Man, I wish they'd stop blocking the Beatles on RUclips. New generations need to be able to hear these songs, to understand why they are so highly esteemed. Without exposure, it's possible that for most of the public, they'll become a historical footnote. Thanks for doing this one, Cliff.
Lmao everyones heard of the Beatles ..I'm 24 ..I've always been aware of them even tho I didn't start listening till this year ...there's not one human over 12 that's not heard of them dw
@@kellyslatter3032 True, but to listen to their music now you have to search for it. I'm old enough that I know the words for just about everything they did. We heard it all on the radio all the time.
@@kellyslatter3032 Heard of them, yes. Since 12. But as you also said, you didn't start listening to them till you were 24. That's what I'm saying: of course people will continue to hear the name The Beatles, but as time keeps going on, people will gradually stop hearing the music so often, till it's rare, then eventually, they just become a name... a historical footnote. And like Bach, or Glenn Miller, or B.B. King, people will know the name, but not really know why.
I'm a huge Beatles fan. I had a Beatles wedding, using majority John Lennon and Beatles songs. I had this song in my wedding when the parents were walked out to their seats. Last year, when my son got married, he and I walked out to this song because he escorted me to my chair prior to the bride entering. It was amazing.
The bridge of this song sounds like a harpsichord, but it’s actually a piano part recorded at half speed played by their producer, George Martin. I always loved that part
Paul woke up one morning with the whole of the melody for Yesterday in his head. He was certain he had heard it somewhere else, but when he played it to other people they confirmed that it was an original and that he had effectively written it in his sleep. The original working title/placeholder was "scrambled eggs" before he before he landed on the word "yesterday"
I like how you think man. Very knowledgeable to music and open minded. To your mother, so sad our sweet animals have to leave us. Hope you're feeling better now.
Greatest and most prolific band in music history. I'm a sixties' child who grew up on The Beatles, and many of their songs have taken on new meaning over the years. This one makes me weep.
My favorite Beatles song ever. The first songs I ever heard, learned to sing, or to play. I hope when it's my time to go, I go listening to them. Thanks 👍
This song.... played it when my mom died because it was her favorite song EVER.... and will have it played when I die... for the same reason. This and Ringo's "Photograph"... yeah, they get me every single time.
Thank you CLIFF for reacting to "IN MY LIFE" it holds a lot of memories for me and is very special to me for several reasons. You are right about life. At 76 my life has just flown by, and quite frankly, the Beatles had a very huge impact on my life several important ways. Their music helped me get through my life in happy, sad and especially in very difficult times "in my life." I want to have their version of "In My Life" played at my funeral.
Rubber Soul and Revolver were 2 incredible albums back to back, showing the Beatles progression from standard early 60s pop rock to more creative stuff. Rubber Soul was The Pot Album and Revolver was the Acid Album. It got wilder with Sgt Pepper, but this was the beginning of the transformation.
Hard to believe you haven't heard this song before, it's absolutely iconic. And yes, the best group ever. This is John Lennon's composition, my favorite Beatle. I bought this album (mono back then) the day it was released.
The song that came to McCartney in a dream was Yesterday. He kept playing riffs from it and asking people what it was. Since no one knew it, he finally realized that he had created it. Let It Be, was inspired by a visit from his dead mother in a dream, but I'm not sure that the melody came to him in the dream.
Time is a flyer that's for sure. It took forever to reach 30 years old, but it really flew by from then ,im now 62 .You are right this is a beautiful song , I was very young when the Beatles hit the scene ,but remember them from hearing my mums radio every day ..
Every component of this song is a masterful example of genius. Listen to the drum pattern. Who else besides Ringo would have come up with such an outstanding pattern. Perhaps that's why he was regarded as the best rock drummer in the world.
Glad I got here in time to see this. Great reaction. Something just happened to all of us worth remembering when we heard it, every time too Brother!💯🙏
My high school graduation song! (1980). My best friend and I would sing Beatles songs and fight over who got to sing the melody. We still sing together 40+ years later. ‘Two of Us’ is an amazing song with great harmonies as well. Glad you finally listened to your dad! 👏🏼
"...Kids in the park, Don't take long before I'm laughing along with them. Almost makes me wish those times could come again. Get's me feeling good, and yet sad at the same time..." NEIL DIAMOND
Yesterday (originally scrambled eggs until he wrote real lyrics to the dreamt melody) and Let it be (his mother Mary told him in a dream to let your troubles go, let it be) are the 2 songs Paul just woke up with the song or at least the melody in his head.
I have always gotten the same vive from this song. It makes me melancholy and I start reminiscing. Sorry about your mother's dog. I recently lost my twin brother and two cats within a few months of each other. They all died due to illness. I was very close to my brother and one off those cats was my soulmate animal. I rescued that cat when he was a feral kitten living on the streets. That cat slept cuddled up to me every night for almost. 12 years. He was like my child. And So, I can certainly relate to your mother's sense of loss.I am struggling to cope with these three losses.
John was a great poet, I still remember where I was and what I was doing when the news came on the radio that he was no longer with us. I am a Queenie and Brian May had a fever dream, out came the "Prophet's Song".- Thank you and I feel your Mom's pain ❣❣
This song hits hard with me, I was bottled on The Beatles by my Mum and back in 2002 about 3 weeks before she died, she told me that this was the song she wanted playing at her funeral, the family went with another Beatles song and was wasn’t strong enough too fight for her wishes, to this day I’m still gutted about it.
Much love Cliff you know I'm normally here for the hip hop and beatboxing but this one here brought me back to memories of my momma. happy tears of course. . I just want you to know that you pulled me out of some dark places bud. I appreciate what you do for all of us .🖤
And John Lennon was only 24 when he wrote this song... A man with a lot of emotion and clever wordplay to express those emotions. Oh yes... the song your Dad remembered that Paul dreamt of, was Yesterday... he had the chords and melody in his head when he woke up and he thought that it must have been a song he had already heard... so he went around asking a load of people as he played them the rough chords... and of course everyone was saying nope, don't know that so it eventually became his song Yesterday. Oh yes... becuase he didn;t have lyrics at the beginning, the working title for the song was Scambled Eggs... Try it and see, sing scrambled eggs in place of Yesterday... it works.
