Written and sung by John Lennon. Recorded over several days in mid July 1969. Roughly 5 weeks before the Beatles, as a working band, ceased to exist. John Lennon's final masterpiece with the Beatles. Come Together reached #1 in the charts in early November. 1969. Paul McCartney's contribution to Come Together cannot be overstated. His bass playing sets the groove , his harmony vocal is unique. He is also credited for writing the electric piano solo. RNB
Even though Paul is sometimes credited with the piano solo it’s been stated by many including George Martin and Geoff Emmerick that John didn’t like what Paul was doing with the Piano solo so John took over and rewrote the solo and completely did it himself. Again it’s just a few of the people close to them that stated that so maybe I’m wrong but I wouldn’t doubt it.
@@madcircle0461 I did see a clip of Lennon trying to remember the chord progression that Paul was playing in this song so he could do it himself instead. It sounded like he didn't want Paul playing piano on the song at all. I know the both of them were not getting along too well at the time...
What's amazing about The Beatles is how experimental and progressive they were with their music through their careers but never really mis-stepped at any point. Something genius in those four boys.
Yes. And what most everyone fails to realize is that She loves you, Please pleas me etc in ‘62-63 Were totally new sounds never before recorded by any band, ever, and were just as revolutionary for their time...which is why they exploded, culturally and musically-and the rest is history.
What is so great about "the Lads" is that they had not just one, not two but THREE great song writers in the band!! John Lennon and Paul McCartney are the perennial powerhouses for the band, starting from their earliest work. However, right around 1965 - 66, Mr. George Harrison started to step up and get some great songs written and he put the world on notice! Then, in 1968 through 1970, he just brought the brilliance to the table and blew people way with songs like "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun"! The Beatles were an alchemy of 4 distinct and super-talented young men who found each other and took over the world! Period, end of story. The story of The Beatles, and the incredible music they created, is one for the books, baby. You should continue your trip down the Rabbit Hole!! By the way, "Come Together" was sung by John, with Paul on backing vocals.
People seem to forget that John and Paul wrote songs together and separately. George started writing songs around 1964. But all four could sing lead vocals, which is unusual in most bands that tend to have one lead vocalist, like The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. That's why The Beatles never get old: They constantly evolved in their songwriting and instrumentation. They led the way and everyone else followed. No one else could touch them in terms of quality and output!
Hey brother, I agree this song is so unique This was John singing lead, Paul harmonies and it came out in the late 60's on the Abby Road album. Ever since I heard this song back in the day, it struck me and has remained my favorite Beatle song. I'm a musician and I've heard so many songs by so many people, still to this day, I've never heard anyone approach song writing with their level of freedom. It's like they rewrote the rules on song writing structure, whatever they did worked. Drums in the verses without cymbals, who does that? Great reaction. Much love.
Yep, this was John's song and lead vocal. John always loved that rough 1950's rock and roll. The recording is still rough, not a lot of overruns or polish to it. Come together was John taking an old Chuck Berry song and slowing it down a bit.
Fact , Lennon did his own harmonies on this , looks like Paul but isn t , history says that Paul was anxious when Lennon was recording vocals like saying , when im gonna sing....when im gonna sing
It's funny that you should mention about the cymbals. I'm also a musician so I get what you mean. I've listened to a lot of '60's music and there seems to be very little use of cymbals throughout a lot of music from then. Ringo sounds like the only drummer who loved his cymbals!
You have to remember "The Beatles" set the target for every band that came after them, and no matter how hard any band tried, not even Led Zeppelin, ever achieved their success. The Beatles were the band that gave the rest their chance at success.
The closest Beatles song to this is "I Am The Walrus" for sheer weirdness. Also, "Here Comes The Sun" is a true classic. As for the Beatles, there is just no substitute for talent and genius.
Each Beatle has said (in later interviews after the breakup) that this was one of their favorite days playing together in the studio. The playing was on point and the vibe was 🔥. The positive energy is palpable.
