Drive My Car is a euphemism for sex.

The end of Norwegian Wood, he burned down the house because she led him on and forced him to sleep in the bath. Here’s a quote from Paul: “…it meant I burned the f**king place down as an act of revenge.”

revolver is a must-do next... it's arguably their best, most concise album and a great gateway drug to the band

[@matthewashman1406]

Help is the gateway

[@mokrodog]

When you react to revolver make sure it’s 2022 mixes. DONT fw the 09 mixes🙏🏻👍🏻

Man, listing to Beatles I feel I'm from diffrent planet comparing to plastic music today...

[@allauricia1985]

Girl is the best song on the album IMO Listen to it again !

[@debjorgo]

She's saying "Baby you can drive my car". "I told that girl I could start right away. She said listen babe I got something to say. "I got no car and it's breaking my heart. But I've found a driver and that's a start.""

You're a very literal man.

I've heard The Beatles described many ways, different words used but " cute" is not one of them. Especially this album ! I realize you're young and I don't mean to offend you but in my opinion, the word cute and The Beatles don't belong in the same sentence. Unless we're referring to their looks..lol

This album is great. Chronologically, this is their first "great" album. Every song is great, even the songs most people say are the worst on the album (What Goes On and Run For Your Life). There isn't really a story in this album, or at least there isn't intended to be one, but it's always interesting to see somebody interpret one. Sgt. Pepper was the closest they'd get to really having a concept album, the concept basically being "what if we weren't the Beatles?" but they mainly used that to escape creative limitations and the album itself doesn't do anything with the concept of the Lonely Hearts Club Band itself, though I don't really think they intended it to be all about said band. I'd say for the Beatles, absolutely do Revolver next! Unlike this album, there are three different versions available to listen to. Which one you do is up to you, but it's usually advised to avoid the 2009 remaster of every Beatles album if possible. I personally suggest the mono mix for Revolver (available on Disc 4 of the Super Deluxe edition) as it's what the Beatles originally intended us to hear and the 2022 mix isn't very faithful to the mono mix. With Sgt. Pepper, I suggest the new mixes on the Super Deluxe edition because they're very faithful to the mono mix, since Giles Martin and Sam Okell actually cared about the project back then. The mono mix is really good too, it just cuts off the ending on streaming. Glad you enjoyed the album, looking forward to more Beatles! Also looking forward to some King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard if you don't already listen to them!!

Sgt pepper 🫑 concept is LSD 😮. Throughout

[@mjs734]

Would love to see you do more Bowie - try Station to Station, Low and Blackstar. Also be good to have you listen to the new Cure album Songs Of A Lost World

[@superpony4865]

Do revolver next not sergeant pepper

[@debjorgo]

The Beatles hadn't invented the concept album yet. None of these songs are related to each other. Four different singers even. "Run for Your Life" was based on an Elvis Presley song, "Baby, Let's Play House". "Now listen to me baby. Try to understand. I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man. Come back baby, come. Come back baby. I want to play house with you."

[@matthewashman1406]

Cute 😮😂. Sheesh could u say it anymore?😊

[@Hoboshack2121]

Man, Red didn't win :( But this reaction was still enjoyable though :)

[@whoisdonnieboi]

Red is still otw! been wanting to check out more king crimson

[@debjorgo]

Most people I know say the 2009 remasters or the new remixes are best. The new mixes were done because some people don't like the stereo mixes on the 2009 remasters. All the Beatles albums, up to and including Sgt Pepper, were recorded on 4-track machines. Not very good for getting a modern stereo mix. Since mono mixes sound even more antiquated, new mixes are being made using new technology that allows for isolating voices and instruments and creating more modern sounding mixes. It's a mixed bag though. Many of the 2009 mixes are still better. The American Capitol original mix should be avoided since it doesn't have all the tracks.

Your ADD method of reacting is annoying ... Immersion into the song is screwed ... 👎