Ringos drums. Just gently swinging all the way through. Psychedelia begins here too. Note the distorted album cover, this was 1965! They're just hinting at it here with Norwegian Woods sitar and George's brilliant If I Needed Someone. No hiding it on the next album Revolver. With Tommorow Never Knows they kicked open the doors of perception and went full psyche madness. No one had ever heard anything like it. The Beatles led, everybody else followed
Hugs to your mom sorry she lost her dog. My mother first brought home 2 Beatles records (this one & Beatles VI) when I was about 6. I didn't like them at first, but then I played them at 45 rpm (instead of 33) and they sounded like the Chipmunks, so then I started liking them afterwards... even at normal speed.
They were big innovators, many of the techniques, that were taken for granted later, were first done by them. They weren't the only ones. And of course, there's the really prolific song writing thing.😂
Many fans mistakenly think they are hearing a harpsichord, but it’s George Martins genius to play on a piano and sped up the playback to give it that sound
Enjoyed your commentary (suscribed). The Beatles "bent music" and you will find your Beatles journey - especially with youyr background - enlightening. I saw them at the Indiana State Fair in 66 when I was 12 . You could barely hear them with all screaming and lousy stage equipment. Correct - McNartney would have dreams and come up with songs in his head. As you noted Let It Be was one as the Beatles were going through the break-up and his most famous (most covered song ever) Yesterday. There songs/melodies will live forever.
Cliff, John and Paul had a rule: if they could still remember a song they started working on geeked out of their minds after passing out and sobering up, it was a winner. If they couldn’t, it went in the trash. Love ya, C.
If we wanted to send something into space in the hope it would persuade someone out there that we are capable of transcendent things, this would be it.
Note when listening to 1960's stereo mixes. As they generally only had 4 tracks to mix, they had basically no choice but to pan some of the tracks hard left or hard right to create the stereo picture , otherwise it would sound very very similar to mono. and not have the stereo separation. However, vocals were normally in the centre, Rubber Soul was mixed a bit differently.
This was a John Lennon song. You should really check out his songs "Nowhere Man" and "Girl". "Rubber Soul" is one of those iconic albums in the history of popular music. This is the one that Lennon called the "Pot album" and you can really hear it in the contrast of their previous albums.. This was released on December 3, 1965 and in the same day they released a double A-side single "Day Tripper"/"We Can work It Out". Who does that? Especially in 1965. Both songs quickly shot to #1 on both the Billboard charts here in the US and also in the UK. Both are great songs and shows just how great they were. Their song "Yesterday" written by McCartney and was relegated to side two of their previous Lp "Help" released on August 6, 1965 and has gone on too be the most covered song in history with as of now has had over 2,200 artist that have recorded a cover of the song. Let that number sink in for a moment. McCartney actually dreamt the melody of the song one night. He thought he had to have heard it somewhere because you just don't dream things up like that. He hawked it around everywhere around to friends and people in the industry (and in 1965 he probably knew a lot of people) and no one had ever heard it before. Funny how genius can hit some people in odd moments. He was only 23 when he wrote this song. In late 1968 The Beatles were starting have a great deal of friction between them and one night his beloved mother "Mary" who died of breast cancer when he was just 14, came to him in a dream. He loved The Beatles and was very upset where things were heading. She appeared to him and told him you can't worry about everything and just have to "Let It Be". Lennon also has a few songs that came to him in his sleep. He said that with "Nowhere Man" he sat up in bed and made his way over to a piano and it was all there, both the melody and lyrics. That's almost spooky. Peace ❤
Talking about the dog made me think that you would really enjoy Martha my dear if you haven’t listened to it. Paul wrote it for his dog and it’s even more beautiful knowing that.
I’m excited for you starting off this journey with The Beatles… similar story as you with my dad, except it did click with me and I’ve been a devotee for 30 of my 35 years. Can’t wait to see more! Oh also, Edit: Keep in mind most of their music through their final album was recorded on four tracks…
Beatles songs of recommend checking out: Yesterday Black bird Eleanor Rigby (which a lot of people sleep on but is one of my favorite Beatles songs) Strawberry Fields
The song I've heard that Paul dreamt about is Let it be. I think he said he dreamt his mother came to him and said those words, 'Let it be'. This in context to the troubles he had going on at the time.
So glad that this didn't get blocked. I obviously don't know if you tried other songs, or how many, but keep plugging away at The Beatles. It's so important for your generation to be exposed to the genius that is The Beatles. There's no way to overemphasize how important they were to music. Enjoy the wonderful rabbit hole, Cliff. And my sincere condolences to your mother about the dog. I'm sure she gave it a long and loving life but that doesn't ease the pain. Just thinking about my dog in that context makes me start tearing up.
Rubber Soul is the album that catapulted the Beatles into a stratosphere all their own.... In My Life is a "John" song.... for a great "Paul" song from this album try "Drive My Car"
Paul McCartney is the 2nd wealthiest musician, and unlike the others on the list, his wealth came mainly from the 19th century when prices were a lot lower, no mtv, no internet, just them and record sales. Of course some of it came in the 20th century, but the majority of it came from their early work, before American Idol. Starting in a basement bar in Liverpool.
This is a classic. I guess a lot of the Beatles songs are. Let it be is a good one. Sorry to hear about your mom's dog. Loss of a pet is hard... went through a few of them in my lifetime. Hope all is well, Cliff. ❣🙏
Most likely, the song your dad was referring to was yesterday. The music came to Paul in a dream and he was using the word scrambled eggs instead of yesterday in the beginning.
You really need to check out the Beatles' "I Want You, She's So Heavy." Lead singer is John Lennon. It's a fantastic song. Another song I recommend is "Taxman." Lead singer is George Harrison. George hated paying taxes.
Good reaction, dude. Yeah, bittersweet. So sorry about your mom's dog. Somehow, losing a dog actually hurts more than losing a person. BTW, Chisox blow, Twins rule.
This was voted the #1 rock song of the 20th Century.
Man, I wish they'd stop blocking the Beatles on RUclips. New generations need to be able to hear these songs, to understand why they are so highly esteemed. Without exposure, it's possible that for most of the public, they'll become a historical footnote. Thanks for doing this one, Cliff.
TOTALLY AGREE!!! THAT'S how we keep the BEATLES MUSIC RELEVANT AND OUT THERE!

