@@thiagogomesdm Thanks, yes, I know what you're saying. It seems to me that it depends on the country. I'm posting a lot of music on Tumblr and I know that not all 'zones' (countries) can 'see' all the music I post. 🎶🎶 I remember that the Beatles music was very hard to repost when Michael Jackson bought their catalogue. That, thankfully has changed now. Similar Bob Dylan songs. They wear heavily restricted but now it seems ok. Finally... 😁😁 I always felt that the restricting of posting 'old' music was short-sighted. The young generations need to be exposed to that music in order for them to possibly buy some of it.
You hit the nail on the head when you said it was a genuine cry for help because John said later that he was going through a bit of a down period even in the middle of Beatlemania and all the success they had, so when he sang Help! he meant what he was singing.
I enjoy watching your Beatles reactions. I was a young boy when I came to live in the USA back in 1978. The Beatles music was played a lot and I immediately became a fan. This is the first time watching this video. I have watched the one from their second film also named Help! many times. Their song A Hard Day's Night is also the title for their first film. It's in black & white and a fun video and movie. Help! the movie is their first one in color. The Beatles have so many great songs that any you watch you are going to enjoy a lot. ❤
Help is one of the Beatles' most recognizable songs, and they had MANY. Their creative output, in quantity and quality, is unmatched in popular music. Originally mostly a cover band for 50's Rockabilly and early Motown, once they got their songwriting wheels moving after their first couple of albums they churned out more successful material in about 6 years than anyone in history. Their music is deceptively simple on the outside, but when you dig deeper it's lot more complex, especially in the later years.
I think you'd love the, now classic, film they made when they hit world wide fame in 1964. It's called "A Hard Day's Night", and gives a great idea of what Beatlemania was all about. Help was also the title track of their 2nd film, called Help!
When I was 11yrs old I stood in line to see the movie "Help" I was already infatuated with them and their music. 59 years later it seems like yesterday. The song remains one of my favorites of all time. Keep exploring and brightening my days. 🤘😎❤
Beautiful reaction, Steph. Yes, this song was a very authentic plea from John for support when he was awash in The Beatles stardom but experiencing personal challenges coping with that.
The Beatles were way ahead of their time, musically and visually! A nice contrast to this video would be their "REVOLUTION' music video from 1968. Both the song and performance are a lot more edgy, but really terrific! ☮
Paul has always been my favorite Beatle. I have seen him live 5 times in my lifetime. In the video, the fake snow got in Paul's mouth and he is trying to get it out. John wrote this song as he was going through a rough time and he had stated that this song was a real cry for help. He called this time in his life as: "His Fat Elvis Period".
For a great look into the Beatles in the earlier part of their career , check out their movies "A Hard Day's Night" & "Help !" and the sound tracks to each . You'll love the movies because as you seem to like to say , "They're so cute !" in them . 🙂
This was John's "Cry for Help"... The concert tour was finished and the Band took a much needed Holiday from everyone and each other. John didn't like sitting at home and was lonely, without knowing what the next plan was, for him OR the Beatles... So he wrote a Song about it.
SO great you now effortlessly know them by their first names! Yes, Paul was Impossibly Cute, lol! You should watch them live on an Ed Sullivan performance and see how crazy their fans got when they saw them play!
Title song from the film, some more classics also in this musical comedy. Yesterday, Its only Love, Your going to lose That Girl. Leave you to find them all ♥
You should check out the entire Help! soundtrack album. What makes it such a landmark effort in Beatles history (among many such achievements) is it marked the beginning of the Beatles transition from straight up rock and roll to more intricate instrumentation. And the songwriting also became more intense with songs like 'It's Only Love', 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away', 'I've Just Seen a Face', and especially 'Yesterday.' This was a process that reached its full fruition with their next album 'Rubber Soul.' The first of the really great Beatles thematic albums. Whereas the ones before were more like collections of songs rather than being a cohesive whole.
After Paul McCartney gave a live solo performance of The Beatles song, "Yesterday" in 1965, Ringo came on stage carrying a tall bouquet of flowers for Paul, presumably from a fan. Just as soon as Paul grabbed the flowers from Ringo, the latter quickly walked backwards still holding the flowers, while Paul was left holding nothing but pre-cut stems in his hand. The Beatles were pranksters.
