This song hit home personally for me. My older sister who had a very turmoutuous and sometimes violent relationship with my father, threatened my parents that as soon as she turned 18, she'd be leaving home. My Sister kept her word, she left on her Birthday. I remember when my father and mother came home, they were frantic and upset, they couldn't believe it. One day a few years later, I was playing "She's leaving home" in our Basement. My mother who walked by to do laundry, stopped dead in her track, hearing these lyric's in this song. She looked visibly confused and upset. There was a lot of tragedy and dysfunction in my family growing up, and this song highlighted our reality. My older sister is now 69, an old woman who's life was marred with drug addiction, and severe mental illness. Both my parents are dead and gone. Whenever I hear this song, I still cry.
Amber Holmes-Dodge Unfortunately the Beatles needed musicians to interpret their work. George latched on to this and it was he who “wrote” the songs as he was a musician. John Paul George and Ringo were just singers. You could whistle a tune today of anything you want but that doesn’t make you a musician tomorrow. Elton John is another example. He’s not a musician. Those around him are the musicians. Same with Geo Martin. He was the musician for the Beatles! A lot of people idolise “the Product” but have no idea what goes in to making that “Product”. To this day, Paul McCartney admits that he “doesn’t know what the black dots mean”! Says it all.
Two hallmarks of McCartney's amazing voice: 1) his uncanny ability to seamlessly transition between falsetto and true voice; 2) the signature way he hits and holds high crescendo notes.
I can transition easily and I really like singing along because he's got a high tenor range and so do I! So i definitely make myself sound good when I'm singing in my own range with him.

I took english at secondary school, three hours a week for three years. But, for incredible that sounds, did´t learn much. But, The Beatles, The Beatles señores, they were my teachers. Specially with songs like this one, She Is Leaving Home, and many others songs that tells you a story, a beautiful story, with a perfectly clear voice, plus; the lyrics at the back of the album, what else you can ask to life.
Right on, Carlos! That is a very interesting personal take on the Beatles. One of the best things about them is that they are so many things to so many people- my dad had his own journey w the Beatles as it was happening, and now I've been on my own journey for 30 years. You're clearly part of the next generation 👍
yo tambien los considero mis maestros de Ingles/my English teachers! I was singing all the Beatles songs before I speak English..I didn't know what I was singing ...lol
Same here, this one I have in very good memory as an English learning song, even if we hadn't English lessons yet. (being in the fifth grade where I started off with Latin). Another one was Penny Lane, which I presented to our music teacher, who was a real slouch in English, thinking it was about a slot machine. For some reason he believed "lane" meaning "luck", so "penny luck". That's why it says in the second verse: "it's a clean machine" 😂 😂 😂 Unfortunately none of my school mates dug the unintentional gag \_(")_/
Very clever writing here, here's an observation I noticed by myself. The use of the word bye is exploited in this song, as in money can't *buy* struggled hard to get *by* and obviously *bye bye* Genius writing. ✅
mrfester42 I think John was more well known for his word play though, as seen in his songs like 'Please Please Me' 'It Won't Be Long' etc..also his books.
Please permit me to speak oh great one maybe, but it is true that paul used wordplay too more than often. This bye/buy thing can also be seen in junk, just as an example.
They had different singing styles, Paul sang in a much aofter voice in most songs, a few exceptions though. On the other hand, John had a much more raspy voice.
@@cheeseham9503 iant it amazing how they both the best in their craft at songwriting, composing melodies, qnd singing, qnd innovating?

Serviceable voice, but I can think of about half a dozen that are arguably better than him. I mean, Freddie, Elvis, Jim Morrison, and even Joe cocker had better voices.
@@jesusvaldez6702 better than any of the boy band beatles. Jim had a similar color, range and control than Sinatra. While tunes like light my fire could have been sung by anyone other songs (not to touch the earth, the river knows and the ghost song) give you a better idea on the stylistic range he had. while the baetles were very generic melodic voices.
Eu considero essa a melhor música dos beatles, instrumental impecável com instrumentos sinfônicos fraseando no fundo, junto a um vocal melódico e a lírica triste, com lennon fazendo talvez o melhor backing-vocal da banda, dando toques de melancolia e tristeza. De fato minha preferida.
I love how you can really feel the emotions during “why would she treat us so thoughtlessly/ how could she do this to me”, Paul does such a amazing job at portraying the sorrow the mother felt. Makes me cry every time I listen to this song, it’ll forever be one of my favorite Beatles songs
Todo el tema es hermoso, las armonias vocales excelentes de Maccartney y Lennon, los arreglos de cuerdas, la linea melodica etc...una belleza de canción con un tono triste, melancolico pero hermoso.