@@kellyslatter3032 True, but to listen to their music now you have to search for it. I'm old enough that I know the words for just about everything they did. We heard it all on the radio all the time.

I cannot imagine what my life would have been like without the music of the Beatles…
People will be listening to the Beatles in 100 years from now... truly.... how many bands can you really say that about?
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
What a powerful song in avg 3 min !! To make your mind, travel back to so many places ! In 3 min !!
Beatles music never die.. never fades. They are great lyricists and musicians.
Dude, you get it. Thanks. I remember buying the album. You captured the heart and soul of this tune. Well done.
This song will be played at my memorial. Says everything.
Was played at my dad's ❤ beautiful song 🎵 ❤️
Also at my funeral
Man, I love this song. I love the Beatles when they do these slower, more reflective songs.
The bridge of this song sounds like a harpsichord, but it’s actually a piano part recorded at half speed played by their producer, George Martin. I always loved that part
I just learned something new today.
"In My Life" inspired pop music producers to use harpsichords in their arrangements.
George Martin saw it and done it. Without him… a different story
John was 25 when he wrote this masterpiece.
Amazing
Paul claims some of the credit.
@@binxbolling why did he make the tea
@@Sniffer-NUFC wut?
@@binxbollingPaul suggests putting in the harpsichord because John couldn’t find the middle part 😊
Paul woke up one morning with the whole of the melody for Yesterday in his head.

