Band sounds a bit like klaatu
Yeah dude. They were the Klaatu of the 60s
I don’t know, kinda seem more like Oasis ripoffs to me
Babby Jones haha
@@cyprinuscarpio4541 Of course dude. These guys seems were the Oasis from the 60s and Klaatu was the Oasis from the 70s
I think they're more sounded like ELO
anybody else’s video cut out in weird spots for like 10 seconds each?
Can't believe no one else is mentioning that. Thought I was the only one.
probably youtube automatic censorship. this copyright bullshit

I read your comment, thought "no...?" And then it happened
“If there’s ONE thing the Beatles did well...”
C’mon, now, bud, you can’t just start a sentence like that.
Goji they did it at well!
It sounds brutal but absolutely true: the Beatles would not exist as we know them today without love songs.
Deboraki K i agree, they were BETTER!
@Deboraki K they really were that good. it's been 60 years and people are still loving them. shush.
Yeah, that sentence got to me right away. I had to laugh out loud while shaking my head...
Revolver is so fresh its hard to believe its 52 years old
Totally agree. Lots of great, diverse songs on it...
Not enough songs about scaffolding .
And last year stero mix 👌
I find it kind of funny that at the beginning of The Beatles' career, Lennon and McCartney had this sort of duel through their songs on how they understood love, but Harrison eventually came and said "very nice points, guys, but it actually works like this" and wrote "Something"
"Something" is amazing but note for note, word for word, "In My Life" is my favorite.
george is so underrated >:(
"Something" is George's second best love song. His best is "What Is Life".
It's because he experienced the pain and passion in love and was finally able to express it through his guitar. You've never written a song in your life; can never write masterpieces without a passion of a sort.
Tash I always thought “we can work it out” was the greatest... though later on i realized it had kinda a dark tone
If you're wondering why there are a few silent sections, it's due to RUclips's broken copyright policies and claims system.

I thought that was the issue
This comment should be pinned to the top of the comments section
Yes, I heard on Rick Beato's channel that videos using Beatles and Led Zeppelin songs were notoriously vulnerable to the representatives of the rights.
ooooooh my god. We should all sue them. damn it
Damn. That's a shame
Add the CC please. The silent parts break all the logical arguments in the video
You forgot about "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?"
Right now? Where do you live?
I live on a gravel road, are you sure
No one will be watching us, right?
One day your woman ran out with another man right?
I don't know man, the black mining hills of Dakota don't have very many good roads.
Its a crime to mention love and Revolver without talking about Here, There, and Everywhere and For No One, two of Paul McCartney’s best compositions he’s ever written
“This man officer, right here”
Yes yes yes!!! You're right!
Polyphonic is clearly a John Lennon fan more than a Paul fan which paints a very different picture of the Beatles.
This band sounds pretty good. Hopefully they make it big one day
Too bad this band wasn't even bigger until now I hope there's a manager who will make them popular
I Hope This Is A Joke😲
There was another little quartet from England that gained fame in the late 60s and were very big in the early 70s. You might have heard of them. Led Zeppelin.
@@motnosniv what is an LED zeppelin?
@@sbking74 well no shit
Maybe the greatest song lyric of all time: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
nope, it's "I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me" much more realistic ;)
I agree 100%
The Beatles writing y/n fanfictions before it became cool
i-
you're right tho

Oh
I'm surprised "here there and everywhere" and "for no one" wasn't in the video
Absolutely on point!!! Two of their greatest!
Also, _In My Life._
Fred
It would have to be a 2 hour video.
@@marivg8948 If they got carried away and included all the Beatles' love songs, yes! Probably more than that!
Fred
for no one is probably my favourite love/heartbreak song
@@jimmycello For me, I think it would be _Love Has No Pride,_ as recorded by Bonnie Raitt. (IMHO, a better rendition than even Linda Ronstadt's! More soulful, I'd say.)
_Boulder to Birmingham,_ sung by Emmylou Harris, is close behind it.
_For No One_ I'd place in somewhat a class of its own - a breakup, and we're all sober about it, feeling completely empty.
Almost like, too depressed to even cry.
