John and Paul were equal in talent. They wrote about the same amount of songs by the end of the Beatles. John was the leader in the early days. By about the mid 60s Paul took the lead, John was deeply depressed. All the unresolved grief that he buried through constant touring came up - because he now had time after they stopped touring. He still wrote great songs. But he had to finally face the loss of his mum, his uncle (father figure), his best mate (Stu Sutclif) and abandonment by his father when he was a toddler.

Yes, Paul was the glue, especially after they stopped touring.
Thank you two for your reactions to the Beatles music, I’m a life long Beatles fan and I get a thrill watching younger generations enjoy their music. Again, thanks and you’ve become my favorite reaction duo.
The complexity in the simplicity of their music is beautiful. Who but the Beatles puts what sounds like a kazoo in the forefront of a song and it sounds perfect!
I can't wait. "Everybody's got somethin'..." and others will blow them away, and "Revolution #9" will f them up and/or put them to sleep, lol. 87.5% of that album has been certified as extraordinarily brilliant, heh.
if they hadn't stopped touring and concentrated on their studio recordings we wouldn't have masterpieces like this. at the time people were upset, but it turned out to be the best decision they made in their career.
Playing live gigs was a nightmare for them, not even worth it. No one could hear them playing/singing because the crowd was flipping out the whole time. Just a circus getting around even. Stopping touring was their best move & for their mental health.
There's a video of Ringo being interviewed and during the interview he mentioned that, if it wasn't for Paul the Beatles would have only released 3, maybe 4 albums .
Paul is like the middle sibling that mediates the rest of the siblings! In the middle keeping the peace. Imagine being a little kid with a big imagination listening to this. This music influenced my art a lot as a little girl. I have come to believe this is one of my favorite Beatles album. The lyrical imagery is soooo fascinating!!! Jewels everywhere!!!!😁😁😁😄💗💗💗
Start to begin learning abut the Beatles over again from another view thanks to your channel. So insightful and entertaining. I love your feel and appreciation of all things Beatles. Thank you gentlemen. Terrific work and fun to watch!. Thanks
I really credit Sir George Martin and his production and sound elements as adding so much more to what the Beatles wrote. He was so instrumental I. His vision as a Producer and Sound man to adding these incredible orchestrations and musical elements to their music.
During the height of BEATLEMANIA, the most pertinent burning question of the era was "WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE BEATLE?" How I smiled when you confessed."PAUL is my FAVOURITE Beatle!". Wonderful to hear that again!
Now your certified Beatles Fans. Every one of us has had the same conversation. With me my older brother. As how we ranked our favorite Beatles. For me John, George,Paul and Ringo. It’s all good, but the fact you’re now having this conversation. Makes you fans, we were doing that in the 60’s. Last comment, do yourselves a Solid, Roll Up before you guys listen to I am The Walrus. Once you hear it, you’ll understand. Peace my friends ❤️
Paul said that when he started writing songs--well before the Beatles--there of course was no music like the Beatles', so he imagined he would be a music hall performer. I.e. bouncy, sentimental, crowd-pleasing songs. So he wrote in that style--When I'm Sixty Four is an example. That's why you can hear that style in much of his music. Being a musical genius, he made that style fantastic.
As a kid, you like Ringo ‘cos he’s the fun one with a funny name. Then you learn the songs and like Paul ‘cos he sings them and seems friendly. As a teenager you like John ‘cos he’s rebellious, idealistic and sings from his heart. As you get older and wiser, you take to George’s understated brilliance and worldliness. Then on your deathbed, you realise it was Ringo all along.
It's a collaborative effort with the Beatles. Each was brilliant in their individual way, as musician, song writer, and singer. Love Fool on the Hill. Haven't heard it for a bit.
You guys have one of the best Beatles reactions channels, if not the best! You can really appreciate the greatness of the Beatles, where other channels do not have a clue into the Beatles' greatness! Thank you for your honest reactions 😃!
