23:27 The Beatles didn’t have control of the tracklisting of this album because Magical Mystery was made as a Movie Soundtrack Double EP. In America EP’s usually don’t sell well so Capitol Records just takes the EP and put some 1967 singles in it. It became a very huge hit, and that’s basically the reason why it’s in the official Beatles canon despite The Beatles not having control in that album.

There's lots of great stuff on ATMP, but you'd hopefully expect so on a triple album...there's also a fair share of 'whatever'. For all his moping about only getting one song per album, you can turn around and say 'Only a Northern Song' isn't exactly a great argument for more than one Harrison song. He had 3 decades after the Beatles to put out as much music as he wanted without anyone vetoing anything he wanted to record, he did put out some decent stuff, but come on...I like George, but holy crap, he could be one miserable whiny ungrateful little so and so.

Blue Jay Way was written when George flew into California for a vacation. He was jet lagged, exhausted, and his friends were late. Also, the hippy scene in CA was NOT what he expected, nor to his taste. "Don't be long"? or is he also saying "Don't belong" as in, these hippies don't belong to the same love movement we do. After this he was souring on LSD and looking more toward spirituality.

@@strikerbowls791 for George specifically? Yeah, number of sky daddy songs. Not too many drug songs from him except maybe "Savoy Truffle". He had a few 'screw the man' songs like "Taxman" and "Piggies" and a number of 'fuck the hell off' songs like "Don't Bother Me", "Think for Yourself", "I, Me, Mine" and "It's Only a Northern Song" (a dis track about their music publisher and possibly his band mates).

For me, Strawberry Fields Forever is the best Beatles song and my favorite song of all time. There is just nothing that is as dreamy, innovative, deep as this song for me. John wrote this song about his troubles from childhood, which I can really relate to. He talks about how he is different from everyone, either genius or crazy (“no one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low”). He reflects on how he wished he could go to a place called Strawberry Fields whenever he felt abandonment, which is actually a real place in Liverpool, a Salvation Army children’s home, where he would play in the gardens. Paul basically did the same thing with Penny Lane, but in a more nostalgic and happy way.

[@don1165]

"All you need is Love": - John wrote this for the first world-wide hook-up via satellite (in space!) (new at the time!) England was represented by their big Band - The Beatles! So John wrote this (simple) song for the Whole World.

Yooo, we're here! I thought it was so funny when you were listening to the white album and when they say "the walrus was paul" in glass onion you were like "what?"

[@morpher44]

The walrus is the villain of the story. John realized that Paul is a villain -- not what he seems. I think Paul has really good P.R., but in terms of human character, he slept with lots of women, he damaged himself with drugs and alcohol, etc. John did as well but John is impressive because he really worked on cleaning himself after being addicted to H and Yoko suffering a miscarriage. John was realizing that he really wanted to be a Dad and do it right and personally raised Sean in Sean's 1st five years of life. Sean is now a kick ass guitarist. Paul has a big family. John did not and had to do this transition of self only with Yoko's help.

I feel like you have to be in a specific kind of mood to appreciate Bluejay way fully. I get it, it's not for everybody, but it's such a vibe. There's something about it that feels really purposefully detached and dreamy and sort of encapsulates that feeling when you lose the give-a-fucks to fight back against whatever is pushing back on you. That's what it always feels like for me anyway... it's like a very specific kind of vibe.

Just imagine if Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were on Sgt. Pepper's. Shit would be insane. They were released as a single before Sgt. Pepper's, but for whatever reason they just wouldn't put the singles on the albums. That's why we've got Past Masters

[@rb9628]

The reason they released Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane is because it was nearly a year between Revolver and Sgt. Peppers so they thought it would be a good idea to give the fans something. But I agree they should have been on Sgt Peppers.

[@bourbon2242]

It’s because they had a policy of not putting singles on albums. If they had put _Strawberry Fields Forever_ or _Penny Lane_ on _Sgt. Peppers,_ this would have gone against their policy. They were able to put them on _Magical Mystery Tour_ because it was technically the soundtrack to their film of the same name.

[@ml5955]

Moreover, their producer, George Martin, said it was one of his biggest mistake that he did not add those two track to pepper. In retrospect, I’m ok with how it turned out because Magical Mystery Tour was elevated with those two songs. But yes, Pepper would have been more unbelievable with them included.

[@Nerkin610]

Indeed, they gave away “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane” for early release since it had been too long since a Beatles release and Epstein was concerned by the rumours of the band breaking up. The reason why single material generally weren’t put on albums is that they felt that was conning the audience by effectively having them buy the same songs twice.