Can't think of any similar songs; its uniqueness makes it something of a masterpiece.
Fred
Harrison’s song on REVOLVER isn’t called “Love To You,” it’s “Love You To”
oops
@@Polyphonic it's ok it happens to the best of us.
@@DoubtfulCertainties Love you to can mean a hell of a lot. If someone suggests they do something you'd like then you say " love you to "
That is so weird, I could have sworn it was love to you, and I didn’t bat an eye when he said it, what the ....
Another title he didn't get quite right is "I _Wanna_ Be Your Man". Not "Want to". That's the song the Rolling Stones covered. Minor nitpick.
Good, good, slowly this channel becomes a Beatles one...
All is well

Why does everyone seem to neglect the hell out of “Let It Be” as an album?
There are some fantastic songs in that track list and yet many videos about the Beatles seem to just gloss over that album completely.
It's generally considered to be one of their weakest albums. The whole process of making it involved a lot of infighting and stress. So much so, that their producer (widely considered to be "the fifth Beatle"), George Martin quit on them.
Jonathan Morales ya but Ringo always says in interviews that he even quit for a while during the White Album recordings due to certain disagreements. So I don’t think that just because the process was bad that it makes the songs inherently bad.
Songs like “For You Blue” and “Two of Us” are way too good of Beatles songs to just not cover them, not liking the album isn’t really an excuse in my opinion, but to each their own.
Definitely a rock album.
Maybe because it was neglected by the band themselves who pursued writing Abbey Road instead, and later picked up again by a different producer
MrSpencerMcIntosh i think because of the Allen Klein/Phil Spector curse.
It's amazing how the beatles music evolved in such a short space of time, honestly listen to their first album and then listen to revolver or sgt pepper. Sounds like two different bands. I don't know any other bands that evolved and changed that much, the only band i can think of is radiohead.
While they didnt change their overall style much over the years, I think Smashing Pumpkins Melancholy And The Infinite Sadness is nearly on par with The White Album as far as musical diversity goes.
That is true. From Pablo Honey to Kid A was quite a drastic change. The only thing that I find superior is that the Beatles had 3 great and diverse songwriting talents, whereas with Radiohead, it's always just one guy (Thom).
The Strokes changed a ton throughout their catalog. Each album has its own sound.
Queens of the Stone age sound like two different bands from their latest to their first.
@@dareth710 na I feel like they were all similar until their latest album where they lost he plot
Really nice video, just kinda sad you didn't mentioned "Because".
Love is old, love is new.
Love is all, love is you.
The sound disappears between 4:33-4:44 and 9:44-10:03. Or is it just me?
Love the video and your channel!!
Me too
same
Probably copyright stuff
I always thought "For No One" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" were the quintessential love songs in Revolver (and, honestly, in the entire Beatles discography; "For No One" is incredible). They both approach love from two entirely different emotional beats.
And in The End “And in the end the love that you give is equal to the love you take”
"You better run for your life if you can little girl;
Hide your head in the sand little girl;
If I catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl."
So romantic.
they probably wrote that after they started doing acids. What a shame.
Always hated how Lennon comes in with his insecure abusive bullshit after all the complexity and the diverse female characters of the rest of the album...I suppose he at least acknowledges his flaws, 'Y'know that I'm a wicked guy and I was born with a jealous mind', it's like a compulsion...but still, it's a cruel song. That's the end-ah, little girl.
Run for your life
That's based on Baby, Let's Play House by Arthur Gunther, but The Beatles would have been more familiar with the Elvis version.
That songs is sung from the perspective of a an abusive, jealous lover
Is no one talking about the part where the audio cut out?
I almost thought my phone was finally broken, so I’m glad I’m not the only one who had this
Copyright
@@lasernikixcex that would make sense
@@DiceNat21 he actually mentioned the reason for the cut audio
@@lasernikixcex hm must've not heard it cause I was listening while playing Minecraft
This is a great video, however, you missed some really iconic love songs such as "Girl" from Rubber Soul, "For No One" and "Here, There and Everywhere" from Revolver and possibly "Oh! Darling" from Abbey Road. Mentioning more Mccartney songs would also fix the fact that the video (especially the second part) is accenting mostly Lennon's great love songs , which indeed are great, but the ones from Mccartney are definitely just as good.
agreeeee
Gorjan Stojkov yes, omg girl’s a beautiful one
i personally like george harrisons love songs the best just because the spiritual aspect of them

Finally another Beatles video! I’ve been waiting for this!!
