Teen Reacts To The Beatles - In My Life!!!

[@juancarloslockgallegos2994]

[@rhondashinn4952]

I know the song will be played when my time here on earth is done.

[@vickjr98]

Very true

[@wrorchestra1]

This track goes to prove that George Martin was the 5th Beatle. He wrote and played the high piano solo which is actually played 1 octave lower at half speed. When the speed was played faster, the octave jumped and the piano sounds almost like a muted harpsichord or a Rhodes piano. If you have Disney+ and you like The Beatles and song writing, I'd highly recommend Get Back. It's 9 hours long, split into 3x 3 hour films but to see some of their famous songs emerge before your eyes is amazing.

[@danielzugueibcoutinho5554]

fun fact: Martin produced other bands, but never succeeded like with the Beatles. One famous band that he was the producer was America - a great band from de 70s. The 4 lads prom Liverpool were truly great composers that turns Martin better too. They could make music from other dimensions and Martin grow a lot as a producer too. That guys were incredible sourcerers! (Pardon for my terrible english!)

The instrument you are asking about is a piano recorded at half speed, then played back at normal speed, which gave the piano the timbre & sound of a harpsichord. The Beatles producer, George Martin wrote and played the instrumental bridge on “In My Life”.

The Beatles - the first ever successful pop band and in some quarters were considered the best that's ever existed. And I'm pleased to say that I was there when it first kicked off in Liverpool. I was lucky enough to be a '60's teen. It was a magic time to be that age and experience first hand the wonderful music that was being produced at the time and the music that was yet to come moving from the '60's into the '70's. The two greatest decades for pop/rock music in my opinion!

Dude, this is regarded as one of the greatest love songs of all times. You have no idea how many weddings, receptions, ceremonies, Renewables, proposals, Etc this has been incorporated into. And it's shown up in tons of movies and so forth. One of John Lennon's greatest songs I believe. This whole album was fascinating because it was a huge pivotal album between there earlier years in their later years. It's it's fire. Everything on it is fascinating. But then all of their albums are just really really good. Each in their own way. They were constantly and rapidly evolving. And some of those parts of Abbey Road that you mentioned, oh my God that's some great material. And if you do decide to cover that, do your research first or asking here, because many of those are medleys and designed to run one into the other. And that's how all of us know them and you really can't break them apart. And have you really listened to everything on Magical Mystery Tour? I find that hard to believe. It's one of their albums that didn't do so well right at the time but for the Beatles that means it still did fantastically, but by the time I was listening to a lot in junior high and high school, I realized I loved every song on it very deeply. It's all really fascinating stuff. Revolver came after Rubber Soul and before the other stuff and so it's really also a huge transition album with tons of great material on it. Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a freaking tour of force. It's just phenomenal.

One of the best love songs written by John Lennon. The harpsichord sound you hear in the break is actually a piano which is slowed down in the studio. I love seeing young people being shown how the Beatles really influenced music even today. Rubber Soul was a Renaissance album in that it showed the growth of the Beatles to write music which had more substance and also was the start of their experimentation in the studio.

[@andyallan2909]

One of the most beautiful songs ever. The first Beatles album I had was "Meet the Beatles."

[@dougsusie2319]

This is a John Lennon song that he wrote right before his 25th Birthday and very mature song writing. This song is a classic as is "Rubber Soul" this Lp was the game changer for the band and popular music. They went from being a pop band to serious, thoughtful songwriters. Not that their early music from 1963-64 isn't great in it's own right, but this went to a new level. Do you know why? Here's why. In 1964 when The Beatles were on their first US tour, they were in NYC and the legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan wanted too meet them. He went to their hotel room and brought along a good friend of his named marijuana and got them high for the first time. They became major league pot heads after this encounter and it changed their music very quickly. You can begin to hear it on their first Lp in 1965 "Help" Lennon's songs were becoming more personal and the follow up Lp "Rubber Soul" is the game changer. Lennon always referred to it as "The Pot Album" and you can hear it. The Lp reeks of reefer, very laid back and a lot more acoustic. Lennon's "Nowhere Man" is a must listen along with his songs "Girl" and "Norwegian Wood" all iconic Lennon songs. A year after this in 66 Lennon and Harrison were onto LSD which resulted in the "Revolver"Lp and maybe their best Album. The single " Paperback Writer/"Rain" released in May 66 just several months before "Revolver" the Lennon song "Rain" is a must listen. The first LSD inspired Lennon song and so many studio firsts on this song. First song with a backwards music and lyrics outro to an end of a song and a lot more going on in this song. Technology had to be created that wasn't in place yet for this song, its great and a must listen. The remix of the "Revolver" Lp was released last September and sounds incredible. As a bonus they they included the remix of this single and both songs sound great. "Rain" is a must listen. I would suggest that any song you listen to from the "Revolver" Lp "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" "The White Album" "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be" you want the 50th anniversary remixes of these album's. They sound great. "Revolver" was released in 66 so there wasn't a 50th anniversary remix of it done so they were talking about a about a 60th anniversary release in 2026. We Beatle fans were having none of that and we got it last September. The next big one is "Rubber Soul" and we're hoping for that one maybe later this year like Oct.-Dec. One more great one for you is George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun" from the "Abbey Road " remix and it sounds incredible and there's a nice video with it. Even with the incredible catalogue of Lennon/McCartney songs, this one by Harrison is the #1 streamed Beatles song on Spotify with over 700 million plays, so you kinda got to check it out and maybe, just maybe, my favorite Beatles song if one can pick a favorite Beatles song. Peace ❤