Paul is adorable in this There were a group of videos made around that time with a similar look/feel: Help, We Can Work It Out, Ticket to Ride and I Feel Fine
Go watch the movie "Help" ... and also "A Hard Days Night" ... There are numerous documentaries but " The Beatles The 1st US Visit" is a real life version of the movie "A Hard Days Night" ..In places like on the train it's hard to tell them apart. Another is "Eight Days A Week" with a much broader story from their beginnings through to their world fame. Both fascinating documentaries, but definitely watch the 2 movies mentioned to see how the 4 young lads from Liverpool really were, even in a movie, because they were so natural they didn't need to act. Plenty of music in both movies that would definitely fit into the category of the earliest music video. I 1st saw the movie "A Hard Days Night" at the cinema aged just 9 yrs old with my older 3 sisters. All these decades later it is still my favourite movie and "Help" being my 2nd. [ I have both on vhs video and dvd ] along with every album on original vinyl and later on cd. Their music is still a big part of my life.
watch eight days a week, show you the legendary shea stadium show which was one of the first stadium shows in history. note: the tune was not played at the actual concert. check out the young girls fainting at the mere sight of them
John Lennon originally envisaged this as a slow number and it was the band's producer who encouraged him to place it in their contemporary uptempo mode. This was, in some senses, revolutionary. It's vulnerability with a backbeat.
Not from the movie. That video has the villain in the movie, throwing darts at a film of them. The video Steph is watching was made for Top of the Pops.
@@patticrichton1135 If you say so. So, what would you say is the first Beatles' video? I'd say I Feel Fine with Ringo on the stationary bike. I guess Paperback Writer is the first one shot outside a studio.
@@debjorgo These were called promotional films, not videos as we have known them since MTV. But they were certainly a bit more creative than just standing and playing. However, the Beatles could stand still and play and make the people scream and yell uncontrollably, and didn't need the films as a means to be heard and sell records.
@@thomastimlin1724 Back in the '80s, MTV used to show promo films 24 hours a day. The first one MTV showed was called Video Killed the Radio Star. It was a promo film originally shot for Top of the Pops too. Just like the Help! video here.
So good that you are doing both old and new. Now you know why they are considered the world’s greatest band of all time 😊 Try some of the early live performances - all the screaming girls with banners with the names of their favorite Beatle ❤
Thanks, GF... one of my favorites of their early songs... great melody and "counter-melody"... these guys were so talented.. and "cute" - you can see why the girls went crazy back in the day.. Now, this is a silly video.. but they didn't have the electronic technology to make it "creative" .. so they just did what they could.. and I actually enjoy that a lot... appreciate your reaction and look forward to more...
Just stumbled over your channel and I really like your reaction style, will check out definitely more videos! This one was really a call out for Help by John who was not very happy at that time and also thought he got too fat ("Fat Elvis phase" as he called it) but also reflects the influence of Dylan's more sensible and serious songwriting - they met him one year before and especially John was taken in by his lyrics and George by his folk music. I don't know if you have done it yet as I am new to your channel but you should watch the A Hard Day's Night movie about the day in a life of the group during highest Beatlemania. it is witty, funny and has some of their greatest songs on it (the album is one o their best). It is often considered one of the best music movies of all time like Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads but contrary to this that concentrated on the concert AHDN also shows the band's struggle with fans, fandom, press conferences, and touring but very funny. Especially George and Ringo could show their talent here as actors.
0:54 "Okay guys, I'm ready". (1 second later...) "ARGH!!!" Jokes aside, the next song of The Beatles that you should definitely listen to, is "Let It Be", probably their best song.
Two months ago for the first time i was in Liverpool and this iconic song was everywhere ❤ one of the first song by The Beatles i discovered while getting started to listen famous music ❤ please make a reaction to another famous The Beatles song called Please Mr Postman ❤
It’s a good song . Probably one of their better liked by me. Check out Paul McCartney and Wings. They have some great songs like Band On The Run. Good reaction
There’s a live version on utube from the Ed Sullivan Show. Check that out! The audience is mostly young girls and this is the first time the Beatles were in America. Myself and almost everybody at the time tuned in to see them. I was seven but my older sisters were teenagers. The house was never the same…..Cheers
This and 'In My Life' are my 2 favourite Beatles songs. One is very snappy and the other is much quieter. They had to give up singing live because of the audiences screaming which meant that they could not hear themselves singing.