@Thorne Good question, what about them?
who?
@Thorne He made a video about Good Vibrations, it's really good!
@Thrustin Von Helmut how's it going down at the gate? I wouldn't say what you're doing is completely unnecessary, but it is.
Thanks Jimmy Page
Appreciate that you're using film footage, all of their films are super dynamically composed and v #aesthetic
Yes, I'd have to agree, however, Yellow Submarine made "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" look positively normal.
Dan Purcell you do very nice work. I hope 🤞 I can do something like this with my music if possible.
Didn't anyone else have a problem with the audio after 4:33 ?
Yeah and during the "the end" bit
I got to this comment like right as it happened
This is your strongest editing yet. Well done bro!
Lennon/McCartney is the best duo. Period.
There have been a number of great duos
In jazz it’s Metheny & Mays
In show tunes it Rodgers and Hammerstein
For a stones fan it’s Jagger and Richards
@@marcscordato4385 but Lennon/McCartney is the best duo. Period.
The Beatles are the Beatles of music.
Harrison's songs are awesome, in my opinion they are clearly at the same level or just better than lennon/mccartney songs
Alice Page George is my fav songwriter ;)
Omg those animated lyrics look so good, nice job!
Julia is the most underrated love song ever imo
One of my favourites
Most of john’s are very underrated, along with if I fell, it’s only love and don’t let me down, he’s a hopeless romantic at heart.
It's about lennons dead mummy
@@bcpjw if I fell is underrated? Wtf that's probably the most popular song from it's album. Agree about It's only love, for some fucked up reason John later dismissed it as bs. I don't know why he was so insecure of his early efforts. They were great.
The Beatles are the greatest band of all time
i agree, most influential band of all time.
Of course they are
....second only to sepultra.
luka homburg :(
Weird way of spelling the Grateful Dead
I think I understand why so many people adored the Beatles now. I've always respected them as musicians, but I always felt I was missing something. I think this was it.
"In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"
Remember to love. That's what it's all about
The quotation of "She Loves You" at the end "All You Need Is Love" would have tied into your narrative pretty well, should have mentioned it.
You missed 'Norwegian Wood' from the Beatles' Rubber Soul album which is related to love, but unlike on the two previous albums Beatles For Sale and Help! which dealt with heartbreak, breakup, or sorrow, the song Norwegian Wood dealt with cheating.
The opening line: "I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me" is confirmed to be about an extramarital affair Lennon had.
Isn't Norwegian wood about a prostitute?
@@nedisahonkey not at all. The individual who Lennon had an affair with is chiefly speculated to be either Maureen Cleave, who was a journalist/writer (one of Lennon's close friends also state this) or Sonny Drane, who was a model.
I feel like he purposely left that one out. There are so many different ways of interpreting that song that a lot of people would probably disagree with him.
@@LycanWitch I meant the the story in the song. Not the story behind it. I'm familiar with the other theories. But sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
@@nedisahonkey No, I think that's Day Tripper.
I've always thought that if everyone listened to The Beatles, the World would be a better place
It was so in the sixties
true
Charles Manson: hold my beer!
@@plasticage2085 shut up nobody cares about him anymore. School shooters have done more damage.
@@tash5540 well i guess Pump Up Kicks is on the another video, then
Man I can't stand this day whatsoever. But you just brightened it greatly with this video.
Their Message always was LOVE in some shape or form at the Heart of it All. Thank you greatly for this 💖
The Beatles are one of my favorites to listen to! I'm 15, love playing guitar, and hope to write some tunes as well! Watching this video is the greatest present.
That is so cool to read! I'm a 62 year old professional musician, composer and music theory teacher. It always warms my heart when younger people like yourself listen to the Beatles and "get" them. They were remarkable in more ways than one. They literally changed the world because, not only was the entire world very much aware of them, but virtually the entire world were fans. If you want to be a great songwriter, keep listening to them. They taught me incredible lessons in music and composing. And because of them...I still believe that love can save the world.