[@kestrelle5345]

The piano, is the instrument you asked about but there's a twist: “In My Life features a Baroque-styled piano solo by Beatles producer George Martin, who could not match the tempo of the song. The solo was thus recorded at half-tempo and the tape speed was doubled for the final recording, giving the piano solo a unique timbre.”

[@tdgallagher218]

This song is one of my favorites. It will always remind me of that sad day when John Lennon was killed. This was one of the first songs I heard that following morning after I learned of the tragedy. .

[@ericanderson8886]

Revolver is probably their best album, but The White Album would be the most fun to react to because it has so many different genres and some just plain weird songs. Beatles tend to block so good luck.

I think you'd like "Because" on Abbey Road. It's a beautiful song by John.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It's such an incredibly beautiful song and Alice Cooper did a killer version of it later on. He was a huge Beatles fan. If you're familiar with classical music at all, as an intermediate piano student, it's extremely common to learn the Beethoven classic Moonlight Sonata. Well at the time that John wrote this, he and Yoko were hanging out basically impressing each other with how talented and intense they were. And so, he was teaching her how to play Beethoven Moonlight Sonata and then once she thought she really had it down, he was kidding her mostly and he said well in that case do what Beethoven used to do, be able to look at a piece and play it backwards. And she immediately started trying to do that, and what he was hearing drove him to immediately go right out the song Because. And if you listen to it in that light, you will hear exactly what I mean.

[@forwardpeace]

@@stevedahlberg8680 Wow, I didn't know any of that, but I used to play Moonlight Sonata! Yes, I can hear the similarity in the arpeggio structures. Wow, thanks, Steve.

A lot of people say that Rubber Soul was sort of the turning point of The Beatles and I would agree. Before this album they had a lot of amazing songs however the vast majority of em were sort of your typical love song that everybody was doing. They decided to stray a bit from that starting with Rubber Soul and this song (despite being a love song itself) is a perfect example of John Lennon starting to not only grow as a songwriter but as a man as well. In my life is about John self reflecting and coming to understand how he got to where he is by looking back and appreciating everything and everyone (good and bad) for making him the man that he was at the time

Always great seeing another generation discovering the greatest rock band of all time.

They literally lead music in the 1960’s.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

That second half of Abbey Road is one long suite of songs that really needs hearing together. "Please Please Me" was their first album. Only six years between then and Abbey Road, which is mind-blowing; today some bands take six years to put out an album!. "In My Life" is one of the world's greatest love songs IMO - simply gorgeous. The keyboard part is a sped-up piano, made to sound like a harpsichord. It was played by their producer, George Martin.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

If you are saying that you actually watched The Beatles early animation Yellow Submarine. That's really impressive. That was so popular when I was in grade school!

That and With a Little Help from My Friends. But he had others as well.

if your going to listen to an album, i highly suggest the white album. its probably my favourite beatles album just because it has so many different genres of music and in my opinion consistently good songs one after the other. and they didnt just cover many different genres in just that one album - throughout their entire career, they were constantly changing their style and sound. i could honestly name 5 beatles songs that sound like they were made from different bands. “love me do” “within you without you” “helter skelter” “good night” “you never give me your money”. seriously these guys were so talented and i can nearly guarantee that you would find so many great songs if you gave them a proper listen. anyway i’ll shut up now. i recommend listening to the white album.

[@richardmiddleton4634]

And I would side with George Martin, who opined to the band that they could cut almost half the songs off the White Album for a better result. One of my best friends considers this heresy.

[@JFFM730]

@@richardmiddleton4634 personally I think it was the right decision to have a double album. The band had never made one before and no official Beatles album had been released in a while, and having double the amount of songs kind of made it worth the wait for the general public imo.

