"She's Leaving Home" has a new big fan. I love that song. The story, the mixture of Paul & John singing and the lush strings. Whoa! I'm glad you like it so much too.

[@jori1]

This is Lennon on Getting Better: "It is a diary form of writing. All that 'I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved' was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically... any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster." That interview was made a few months before he died. I'll add that personally I think people are so well aware of Lennon's violent past mostly because he was personally so honest about it and vocal about his desire to change. Several stars of that era were abusive to women, very few would talk about it. Later on, Ringo would also admit to beating his wife - and who doesn't love Ringo?

[@tomhuhn7082]

Again, for your age, you are very insightful surpassing many much older than yourself! Looking forward to the next one.

[@mikeyg3414]

The loop on the end of A Day in the life was etched onto the shiney middle part of the original vinyls . Also whilst the crescendo piano part is fading they played tones at a frequency only dogs could hear

[@se6369]

Paul did the guitar solo on Good Morning Good Morning

[@dougdoesall]

'Within you Without You' featured George writing, singing, and playing sitar. The rest of the instruments are parts of an Indian orchestra...violins, tablas, harmonium, swarmandal, and dilruba.. This is to not discount George in that his ideas and influences and he himself decided what to do with the song. That's more than many of Lennon and McCartney's songs, where they depended on George Martin for ideas and performances and conducting of other musicians/orchestras

[@kpmac1]

Many people view A Day in the Life as the Beatles' masterpiece and they have a point. It's pretty remarkable.

[@gregorydahl5489]

Thank you for producing such a great reaction video to this exceptional Beatles album ! You were very entertaining and as usual so insightful in your assessment of these superb songs ! Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was the first Beatles album that I sat down and thoroughly listened to with full attention, when I was 15. It took a few hours to do even though all in one sitting with no breaks, since I kept starting it over again and again after A Day in a Life finished. Just couldn’t get enough of this. It was amazing and still is !

[@pizzarellayt]

Regarding the outro of A Day In The Life, it was put in the runout groove of the vinyl record. When you get to the end of a side of a vinyl record, there's a small space where the needle will move a bit, and then go back to the beginning of that space. Normally, there would be nothing there, but The Beatles put some studio chatter there, so it plays infinitely until you stop it. And before that, there's a high pitched sound that drives dogs crazy. The idea was basically the track ends, your dog freaks out, and theres all this noise that doesn't stop, supposed to freak you out. Also, Paul sings the chorus of Lucy, there are guest musicians on Within You (but George is the only Beatle memmber,) and Paul plays the solo on Good Morning. One last thing, the 2009 version is widely considered the worst possible way to listen to this album. This album has the most differences between stereo and mono (mono being the version that The Beatles wanted you to hear and actually worked on up until [I think] Magical Mystery Tour.) I would seriously recommend checking out the mono version, you can find it toward the end of the (Super) Deluxe version of the album, it's the version of the tracks without any subtitle like "Remastered 2009" or "Remix." All in all, amazing album, looking forward to more!

[@larshenrikfabrin7640]

Thank you for a great reaction to one of the greatest albums ever made. I very much enjoyed it, nice to see that even though you were super excited going into it, you were not disappointed at all - but amazed by it, it seems. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your Beatles journey

[@dcfan2020]

No side 2 slump here. In fact they kind of kicked up the energy with more electric guitars and up-tempo songs: "Lovely Rita", "Good Morning, Good Morning" and "Sgt. Pepper's Reprise" before the fantastic finish with "A Day In The Life".

[@NehemiahRyan]

A Day in the Life is just about daily life (hence the song title). John and Paul took random stories out of a newspaper and put their own artistic twist on them. The middle section was just a little snippet that Paul had written but didn't know what to do with so they stuck in the middle. The song was more of a songwriting exercise than anything else. It's best to just enjoy the music, John's beautiful voice, Ringo's incredible drumming and think of it as just talking about various day to day things in life. I hope that helps. Magical Mystery Tour was my favorite Beatles album when I was your age so I'm looking forward to your reaction to it!

[@bookcraver1]

Lyric, I had to laugh! Just imagine how it was for us, hearing this album for the first time. We didn't have the internet to help us figure out what we just listened to! Love your reactions.

[@lucianoteixeira7993]

I'm so excited about that. I love that you loved it. Again, so much too say. Just to keep with the ending tracks: Good Morning is usually dismissed by many, but I really love that song. It's the more rock'nroll song in the album and it's pure fun. With the Sgt. Peppers reprise, it works as a perfect connection with the last track, probably Beatles' masterpiece. The weird animal sounds are a funny reference to Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. Listen to that album (btw, another fantastic album and very influential to the Beatles and anyone who listened at that time) and you'll catch that. I love the fact that it begins with pet animals sounds and finish with wild ones. And at last, the Lennon vocals in A Day in the Life, omg. They are surely his best, not only with the Beatles, but along all his solo carrer. he never sounded so hautingly beautiful as he sounds here. Congratulations with your amazing reaction. You're great!