Love seeing the younger generation paying attention to the genius of The BEATLES you like the fun there having you should view their movie called. " HELP " have fun
Saw this at a matinee in a theater in first release. Completely magical. They were truly clever and brilliant young men, and it's sad that the pressures of life drove them apart. They stopped playing live because they couldn't even hear themselves play from the screaming. I believe they were only truly happy on stage, just the four of them. All music that followed them was influenced by them.
I grew up with the Beatles, literally, since 1963, and I've never seen that video of Help. I've seen the movie version, which i was expecting, but not this one. As far as I recall.* *lots of time and drugs and alcohol on my part have passed into history since 1965, so I can be forgiven for a senior moment and a brain fart.
unlike solo artists or band leaders last 20 years that have their dedicated following, all four of the Beatles had their own personae, talent, demeanor. All four had massive individual followers, as well as, those fans being a "group" fan.
5 months short of 60 YEARS since this song was finished by Paul based upon John's foundational lyrics. They had to produce this song to order, to accompany their latest film's newly conjured title, from the movie's producers: Help!
@@gettinhungrig2 "According to McCartney, he was called in "to complete it", providing the "countermelody" arrangement, on 4 April 1965 at Lennon's house in Weybridge." This is confirmed by 3 separate sources but the premise that the main melody and lyrics are purely John's is correct
The greatest of the British Invasion bands. Became a worldwide phenomenon until their rather messy breakup. All four having some memorable solo hits post breakup. My favorite being the Grammy winning Band On The Run album from Paul McCartney and Wings.
Hi Steph, I'm a 66 year old musician and saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when I was 6 and they helped me kick start my musical career and liked them ever since
@@thomastimlin1724 Well, no musical career. My brother bought Meet the Beatles. He went into the army. All I had was the radio. He came home with Sgt Pepper and the White Album (and a few other non-Beatle LPs). My sister started picking them up at that point, Magical Mystery, Hey Jude, Let it Be, McCartney, Ram, Imagine. She got married; I had to fend for myself at that point.
it was orignally a slow, sad song that john wrote but their producer george martin suggested they speed it up...& then u have a hit, & the rest is history.
Actually it was "PLEASE PLEASE ME" that George Martin suggested they speed it up. They were trying to do it as in Roy Orbison's style at a slower tempo. Martine was write as it was only their second release and it was their FIRST Number 1 song.
Film crew: We can't film Ringo's drum kit Ringo: Then what am I going to do? Film crew: Hold an umbrella?

It´s a song very deep, though it seems so cheerfully, is really Johns asking for help, because he was going through for a deep depression, He suffered so much by the time. In fact the others didn't note his state, it was lots of years late, Paul reflected about that, thinking of John condition, not in that moment.
I think you would enjoy their first movie "A Hard Days Night". Great songs. While its a fictional story, it will give you a bit more understanding of what Beatlemania was like.
the second "alternate melody" being sung all woven in between the primary melody is my fave part of this song....a "alternate melidy" as opposed to a normal harmony....they were super innovative like that, & in often such seemless ways it goes unnoticed or doesnt seem like the song could even exist any other way
I highly recommend watching the movie "Help!". It's silly, madcap fun with a great soundtrack. I kinda remember seeing it in a theater back in 1966. I have a DVD copy of it, if I'm looking for fun and great music I'll pop it in.
One thing about the Beatles: I think Paul McCartney expressed best the band's attitude about being famous personalities when he mentioned how they were never comfortable being those stars that get seriously into acting suave/debonair all the time; that they were much more comfortable just being goofballs. McCartney breaking the illusion of playing his bass during the song to grab a big handful of "snow" to dump on Lennon's head is exhibit A here. You should check out their performance of "We Can Work It Out" on this same exact show to watch how Lennon goofs around there.
Steph, thank you for your lovely reaction! The song "Help!" is great. it's one of their best. But, the "promotional" video you saw is shite, if you'll excuse the expression. It's just bare-bones, low-budget video (filmed in B&W, for some reason) and does not do the song justice. Now, if you really want to see them play that song in it's proper context, you should watch their film called "Help!", which they starred in in 1965! "Help!" is one of my favorite comedies from the 1960's and the music included in the film is awesome. It is a great example of early, Pop-culture British humor/comedy, like the kind we would see later, with Monty Python's Flying Circus, for instance. It's also kind of surrealistic, since the 60's were heading that direction due to experimentation with drugs. It's definitely worth watching and I think you will love it! *** Note, one of the main reasons I do not like this video is because it does not show Ringo playing his super-tight drumming! What a crime!
