You kept mentioning an orchestra. There is no orchestra on this track. It's just the 4 of them. The basic track plus some overdubs of Paul on backing vocals and piano and a revised vocal track from John and that's about it. :)

[@johnnybmean74]

You got way too much attitude for so little talent.

[@Beevaldi]

This song is a Masterpiece

[@Bill_Jones.]

Devin, you’re a great host for your channel. One thing I tend to do is laugh when I hear reaction channel hosts say that they want suggestions for more Beatles songs to react to. The Beatles were so extremely diverse in their music that I’m tempted to say “pick any album and any song off that album and you’re in for a great listening experience.” The Beatles were and are the greatest band in the history of recorded music. Their music will live on forever.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Ah yes, The Beatles and John on lead vocal...it doesn't get much better ! :)

[@franktripodi8586]

Much better? There is no better..

The phenomenal Beatles. Unmatched. Still talked about over 50 years since they broke up. There is a reason why you know

[@binxbolling]

Top selling musicians of all time.

[@debbie541]

the beatles have so many songs and their music covers so many DIFFERENT GENRES it's unbelievable

[@mikewarker4445]

Always remember, at the top of the pyramid of all time music greats is The BEATLES. They changed the WORLD

[@pulamusic]

Lennon often wrote lyrics that were a bit abstract but very evocative. He was a big fan of William Burroughs and other similar avant garde writers.

[@lauderdalerobite3549]

The last three you heard were from their late albums, which were one of their greatest works. You should listen to their earlier music that really started it all. "I feel Fine", "I saw her standing there", and "all my loving" are some of their nice music to get you acquainted with their youngest sounds!

[@BCISTUDIOS]

That vocal sound of "SHO", is John saying, " Shoot ME!"

[@stevevasell429]

That sound is john whispering " shoot me ".

[@thebyrd433]

This song is full of 'non sequiturs,' or things that don't flow logically or follow each other. It was pretty revolutionary, because at the time, music was supposed to be lyrical and songs had to make sense. The idea that someone could put together a mish-mash of words and yet make it 'come together' anyway was crazy. Naturally, that mean The Beatles had to blaze that trail. Of course, there have been nonsense songs before this, but nothing this bold and effective, or that became as popular, as 'Come Together.'

[@dannygriffith6185]

They actually started the "non sequitur" lyrics with "I Am The Walrus".....2 years earlier. John wrote the lyrics to this partially to poke fun at how serious some people & music journalists at the time took their lyrics. John pretty much had a wink & a nod and said..."see what they make of this!".....Of course we got another great piece of psychedelia from them!

[@thebyrd433]

@@dannygriffith6185 You are absolutely correct!!! I have my timeline all mixed up! Thanks for setting me straight.

You are so spot on . It takes a skillful hand to make Nonsense sound good. Cheers.

[@thebyrd433]

@@jamesb.9472 I cannot help but agree.

[@michellemcclain2]

Didn't they write all their songs through the music first and then write lyrics? That's a unique way to write music and I feel like they had a gift writing poetic nonsense imagery to amazing music.

[@t.r.1708]

Just a great groove with some interesting sounds! The words are just there to carry the voice! They’re superfluous! John liked to play with words! “Hey bulldog” is a cool tune!

[@TheDivayenta]

Listen to those great drum folks by Ringo!

The reference to a "toe jam football" is what you get when you run your finger between your sweaty toes and collect that little bundle of grungy stuff.

[@evanorsomething909]

You Should Listen to “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” or “Something” Next. Those are off the Same Album. Also if you’re not already, I would recommend listening to the new Remixes because the 2009 remasters were made digitally, but the new Remixes were made from the original master tapes. And they sound 100x better.

[@johnchristensen5120]

Back then, Paul was rumored to have died. A lot of songs had “clues “ in them. A DJ had put together a whole show about them. I’m going to see if I can find it.

[@jimdev81]

You picked a great group to dissect, there are literally scores of great tunes to listen to, in every genre and style of music, written smartly and with wit. Shock yourself by checking out Helter Skelter, amuse yourself with I Am The Walrus, or try the brilliance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps; Paul, John, and George are the writers of those songs, in that order. Enjoy!

[@rbking9296]

A Day In The Life is another great one as is any Beatles song you can do, if you are going down the Beatles rabbit hole be ready for the long haul as their catalog is probably the longest and best catalog of music there is, it’s totally a Magical Mystery Tour

[@patticrichton1135]

200 + songs

[@pestbsn]

For context, you should watch the Beatles Documentary with their rooftop performance. Just the 4 of them with Billy Preston on piano. Normally, they'd overdub the piano - probably Paul - but this was live and Billy Preston - who was a huge fan and friend - stopped by and happily took over piano and organ.

[@debbieplato5107]

Aw, you took me right back to high school with this one. I grew up with the Beatles and I have no clue what the lyrics mean either. LOL

[@self4autism333]

I love hearing peoples interpretations of the lyrics, its why we can post comments.

[@lingoman1]

Go back in time a little further and listen to The Beatles "Eight Days a Week". Then check out "All You Need is Love" live recording.

[@p.j.morris633]

Great reaction!!!! Devin love watching you react you really get into it i am not a Beatles fan.. but i like a few of their songs.

You should react to Helter Skelter by the beatles. It’s basically the first Heavy Metal song.

[@patticrichton1135]

sung by Paul and written by Paul

[@Gerard-yt3dz]

Yeah man! This tune is STILL sooo koooolll!

