Such a beautiful song. It always makes me want to cry because this was when the Beatles were breaking up and a huge part of my youth was coming to an end😢. But it is just so lovely to listen to. Great choice 🌺✌️
Lyrics: The long and winding road That leads to your door Will never disappear I've seen that road before It always leads me here Lead me to your door The wild and windy night That the rain washed away Has left a pool of tears Crying for the day Why leave me standing here? Let me know the way Many times, I've been alone And many times, I've cried Anyway, you've never known The many ways I've tried But still, they lead me back To the long, winding road You left me standing here A long, long time ago Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door But still, they lead me back To the long, winding road You left me standing here A long, long time ago Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door
Phil Spector should actually get co writing credit for this version of the song. He took the Beatles’ raw recording and added in the orchestra and choir, and I think the orchestra break is one of the highlights of the song. McCartney didn’t like what Spector did to his original vision, but I think Spector’s arrangement was the final ingredient that made it a tearjerker.

This was a beautiful selection, my daughter. It was as beautiful as you. I loved the look of serenity on your face. It did my heart good to see it. I love you, Onyin, and I look forward to your next reaction. 🙏😊❤️🌹
Hi, dear Onyin ! You reacted to - in my opinion - probably the most beautiful Beatles song of all... and to the LAST Beatles song ever released before they split up, if I remember correctly... and I enjoyed each and every moment of this song and of your reaction to it. Nothing more to say... but - to be frank with you - there is one thing that interests me more than anything else : How is your mother ? Please give us a quick update on your mother's condition. Your last vlog really made me (and all the other subscribers) really worried and concerned. Best wishes : Gerry
Lovely reaction, Onyin!! You don't need any more Beatles suggestions because any song you pick will be awesome to see your reaction!! But since Halloween is approaching I thought I would give you some spooky type of songs to react to, should you wish to do so!! "Werewolf" by The Five Man Electrical Band, "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon, "Spooky" by The Classics IV, "Season of the Witch" by Donovan and "Witch Queen of New Orleans" by Redbone!! Best wishes to you and your family!
Good review, but I think you were listening to an older ''mix'' of the song. The new Giles Martin mix has toned down the orchestral backing and Paul's vocal/piano is highlighted a little more. Makes a great song even greater!
One morning in 1970, this song played on my alarm clock radio and afterwards....the worst news. It was announced, 'The Beatles were no more'. A dreadful day. Meanwhile, Paul hated the Phil Spector's production. This songs, and others, were shelved after the debacle that was the 'Get Back' sessions. John had Phil try and resurrect the tracks with this being one of them....but he didn't seek any input from Paul. Frankly, it is over-the-top schmaltzy, but it does sound really good. It works.
I think George Martin should have done the Let It Be album orchestrations.....he did feel slighted they didn't ask him to do it instead of Phil the-out-work Spector. Martin had earned this right, was known as the "fifth Beatle," and he would have done this justice without going over the top with the choir and loud orchestra. He had worked with the Beatles all through their success, and the orchestra would probably be just strings, no heavy brass, maybe just a solo French Horn, and no choir....and the orchestra & choir would not have drowned out the piano and even McCartney's voice like Phil's "Spector Spectacle" did. Martin always collaborated rather than dictate after their first year or so of recordings. Long and Winding Road was obviously meant to be a soft lullaby kind of song and Phil turned it into a "wall of sound" opera ego trip for him...But John Lennon handed over the tapes to Spector, giving him complete freedom to do the damage, and Lennon had already quit the Beatles, a secret kept from the public for business purposes. So why did Lennon care? Probably because Apple records was gong broke and they needed to release albums to get out of debt and be profitable [I have read a lot of books on this]. But Paul, and the other two have handed the tapes over to George Martin to "fix", had lost interest in the tapes, so it is just as much Paul's and the other two [George and Ringo] fault for not acting on this....it is what it is now.
I know you like Bass singers. There is a Bass singer who did a Beatles song "Blackbird". His name is Geoff, (Jeff) Castallucci. He is good friends with "Home Free's" bass singer Tim Foust. He clones himself many times and harmonizes with the clones.
The song is good, the production is too mushy for my liking. It is a sentimental balad but Spector's wall of sound makes everything a bit too exaggetared. No wonder why Paul hated it...
That mushiness made it one of the Beatles’ biggest hits. I always loved the orchestra and choral arrangements. It made it one of the most unique of their songs. No one ever seemed to have had a problem with it until much later on when it became more known that McCartney didn’t like that version. Okay, it’s not “cool”, and Paul doesn’t like it, but that shouldn’t dictate tastes.
@@geraldobrien7323 I agree with you, even though we might be in the minority. I think the orchestral arrangements give it a fullness that really makes the song moving and beautiful.
The Naked version of this song is much better. Phil Spector really dropped the ball on producing this track. And Paul hated this version. I definitely recommend listening to the Naked version.
I love the addition of choir and strings - it adds such sentimentality which is I guess why McCartney didn't want it there. I prefer myself the Spector interpretation. Both though of course are wonderful.
@@harlech52 well Paul wrote it as basically his farewell to the beetle era that he was in. It was his breakup song of you will. Nobody told him anything about Phil Spector completely saturating his song with all those overtones and undertones.
@@harlech52 Yes, I love the Phil Spector version. All the orchestra and choir arrangements were the final ingredients that made it a tearjerker, and it’s exactly what made it one of their biggest hits. No one ever had a problem with it until it became more widely known that McCartney didn’t like what Spector did with it. I love Paul’s work, but I disagree with him here. C’mon, that instrumental break is absolutely gorgeous.
One of the greatest songs ever written, without doubt.
The lasting beauty of this song is the orchestration. Horns, strings, so beautiful when and where they were added. A masterpiece.
Such a beautiful song. It always makes me want to cry because this was when the Beatles were breaking up and a huge part of my youth was coming to an end😢. But it is just so lovely to listen to. Great choice 🌺✌️
Such a heartfelt perspective!
I played this at my late husband's funeral service. What a tear jerker. He loved the Beatles. I miss him.
A love song without ever saying I love you...extremely creative
Absolutely 👍
Lyrics:
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way
Many times, I've been alone
And many times, I've cried
Anyway, you've never known
The many ways I've tried
But still, they lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still, they lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
the most beautiful song
Masterpiece!
IMHO, A Masterpiece.

Arranging credit yes co-writer no
Estoy perfectamente de acuerdo contigo.
Actually, Specter farmed it out to another arranger.

I enjoyed watching your reaction to this beautiful Beatles song, and you looked so beautiful yourself with a love smile on your face and in your eyes.

Beautiful, songs not bad either😏

true
I always loved what Phil Spector did to this song.

Paul does a great version with Wings live, and George Michael does a great cover.