Che, you are absolutely right. Paul was the glue, and my favorite Beatle too. He is a workaholic, and is still touring and releasing music. He pushed the Beatles to be better, called them to come to the studio, and worked obsessively to get each recording perfect. Ringo himself said that the Beatles wouldn't have recorded nearly as much music if Paul hadn't hounded them to come to the studio, and do one more take. Eventually, John, George, and Ringo wanted to slow down and enjoy other things, and got sick of Paul's direction, and the band fractured, and eventually disbanded. This happened After Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour, two very "Paul" concept albums. When it came time to record their next album the "White" album, officially The Beatles, they were fighting, with Paul and John recording separate songs in separate studios with John and George openly bad mouthing Paul in the studio--some engineers quit because they couldn't stand to see it. When you get to the white album, I'm sure you hear how the amazing collaboration and unity that made this album is gone. The white album is fantastic in it's own right, but more like solo projects with Ringo staying out of the fight and drumming when asked. I hope someone enjoys this. I really enjoy this channel. All the best.
Paul's may favorite, too & was many people's favorite back in the day. Was my mom's favorite when she was a teen in the 60s, for sure. Yes, all the other Beatles said Paul was the hardest worker, when they didn't want to work he'd be like, c'mon, we have work to do! Of course I love many Lennon songs but Paul was 'the' Beatle in my mind.
Yes, I watched the whole Get Back documentary twice. Fascinating stuff to a Beatles fan (like me) and maybe to music fans in general. It might be a little much for a casual fan. 🤷♀️ in many ways, Paul has always been my favorite. The Scorsese documentary about George made me appreciate him more. Watching the Get Back documentary made me love John. You really get to see his silly side which is delightful. You also see how loyal, dependable, and lovable Ringo is throughout everything. Paul is still my fave Beatles but I love them all. ❤
@@JoeandAngie whoa, that’s cool! It was pretty hard to get wasn’t it? I saw it at Beatlefest in the late 80s, but I don’t remember seeing it anywhere else.
La and Che: I really appreciate so very much your infectious love of music! Both of you guys give us your TRUE reactions and deep analysis that we enjoy. Keep up the excellent work!!
I remember listening to this song as a kid. When I was 10 years old, I listened to the basic sound of the music and vocals together as one unit. Now, as an adult, the song takes on more meaning musically and vocally. I haven't heard the song for over 40 years and the things I hear now in it really make me appreciate it more. I've not really been a 'BEATLES' fan, but if I had to pick a solo artist, it would be George Harrison. His Beware of Darkness song penetrates my soul. Great review guys. Love seeing your passion.
The Beatles were 4 genius's in their field's but the inalienable sense of melody was Paul's gift to the Beatles. John brought a rock n roll sensibility and a great voice allied with a cynical sense of humour, george brought a different approach to the construction of melody within the song, Ringo...don't get me started on how Ringo shaped the rhythmic attack of any Beatles song he played on. But Paul, Paul was the glue, the spirit, the essence of the Beatles. Well spotted gentlemen, you see the truth.
But John and George are the only ones I continued to listen to during their solo careers. Paul’s first few albums had some great songs, but most were boring. John’s voice has always been my favorite, his songs too. I was 9 the first time I heard the Beatles, and John was my first crush❤️
As far as I understand the Beatles always took pride in and said they worked on a consensus model - all 4 had to agree on all decisions for things to move forward. And, watching The Beatles Get Back on Disney is CRAZY great!!!
You are correct. When their manager, Brian Epstein, died in 1967, Paul took over and came up with many new projects, MMT being one of them. Ringo has said, he and John would be out in the garden relaxing, and Paul would call them and say "Time to get back in the studio". He was the workaholic in the band. Ringo has also said that Paul sang on 90% of The Beatles's songs. He did take the lead in the band's later years. That could be one of the reasons the other members resented him.
