The 12 Days Of Beatles!: Revolver- "She Said She Said" (Reaction)

[@mattreynolds612]

Fav song from fav Beatles album ❤️🩵

[@retroreactions....]

Awesome!

[@waynemoon5359]

Another John Lennon Masterpiece.

[@elizabethbrown6384]

John's talent and outlook were so unique. This is a terrific piece.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

This has always been one of my favourite Beatles deep cuts. It exemplifies John's immense originality and the way that his huge personality comes across in so many of his greatest recordings. He had an extraordinary gift for keeping the essence of rock & roll intact while at the same time creating a more sophisticated development of it. (Rain is another great example.)

[@mattreynolds612]

The lyrics in this jam just tear me apart 💔 "Things that make me feel like I'm mad!! & Your making feel like I've never been born" "When I was a boy, everything was right". "She said, you don't understand what I've said"....... 🎶🎶🎵🎶🔥✌️☮️🕊️❤️🩵 IMHO it's about a girl breaking his 💔

[@retroreactions....]

Yes, touching and tragic lyrics...

[@SteveMenardDesignDXM]

I think Rubber Soul and Revolver are John Lennon's two strongest albums. Memorable cuts such as "Norwegian Wood", "In My Life", "I'm Only Sleeping", She Said, She Said", "And Your Bird Can Sing", "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "Rain" (single from same recording period) are among his best.

This song to me, is the pinnacle of Ringo's drumming, especially with the time-signature changes. Just fantastic. Love the jangly guitar, too. Very ahead of its time.

[@dougsusie2319]

For me it's Ringo's drumming on "Rain".

[@YoAnge1221]

Perhaps my fave Beatles song ❤

[@Basil_Funkenstein]

My top 5 favourite songs from the Revolver Era are: 1. Tomorrow Never Knows 2. She Said She Said 3. Rain 4. Paperback Writer 5. Got To Get You Into My Life

[@mattleppard1970]

Yet another favourite of mine - this album is packed with them 😊

[@nonsuch]

Great song. Revolver as a whole has always been my favorite Beatles album.

😁 Happy New Year dearest Renee❣❣ 🥳🎆

[@reneelyons6836]

Happy New Year Brandon!! It's gonna be a good one!! 💙🥳🎉

[@markdrechsler5660]

Trippy. Almost seems like multiple songs flowing into and through each other. Happy New Year!

[@retroreactions....]

Happy New Year!

[@IvorPresents]

"No no no, you're wrong.." particular John lyric, to show up again years later in, Strawberry Fields.

[@davidrauh8118]

Strange but true. Paul walked out on this song because he didn't like it. So all the vocals are done by John and George. George also plays bass as well as guitar.

[@You-Deef]

You definitely deserve more views and subs, best music reactions right here, not annoying or pretentious, just genuine love for quality music. Happy new year, Mr Chill 😊❤

[@retroreactions....]

Thank you for those kind compliments. Means a lot to hear that 😊 A very blessed and Happy New Year to you and yours! 🤍

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Forgot about this one. Almost an acid rock feel- since the song is about a conversation while on LSD, appropriate. RIP George Harrison and John Lennon Happy New Year to all

[@retroreactions....]

Happy New Year Michael!!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Some great contextual drumming here by our man Ritchie. Always the right drumming for the song. Solid as a rock.

[@retroreactions....]

Very true! Happy New Year to you and yours my friend!! 🤍

[@sourisvoleur4854]

@@retroreactions.... And you. Looking forward to your reactions in the coming year.

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

History of a song comes way after I hear & enjoy a song. “When I was a boy, everything was right” is what got my attention. Just old enough to appreciate my family & how enjoyable childhood is.

[@haze61151]

I've sat here for a couple of hours listening to your analysis of Abby Road and Revolver. Very impressive to the point. All positive and I could tell you were genuine.

[@retroreactions....]

Hello Randy! Wow, thank you so much for that great compliment. I do try hard daily to soak the music in and have a full first time experience, as much as allows. Appreciate all the time you've given watching my reactions 😊

[@myeckwaters]

Whenever I listen to this on LSD I think that Peter Fonda was some sort of genius.

[@jornspirit]

...happy new year (me says, me says), dear Brandon... tomorrow we'll all feel as if we never had lived before, and death is anyway just an illusion... as you can tell, I LOVE THIS SONG!!! 💖

[@mattleppard1970]

Death is an illusion - but a stubbornly persistent one

[@retroreactions....]

