FIRST TIME HEARING The Beatles “She’s Leaving Home” and “In My Life” REACTION (EMOTIONAL)

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

This particular video was filmed (last month) in October, shortly after my birthday week, but was blocked for a month. It’s unblocked now so I do hope you enjoy watching Fam!♥️

[@overweg57]

It’s a late Birthday presentator you , and for me a early present , my Birthday is 17 th of November . Love from Holland! 😘🇳🇱🎂

[@Isleofskye]

Very much enjoyed your reaction. In My Life becomes more and more relevant as someone gets older. If I return to the High Street where I was raised in London then it is unrecognizable in places and I start to question whether this was the same place that I grew up on and at 67 years old then the reality becomes all to real that some people who you were very close to are no longer with us and also you witness one by one so many great and talented and famous people pass on and some of them are very much part of your journey in life.....

"She's Leaving Home"...One of my favourite ever songs...Harmonies, clarity of delivery...and of course...an amazing story...just genius and beautiful x10 The lines....Daddy 'OUR babies gone....which then becomes...'How could she do this to me' where the mother becomes so 'internal, almost selfish...which shows the relationship she had with her daughter.....wow....just pure genius. The mothers lack of awareness....expecting they know what their daughter needs and wants...and their ignorance of how she really feels...all about them and their pain. A lesson for any parent. Perfection personified. AND...No needless 'middle Eight'!

[@bobbelleci9995]

The boys are collectively and individually, genius musical artists. The songs they write and play have the most amazing quality that nobody else has. Harpsichord? Violins? Oboes? Timeless. Something for everyone at any age. As I/we get older I think we find ourselves immersed in the lyrics and melodies that takes us back to something we can all identify with. It's the same, yet different for each of us. I do get teary-eyed listening to them as well. I grew up with them too. It hurts, but means a lot. Thanks 😊😊

[@michaeldezego340]

I was 8 years old when this album was released. I didn't get the impact of this song being so young, but now at 62 years old it moves me to tears. It is amazing how music can move people.

You and I are the same age. And the same thing happens to me. My daughter and I danced together to "In My Life" at her wedding fifteen years ago.

I bought Sgt Pepper when it was released on CD, June 1, 1987. While I wasn’t 8 years old, at 22 I was still too young to really get the impact of the lyrics. Now with three adult daughters, it’s hard to get through lol

[@NigelT57]

The lady who played the harp was a session player from one of London's professional orchestras. Apparently she came in and Paul and Mike Leander [producer] said 'we want it to sound like this', so she played just that. She was paid £19. :) . The backing singers are just John and Paul.

I loved watching your reaction to hearing this classic Beatles' song. I remember the first time heard She's Leaving Home, long ago, I was entranced. The beautiful vocal by Paul McCartney and the haunting backing vocal of John Lennon makes this special. thank you for sharing

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Imagine. McCartney was 19 when he wrote these lyrics. The world is a better place, because the Beatles walked this earth.

[@dermotohalloran6482]

John Lennon wrote the lyrics and the music

[@jackcanfora]

@@dermotohalloran6482 Not according to most sources. This is largely Paul's, which he wrote in 1967, not at 19. Lennon contributed the part he sang (the backing vocal) , which I think makes the song even better.

[@jackcanfora]

Also, the lyric is very un-Lennon like. 9 times out of ten, Paul wrote the narrative lyrics, whereas the bulk of John's lyrics were first person

[@dermotohalloran6482]

I was talking about In My Life. Paul wrote She’s Leaving Home in 1967, based on a newspaper article. He was about 25 then

[@dermotohalloran6482]

@Paul Tuff She's Leaving Home was written by Paul, In My Life is John's

[@jackdanereacts4527]

So many Beatles songs use the contrast between John and Paul's voices so effectively. This is one of the best.

[@Robert-m2m]

[@49buzzy]

My wife and i are the parents of a single child - a girl - and when she left home I listened to this song many times, crying my heart out - my heart will ache until i die.

[@stephenbrough8132]

You have my deep sympathy, Bruce - This song has always made me imagine being in that situation because in the late 60's, one of my teenage sisters got into dru ... (can't spell full words that may automatically cause my comment to be deleted by You Tube) and kept running off to London, aged 14 i guess, having to be brought back days later by police, only to run away again ... although I was only about 10, I was conscious of the worry she caused our parents and I think all of us were affected by this and other scary things she did. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth after she luckily met a good bloke who straightened her head out a bit - She is kinda in denial of her past - understandably . Anyway - I can only hope your daughter is innocently unaware of the degree of pain her leaving caused. As kids or young adults, some of us are simply blissfully ignorant for decades, that our parents miss us. I didn;t realise how much my parents missed me when I moved towns to marry and only visited reluctantly - I wasn;t conscious of what it must be like for a parent to lose contact for any significant period of time until decades too late, when I was told my mum was crying behind the door after I'd gone home from one of my relatively short and rare visits. It's only NOW hitting home how painful it must be to be parted from children especially, as various examples of this keep popping into my life ... sorry I'm being a bit vague because I've started explaining something I can;t really finish. ANYWAY - SUFFICE IT TO SAY, I have a lot of sympathy. My friend has a tiny 3 year old who I adore like she was my own and I now see everything through the lens of how much I would miss her if we lost contact for any reason - It's a strange bond, even though I'm not even related. sorry, I'm blabbing on. I wish I had something helpful to say other than I'm so sorry for you and your wife.

I'm grateful I grew up in this era, and I'm also thankful that many new fans are hearing what I've been listening to for 60-plus years. No doubt so much great music was released from 1960-1990 (or thereabouts) which I love, but The Beatles were truly the greatest! Continued blessings to you and your channel.

part of it was there were no singles released off of the Sergeant Pepper Album, and this probably would have been a B side if on a 45 rpm at all. i think Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds would have bee a great single...except everyone believed that trash about it meaning LSD. but instead we got All You Need is Love around the same time for the single.

"She's leaving home" was mostly Paul with John joining in. Paul switching doing the back up part and John taking the lead as it is termed. "In my life" was all John on lead with Paul and George singing back up. They also added piano, an electric organ or harpsichord and cello driving that first melody. They covered or reinvented several styles of music genres in their short 7 years recording together. Amazing songs. They were all great on their own but they were amazing together!