No, this was John singing the lead, he's on harmony. I am a 74 year old Beatles fan since I was 16 and heard "I Want to Hold Your Hand" on the radio the day after Christmas in 1963 (that was the day it was released, I was IMMEDIATELY HOOKED and have been a fan ever since. SO wonderful to see you getting into the Beatles. You should listen to ALL their albums in the order they were released as they were when those of us were teens in 1964. Their recording years AS A GROUP started in 1962 through 1970. Just 8 short years and you need to hear how their music and lyrics EVOLVED from their first album "PLEASE PLEASE ME" to their FINAL ALBUMS "LET IT BE" and "ABBEY ROAD" THAT is why they are SO GOOD, they did all sorts of styles of music.....they never stayed the same. We NEVER knew WHAT their next album or single was going to SOUND LIKE. ENJOY your journey into the Beatles! You will discover that it is hard to pick any ONE FAVORITE SONG,
John Lennon sang lead on this one. Also, he came up with it and Paul really loved it and came up with the epic bass line and between Ringo's drumming, Paul's bass line and John's lead vocals, it was phenomenal.
Billy Preston plays keyboard on this and alot of other songs. Most people don't know about him being sometimes referred to as the 5th Beatle. He plays on the rooftop recordings. You can catch glimpses of him in the background. I think the cameras made it a point to not draw attention to him. He has some really good riffs to his credit.
Have a go at listening back to back to While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun and Martha My Dear to get an appreciation of how complimentary Harrison, McCartney and Lennon were; then, try and stop as the bass of I'm So Tired kicks in then try and stop again as the first tones of Blackbird start ringing then reset to Love Me Do.
This song is special because of a reason that doesn't get mentioned much. This song has the best example of John Lennon's "Nonsense" writing style. He usually used that style in his psychedelic songs but here he uses it in a bluesy rocker and gives us a master class in the style. The lyrics here are mostly gibberish, but they tie around this mysterious figure around who we must all "come together". Lennon was able to write lyrics that seemingly make no sense, but magically impart a message. It's genius, no other songwriter pulled this off as well as he did.
I just found this on RUclips. I am 68 years old and envious of you. I get a kick out of watching you discover each new Beatles song. We all had the same reaction back in the day. While they became evermore sophisticated, don't discount their very earliest music. They put the BA co beat back into music. Even their earliest music is much more musically sophisticated than one might realize on your first listen.
"Come Together" is a John Lennon song, and you can really tell the difference between them stylistically. Paul typically sings ballads (Yesterday, Hey Jude) and old-timey sounding songs, John generally sings the rockers and off-the-wall weird stuff. My favorite Beatles song could very well be a tie between "Here There and Everywhere" and "I am the Walrus", which is Paul at his most ballad-y and John at his weirdest respectively.
This was John singing. He wrote the lyrics and he wrote a couple books of crazy poetry that many of us know. George also sang lead on some sings as did Ringo.
Paul McCartney NAILS the bass on this one, and the song would be nothing without Ringo's drumming. Speaking of Ringo and drumming. You need to check out 'Tomorrow Never Knows' and 'Love You to'
Beatles with an edge: "Paperback Writer", "Taxman", "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", "Revolution", "Don't Let Me Down", "I Me Mine". "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" brings the heavy groove too. A sequence of Beatles songs that highlight different sounds in order from early to late: "Twist and Shout", "I'll Follow The Sun", "A Hard Day's Night", "Ticket To Ride", "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite", "Baby, You're A Rich Man", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Hey Bulldog", "You Never Give Me Your Money", "I've Got A Feeling". Savor the journey of discovering the Beatles, we're all jealous watching you do it for the first time!
Listen to how intricate and yet how discreet Ringo's percussion parts are. People talk crap about Ringo because he's not John Bonham or someone like that, but his playing always services the song, it's never for showing off (except for the drum solo in The End, which the other Beatles had to cajole out of him.)
The Beatles had such cred that they could put a delicate sound together, almost nothing on paper, but it had such impact. This song and album is 53 years old. I see you falling right into it. Heheh... That first hearing is gold. In the words of all us old recovering hippies.... Dig it. Great natural reaction to a small four piece band from a small seaside town. The residents of that small town called themselves Liverpudlians.