Happy New Year Jörn!! Thanks for being first on this one 😁 🥇

[@WilliamThompson-b1j]

This song could have been released in the 90s and it would have been a hit

[@drmagic60]

Another great song…I’ve been really enjoying your Revolver journey! 😊

[@retroreactions....]

🤍

[@theG-man-p2h]

Happy New Year Brandon, and keep these great reactions flowing!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@retroreactions....]

I plan to! Best wishes in the coming year!

[@edgarsnake2857]

Love this song...and your reaction.

[@retroreactions....]

Thank you so much!

[@charlesbishop4000]

Listen to that damn drumming!

[@JohnLRice]

Nice song, yeah, sort of one foot in earliest Beatles and one foot in early psychedelic sound? It also sounds a bit like early The Who off their first album from about the same year, in particular the section where the lyrics are "cuz you're makin' me feel like I've never been born"?

[@Tom-hk6ub]

Yes I think it's a hybrid of The Who and The Byrds ....

[@JohnLRice]

@@Tom-hk6ub 👌😎

[@littlestevey4172]

Always loved this song. For some reason, Paul was not in the studio when they recorded this. Either he didn't like it, or he just couldn't make it. George Harrison is on backing vocals. Happy New Year Brandon!!! 🎉🎉

[@retroreactions....]

Happy New Year (officially now for you) !!

[@ewest14]

False. It’s been discovered Paul had to have been on bass because of the way it was recorded. Also Paul is heard on studio outtakes for the song

[@littlestevey4172]

@ewest14 Wrong. I Have no idea where you got your your info from, but from multiple sources he did not play on the song. I'm sure you won't believe me or anyone, but you're wrong. There are multiple sources in books as well, but I won't argue with you. "Paul McCartney was not present during the recording of the Beatles' song "She Said She Said" due to an argument over the song's musical arrangement. This makes "She Said She Said" one of the few Beatles songs that doesn't feature McCartney."

[@dougsusie2319]

George played bass on this track as well as guitar. It was late in the day and Paul got upset because the track was taking to long and stormed out. John wasn't known for being paitent and told George and Ringo screw him and George took the bass part and killed it. Give his bass lines a closer listen, it's great.

[@retroreactions....]

Awesome info thanks!

[@ewest14]

False. It’s been discovered Paul had to have been on bass because of the way it was recorded. George was on guitar for the backing track, so Paul had to have been playing bass. If not Paul, then they got a 4th person to play bass that wasn’t Paul. Also Paul is heard on studio outtakes for the song

[@aliciazambri4237]

Happy New Year!

[@retroreactions....]

Happy New Year Alicia!! 🤍

[@fineasfogg1461]

There's so much good stuff about this song. It's hard to hear the lyrics and the great sounds of the band on one take.

[@jerrypost9651]

I love your thoughtful reactions. It's clear that "she" is Peter Fonda. I hadn't heard that Fonda was referencing a childhood experience. I always assumed he just got a glimpse of death at that party after dropping LSD.

[@retroreactions....]

Thank you Jerry! Yea, according to Wikipedia, Peter, as a child, technically died during an operation.. Happy New Year to you and yours!!

[@williamballmaier2355]

I could do this on my own..

[@falcon215]

Great song.. I think one they easily could have played live

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

Hi there 👋 the funny thing about it is this wasn't even a single. The great hits of this record were YELLOW SUBMARINE and GOt to GET YOU INTO MY LIFE, TAXMAN, and ELEANOR RUGBY 😊

[@bigjapi1]

Feliz 2🌎25 sir Brandon!! 🎵🎶🎸🎹🎺

[@retroreactions....]

Happy New Year dear Jorge!! Thanks so much for being here since the early days and for gracing me with your musical friendship, sense of humor and deep musical knowledge! 🤍

[@gaizkasalazarrodriguez5054]

Follow 2025 with ALL BEATLES albums!!!!

[@fozziebear5624]

In 1976, the Lone Star band released their first album titled "Lone Star". They included a cover of the song "She Said, She Said" by The Beatles. And this cover is one of the better ones than the original. The Lone Star cover is much, much better, and above all played completely differently, brilliantly. I definitely recommend it, also the entire Lone Star album.

[@garfle1959]

Not early Beatles. It's mid Beatles less than 1 year to SGT. Pepper.

[@mooghead]

Listen to the drums. Who says Ringo is crap?!