[@eclecticdog2k901]

I definitely think getting your reaction to this album helped me appreciate it more! I think it’s great but I’ve never felt it quite lived up to the hype. It was fun to hear you enjoy it so much! I’m particularly glad you enjoyed Lovely Rita, When I’m Sixty-Four, With a Little Help From My Friends, and Fixing a Hole so much, and vindicated you didn’t initially enjoy Lucy in the Sky as much as the songs surrounding it 😂 as I had the same response. I think my top songs from Sgt Pepper’s are definitely Lovely Rita, A Day in the Life, the combination of the title track & With a Little Help From My Friends, and When I’m Sixty-Four.

[@LyricReactsYT]

With a little help from my friends was my most played song of 2023!

[@DreamWolfPics]

@LyricReacts, thanks for your enthusiasm! I'm glad you liked the album. Isn't "She's Leaving Home" a beauty? Also, I understand your confusion with "A Day in the Life." The parts when the orchestra sounds like it's going to blow up can be kind of unsettling upon first listen. I've been listening to The Beatles for years, and I still don't know what it means. It can make you feel kind of afraid there for a second until everything is lovely once again. That's just the way they made it.

[@jadebel7006]

That's how life is..sad, frightening, joyful ..repeat until the end lol

[@narlycat]

the last line that sounds like "never goosy any other way" was like an alarm The Beatles put into the final groove of the record in case you fell asleep listening to the album that line would repeat until you woke up and changed the record or the power went out. It also had a dog whistle in the final groove in case you couldn't wake up the dog would. The boys learned from their producer that dogs can hear octaves higher than what a human can hear so they thought it was cool so they put that onto the final groove. Back in the 1960s record players didn't have automatic shut off so if you didn't get up and take the needle off of the record the needle would get stuck in the final groove indefinitely. Now I grew up in the 1970s and by then we had automatic record changers which picked up the needle automatically after the record was over and so I didn't learn about the "never goosy any other way" line until years later. In fact not until I had the CD version of the album which recreated the final groove trick the band played on all their fans. Ha ha.

[@jadebel7006]

Never could see any other way* hahahaha

[@mysterymac38]

I don't like that they decided it needed to be on the CD . All it did was confuse people who didn't know what it was, And Christ on a Bike! The fade out was a dumb idea. Its not a fookin' song!

[@MsAppassionata]

The lyrics for Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite were taken almost entirely from a poster that Lennon spotted. The same was true of A Day In The Life with Lennon reading the newspaper. They were great at taking the most mundane things and structuring songs around them.

[@costerluver]

Out of all the amazing Beatles lyrics out there I don’t think there will ever be a more relatable lyric than “I read the news today…oh boy”

[@jadebel7006]

That's because the news is all lies and political propaganda made to make us depressed n all turn on eachother while the powerful ppl laugh and make money off of it..which is exactly what 'think for yourself' is about

[@andreasborn5924]

Hello my dear Lyric. I'm just glad you didn't fall off your chair backwards out of sheer excitement with this masterpiece, and especially when Ringo sings... lol. The question that can legitimately be asked, is there anything else the Beatles can top Revolvers with? More than half a year of recording time speaks for itself and with A Day In The Life contains probably the best song ever. Released at just the right time when the world was in turmoil, in a peaceful way, Sgt. Pepper fits right into the fabric of the Flower Power era. George Martin's work is also extremely remarkable here, alone the work on For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite, which chooses this circus atmosphere with psychedelic sound from thousands of tape snippets. A masterpiece for me! Likewise She's Leaving Home: Perfect arrangement in sound and singing and harmonies. However, Lucy In The sky is based on a drawing by John's son Julian, with Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Only it was portrayed as LSD by the press and banned by the BBC! I'm curious to hear your reaction to Magical Mystery Tour, which was released in November 1967....

[@MrKeychange]

This really is a masterpiece. All these years later, I really believe this might be the best album ever made.

[@unclephil7650]

As far as Lucy in the Sky with diamonds goes. It's true he got the title from his son but the lyrics are definitely describing an acid trip.

[@harrydoupe9315]

Great job. Quick note just for context, the little bit after A Day In The Life wasn't a part of how the album was laid out. It was a hidden track that unless you left your LP on the turntable until about five minutes after the song ended, you would never hear it. It wasn't listed in the tracks and 99% of Beatle fans never heard it when they played the record. Also a head's up, it happens more in later albums. So little weird things that were placed way after the record was over weren't meant to be heard in conjunction with the track listing. So the actual album ends with A Day in the Life, don't try to think of any deeper meaning of what happens after that.