Okay, nobody cares. Snowflake.

Not snowflakes mate. That was the last generation.
Here There And Everywhere Is My Favourite Love Song
same
Does anyone else audio drops out around 4:34 to 4:45
Got immediate goosebumps when I heard "Yesterday"
“And I Love Her” is also such a good love song too
300 songs in just 8yrs! The speed of their development was incredible. No other band covered so much ground, and no other band changed the entire music industry. We all hear songs today that would never of happened if it was not for The Beatles.
ALL pop music today is thanks to what the Beatles did...
"it uses simplicity to hint at complexity"
It's so beautiful to think about, because it's so gosh darn true
This quote is the best way to describe Yesterday.
Some people want to fill the world full of silly little love songs
What's wrong with that?
@@mariocastillo8334 ayyyyyyy
@Itapi Coolest aye
@Itapi Coolest As is Mario's comment
@Itapi Coolest So is his comment. "What's wrong with that?" immediately follows the line that rictualfury quoted.
You forgot their hit from the Anthology called Real Love.
what can be said of the beatles? they're simply the best
Of all the great songs the Beatles have done “Yesterday has a very special place in my heart” regret is a powerful emotion the yearning for what could have been what should have been leads us to a deep and often dark place . Yesterday is introspective and cathartic .
Yesterday is my favorite love song of all time.
You've got this amazing knack of producing videos that I had no idea how badly I needed them in my life.
Keep up the sensational quality of your work, mate. I absolutely love it.
Nice video, though audio drops out in two places-- around 4:32 and 9:46
Joe Colletti I was looking for this. I thought I was going crazy cuz no one else pointed it out
@@Okkkkkkk-ol5kz , you might still be going crazy-- I might too-- but this is real. ;)
Well I'll join you in the crazy bin cause it started dropping out for me as well. Do we get cookies in the crazy room?
Amazing video, the way you moved the lyrics were fascinating and great!
One important love song is “Ob la di Ob la da”. It portrays a love story in its simplest form giving you a sneak peak at the bigger image of love. They talk about how Desmond and Molly meat and then they follow their romance up until they’re raising children. I also love how Molly still sings in a band. To me it’s a reminder that love should facilitate doing things you love
Im loving the use of kinetic typography. When i was younger i was totally in love with songs that used it in their videos, and i think it adds so much to your videos and makes your content really stand out
The typography in this video is amazing. The video overall is just simply wonderful. Another good job, Polyphonic 👍🏼
Really enjoyed this episode!
Another Beatles video? Awesome! Also happy Valentines day, Polyphonic!
That was a great video! I've grown up listening to the beatles in no particular order. I've consistently discovered songs through the years that have become special for me. Your video made me wish I could rediscover all of the beatles again.
This is just a great video. Perfectly encapsulates part of why I love the Beatles so much.
7:00 the word was the first time they talked about love in a more broad way
"All You Need is Love" epitomizes the Beatles' lyrical message more than any of their other songs.
Once again, another fantastic video. I especially love the editing on this one. Keep up the good work my guy.
The motion design on Polyphonic is on point. Can't believe this is just available for every one
14th of february its a nice day to listen to the beatles
ANY day is a nice day to listen to The Beatles. Anytime At All.
Not if you're alone.
Tash they got a lot of songs for lonely people lol
And yesterday
This video strangely just gave me the most powerful inspiration.
Time to right a goddamn love song.
The editing in this video is masterfull, one of your best ones
Man, I swear your graphics get better with each video! Keep up the magnificent work!
i’m amazed you didn’t mention I Will from the white album!! it’s one of my favorites!
And don't forget "In My Life," covered by many a famous singer. (In fact, I'm wondering whether it might be their most covered song?)
Fred
ffggddss The Beatles’ most covered song is “Yesterday”.
@@cremetangerine82 Yes, that does ring a bell for me. Thank you!
