I showed the original to my English teacher back when I was in high school and it was one I always found myself wanting to rewatch in recent years. Thanks for bringing it back

[@fatcoyote2]

I did the same thing to my Writing teacher in college.

I can only echo the comments that others have made when I say that I am absolutely stoked to see this video again. I loved it so much that I memorized chunks of the video to the point that whenever I think of 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings,' I immediately follow it with 'In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a stately pleasure dome decree.' and 'Twas Brillig in the slivey toves.'

[@xfreak385231]

Hearing Kyle sing Beatles music still gives me chills. So happy this video is back.

[@auldthymer]

Right? Such a delight

[@63electricmayhem]

Seriously. It was great.

[@SoleMan117]

Kyle, I don't care what you say, I think your early work displayed a lot of talent and energy. I think if you released it properly there would be a lot of support for it!

[@XainRussell]

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around what constitutes an up beat or a down beat, but this video brought me closer than any of my english or writing teachers ever did. Thanks Kyle!

[@guillaumechevalier3368]

One of my all times favourites of Kyle's I'm guessing he has found new material (like his remastering of the "Gerry" review) and I can't wait for his new version!

Between The Edits: Getting Poetry Past The Content ID Robots. This is a double work of art, and I like to think of the robots as being art critics in their own mechanical way, and this has to now meet their "aesthetic" standards, as well. Maybe this will be the wave of the future, works that have dual meanings for carbon based life forms and sentient machines. Thanks for the extra work.

That's... Actually a good idea, at least for a sci-fi story.

That future is already here, Kinda. Spotify uses algorithms based on listenership data to decide which artists get to be included in their playlists

@@klisterklister2367 I don't think you understood my joke. It was the idea that the a.i. itself would develop consciousness and their own form of artistic judgement, not merely collating and corralling human interests.

[@Lionkingview]

This video helped me remember the different rhyme metres which in turn helped me pass a few tests. U da man , dog. Also the sentence "every word in the English language has a clear cut cadence" is burned into my mind forever.

[@Catchandelier22]

I remember sending this to my dad when he taught English at a college level. He used it in his classes to teach prosody! So glad it’s back on the channel; one of my favorite works on this channel.

[@supersonic250]

I learned more from this video about poetry than I learned in 12 years of English classes, and 4 years of college classes. Thank you so much for reposting this. It was one of the best you've ever made.

[@Nurpus]

One of my favorite, best put together videos on the internet. No filler all killer. Thank you for re-uploading it!

[@MariaVosa]

Chills. Actual chills. And you have a beautiful voice.

[@thefez-cat]

That last quote of Ringo at the end gets me every time.

[@tape-6]

recently decided i was sick of the beatles being a huge blank spot in my music knowledge and started to listen through the entire beatles discography. i finished revolver right before watching this, what a perfectly timed upload.

[@keigoftw]

We've all been hearing it all out lives without knowing it. The older generation never really pointing it out because its the Beatles, why would they ever need to point it out? For me, the entry point was the 2007 movie Across the Universe, a musical that stitched together the lyrics of a dozen or two Beatles songs into a cohesive narrative, all sung by the character with very limited diaglogue as if were almost a live action Interstella 5555

[@Rune3D]

I remember showing this to my older brother back in '13. The Beatles has always been one of his all time favorites. In fact, "Imagine" and "Hey Jude" were both used to keep us asleep as babies. This video both sealed us as permanent fans of your channel. Seeing it back brings so much light on my day, Kyle! Thank you!

[@nekosd43]

I'm an English teacher that has been using this video (pirated, I'm sorry, it was the only way to get it at the time thanks youtube) in my classes for a couple years. It's just so good and an excellent intro to poetry for teens. I'm so glad to see it back up, so I can now give you views when I show it to my students!!

[@elizabethdevido2081]

Welp, now I want an album of Kyle covering all the songs in this video.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Man, I miss these side projects. This was one of the best videos that I've watched around that time, and I'm glad you remastered it for today's standards. I missed this video so much and was disappointed the copyright holders had to send it under.

[@samtheanthro]

Glad to see this one back up! You were one of the creators who made me want to start making my own videos and this is still a favorite of mine. Well done and thank you for taking the time to get this one back up!

[@OhMyGoshItsALeg]

Just as gorgeous and engaging a video as I remembered! Honestly with the new crunchy-sounding intro and outro it puts me in mind of my dad in his old studio in our basement, putting on his Beatles records he bought back when they were first released, and me sitting down in the corner listening to the crackling, popping music as my dad painted nearby.

[@Advent3546]

This was always one of your best videos Kyle. I look forward to seeing it again.

[@catherineelmore2004]

So, so happy to see this video again! Great intro to poetry!