During an appearance on 'The Late Show', host Stephen Colbert asked: "You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life. What is it?" In response, Ringo said: "'Come Together'. "There’s lots of other favorites, but if you want one, ‘Come Together’ can’t be bad. I just think it worked perfectly with the band and the song and John being John. I loved that moment."
This is why the beatles were so influential and popular, they were not ahead of their time as many believe, because for me they had no time. They pioneered so much and created music that fits in any time. This is the key to why I think they are the best band of all time, they have influenced so many music genres and other artists and had no obvious style, they just created music and much of it doesnt fit into any one genre.
Come Together is amazing, first released in September 1969. The lead-off track of Abbey Road, I had first heard other acts doing it and liked it. When I realized The Beatles did it first, I was floored. Blown away. Doing the “Wayne’s World “ ‘We’re Not Worthy’ bow.
HB, the Abby Road album, that this song comes from, is a KEEPER!! It is brilliant and incredible from start to finish! Some of the best Pop and Rock songs ever written are on this album!
It does not matter what the lyrics mean. It could mean anything or nothing but it is one of the all time coolest songs ever. John sang this one with Paul doing harmony.
What makes this song stand out in the Beatle’s catalogue is its “funkiness” , the Beatles didn’t make much “funky” music , but this one covers that base.
John Lennon sang lead for this song. He's my favorite. Paul McCartney sang lead on Let It Be. You'll get to the point where you can pick out who is singing. You should make sure to do a couple of their songs that Ringo and George sang lead. They're all fantastic.
The song is amazingly original, just in the sounds it uses, but the execution, both singing and guitars is masterful. They are in complete control; everything is perfect.
For those of us who have lived our entire lives knowing of The Beatles' existence, it must be weird seeing these surprised reactions. It never fails to surprise me. Like, yeah dude it's The fuckin' Beatles!
Subscribed to you earlier today and have now watched all of your Beatles reactions. Saved this one for last. You now have only about 200 more songs to go. Next up..While my guitar gently weeps, something, revolution, long and winding road, Oh Darling, blackbird then after these are done I'll offer up some more lol. So glad to see these reactions. THANK YOU
This is one of my favourite Beatles songs. Two others off of the Revolver album that I think you would like are Tomorrow Never Knows and She Said She Said. Tomorrow Never Knows is really trippy and cool.🌼✌🇨🇦
If you like the groove on this one, then check out "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles, I bet you'll dig it. Other great ones are "Something" and "Hey Bulldog". Although really, all of their songs are great in their own way. Peace
You should look into the story of these guys! They have a whole anthology documentary. They went from rags to riches. Both Paul and John lost a parental figure at an early age. George grew up poor, Ringo had the most ordinary childhood of the four but he isnt even the original drummer of the beatles. He came on in 63' shortly after love me do. He was the best possible fit, he was already a seasoned professional for the younger beatles to look up to. This whole album was 🔥 because they knew their time as the beatles were coming to an end or at least going to be changing drastically.
The "original" was, "He got meat down to his knees," . The suits and squares effed it up. They changed "meat" to "feet". BTW it was the goat John Lennon
John Lennon and Paul McCartney are credited as co-writers on most Beatles songs. George Harrison wrote a few songs, mostly later in the Beatles time together. Lennon/McCartney co-write is more a relic of their early period where they really did co-write songs. As time progressed, Lennon and McCartney wrote songs separately and stuck with the co-write credit. Among the songs you've listened to so far, Come Together is a Lennon song. Yesterday, Hey Jude, and Let It Be were McCartney songs. A Day in the Life is a true Lennon/McCartney co-write. Generally speaking, the guy who wrote the song sang it.
The Beatles are not a rabbit hole, they're a black hole. Once you're in, you never come out.
AMEN!!!!
Nice 😊 👍
And I've never wanted to leave either
Perfectly stated. ❤️
Ooh... So sweetly put!!!
Every Beatles song is like nothing ever heard before. Endless creativity.
This song is sung & written by JOHN LENNON. The Founder of The Beatles.
They are the greatest of all time. No words can explain
the Beatles will always stand alone as the greatest. no ifs and or buts
"My new favorite Beatles song". Get ready to say that at least 20 more times.
Paul has the smoothest goddamned rock bass line in history right here. You can feel the James Jamerson all over it.
Kudos to you for the James jamerson reference!