The Beatles was originally John's band. John started it. He brought in Paul, Paul brought in George, and George brought Ringo in. Paul started to take over by this time.
The old saying back then, Paul was the heart, John the mind, George the soul, and Ringo the body of the Beatles lol. Brasil 66 does a nice cover of this song.
This song reminds me of my childhood. The change from Dmaj to the parallel Dmin was fascinating to me even though I didn’t know what it was except different. 💜💜💜
One element that the Beatles had in their music is the influence of the British Music Hall tradition which is often overlooked in the analysis of their creativity...
McCartney is everything. I watched a documentary of scholars and one said to the other, referring to a convo they had had many years prior…“You were right, the “cute one” was the genius.” He was the innovator. The workhorse. The glue. And had the best vocals, 5 octaves. He bleeds melodies. McCartney is a gift. Love this song so much.
John was serious and his music dramatic; Paul was cute and his music was romantic; George was quiet and his music was deep; Ringo was the loveable clown, who sang mostly novelty songs. George Martin was the glue who held them together. They all liked to have fun.
Paul has ALWAYS been my FAVORITE Beatle since first time I saw them on Feb. 9, 1964. Yes, Paul wanted to keep them together. Did you guys watch Peter Jackson's "GET BACK" series on the Beatles? It is also on Disney. It is 8 1/2 hours total of never seen material that was filmed when "LET IT BE" was filmed. If you liked "Let it Be" you will have even MORE incite on them watching "Get Back."
During their down time while the others were content to just hang out Paul would go and see all types of artists performing to draw inspiration and ideas for songs and recording techniques. Definitely the engine of the fab four.
I have heard both Ringo and George say that if it wasn’t for Paul the BeaTles probably wouldn’t have made 1/2 the albums that they did He was and is an extremely motivated dude
You are right about Paul!!! He is the GOAT!!! His songs are the best! The catchiest, the most upbeat! He wasn’t just the cutest. He is a musical genius! Look at his solo and Wings music. Incredible!!!
The broken hurdy-gurdy, cracked mosaic musical beauty. Genius. End of. Y’all need to do “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” from Sgt. Peppers if y’all have not already. Fully aware or crash, y’all have now crossed the rubicon into looking glass psychedelia. Might as well go the whole hog. Cheers, Boys!!
When I saw Paul, Linda was still alive. And when they did this song in concert he would be on a organ\piano and it would raise up and turn round and round.
Yes, and could be mean to Paul, like when he publicly said all Paul writes is silly love songs. Like, why?! Paul wasn't running around putting John down. Paul has talked about how that hurt him. I mean, they were friends since they were quite young, went through the experience of being a Beatle that only the 4 of them in the entire world can understand, then John is a jerk to him. Ugh.
The Disney 8 hours plus version of the documentary was called Get Back, the original 1 1/2 hour film was called Let It Be [Both 1970-filmed in January 1969].
When their manager died it was Paul that would call the other and say ,Come on boys let's get back to work .Paul and John were both geniuses and George a great writer also .
I am getting that Bio Let it be. I wanna recommend to you guys. Watch the bio Get Back on the Beatles. It shows them when they were smiling and having fun in the studio together. It also shows there strong friendship with Billy Prestin recording with him and having a great time. It really gives you a inside look at the band at better times.
La you’ve *alway* shown an emotional core that’s especially sensitive to modulations in key -especially the major-to-minor, as here (and great songwriters know how to manipulate emotional reactions via modulations). Even when you don’t comment on it, your eyes and head groove show how they’re registering. If I had nothing but time on my hands I’d make a video mashup of these Modulation Moments - and would be a long one! 🙃
Guys the movie Che is referring to is called Get Back. Peter Jackson took the raw footage from the Let it Be movie and expanded it to show how the sessions really were. Great watch for all Beatles fans and paints a completely different picture than Let it B did
I've been very down because my cat is dying. Watching you guys genuinely makes me smile and laugh the whole time and helps me forget about all my sorrow. Thank you

@@harold3165 Thanks!