[@geneirai]

oh! this is my absolute favourite of your work! thank you for bringing it back to youtube where I can easily share it with people! no joke I search this video on google maybe once every 4 months to show people cause it's just so good!

[@ThePonderer]

One of my favorite videos, not just by yourself, but period.

[@hectorh.micheos.1717]

[@StrangeGamer859]

When we needed it the most, it returned

[@EdBurke37]

I'm so happy this is back!

[@canadiankazz]

*gasp!!!* it’s back and better than ever! I would think of this video every time I heard a Beatles song and I genuinely grieved that it had to be taken down. To say I’m glad it’s back is an understatement. Thank you.

[@exittomenu]

one of my favorite videos uploaded to the internet period, this vastly improved my songwriting when i first saw it and when i was no longer able to reference it my ability swiftly tanked. so happy to see it back, you make excellent work

[@sonickitch]

Great video Kyle , obviously having The Beatles would destroy you in copyright , i enjoyed you singing :)

[@coyotedelamancha]

I think this is the best introduction to poetry and lyrical music that I have ever encountered. Thank you for it. Also, not to berate the obvious, but you have a beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing that, as well.

[@jimdandy2368]

This video got me through Poetry 101. Thanks Kyle!

[@radiansaphir]

So happy to see this video finally return! I remember discovering the original shortly AFTER completing my Eng Lit and AP English courses, and kicking myself for not using KZbin as a study tool earlier; would've saved me a full year of grief X'D

[@dubbingsync]

One of the episodes of Brows Held High I watched multiple times back in the day. Nice to see its back.

"Praise for a Video: A Haiku" by Ethan Sloan YAY! Been gone too long Happy to see it again You have a nice voice

I'd never seen this before. While straight as the day is long, I'm not ashamed to admit it. Kyle is now my official man-crush.

[@theothertonydutch]

Strawberry Fields is such a goddamn masterpiece and how that song is arranged is just ridiculous.

[@ddrussianinja]

[@Rhi_willowgrey]

I showed this to an Old English professor back in University, I cannot say how happy I am to be able to watch it again

[@allanolley4874]

This is a really great short introduction and demonstration of some simple stuff about poetry that is well worth knowing. May not be the greatest or most profound videos Kyle has done but it is a singularly effective video, truly "brevity is the soul of wit".

[@wolfrat4998]

Thank you so much for bringing this back. This video inspired me to get into poetry a very long time ago and I've missed it dearly.

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

It was this video (and your one on William Shakespeare's Star Wars) that got me interested in writing in verse. You showed me what was behind the curtain of famous and beloved songs and lines, and made me feel like I could do it to. Thank you.

[@AmericanSuit]

Glad I was able to download the original way back when. This video made me understand and appreciate music in a way that formal poetic education never did. One of your best.

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

Before the blipocalypse, this was the one from the site that shall be named that I watched the most. Something about it just drew me to it. Not even that into music, but I can quote this line for line

This video was one of the things that made me choose to do an undergrad English degree, it's wicked great to watch it again!!

[@ZephLodwick]

This might be my favourite video of yours, Kyle. There's always been something about metric poetry that's just clicked with me. Some people say that it's hard, but it's just come naturally to me. I'm going to have to watch it over and over just to get all the little details.

[@Kayume]

Ah!! I haven't watched this in years, but it was so influential to my writing when I was younger! Even now, I still hum Norwegian Wood when trying to imitate that stress rhythm in my work! It's delightful to see it on KZbin. Thank you so much for all the work you did in making it bot-appproved!

[@1987MartinT]

This is amazing! The Beatles really did it all when it comes to musical poetry.

[@gozerthegozarian9500]

Wonderful video! I do love it when you sing in your vids, your voice is lovely!

[@d3ada5tronaut]

One note I guess on the existence of poetry in the modern day is that I feel like we are exposed to more non-sung poetry all the time through rap. It’s still exposure to poetry in a musical format, though, but Sappho’s poetry was sung to the lyre. Poetry spoken is poetry alive and if we looked at poetry as that instead of something purely written I think we would see it everywhere

[@Jjrmtv]

I LOVE THIS!

[@ssatva]

Just stunning--don't know if I saw the original, think I may have missed it, but the performances here really knocked me out, I kinda love your singing voice, and the editing/visual effects... this is just a damn delight, on top of a fantastic way to summarize stuff that all too often gets mystified. Bravo!

[@BobHoss4]

THANK GOD the low quality one with russian subs vanished a few years back and ive been wanting to rewatch this one for ages! Not to say you peaked in 2013 or whatever, but this will always be one of my favorite things youve ever made. Cheers!