Fred
Great video. Absolutely loved it as The Beatles are my favorite band of all time. I really wished you would have touched on "Here, There and Everywhere" as I think it's the best Beatles love song. Also would have like to see your input on "Real Love". Either way, loved the video and hope to see more Beatles content
Okay thanks for posting this. I really needed this today lol. I love the Beatles
This is my new favorite video from you. Everything about this is awesome. Your videos are always polished, but this is a new level. Great job!
Great video but you missed out on a couple of things:
I think that you could have brought up "Norwegian Wood" (however over-mentioned it is) because it's the first Beatles' love song that really had to be "deciphered" because of its Bob Dylan-esque lyrics. Rubber Soul also focused more on the bitter side of love than the happy one compared to previous albums. "Think for Yourself" and "I'm Looking Through You" are fuming songs aimed at whoever crossed George's and Paul's paths (also Bob Dylan influenced). Revolver also had a few more songs you could have mentioned. "For No One" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" are two of the Beatles best love songs. While "All You Need is Love" is a bit naive in its lyrics, "For No One" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" are more developed in song structure and lyrical complexity. The line "And in her eyes you see nothing/ no sign of love behind the tears/ cried for no one/ a love that should've lasted years" is tremendous. "Here, There, and Everywhere" was Paul's favorite (and John's favorite Paul piece), and its composition is genius in the way it uses one stanza of "here", then "there", then "everywhere".
However, these are just my opinions and I thought the video was great.
You skipped "Here, There, and Everywhere" but I still loved this video :)
This is actually really good video! Found out about your channel just this week, but it is already one of my favourite channels!
One of your best videos yet. Great job on this one
am i the only one hearing sound breaks at 4:37-4:47 and 9:47-10:03?
Me too.
magnific, i just missed all my loving and here,there and everywhere.
OH GOD! I love this channel. More great videos - generally brilliant outlook and content. Continue this greatness please!!
Another great video, I really dig the animated lyrics. It looks really good
My favorite Beatles love songs in order:
Real Love
Something
Love You To
Here There And Everywhere
Oh Darling
I Will
If I Fell
Gotta bump that political compass upwards!
Also, after The End, the declare their love to the Queen 😂
Yes and no. Her Majesty was cut out of an earlier spot in the medley and temporarily tacked on at the end. They liked it that way and so it stayed. You can find mixes with the original placement. It's very jarring after all these years.
Poly, great...experience! Good sponsor/ ad placement, better "visuals", best interpretation. You've got a sound mind
I was expecting this video today, thank you
Just now really getting into the Beatles, and I see why they are considered the Greatest. I'm listening chronologically and up to Beatles for Sale, but even in these early days you can tell the innovation. The harmonies are unbelievable, music is catchy, and lyrics are relatable (and I'm not even to the "best" stuff yet!) Great video and channel, keep up the great work!
Also if you want to check out my reviews of the first few Beatles records they are on my channel!
Grateful Alive so I’ve heard!! I’m up through Beatles for Sale and have been very impressed so far, and I’m not even to the “classic” stuff yet!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Thanks for this amazing and informal video!
What the hell? I found this as a recommended video and it didn't show up in my sub feed. Thought I missed one of your early videos... anyway, this was absolutely amazing! I love the way you show the lyrics, hope you do more of that!
Love how you skipped the let it be album. Doesn’t matter though great video!!
For You Blue
it's love you to
not love to you
but other than that, great video!
Thank you for this wonderful video!
Excellently edited I can’t get enough of The Beatles. +1 subscriber
Am I the only person who noticed the audio cut out at 4:33?
I think this may be RUclips just removing Copyrighted materials
i will is a beautiful love song in the white album. criminally short and underrated. anyway, i love this video ❤️ peace and love, my friends.
really well done video, i enjoyed it a lot!
Love this video and the graphics are amazing! Good work
That's another reason why I love The Beatles. Love.....Yes, theres songs like Maxwell's silver hammer, Helter skelter, Piggies, Happiness is a warm gun that are definitely not about love. But overall, Love is what made them an amazing band.
_"If there's _*_one thing_*_ The Beatles did well..."_
You didn't seriously start off by saying that, did you?
I really enjoyed this.
Great work on the text animations. They're engaging and add to your message.
You really outdid yourself with this one! Good job!