Wouldn't have been the magic without the chemistry of the four of them. It's the music.
Agree 100%. That’s why whoever wrote what and so on, all the music was released as The Beatles. Love them all 😊
When people say they don't like the Beatles, they can't possibly have heard their whole catalogue.
EXACTLY!!!
Those people don’t realize that the shit music they like now owes their sound and harmonies to the Beatles…and Beach Boys. These two bands continue to inform music for over 50 years.
That's right, because no two songs were ever alike .
Fact!
Paul had one of the great voices in music.
"HAS," heh.
HAS not had
They went from the major on the first chorus to minor on the second chorus and made it from a happy song into an ominous song.
John and Paul were equal in talent. They wrote about the same amount of songs by the end of the Beatles. John was the leader in the early days. By about the mid 60s Paul took the lead, John was deeply depressed. All the unresolved grief that he buried through constant touring came up - because he now had time after they stopped touring.

The Beatles are one of the groups that set the standard. Period.
The complexity in the simplicity of their music is beautiful. Who but the Beatles puts what sounds like a kazoo in the forefront of a song and it sounds perfect!
Paul doing magic with melodies, changes,...awesome!!!
"the Fool on the Hill" has a wonderful alternation between major and minor keys, and the recorders give it its distinctive sound.
Their chord changes are so brilliant
This makes me glad I've lived this long. To watch you both groove so hard to this.
The next album, THE WHITE ALBUM, is gonna answer all your questions about who's who and what's where.
too true
I can't wait. "Everybody's got somethin'..." and others will blow them away, and "Revolution #9" will f them up and/or put them to sleep, lol. 87.5% of that album has been certified as extraordinarily brilliant, heh.
Except that strange haunting coda of Cry Baby Cry. A John song but Paul tacks on that very strange section. It is better than Wild Honey Pie
All the lads have said that paul was the workaholic, so you're spot on with your analysis gents ✌
I just posted three paragraphs saying the same thing! 😆
One of my favorite Paul songs for sure. Saw him live in the 90s play this and was incredible... of course.
My to - I saw Paul 3times live - Oct. 1989 in Hamburg /Germany, 1993 in Dortmund /Germany and 2001 in Hamburg - he's a genius!!
if they hadn't stopped touring and concentrated on their studio recordings we wouldn't have masterpieces like this. at the time people were upset, but it turned out to be the best decision they made in their career.
Same with brian wilson with the beach boys
Playing live gigs was a nightmare for them, not even worth it. No one could hear them playing/singing because the crowd was flipping out the whole time. Just a circus getting around even. Stopping touring was their best move & for their mental health.
I grew up listening to the Beatles when they first came out that’s been an experience. I love them thanks guys.
Paul and John together were a great writing team.
There's a video of Ringo being interviewed and during the interview he mentioned that, if it wasn't for Paul the Beatles would have only released 3, maybe 4 albums .
Ringo was extremely honest and never let his ego get in the way of being open about the workings of
the Beatles.
Paul is like the middle sibling that mediates the rest of the siblings! In the middle keeping the peace. Imagine being a little kid with a big imagination listening to this.

Paul is the glue and the star. He loved the Beatles the most.
Paul is the fool imo.
He was indeed "THE GLUE". Ringo said the rest would be chilling on the beach and such and Paul would call with an idea back into the studio,
Spot on, guys. Paul always drove them to create. Of course they argued...as do all who truly love each other.
Paul said that when he started writing songs--well before the Beatles--there of course was no music like the Beatles', so he imagined he would be a music hall performer.

A deeply psychedelic song; structurally, the sonic textures, lyrically, the "round and round and round" of it all.
My favorite Beatles album. I was just a child when I heard Blue Jay Way. At age 7 it became my 2nd favorite song after The Rite of spring.
I ADORE BLUE JAY WAY. It’s the name of our house!