[@MaceGill]

That last bit ... The gibberish. It was an unlisted 'eater egg' that only makes sense on a physical album on a cheap record player. When a vinyl record came to the end, you had to physically lift the needle. But if you weren't fast enough, the needle would settle into a 'runout groove'. It was just a place of rest for the needle so it wouldn't run over the paper label. The Beatles, instead of leaving the runout groove silent, filled it with that sound. And that sound would keep physically looping. Playing continuously until you lifted the needle.

[@nicklenz7030]

The chatter at the end is a part of its own and does not really belong to A Day in the Life. It was pressed into the last bit of the record groove to make it last ad infinitum on record players without auto-stop at the end.

[@larshenrikfabrin7640]

Yeah, the inner groove - typically for the Beatles, they always left surprises for you.

[@shadshowadradna]

I love your appreciation for She's Leaving Home and Within You Without You. A lot of people really don't recognize just how good both of those are. McCartney based She's Leaving Home on a newspaper story but, weirdly, although he didn't know it, he'd actually met the girl in question in 1963. I don't think anyone could really say exactly what A Day In The Life is about (because it isn't specifically about anything), but you could say it relates to levels of consciousness: dreaming and daydreaming as you experience the real world. The chorus for Good Morning Good Morning was inspired by a cornflakes TV ad, and arguably that song is doing a similar thing, describing the mundanity of life alongside the unreality of TV ads and the wishful thinking of sexual attraction. Lovely Rita is probably a little less wholesome than you're thinking, as the weird ending is surely a jokey representation of the narrator achieving an orgasm - presumably alone, given that he only nearly "made it" with Rita. The real concept of the album (the way McCartney sold it to Lennon) was that the band should forget that they were The Beatles and forget all the baggage and limitations that went with that; they should basically make whatever music they wanted to make, however "out there" it was, and however impossible it would be to perform it live, since they weren't going to tour the album. The framing of the album as a performance by this alter ego band is only a loose nod to the concept, although turning the album into a fantasy concert could be seen as a demonstration of how touring had been limiting their music up to this point.

[@papercup2517]

Fantastic comments. Your observations on A Day In the Life, Good Morning, Good Morning, Lovely Rita and the overall concept behind the album are all spot on. *"I don't think anyone could really say exactly what A Day In The Life is about (because it isn't specifically about anything), but you could say it relates to levels of consciousness: dreaming and daydreaming as you experience the real world."* That's probably the best attempt I've seen, and better than anything I've ever managed, at explaining or at least framing the lyrical content of this masterpiece. Thank you!

[@MrYossarianuk]

After you go through the Beatles catalogue perhaps consider checking 'The Rolling Stones', they are still going to this day (61 years) and have a new album of original material next month.

[@MrKeychange]

This is definitely their most consistent album. A Day in The Life is basically about a guy taking in the world around him. My favorite lyrics are "he blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed". It referring to someone who committed suicide and in his despair hadn't noticed things were actually getting better. 🤯 Don't forget to hit their singles! Somehow, these album all don't include the songs they made for radio play.

[@Octavian7771]

Love your reactions! The Beatles 'psychedelic'' phase saw 'Revolver', 'Sgt. Peppers' and 'Magical Mystery Tour'. Of those, I prefer MMT, so I am looking forward to your reaction to MMT.

Three years after their Earth-altering Ed Sullivan appearance, the Fabs released Sgt. Pepper. And the world was shaken once again. Sure it's not flawless.....I always thought Mr. Kite was a better PRODUCTION than actual song. And Fixing a Hole isn't bad......but it's also not great. But everything else......the scorching title track into Ringo's With a Little Help From My Friends.....the rooty-tooty When I'm 64.....the soap opera of She's Leaving Home.....the crunchy Good Morning, Good Morning......just a great listen. Oh and yeah, that closing cut......an honest-to-goodness Lennon-McCartney composition......is still pretty nifty. Great video! Beatles music has no expiration date.

[@LucretiusNigro]

And it's impressive to think that the first two songs written for this extraordinary album were 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane', which the Beatles instead had to release as 45s before the album due to the producers' insistence. They were written and inspired by the album, had to be part of it, and if you think of Sgt Pepper with also these two songs it becomes an unattainable work.

[@RinoRickson-wx6e3]

Awesome video my man! Next you gotta react to Magical Mystery Tour the Album! It continues the Psychedelic sound and has some classics on it! Unfortunately not as popular as sgt pepper especially outside The US, but a VERY Underrated Album in my opinion!

