For many things another saying is true: "It's all over except for the crying". That's the case with mankind. He's destroyed several things about the planet beyond repair. Too much pollution, greed, hatred, wars and just plain old selfishness. And while it is true that if everybody had love for everybody, then man might be able to achieve a great civilization. But that's just never going to happen. There has always been a lot of hatred in the world. No reason to believe that's ever going to change, not while God isn't governing mankind. But thanks for the positivity. I hope you and George and all the other undying optimists are right - that man will get his act together and make his (our) civilization a beautiful thing. I simply think that this whole mess is a demonstration in the futility of man trying to govern himself without God. We have everything we need to create a utopian civilization, yet we ever fail. "The handwriting is on the wall." "Stick a fork in it." We're done. (Too many clichés?) But DAMN - this was a great song! So well written! And the recording/arrangement!!! - Listen to it with good headphones or high quality ear buds to hear everything the best. Or, at (very) high volume through high quality speakers (JBL, etc.). But good quality headphones/ear buds are the best in my opinion. I prefer them over loudspeakers in the studio, even for just playback. You can better hear the stereo effects, and those sounds at very low volume in the background. It's impossible to get the same listening experience with loudspeakers.

Glad you liked it! Imagine how we felt as teenagers listening when it first hit. I was 13. We used to say, "Clapton is god." But The Beatles -- that's why everybody freaked out when they broke up. People talked about it for at least ten years.

The final verse, that was left out: "I look from the wings, at the play you are staging, while my guitar gently weeps, 'cause I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging, still my guitar gently weeps." This song has a circular structure, almost as if laid out on a mandala, and George wrote another song called "Circles", about the same time, it was intended for this same album, but it didn't come out until 1982.

These Beatles reaction videos always make me happy. I can't remember what it was like to hear Beatles songs for the first time, but there's just so much there that makes you go wtf, how did they write all this shit in 8 years?

You should check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame version of this song with Prince. Rock n Roll legends fill the stage and Prince steals the show. It's rare when I like a non Beatles version of a Beatles song so much but it's amazing. BTW, Eric Clapton plays the guitar solo in this original version of the song. George Harrison wrote some of the most beautiful Beatles songs.

[@amuppet6678]

Agreed - should put this one on the agenda.

[@Humblemumble7]

I dont believe that was part of the R&R Hall of Fame thing. I think that was the concert for George after he passed right? Because George was still alive when they were inducted in the 80s. The Prince thing was very recent

[@williampearson9679]

There are many versions with Clapton and Harrison playing lead together that are outstanding and in my opinion better than Prince’s which was good, but with too much flare, unbecoming of a George composition. There is this one with Dave Grohl, Gary Clark Jr and Joe Walsh playing on the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles coming to America that well worth a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKGuoottit6Dbqc

Just think, they "formed" in 1962... put out all this timeless, incredible music, and were done as a band by 1970. 51 years ago. Thankfully, they all went on to create some incredible music after that as solo artists. This amount of talent in a single band will never be equaled again.

John & Paul started playing/writing together in 1957. They recorded their first record as "The Quarrymen" in 1958. Their first professional recording sessions were in Hamburg, Germany in 1961. By the time they made their "first" recordings for EMI in June, 1962, they were already quite well established.

[@iShootFast]

John and Paul started a little earlier than that. But your point is valid. How much chart-topping music (and just how much music in general) they made in such a short time, and how different it was start to finish - how much growth and change they had musically - is amazing. They were before my time, but my dad was a fan so I listened to them growing up. And now I hear their influence in most modern music.

My son and I were dressed as Scooby Doo characters last Halloween and we recorded a spontaneous cover of this song. We had never played it 'together' before, but it was the only song that we both knew from memory, off the top of our heads. The audio isn't great, but I uploaded it for our family as a Halloween greeting, and aside from the sound quality, we got a groove going, just piano and guitar. Your channel has low-key been an inspiration to me in the past year. I suffered a head injury and lost my memory 4 years ago, and I knew I loved music but didn't remember that I played piano/'did' music. Watching you discover tunes has helped me re-discover those tunes and even recover memories that I thought I'd lost forever. And this sounds dorky, but after the 100th time you said "do the work every day" I decided to try taking your advice. I'm not comfortable on camera (which probably shows--I'm sort of 'autistic' since the injury), but I 'remembered' the hell out of this song, and I realised that I'd played it for so many years before the amnesia that my son knew it as well as I did. Music lives within the memory of our bodies... and those memories are tenacious enough to withstand brain injury. :) Anyway, sorry I rambled, but this channel has brought me out of my shell a little bit, and I guess I thought I should say thank you. (Even if nobody else does when they come across my videos.) :) You're a rock star!

The Beatles were ahead of their time, but one person who made a big impact on The Beatles music was their producer George Martin. He was responsible for talking The Beatles to “the next level”. He filled out their music with the full orchestral sound. The strings and violins playing added so much depth to their songs.