“McCarthy 3…2…1” is the documentary for you guys. Paul and Rick Rubin going deep. Standing in front of a mixing board

It is also on Disney. It is 8 1/2 hours total of never seen material that was filmed when "LET IT BE" was filmed. If you liked "Let it Be" you will have even MORE incite on them watching "Get Back."
During their down time while the others were content to just hang out Paul would go and see all types of artists performing to draw inspiration and ideas for songs and recording techniques. Definitely the engine of the fab four.
I have heard both Ringo and George say that if it wasn’t for Paul the BeaTles probably wouldn’t have made 1/2 the albums that they did
He was and is an extremely motivated dude
You are right about Paul!!! He is the GOAT!!! His songs are the best! The catchiest, the most upbeat! He wasn’t just the cutest. He is a musical genius! Look at his solo and Wings music. Incredible!!!
The broken hurdy-gurdy, cracked mosaic musical beauty. Genius. End of. Y’all need to do “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” from Sgt. Peppers if y’all have not already. Fully aware or crash, y’all have now crossed the rubicon into looking glass psychedelia. Might as well go the whole hog. Cheers, Boys!!
They did the entirety of Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Abby Road. What gets blocked on You Tube is on Patreon.
Paul is a musical genius.
I agree with you gentlemen that Paul was the glue and the true heart of The Beatles!❤️
When I saw Paul, Linda was still alive. And when they did this song in concert he would be on a organ\piano and it would raise up and turn round and round.
✨Great Reaction & Insight❕You Guys Nailed It❕✨👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤌🏼🫶🏼
Yes I watched it…great documentary
Paul was a brilliant, prolific writer.. especially towards the end. John, also a creative genius, but was a bit jealous of Paul, in my opinion.
John was every bit the genius Paul was.Who cares.Two geniuses.
Yes, and could be mean to Paul, like when he publicly said all Paul writes is silly love songs. Like, why?! Paul wasn't running around putting John down. Paul has talked about how that hurt him. I mean, they were friends since they were quite young, went through the experience of being a Beatle that only the 4 of them in the entire world can understand, then John is a jerk to him. Ugh.
The Disney 8 hours plus version of the documentary was called Get Back, the original 1 1/2 hour film was called Let It Be [Both 1970-filmed in January 1969].
When their manager died it was Paul that would call the other and say ,Come on boys let's get back to work .Paul and John were both geniuses and George a great writer also .
If Brian lived, they would’ve lasted longer
"Let it Be" is mandatory.
I'm so happy y'all enjoy this..🎉❤
So great.. unbelievable 😊😊😊
I am getting that Bio Let it be. I wanna recommend to you guys. Watch the bio Get Back on the Beatles. It shows them when they were smiling and having fun in the studio together. It also shows there strong friendship with Billy Prestin recording with him and having a great time. It really gives you a inside look at the band at better times.
La you’ve *alway* shown an emotional core that’s especially sensitive to modulations in key -especially the major-to-minor, as here (and great songwriters know how to manipulate emotional reactions via modulations). Even when you don’t comment on it, your eyes and head groove show how they’re registering. If I had nothing but time on my hands I’d make a video mashup of these Modulation Moments - and would be a long one! 🙃
I gotta put a call out for George. One of my favorite songs is "This Song". George put it out on his own album.
Guys the movie Che is referring to is called Get Back. Peter Jackson took the raw footage from the Let it Be movie and expanded it to show how the sessions really were. Great watch for all Beatles fans and paints a completely different picture than Let it B did
I've been very down because my cat is dying. Watching you guys genuinely makes me smile and laugh the whole time and helps me forget about all my sorrow.
Thank you
:( so sad. I've been there many times in my life. You will get through it.
Heard that song most of my life before I understood, he sees the world spinning round when everyone else just sees the sun going down.
Sublime as always ❤
One great things about the Beatles is that you can easily understand just about every word they sing.🇬🇧
