" and other times "I'll haunt you"

[@RichardRitenour0522]

The reason the song just cut off is because it fades into the next song. The Abbey Road album is meant to be listened to from beginning to end to get the full effect. I listen to this album quite regularly.

[@timetravellingone]

Another great late 60's band The Byrds "Turn, turn, turn" "Mr. Tambourine man" "Eight miles high" "Feel a whole lot better" "So you want to be a rock and roll star"

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Heavy means serious, deep. Pink Floyd recorded in the next studio over at Abbey Road, and I always thought that Roger Waters, maybe unintentionally, got his inspiration for the heavy bass-based theme for ‘The Wall’ from the fade-out theme of this song.

[@davidbarnes1113]

I know you also like blue eyed soul, so you might like Teena Marie, “Behind The Groove”. In my opinion she’s the queen of Blue eyed soul. Her song with Rick James, “Fire And Desire” is also amazing.

So many great artist un-alived suddenly at age 27 . Accidents, fires, OD & misadventure. The 27 Club is still around today. My 27 yo son joined suddenly in his sleep 4-20-2020.

Hey John Lennon is singing about his obsession w Yoko Ono. In The She's so Heavy chorus heavy was an expression that could mean deep or intense, but was a positive thing.

[@a.dariuskamali8248]

The needle literally falls off the record--meaning on into infinity.

I vote for the "Abbey Road Medley" next!!! (unless you did it & I missed it? Kind of new here, been trying to catch up with past videos) 👍 🎶🎧🎹🎸🥁🎷🎵🔥

It was a duet with a guitar in different keys and tempos. It's a head song. Smoke dope and groove.

With headphones. Just did. Genius.

[@alanshepherd4304]

Don't need any dope, the music is the dope!!🙄🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@CharlesHoward-ud6qv]

I want you is in Am. The first verse is Am with the lead guitar following the vocal. The second part of the verse goes to Dm which is the four chord of the progression and the lead guitar follows the vocal. Bad it’s driving me mad it’s driving me mad is F C Bb run up to E7.the E7 is the five chord of the progression So basically it’s a 1Am to 4 Dm to 5 E7 with a blues feel. The tempo change is She’s so Heavy.

[@richardmartin9565]

​@@alanshepherd4304 That's what we were doing in 69 and 70 while listening to Abby Road. I quit smoking in the summer of 71.