The original working title/placeholder was "scrambled eggs" before he before he landed on the word "yesterday"
This is one of their most beautiful songs, another is Here, There, and Everywhere. Beautiful melody and lyrics.
This is my all time favourite song! John and Paul wrote this in their 20s.. absolutley insane
The greatest band ever! Will never be equalled.
Cliff you're a real one. Thanks brother.
Everything is new, everything is like angels melodies and harmonies, everything is perfect, everything is real and deep: it's Beatles.
Best band ever to come together!!!
I like how you think man. Very knowledgeable to music and open minded.
To your mother, so sad our sweet animals have to leave us. Hope you're feeling better now.
Greatest and most prolific band in music history. I'm a sixties' child who grew up on The Beatles, and many of their songs have taken on new meaning over the years. This one makes me weep.
Ringo's drumming is crazy good in this one. He really brings out the best in a beautiful song.
Still the top selling musicians of all time.
Anyone taking time to share Beatles with the world deserves a like and a subscribe.
True about Paul’s dreams ( Yesterday), but John wrote and sang this.
This 1 of my all time favorite Beatles songs! ❤
Same here

It's hard to pick a favorite Beatles album but this is towards the top for me.
@@robmcgrath5202 me too.
Those 2 are my top 2 Beatles albums. It's really hard for me to pick my absolute favorite, but I think I like Revolver a bit better currently.
The English original albums, “Beatles for Sale”, for example.
Hard Days Night , Help , Rubber Soul , Revolver and Sgt Pepper . Utterly perfect
Yesterday was a dream, especially the melody.
This is one their best
Hard to believe you haven't heard this song before, it's absolutely iconic. And yes, the best group ever. This is John Lennon's composition, my favorite Beatle. I bought this album (mono back then) the day it was released.

Being from Liverpool, love the fact you’ve done this

Hugs to your mom sorry she lost her dog.
My mother first brought home 2 Beatles records (this one & Beatles VI) when I was about 6. I didn't like them at first, but then I played them at 45 rpm (instead of 33) and they sounded like the Chipmunks, so then I started liking them afterwards... even at normal speed.
I live in Liverpool where they are from massive part of this city to this day
more Beatles ...great reactipn
The song hat Paul awoke humming was "Yesterday".
Do more Beatles song bro it's amazing their musical evolution in only about 8 years i gave only 32 years old and it's my favorite band
Thanks Cliff! Happy YT is releasing your content! Hope your doing good, and take care.
Yes, this was a test run to see if I can upload yet. New videos resume tomorrow morning 😊
They were big innovators, many of the techniques, that were taken for granted later, were first done by them. They weren't the only ones. And of course, there's the really prolific song writing thing.😂
I love how you're checking if your headphone is working at the beginning as the intro is basically only played in the left stereo channel. :D

Let it Be is one of the dreams Paul McCartney had. His mom had passed away. She came to him in his dream.