I don't want ruin your new found joy of hearing The Beatles, their songs were often very positive and upbeat compared to other British Bands like the Rolling Stones or The Who. But you might have heard that John Lennon was murdered in 1980 by a psychotic person. Elton John sang a beautiful tribute to Lennon called "Empty Garden". Likewise in 1981, George Harrison sang a tribute to his friend, Lennon called, "All Those Years Ago". In that song Harrison paid Lennon the highest compliment by singing, "You had control of our smiles and our tears, all those years ago". Every true Artist takes control of the deep emotions of the viewer or of the listener of their Art. Lennon, like the rest of The Beatles were true artists.
"Help" is such a dizzy "James Bond" era caper film which takes them all over the world running from assorted baddies gunning for them. A color film (unlike A Hard Day's Night), it has the same director (Richard Lester) and is a very wise and funny thing with the classic bantering among the boys. It's generally considered less as a film than their first, but it has a really bouncy flavor.
I was twelve and yes, they grabbed our little hearts back then. They still do, so endearing and sexy. We fell for life. Not to mention the unmatched talent. They changed the world for the better. They way we dressed, and thought even. They made a big effort towards the peace movement, and were just so unique in every way, not just musically. Paul still makes my knees go weak ha! Adorable❤
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 Steph. Great and fun reaction. I’m not sure if you’ve seen or even heard of the movie “Yellow Submarine” by the Beatles. I think you would love it.😊
What a fantastic reaction. Love it. And I really loved your comments at the end. It's so true
Steph gets instant respect just for being brave enough to do a beatles video. The heavy weight champion of copyright restrictions. Thumbs up all day for that. Thank you!
Just curious friend, are you saying that it's difficult to get to Beatles videos?
@@ricklee5845 What he meant is that many reaction channels when they see Beatles videos, these videos are generally blocked by RUclips. Beatles songs are easily blocked by copyright.
@@thiagogomesdm Thanks, yes, I know what you're saying. It seems to me that it depends on the country.
I'm posting a lot of music on Tumblr and I know that not all 'zones' (countries) can 'see' all the music I post. 🎶🎶
I remember that the Beatles music was very hard to repost when Michael Jackson bought their catalogue. That, thankfully has changed now.
Similar Bob Dylan songs. They wear heavily restricted but now it seems ok.
Finally... 😁😁
I always felt that the restricting of posting 'old' music was short-sighted. The young generations need to be exposed to that music in order for them to possibly buy some of it.
The Eagles would give them a run for their money. But your right.
You hit the nail on the head when you said it was a genuine cry for help because John said later that he was going through a bit of a down period even in the middle of Beatlemania and all the success they had, so when he sang Help! he meant what he was singing.
Correct fellow fan. Notice how round Johns' face is in this video. During what he called his "fat Elvis period."
I enjoy watching your Beatles reactions.
I was a young boy when I came to live in the USA back in 1978.

Beautiful reaction, Steph. Yes, this song was a very authentic plea from John for support when he was awash in The Beatles stardom but experiencing personal challenges coping with that.

So fun seeing someone new discover this great music!
I remember listening to this as a young teen on the beach in 1965. Sixty years later and I love it just as much.
Usually they used soap flakes as snow. The Beatles at that that time were still having fun. Thanks Steph for your unbridled enthusiasm.
"Let It Be" and "Yesterday" are definitely songs you should listen to.
For a great look into the Beatles in the earlier part of their career , check out their movies "A Hard Day's Night" & "Help !" and the sound tracks to each . You'll love the movies because as you seem to like to say , "They're so cute !" in them . 🙂

'Yellow submarine' and 'All you need is love' are masterpieces by the Beatles.

There were a group of videos made around that time with a similar look/feel: Help, We Can Work It Out, Ticket to Ride and I Feel Fine
That's because they were all filmed on the same day.
And Day Tripper.
They are very stoned here and in " Ticket to Ride " ( same day )

After the rain with your beautiful reaction you brought out the rainbow in my room 🌺
your reaction to this song is one of the sweetest , most sincere and heartfelt i have seen
Among all their many innovations, they essentially created the music video era
They are forever indebted to director Richard Lester, of Help fame, for setting up the music video type of recording in the movie. Essentially.
From the movie HELP. This is 15 years before "Music Videos" existed.