About the instrumental bridge...from Wikipedia: "At that time, Lennon had not decided what instrument to use, but he subsequently asked George Martin to play a piano solo, suggesting "something Baroque-sounding".[2] Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded with the tape running at half speed, so when played back at normal pace the piano was twice as fast and an octave higher, solving the performance challenge and also giving the solo a unique timbre, reminiscent of a harpsichord." Studio innovation right there.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

The ones you don't know are called Gems, you only find them by listening to the whole album, like we use to do.

[@simply_psi]

Silas, the keyboard solo was played by their producer George Martin, he slowed down the tape during recording so that when it was played back at normal speed it was sped up to sound more like a harpsichord. Definitely more Beatles, so many great songs like Helter Skelter, Taxman, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Long and Winding Road, A Day in The Life, And Your Bird Can Sing, Don't Let Me Down, I'm Only Sleeping and I Want You are just a few of the cornucopia of treats in their catalogue. You should do a whole album from eitther Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road they are all top tier albums.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Oh yeah, that keyboard was a clavinet. I have played one in a live show a few times, it's pretty fun. There was a fascination with slightly older keyboards like clarinets and farfisa organs for example, just in general around that time. That was their genius producer George Martin playing that baroque-style keyboard solo on the clarinet. Although it's sped up on tape somehow.

[@LeChaunce]

It's not a clavinet. It's a Steinway upright piano, played at half-speed and then sped up because George Martin couldn't play it to tempo. The sped-up tape gives it that clavinet/harpsichord quality. You can find the slowed-down version on KZbin.

In America "Meet the Beatles" was their first Capitol Records album. I think "Rubber Soul" in America was their 6 th American Capitol album released December 1965. I was in 10 Grade in High School. The keyboard was a piano that Paul played, and George Martin The Beatles record producer modified the sound of. There was an early Beatles cartoon show mostly for kids, There was also their feature animated movie, "Yellow Submarine". The second side of Abbey Road songs Mean Mr. Mustard, etc was a continuous medley of songs. By the way, the "Please Please Me" only released in England initially. It was released after Capitol Records "Meet the Beatles" in America.

John Paul and George in their teens combed Liverpool record shops for 1950s American pop/rock records (including early 60s Am girl groups such as The Shirrels). They covered dozens of those songs in late 50s local gigs and early 60s Hamburg clubs-then in 62-63 (with an eccentric human metronome in Ringo) found themselves in British Beatlemania. By 1964 they were re-inventing rock n roll for good, worldwide…and the rest is modern rock/pop history😊

always in my top 5 of Beatles songs. You were right that the solo was a keyboard with an altered effect.

Wiki says the keyboard solo is reminiscent of a harpsichord but really is piano played at twice the speed (recorded at half speed)..in a baroque style...by George...NOT HARRISON...MARTIN!

Don't you like how a song this good just sits innocently on an album...not a single...not a song people put in the list of all time great songs, but it's fantastic.

This is one of their shortest songs if not the shortest. I love this song it is one of my favourites. The instrument sounded like a harpsicord.

[@adsonjetson]

The keyboard instrument in the middle is a piano sped up during recording to sound like a classical era clavichord.

I would love to see you do more Beatles stuff. My suggestion would be to listen to entire albums, especially from Rubber Soul onwards (though the ones from before that period aren’t too shabby either.

In My Life is a beautiful song. I heard a lot of Beatles on classic rock radio as a teen in the 80's, but when they released their albums on CD in the late 80's, I bought and listened to them and found some really great "deep" or maybe "not-so-deep" cuts that were good, too. I'd love it if you'd react to one or more Beatles albums. I'd recommend Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, the White Album and Abbey Road. On the White Album, I would skip Revolution 9. It's an experimental "song" that's just a bunch of weird noise. It was really done by John Lennon's girlfrend (later wife) Yoko Ono, and is some kind of art project.

I'd like to see a reaction to R 9 just for the W.T.F. was that look.

This is my all time Beatles song thank you.

[@izzykhach]

It was a speeded up keyboard played by George Martin, made to sound like a harpsichord

[@sammyd8860]

The weird sounding instrument was a piano speeded up to sounded like a harpischord. It was played by George Martin the producer

[@justplainbrad7713]

All this time I thought it was a harpsichord*, slowed down to resemble a piano...played by Eric Cartman, the critic. . . . {*Did you not notice the red line under the word?}

I grew up listening to the Beatles from the womb, lol. When I see your face I remember how much their music meant to me and helped me get through the tough times growing up. My friends brother was older than us and so we learned the White Album first, then Revolver, Abbey Road and the list goes on. I'm so happy that young people still enjoy their music.