[@PabloDiaz5DMusic]

The Beatles has so many masterpieces that at least for me to decide what it’s their best album is hard. Revolver perhaps for me is not their best album but it is my favorite because it was the album that opened the way for them to do different things. Sgt Pepper is one of the most important albums in music history but in my opinion it is not the peak of The Beatles. I think Abbey Road is really their peak. You're doing a great job on reviewing the Beatles discography.

A good detail you noticed is how many songs were written by McCartney on this album. About 3 months after this album came out their manager Brian Epstein died which really was the beginning of the end for the band. With Brian dead they had no one to lead them so Paul kind of took that role and became the sort of driving force behind the band. This album and their next album Magical Mystery tour was all Paul's idea. Also as a side note John, George, and Ringo have gone on record saying that this is her least favorite Beatles record (probably because it was mainly Paul's idea) 😁

The Good Morning Good Morning guitar solo is by McCartney 😉 She’s Leaving Home is my absolute favourite Beatles song. It’s just beautiful. A Day in the Life was a collaboration between Lennon and McCartney. Lennon wrote the majority of the lyrics but McCartney was largely responsible for the overall production of the song including the cinematic orchestral bits and the lengthy piano chord fade-out. You mentioned yourself that this was essentially a McCartney-led album. The whole concept of as his, he wrote the majority of the songs and (as said) helped to produce it. The next album you’re gonna listen to also came from an idea by McCartney and was the soundtrack to the critically panned TV film of the same name.

I like young people listening to great music, but this constant stopping is not the way to enjoy it.

[@qwineth]

John Lennon just happened...

[@UESide]

Abbey Road is their best

I know you're a reaction channel, but I think its a bit annoying when you keep pausing the songs all the time, instead of giving your insight at the end. You don't even listen to the song properly the way you keep pausing constantly. Though I do like that you make the video in 0.5 speed so you can post the video without any cuts.

The 30 second piece of gibberish at the end was never on the original album. This is something they stuck on there in the last 10 years or so. I would just ignore that part because it has nothing to do with the song or the album. Excellent reaction by the way.

[@joebloggs396]

You're totally wrong. It was on the original UK release, it was a loop on the inner groove. It was a hidden track, just like the end of Abbey Road was. If anything it added to the mystique, while adding a surprise/'wake up' after the fadeout.

@@joebloggs396 it was not on the American copy that I had.

[@psychedelicpiper999]

@@unclephil7650It was only in the UK release.

[@unclephil7650]

@@psychedelicpiper999 I thought so. I hated how they used to release two different versions. Of course , at that time we did not know they were releasing two versions.

Unfortunately, the albums go downhill from here until their final album Abbey Road.

Better than Revolver?! Pah!

[@lukerose384]

Revolver isn't even in the top 3 lol

[@PFNel]

@@lukerose384 Try again. I googled "Best Beatles Album" and these are the rankings of Revolver that came up first (not cherry picked by me; this is exactly how they came up): Rolling Stone: first; The Independent: first; Ultimate Classic Rock: first; Far Out Magazine: second; Live 365: fourth; Pipe Dream: second; Best Ever Albums: second; Study Finds: first; The Mary Sue: first. If you go on and poll a hundred authoritative sources, I have no doubt that Revolver would get more votes than any other Beatles album. This is one instance where the crowds are right. If you want to argue against Revolver, you'd better come armed with Abbey Road or you'll be shouted down. But don't worry; i have controversial opinions as well. For me, "A Day in the Life" isn't even in the top ten of their songs and Sergeant Pepper definitely isn't in their top three albums. I guess it's my turn to be shouted down!

[@tricko8000]

Yeah Revolver is my absolute top 1 Beatles album. My top 3 is: 1. Revolver 2. Rubber Soul 3. White Album

[@joebloggs396]

The fashion generally changed to Revolver by the mid 90s because of the guitar groups then. However it's just fashion and Sgt Pepper can be seen by many as more inventive. Eleanor Rigby, arguably the strongest song on Revolver, could easily have fitted on Sgt Pepper

[@PFNel]

@@joebloggs396 You make a good point. The consensus choice for the best Beatles album definitely changed from Pepper to Revolver, although Carr and Tyler, in their excellent The Beatles: An Illustrated Record, already held that opinion in 1981 (and probably even earlier, in the first edition of the book). Pepper would have had a strong case if "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" had stayed on the album, as originally intended, but of course they were taken off. I think a great deal turns on what one thinks of "A Day in the Life". 99% of fans and critics think it's the best Beatles song, but I think it's overrated. It's good, all right, even great, but it's really just another assembly of spare parts, the sort of thing they did with legendary success on side two of Abbey Road.

The most annoying thing ever