Not from the movie. That video has the villain in the movie, throwing darts at a film of them. The video Steph is watching was made for Top of the Pops.
@@debjorgo I THINK Mikefetterman6782 meant that the song is from the movie "Help!" not this actual video. Yes THIS video was not a part of the movie.

Try some of the early live performances - all the screaming girls with banners with the names of their favorite Beatle ❤
Years later John called "Help" one of his favorites because it was "real" and real it was!!
Não tem como errar com Beatles
Você pode pegar uma música aleatória de um álbum aleatório e será uma pedra preciosa.
Continua com Beatles Step ❤
Classic song👍
Thanks, GF... one of my favorites of their early songs... great melody and "counter-melody"... these guys were so talented.. and "cute" - you can see why the girls went crazy back in the day.. Now, this is a silly video.. but they didn't have the electronic technology to make it "creative" .. so they just did what they could.. and I actually enjoy that a lot... appreciate your reaction and look forward to more...

I don't know if you have done it yet as I am new to your channel but you should watch the A Hard Day's Night movie about the day in a life of the group during highest Beatlemania. it is witty, funny and has some of their greatest songs on it (the album is one o their best). It is often considered one of the best music movies of all time like Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads but contrary to this that concentrated on the concert AHDN also shows the band's struggle with fans, fandom, press conferences, and touring but very funny. Especially George and Ringo could show their talent here as actors.
WOW !THANK YOU THIS IS MY FAVORITE BEATLES SONG EVER!!!!!
0:54 "Okay guys, I'm ready".
(1 second later...)
"ARGH!!!"
Jokes aside, the next song of The Beatles that you should definitely listen to, is "Let It Be", probably their best song.
It's confetti (paper) raining on them, Steph.
Two months ago for the first time i was in Liverpool and this iconic song was everywhere ❤ one of the first song by The Beatles i discovered while getting started to listen famous music ❤ please make a reaction to another famous The Beatles song called Please Mr Postman ❤
Man… George is a handsome SOB! GREAT song. One of my favorites because of composition and arrangement.
It’s a good song . Probably one of their better liked by me. Check out Paul McCartney and Wings. They have some great songs like Band On The Run. Good reaction

Hi Steph, I'm a 66 year old musician and saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when I was 6 and they helped me kick start my musical career and liked them ever since
I was 8, same story
In the middle, I was 7.
@@thomastimlin1724 Well, no musical career. My brother bought Meet the Beatles. He went into the army. All I had was the radio. He came home with Sgt Pepper and the White Album (and a few other non-Beatle LPs). My sister started picking them up at that point, Magical Mystery, Hey Jude, Let it Be, McCartney, Ram, Imagine. She got married; I had to fend for myself at that point.
it was orignally a slow, sad song that john wrote but their producer george martin suggested they speed it up...& then u have a hit, & the rest is history.
Actually it was "PLEASE PLEASE ME" that George Martin suggested they speed it up. They were trying to do it as in Roy Orbison's style at a slower tempo. Martine was write as it was only their second release and it was their FIRST Number 1 song.
Well! Steph Kitten 🐈you're like the Chicks, back then 🥰 full of energy! Excited 💕😬
Elvis, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles! The god’s of Rock infusion music! Jaz, blues, folk etc. 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pink Floyd, Jim Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Queen and the Rolling Stones as well...
I was 12 when they made there first American appearance, it was on the Ed Sullivan TV show
John with his iconic voice! and Harrison 🙏🏽
Film crew: We can't film Ringo's drum kit
Ringo: Then what am I going to do?
Film crew: Hold an umbrella?
It´s a song very deep, though it seems so cheerfully, is really Johns asking for help, because he was going through for a deep depression, He suffered so much by the time. In fact the others didn't note his state, it was lots of years late, Paul reflected about that, thinking of John condition, not in that moment.
I think you would enjoy their first movie "A Hard Days Night". Great songs. While its a fictional story, it will give you a bit more understanding of what Beatlemania was like.
the second "alternate melody" being sung all woven in between the primary melody is my fave part of this song....a "alternate melidy" as opposed to a normal harmony....they were super innovative like that, & in often such seemless ways it goes unnoticed or doesnt seem like the song could even exist any other way
"Dear Prudence" should be your next Beatle song to react.
Paul plays drums on that song.
@@THOMMGB So what?