The Beatles genius hit on every level. Unsurpassed song writing. Innovative and ground breaking stylistic and recording changes. Flawless execution. Vocal harmonies that are hard to describe with words let alone create. The Beatles wrote the equivalent of the pop music bible in roughly seven years. God had his hand in this. No doubt about it. Only nature has this level of perfection.
One of my favourite McCartney songs and probably the second best song on Sgt Pepper. The backing vocals are amazing and the way they’re threaded with what Paul is singing is a pleasure to listen to. Bye bye.
I’m convinced that there is nothing wrong with The Beatles, and their perfection only becomes more evident the closer they are listened to. This recording makes me so happy!
Look, it's pretty amazing and fantastic indeed when i first hear some of The Beatles' songs without musical instruments playing with, or of isolated vocals version ( because i just now listened to "HELP" and then " I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY ", and this is their third song I am listening to ). Thank you very much for sharing it. I love it.
What a beautiful magnificent piece of work. I really appreciate this song more today than ever. Considering I was like 9 years old when it originally came out!!!
I was 13 years old when I went and saw the Beatles when the first came to the USA back in 1964. They will always be "the fab four." No one has come close to the Beatles' talent.
@@mokrodog I know it's amazing right, and then you add the great George Harrison in there, OMG, and Ringo definitely added a great contribution to the band too! No wonder people are still pissing their pants that the Beatles broke up even though it was nearly 50 years ago
Dammit man I almost can't listen to this song without getting all emotional 'n shit! I have a daughter still at home, whom I've loved with all my heart, who just turned 18 😢
I first heard this album from my brother's collection in 1970 when I was in kindergarten. This song made me choke up and cry even at that age. It seem so sad and the arrangement really painted a picture that spoke to me, even in my young mind, unable to understand the deeper implications.
"She's Leaving Home" is an interesting song indeed. It's a bit maudlin & pessimistic on one hand; on the other, I love the characterization of the parents' hypocrisy. The mother personalizes her daughter's desperation and makes it all about herself: "How could she treat us so thoughtlessly? / How could she do this to me?" Then it is followed with, "We never thought of ourselves / Never a thought for ourselves" Ha! Great commentary on the kind of parental selfishness that undoubtedly alienated the girl in the first place, sorta like "Parents- take note."

Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes down the stairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside, she is free
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & (John Lennon)]

Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband, Daddy, our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]

Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

@@jesusvaldez6702 better than any of the boy band beatles. Jim had a similar color, range and control than Sinatra. While tunes like light my fire could have been sung by anyone other songs (not to touch the earth, the river knows and the ghost song) give you a better idea on the stylistic range he had. while the baetles were very generic melodic voices.
Eu considero essa a melhor música dos beatles, instrumental impecável com instrumentos sinfônicos fraseando no fundo, junto a um vocal melódico e a lírica triste, com lennon fazendo talvez o melhor backing-vocal da banda, dando toques de melancolia e tristeza. De fato minha preferida.
Concordo plenamente sobre a voz de John. É de arrepiar.
I love how you can really feel the emotions during “why would she treat us so thoughtlessly/ how could she do this to me”, Paul does such a amazing job at portraying the sorrow the mother felt. Makes me cry every time I listen to this song, it’ll forever be one of my favorite Beatles songs
Always been one of my favorites. Storytelling through song at its finest.
When I was younger, I never liked this song that much. Now, as I grew older, its one of my favorite Beatles songs. Its beautiful
0:53 this is what heaven sounds like
Todo el tema es hermoso, las armonias vocales excelentes de Maccartney y Lennon, los arreglos de cuerdas, la linea melodica etc...una belleza de canción con un tono triste, melancolico pero hermoso.
The two of them worked so well together. Amazing.
Que música maravilhosa! Que vozes, que harmonia! Nota mil para o Paul e John!Que privilégio nosso, ouvi-la!
What a gift to have been an aware 8 year old when these guys came to America. It's so nice to see the resurgent interest in the stories and the music of these special fellows.
Paul's voice is so powerful and haunting.
alias That would be John’s
There goes the usual John fan...can't stand Paul getting any credit since lennon was "martyred"....
@@gretchennelson9965 what's is your problem?
@@gretchennelson9965 that's precisely the phenomenon:
In this tune, Paul's voice is exceptionally just as haunting,
as usualy John's is. Very moving !
@@michaelfrazia4569 Says the typical Paul fan.
I really love this song so much, the voice of Paul sounds so magical ❤❤❤❤❤
Meu Deus ... a voz de John é um acontecimento. Que coisa mais linda! John, Paul... vozes incríveis. Que emoção!!!
Fab 4. Fabulous voice tone, lyrics, music. It's simply a masterpiece.
Great.. specialy John voice is so amazing when i was young i heard this song is really make me know lennon is the best singer ever 💙☮️🌹🥇🥇
John is good but Paul is great.
John is the greatest hands down
Maccas voice was much more flexible than lennons
James Dunn The other way around idiot.
That voice fucking kills me.
At the time of writing this, I'm pretty sure this is the first and only clip I've ever seen on RUclips with zero dislikes. Not surprising really, it's flawless 💙
proved you wrong haha
@@westerling8436 nope, it's still flawless 😉
At this time there's 6 dislikes. I really think they did it because you said there was no dislikes or it's just those people who give dislikes on everything. How can anyone say, no matter what style of music they listen to, say that's bad. Have a great day.
@@2574mcu I know man. I don't trust those 6 people. They're Upto no good 😂 you have a great day too, and we can happily enjoy things without feeling the need to be contrary 👌
Steve B 24 fuckwits have decided that this slice of genius is not up to scratch
Absolutely beautiful. Flawless ❤
This is astonishing. Genius. I am so glad I stumbled upon it.
As others have said, when I was a kid I related to the girl. Now I am a parent....
The Beatles genius hit on every level. Unsurpassed song writing. Innovative and ground breaking stylistic and recording changes. Flawless execution. Vocal harmonies that are hard to describe with words let alone create. The Beatles wrote the equivalent of the pop music bible in roughly seven years. God had his hand in this. No doubt about it. Only nature has this level of perfection.
Paul's voice in the 60s and early 70s was just sublime
One of my favourite McCartney songs and probably the second best song on Sgt Pepper.
The backing vocals are amazing and the way they’re threaded with what Paul is singing is a pleasure to listen to.
Bye bye.
I love that you don’t name the best song on the album as if it’s obvious, which it is
I literally cried, they are always the best
The most beautiful of songs…
truly a splendiferous song. for years it was my fav.
Never noticed the third part of the final
Harmony on “bye” - thanks!
I’m convinced that there is nothing wrong with The Beatles, and their perfection only becomes more evident the closer they are listened to. This recording makes me so happy!
Esas voces les dan un toque Medieval, muy bonitas armonías y el arpa divino, John y Paul verdaderos intérpretes, bellos 💕❤💕❤😜😛🙏👍👍😘😚🥰
Look, it's pretty amazing and fantastic indeed when i first hear some of The Beatles' songs without musical instruments playing with, or of isolated vocals version ( because i just now listened to "HELP" and then " I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY ", and this is their third song I am listening to ). Thank you very much for sharing it. I love it.
Thank you mates God Bless you for the wonderful memories of love Fab 4 forever you will be forever loved
What a beautiful magnificent piece of work. I really appreciate this song more today than ever. Considering I was like 9 years old when it originally came out!!!
John was so attractive
Super Paul und John. Meine Idole seid meinem neunten Lebensjahr, alle fab Four's . Danke aus Deutschland, Ellen 😍
Beautiful what a voice wow xx
Hermosa cancion y una prueba magistral del gran rango de voz de Paul...
Fantastic! Thank you! Request... This Boy, You're Gonna Lose That Girl.
What an amazing voice Paul had, unbelievably young when he wrote this masterpiece.
These vocals only are gorgeous!
I love pictures seeing John and Paul and just thinking the 2 greatest song writers of all time were in the same room more than once.
Wow it is very beautiful I think I need more of this
Absolutely brilliant and this the man who sang Maybe I’m Amazed?
Maybe we should all be
and it’s good to hear the harmonic ‘togetherness ‘
my brain filled in the instrumental parts. it couldn't help itself.
I was named after paul and my brother john love the beatles since i was 7 year old
The art of geniuses.❤️
Paul se superando cada vez mais...
Onde mais esta alma poderá perambular musicalmente...
Fico realmente chocado com tamanha capacidade!!! Bye bye!!!
Essa música é linda, um primor. A voz do PAUL é d+. Amoooo essa banda ! ! !
I was 13 years old when I went and saw the Beatles when the first came to the USA back in 1964. They will always be "the fab four." No one has come close to the Beatles' talent.
i like johns voice on this one
I feel like you can feel John and Paul's friendship just through their voices in the song
It still blows my mind that 2 of the best voices of 20th century meant and were in a band together
@@mokrodog oh dang you're right. What were the chances of that happening?!
@@mokrodog I know it's amazing right, and then you add the great George Harrison in there, OMG, and Ringo definitely added a great contribution to the band too! No wonder people are still pissing their pants that the Beatles broke up even though it was nearly 50 years ago
You too I honestly don’t think we’ll ever get over it.
Thanks so much for posting these Doctor O'B
Dammit man I almost can't listen to this song without getting all emotional 'n shit! I have a daughter still at home, whom I've loved with all my heart, who just turned 18 😢
I first heard this album from my brother's collection in 1970 when I was in kindergarten. This song made me choke up and cry even at that age. It seem so sad and the arrangement really painted a picture that spoke to me, even in my young mind, unable to understand the deeper implications.
Great song by Paul!!
"She's Leaving Home" is an interesting song indeed. It's a bit maudlin & pessimistic on one hand; on the other, I love the characterization of the parents' hypocrisy. The mother personalizes her daughter's desperation and makes it all about herself: "How could she treat us so thoughtlessly? / How could she do this to me?" Then it is followed with, "We never thought of ourselves / Never a thought for ourselves" Ha! Great commentary on the kind of parental selfishness that undoubtedly alienated the girl in the first place, sorta like "Parents- take note."
Timeless; such terrific singers 👍
Unbelievably great song.
00:41 On the original mixdown Paul and John harmonized. That was removed along with the cello bits after the chorus
Amazing harmonies
Simplemente fabuloso, hermoso y extraordinario...