Both are great songs and shows just how great they were. Their song "Yesterday" written by McCartney and was relegated to side two of their previous Lp "Help" released on August 6, 1965 and has gone on too be the most covered song in history with as of now has had over 2,200 artist that have recorded a cover of the song.

Please react to the Beatles "Don't Let Me Down" official video on the rooftop... Very enjoyable
Talking about the dog made me think that you would really enjoy Martha my dear if you haven’t listened to it. Paul wrote it for his dog and it’s even more beautiful knowing that.
If you haven’t yet, you need to check out “A Day In The Life”. It is arguably one of their best pieces of music history.
The song "Let It Be" was one that he dreamt. FYI his mother's name was Mary.
Try Helter Skelter from the Beatles
This song is covered lovingly by Judy Collins on her 1966 album "In My Life".
I’m excited for you starting off this journey with The Beatles… similar story as you with my dad, except it did click with me and I’ve been a devotee for 30 of my 35 years. Can’t wait to see more!
Oh also, Edit:
Keep in mind most of their music through their final album was recorded on four tracks…
Good comments!…on the most amazing Beatles song!
Beatles songs of recommend checking out:
Yesterday
Black bird
Eleanor Rigby (which a lot of people sleep on but is one of my favorite Beatles songs)
Strawberry Fields
The song I've heard that Paul dreamt about is Let it be. I think he said he dreamt his mother came to him and said those words, 'Let it be'. This in context to the troubles he had going on at the time.
And yesterday
Paul remembered his dreams resulting in Yesterday and Let it Be while John dreamed Nowhere Man after falling asleep while trying to write a song
So glad that this didn't get blocked. I obviously don't know if you tried other songs, or how many, but keep plugging away at The Beatles. It's so important for your generation to be exposed to the genius that is The Beatles. There's no way to overemphasize how important they were to music. Enjoy the wonderful rabbit hole, Cliff.
And my sincere condolences to your mother about the dog. I'm sure she gave it a long and loving life but that doesn't ease the pain. Just thinking about my dog in that context makes me start tearing up.
Rubber Soul is the album that catapulted the Beatles into a stratosphere all their own.... In My Life is a "John" song.... for a great "Paul" song from this album try "Drive My Car"
As with Beethoven, Mozart, etc., much Beatles work is stuff I would describe as crafted: everything where it needs to be.
Paul McCartney is the 2nd wealthiest musician, and unlike the others on the list, his wealth came mainly from the 19th century when prices were a lot lower, no mtv, no internet, just them and record sales. Of course some of it came in the 20th century, but the majority of it came from their early work, before American Idol. Starting in a basement bar in Liverpool.
This is a classic. I guess a lot of the Beatles songs are. Let it be is a good one. Sorry to hear about your mom's dog. Loss of a pet is hard... went through a few of them in my lifetime. Hope all is well, Cliff. ❣🙏
The beatles are legendary ❤ xx awk a hope MamaBeats is ok xx big hugs love and positivity ❤🐢❤ xx
Most likely, the song your dad was referring to was yesterday. The music came to Paul in a dream and he was using the word scrambled eggs instead of yesterday in the beginning.
Check out "Girl" on this LP.
Just commenting ❤
You really need to check out the Beatles' "I Want You, She's So Heavy." Lead singer is John Lennon. It's a fantastic song. Another song I recommend is "Taxman." Lead singer is George Harrison. George hated paying taxes.
Good reaction, dude. Yeah, bittersweet. So sorry about your mom's dog. Somehow, losing a dog actually hurts more than losing a person. BTW, Chisox blow, Twins rule.