This banger has some of Ringo's best drumming.
Yes that's some serious drumming.
And amazing base playing from Paul!! Wild song all the way!!

They made "I am The Walrus" just to confound and confuse all the people who kept trying to figure out the meaning of their songs.
And probably a fair amount of psychedelic drugs too lol
And Strawberry Fields

@@ppaulisdeadd i dont really see how its a comparison. that outro almost sounds like slayer
“You never give me your money” is a song on this album people sleep on and is also a banger.

Another great song. Well they are all great!
Billy Preston plays keyboard on this and alot of other songs. Most people don't know about him being sometimes referred to as the 5th Beatle. He plays on the rooftop recordings. You can catch glimpses of him in the background. I think the cameras made it a point to not draw attention to him. He has some really good riffs to his credit.
Cool thing with the new Get Back documentary is that Billy Preston is definitely getting his credit in the public eye now.
You need to check out ‘She said, She said’ off of their album Revolver.
Second that. One of my favorites EVER.
Revolver was my introduction to the Beatles. I loved every single song.
Have a go at listening back to back to While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun and Martha My Dear to get an appreciation of how complimentary Harrison, McCartney and Lennon were; then, try and stop as the bass of I'm So Tired kicks in then try and stop again as the first tones of Blackbird start ringing then reset to Love Me Do.
Usually, the singer is the author and that's true here too. This was John Lennon.
If you don't like this song?You don't know music. Is great quote.
"Everybody's Got Something to Hide" is another Beatles banger....
Yes!!.... except me and my monkey🎼
@S A haha
One of John's highly underrated songs on that album.
This is one of there best tracks ever love baseline on it too
Dude there are tons of Beatles songs you'd love. Always enjoy your reaction. 👌
Paul's bass playing on the song is excellent.. the song is amazing. Check out"Rain" song Maybe on the next Beatles reaction. :)
You don't have one favourite Beatle song. It's impossible! You have a favourite for different moods, different occasions, different days.....
This is John Lennon lead singing on this song, not Paul.
Yeah you're just scratching the surface. Tomorrow Never Knows will melt your brain.
That was John Lennon singing with Paul doing backup vocals sometimes only one or two words out of a sentence like Walrus Gumboot.
You got your mind blown next song you should hear is Eleanor Rigby
Elanor Rigby, the only song they wrote but didn't play a single instrument.
Also Lady Madonna.

The vocals on this sounded so fresh and clean and the timing was sharp and syncopated perfectly.

Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite Beatles song but I’d recommend being very stoned the first time you hear it.
Love your reactions!! You keep your image small and actually feature the Artist!! Ego free reactions!!

John Lennon sang lead for this song. He's my favorite. Paul McCartney sang lead on Let It Be. You'll get to the point where you can pick out who is singing. You should make sure to do a couple of their songs that Ringo and George sang lead. They're all fantastic.
The fuckin Beatles man. Timeless. Nobody is better.
The song is amazingly original, just in the sounds it uses, but the execution, both singing and guitars is masterful. They are in complete control; everything is perfect.
Great reaction brother 🤘

Keep exploring the Beatles bro... you'll have a new favorite every day for about 209 days in a row!
Top selling musicians of all time.
For those of us who have lived our entire lives knowing of The Beatles' existence, it must be weird seeing these surprised reactions. It never fails to surprise me. Like, yeah dude it's The fuckin' Beatles!
Subscribed to you earlier today and have now watched all of your Beatles reactions. Saved this one for last. You now have only about 200 more songs to go. Next up..While my guitar gently weeps, something, revolution, long and winding road, Oh Darling, blackbird then after these are done I'll offer up some more lol. So glad to see these reactions. THANK YOU
Ringo takes the lead in this song. It is a composition. He messes around on the toms and then nails the beat on the snare.
No that was John with Paul coming in occasionally for the backup vocal on sometimes only one word at a time.
Im 60. I have 37 number 1 favorite Beatles song.
Dont worry bout it.
Just Relax and listen. Headphones are preferable.
Each song is a lone jewel in a different crown!
This is one of my favourite Beatles songs. Two others off of the Revolver album that I think you would like are Tomorrow Never Knows and She Said She Said. Tomorrow Never Knows is really trippy and cool.🌼✌🇨🇦
If you like the groove on this one, then check out "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles, I bet you'll dig it. Other great ones are "Something" and "Hey Bulldog". Although really, all of their songs are great in their own way.
Peace
Yes! I love that song!
The Beatles songs are unique bc four hours after you hearing them you start subconsciously thinking about them incessantly
You should look into the story of these guys! They have a whole anthology documentary. They went from rags to riches. Both Paul and John lost a parental figure at an early age. George grew up poor, Ringo had the most ordinary childhood of the four but he isnt even the original drummer of the beatles. He came on in 63' shortly after love me do. He was the best possible fit, he was already a seasoned professional for the younger beatles to look up to. This whole album was 🔥 because they knew their time as the beatles were coming to an end or at least going to be changing drastically.
Another good song is Revolution by the beatles.
John. It was John.
Yet another timeless hit from The Beatles .
The "original" was, "He got meat down to his knees," . The suits and squares effed it up. They changed "meat" to "feet". BTW it was the goat John Lennon
Don't forget Billy Preston on the organ
There’s a reason that The Beatles are the greatest selling band in the history of music!!
This song has so much funk in it...love it
I love this phase of the Beatles. Love it.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney are credited as co-writers on most Beatles songs. George Harrison wrote a few songs, mostly later in the Beatles time together. Lennon/McCartney co-write is more a relic of their early period where they really did co-write songs. As time progressed, Lennon and McCartney wrote songs separately and stuck with the co-write credit. Among the songs you've listened to so far, Come Together is a Lennon song. Yesterday, Hey Jude, and Let It Be were McCartney songs. A Day in the Life is a true Lennon/McCartney co-write. Generally speaking, the guy who wrote the song sang it.
Try Helter Skelter..... great raspy vocals from Paul, WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! 7 Years that changed the world