I highly recommend watching the movie "Help!". It's silly, madcap fun with a great soundtrack. I kinda remember seeing it in a theater back in 1966. I have a DVD copy of it, if I'm looking for fun and great music I'll pop it in.
Loved the reaction!!!❤
2:06 McCartney: "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down :D"
Strawberry Fields Forever, Nowhere Man, I Need You, Paperback Writer and Rain! Have fun!!
One thing about the Beatles: I think Paul McCartney expressed best the band's attitude about being famous personalities when he mentioned how they were never comfortable being those stars that get seriously into acting suave/debonair all the time; that they were much more comfortable just being goofballs. McCartney breaking the illusion of playing his bass during the song to grab a big handful of "snow" to dump on Lennon's head is exhibit A here. You should check out their performance of "We Can Work It Out" on this same exact show to watch how Lennon goofs around there.
Steph, thank you for your lovely reaction! The song "Help!" is great. it's one of their best. But, the "promotional" video you saw is shite, if you'll excuse the expression. It's just bare-bones, low-budget video (filmed in B&W, for some reason) and does not do the song justice. Now, if you really want to see them play that song in it's proper context, you should watch their film called "Help!", which they starred in in 1965! "Help!" is one of my favorite comedies from the 1960's and the music included in the film is awesome. It is a great example of early, Pop-culture British humor/comedy, like the kind we would see later, with Monty Python's Flying Circus, for instance. It's also kind of surrealistic, since the 60's were heading that direction due to experimentation with drugs. It's definitely worth watching and I think you will love it! *** Note, one of the main reasons I do not like this video is because it does not show Ringo playing his super-tight drumming! What a crime!
So you have now heard John, Paul and George sing.
Which is the favorite?
Plus 100 million girls used to call Paul 'the cute one'.
So I woke up this morning looking the grey skies in Yorkshire feeling miserable then I find this video and realize how good life is. Thank you Steph.
I’m 70 now and still love this song.❤
Should hear While My Guitar Gently Weaps
Don’t be mistaken, these guys are the greatest of all time
Top selling musicians of all time.
They made a movie called Help which is a riot!
Early Beatles is the best/ they were a unit that worked together during that era
She's going to go far , that Steph Gard
Amo a the beatles❤ 🇦🇷
Forget that top ten(especially free as a bird). Oh darling, ticket to ride, revolution, hey bulldog, a day in the life and many more.
What an epic song legends
Fun reaction!❤
I don't want ruin your new found joy of hearing The Beatles, their songs were often very positive and upbeat compared to other British Bands like the Rolling Stones or The Who. But you might have heard that John Lennon was murdered in 1980 by a psychotic person. Elton John sang a beautiful tribute to Lennon called "Empty Garden". Likewise in 1981, George Harrison sang a tribute to his friend, Lennon called, "All Those Years Ago". In that song Harrison paid Lennon the highest compliment by singing, "You had control of our smiles and our tears, all those years ago". Every true Artist takes control of the deep emotions of the viewer or of the listener of their Art. Lennon, like the rest of The Beatles were true artists.
And not forgetting John's heartfelt tribute to Paul, 'How Do You Sleep"
"Help" is such a dizzy "James Bond" era caper film which takes them all over the world running from assorted baddies gunning for them. A color film (unlike A Hard Day's Night), it has the same director (Richard Lester) and is a very wise and funny thing with the classic bantering among the boys. It's generally considered less as a film than their first, but it has a really bouncy flavor.
You should start doing full album reactions. I think a lot of people would enjoy that, especially you!
They play so many different styles that it is hard to have one favorite Beatles song
Beatles é para sempre
Band on the Run was a Paul and Wings song.. a few years after the Beatles split up
.
She thinks that “The Cute Beatle” was cute. She definitely understands what those girls back in the 60’s were feeling about Paul.
I was twelve and yes, they grabbed our little hearts back then. They still do, so endearing and sexy. We fell for life. Not to mention the unmatched talent. They changed the world for the better. They way we dressed, and thought even. They made a big effort towards the peace movement, and were just so unique in every way, not just musically. Paul still makes my knees go weak ha! Adorable❤
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 Steph. Great and fun reaction. I’m not sure if you’ve seen or even heard of the movie “Yellow Submarine” by the Beatles. I think you would love it.😊
BTW Ringo is still touring
So is Paul, he's in South America right now, and then will be touring Europe and England in November and December.
tu reaccion fue tan hermosa, te amé
Is this song the first song titled with ! mark at the end?