[@robsutherland5744]

What a fun entertaining reaction. Thanks for doing this.

[@pokoysautube]

That was john lennon saying shooooozz

[@self4autism333]

What is that, that was the guitar overdub, the flat third and the 5th above the usual chord. Usually the bass is playing the minor third as the last note of that riff, so the guitar leaves it out. It gets volume in and out to sound like violin strings, maybe with vol on guitar or maybe the desk. It also gets faded left right to add freakyness. I also suspect but could be wrong that this overdub gets played in reverse. It sounds so weird and beautiful at the same time. This new mix in 2019 is the best. The drums go to 12.00 o clock for the keyboard comp then back to the pan. Also it is sent to Tidal in hi res and this makes a huge diff to capture the sound of studio 2 with the drums and reverb of the drums. That sound in hi res and qual hphones is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Come together is just another way of saying love.

[@beatlebrian4404]

Lots of people think Billy Preston plays keyboard on come together, no he's not on it.

[@Stacy55ish]

The Beatles didn't shy away from surreal lyrics and prose.

[@genebaughbba]

[@saphirzafiro7777]

this is the greatest rock and pop band ever, and John was THE greatest, grooviest ROCKER ever

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

John could really create songs. He did one that was to make no sense in the words to go against a teachers talk about what he wrote so he did I Am the Walrus. I love that one and you may get a kick out of it )

[@russelldye3751]

Listen to that bass!!!

[@phillipfitton8364]

John was recovering from the car accident. He’s in pain when he recorded this song. The sound you talking about John in the microphone ,softly whispering “shoot me”….

[@user-jk7ui6zl4g]

No! John is screaming, "Shoot me!" Listen carefully!

[@davidbradley3254]

Great channel mate

[@hungfao]

You should check out the books John wrote in the early 60s. It perfectly conveys the absurd yet frequently hilarious way that he writes. Also, his musical masterpieces like 'I Am The Walrus' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever' are fine examples as well. Dreamy and odd.

[@borarem]

John is singing shoot me. The me part is drowned out by the bass.

[@lauriesandt5371]

He's sayin "shoot me"

[@skrozar2000]

Hear John saying "SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME" that's what you are asking abouit.

[@marvinc9994]

FYI: _non sequitur_ is just a simple piece of Latin, meaning (literally) "it doesn't follow". Crass example: "I love Blues, so I hate Rock" Better example: "Got to be good-looking, 'cos he's so hard to see" (a Lennonesque _non sequitur_ , at any rate ;-) ) As for the 'meaning' behind the lyrics - there ain't any: it's just PURE English Nonsense (think Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Spike Milligan etc - the sort of thing we have always LOVED here in England !). Much Love from Across the Pond, my Friend !

[@lisajames3359]

Great reaction, John Lennon just loved messing around with lyrics. Please listen to I am The Walrus.

[@philipcone357]

John brought this song in and when he played it for Paul, Paul realized it was a rewrite of Chuck Berry’s “ You Can’t Catch Me”. It was much quicker. So Paul and Ringo played around with the tempo. Slowed the song way down and tried to give it a swamp rock vibe.

[@patticrichton1135]

It wasn' t a total rewrite of Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me." It was just John's first line "Here come OLD flat top, HE COME GROOVIN' UP SLOWLY .." WHERE In Chuck Berry's song, it was "Here come A flat top, he "WAS MOVING UP WITH ME." "OLD" flat top in Lennon's song, and "A" flat top in Berry's song. But the last part of those lyrics were different.

[@ZZ24AS]

First verse was " Shoot me," witch sadly happend...

[@nelsonx5326]

Great song.

[@Muckylittleme]

Never been sure about the lyric "Come together, over me"

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Ayn Rand, a hero to many Christian Republicans, was an atheist who wrote the excellent Virtue of Selfishness. Not believing in god doesn’t make one selfish. There are many selfish people who claim to believe in god, including many wealthy pastors.

I've never heard this was written for Timothy Leary. A great song by the Beatles and sun by John Lennon. Ringo's drumming is great.

[@dantofthegenxfamily9529]

Beatles are the Best 1. They came different on each song. 2. They introduced Melody to Straight Forward Rock 3 John Lennon utilized the 3 finger Ukulele chord to Rock. This is probably the dirtiest sounding chord , so raw, even Jimi Hendrix added this chord. 4.They avoided the latter up and coming bands subscription to same ole same ole R and B trend, thank god,, Because when they came around to writing a few later, they showed all the Zep, fans, Clapton fans and of course the Stone how to create a blues song that didn't use the standard Blues structure, never mind the fact they used the taboo B7 in a Blues Song., oh Lord. Tack on the1st Rock band to bend notes a half step up / down, seriously the innovations outnumber their hits.

There was a Beatles’ hoax about Paul being killed in car accident. This song played well in the hoax. Come together over me, seems to be referring to a funeral. 1 and 1and 1 are 3, only three Beatles left. Must be good looking because so hard to see, people get buried in there best clothes. He’s got feet down below his knees, and so on. It’s an interesting rabbit hole. Even the album cover has Paul barefoot, John dress like a preacher, George dressed as a digger and Ringo dressed in black as a mourner.

This is the song that helped set off the HUGE rumor that Paul was DEAD! "Come Together" was supposed to mean "coming together over Paul's body, as in a funeral" along with the lyrics to the song (like "One & One & one is Three" meaning only 3 members left)...The band members walking across Abby Road with Paul barefooted was also supposed to be a big hint to Paul's death! 😱