Darius! Love your channel - I’ll love the Beatles forever. Maybe that’s why I need to point out that this work was done in an era where music wasn’t overly influenced by our need to rate everybody hierarchically as if it’s a competition (American idol, the voice, etc) The Beatles were truly a band and Lennon and McCartney were competitive, but so close that they were ‘living in each other’s pockets’ - they both lost their mothers in their teens, and were bonded. They didn’t ’finish each others sentences’ like married couple do, but they did help finish each other’s lyrics- thru to the end. And even when they were written separately, they ran lyrics by the other one- So there was no GOAT. And that’s a beautiful thing.

[@annerenaud3828]

Love you Darius. Happy you always come back to the Beatles. So many if not all of the following bands were influenced by them. I forgot to say before: when I was a kid, I also had trouble distinguishing John’s voice with George’s. I also fell in love with John’s haunting voice. Paul however deserves his status as one of the most loved men on earth: self-taught musician, hard-worker, prolific songwriter ( with the most memorable and beautiful songs IMHO); down to earth family man, great dad, animal lover, and he’s over 80 ans still touring even if he lost so many loved ones ( John, Linda, George, etc) . Maybe you should dig into a Paul’s solo career. Not everything he did was great but when he did, it was amazing all without his best pal.

[@stevebeye1585]

I am so impressed with your journey . I love your passion for 60’s 70’s Epic music .. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨😊

When trying to rate the beatles albums, one must, above all, remember when the album was made because the beatles were an evolution in music that just kept developing as time went on. Sounds like you as me really love their last works best, but the journey they made was historical!😊

[@hopebgood]

Oh, I love all those well known tracks on this album but I really love "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and "Blue Jay Way" too.

[@ZaTheLean]

Dude I love ur reactions! Ur so charismatic and it adds to the video! I have discovered ur videos awhile ago and u popped up again after awhile and I just had to sub. Wayy too good

George's biggest problem(s) (well-documented) was that the 2-Headed Beast, J&P, mostly ignored him, didn't put much time or energy into helping him polish, produce, complete, build & make his songs into "Beatle Songs." Often, they weren't even in the studio with him & just wanted to give him his 1 or 2 tracks, get them done, give Ringo a quick nod, then get back to The Lennon/McCartney Show. George was bitter about it his whole life & it was a major reason he mentally & spiritually "left the band" long before the actual split.

I definitely seen that in the Get Back film. George had to defend his beautiful songs but John could put in throw away tunes wherever and whenever like Maggie May. Isn't it a pity, indeed.

Correct

[@Ratlove101]

This song is a head trip...literally. I love this trip!!

[@jiffin1]

Everything through "I Am The Walrus" was a soundtrack to a British TV movie ... All three singing "roll up" and it means get in line for the bus ...

When you upload, and food is ready to eat... nothing better!

[@Yuuk12v]

My favorite Beatles album!! every song on this is 10/10

[@jyjjy7]

You were OBVIOUSLY not on enough drugs for this reaction, going into Magical Mystery Tour sober is a rookie mistake

[@charleswagner2984]

🤣

[@samguberman2288]

Another fantastic reaction to I am the walrus, amazing track one of their best. And We've got some more astonishing tracks to come. Youll have watch Magical Mystery Tour, it's a patchy psychedelic film but the songs featured are worth the effort to see a video of I am the walrus.

[@IsaacWale2004]

The "Yellow submarine" film album also has a few tracks that were meant to be on Pepper. The B-side of this album were just singles, originally it was only an EP. So "I am the Walrus" was the original ending for a lot of people... just imagine that... what an ending!

[@2009kygal]

John said Paul was the walrus, but knowing John, that was tongue in cheek.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

MMT is a super cool album. I love that songs 3 & 4 are so progressive, mysterious and atmospheric. They are very "UnBeatles" yet they are the Beatles! I love that the band was stretching out and exploring so many new sounds and songwriting forms! Very cool. This is a great album because it's got both "ULTRAPOP" and it's got those weird, progressive tracks that take you on a journey!

[@stevebeye1585]

Agreed

[@kobcritic624]

Paul McCartney has such a good solo career you're gonna love Ram

[@genebaughbba]

Remember that this is a soundtrack to the movie of a bus tour a lot of these short instrumentals are the music you would hear as they're driving to the countryside.

[@Beatlejamie]

The first side of the album is from the movie Magical Mystery Tour, the second side is a collection of singles from 1967 (in ADDITION to Sgt Pepper!) Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane All You Need is Love & Baby Yr a Rich Man Hello Goodbye & I Am The Walrus (also in the movie)

[@stevenboettcher4796]

George also wrote Only A Northern Song and It’s All Too Much (on Yellow Submarine album). “Too Much” is a great song.
