- A "day in the life" of the Beatles. On this day the Beatles recorded "No Reply" along with a few other songs. This video is an educational/historic record of that day in time. You can see what the Beatles looked like, the clothes they wore, and the instruments they played while making this recording. A remarkable historical document in time.
The level of musical sophistication in this song is off the charts, dynamics and tonal variation, The Beatles were just incredible.
Well said.
This song is so well written that it stands on it's own without any gimmicky instrumentation or special effects. Pure early Lennon/McCartney magic!
I’d say Harrison too. He added the samba beat to it
it is so well written. The Lennon/
McCartney flow.
Ill Be Back is another one that blows my mind.
John said it was his version of Silhouettes
It is a Lennon song. Period.
@@fitless John was a very talented storyteller until he started dropping acid. Another great song from this early period is "I Don't Want to Spoil The Party." His mention of "I've had a drink or two and I don't care; it's no fun in what I do if she's not there" was one of the first plainly said references to having had a couple of belts. The whole song is the narrative of John's mind while missing his girlfriend at a party. EVERY guy who heard it related to it automatically. John won a lot of fans in this period that stayed with him all the way.
John Lennon’s voice is so beautiful and so haunting at the same time, I just get goosebumps. I grew up listening to The Beatles, thanks to my Dad. I cannot choose a favourite track. Too much talent in one band.
Listening to that, sitting in my grandma's house near the beach in Madras (Chennai, as it was then called) on our summer holidays from Calcutta, over 50 years ago .. indelible memories !
There will never ever be a phenomenon like the Beatles !
Please pardon my getting nostalgic a bit !
It was thanks to my Dad too x
Lennon is just a phenomenal Lyricist ..The lyrics that Lennon writes are timeless.
Lennon wrote The MUSIC too: His Acoustic Guitar work & chords, his Main melody, his concept, his lyrics.
The bridge of this song is amazing
It's the Beatle stomp, guaranteed to stir the masses.
I think John wrote this song and Paul wrote the middle 8, but I could be wrong.
Yea, it still gives me goosebumps to this day....
@@hyzercreek No, John wrote it all.
@@hyzercreek It's a 100 % John song. Paul helped with the harmonies, and that's all.
My favorite bridge in a popular song. I heard it the first time in 1965 and it still blows me away.
Paul's backing vocal is incredible.
Paul was a great screamer. And he do it without going out of tune.
Always loved this song.
My very favorite. It's the perfect Beatle song.
Brilliant as always. John and Paul's voices blending beautifully as they always did.
This is one of my all time favorite Beatle tunes. The musical arrangement is phenomenal. The drums, and cymbal crashes the suspenseful guitar, the piano and the clap track make this song a musical wonder. I love how the smothered cymbal crashes add to the dynamics of the song. Not to mention it tells of a love affair that went wrong.
I think this song might have more echo than any other Beatles song. One of my faves. What the Beatles accomplished in 1964 is astonishing.
And 65.
the mono version is better and with no echo
@@brytanlodz Indeed....I think all the ones where they try to turn an original mono into stereo are all terrible.
@@ClueSign And 66, and 67, and 68, etc... They never stopped evolving and improving.
@@imkluu John Lennon's songwriting, in particular on the White Album, is, for me, the best.
I wore the grooves out on this song on "Beatles '65" when it came out in 1965. I only learned years later that the song came from 1964. "No Reply" is still one of my all-time Lennon faves.
My friend & I had to buy a 2nd Sgt Pepper's for the same reason. No Reply is pure golden magic😊❤
I am in love with this exquisite song right now. John Lennon gave us his whole heart ❤️
The greatest legend in creativity and popularity.
I think this is the best song they ever did. It's so sad. It comes from out of the blue. It sounds like nothing they did before or after it and it doesn't sound like they were reworking something they'd heard before either
Lennon had one of the greatest voices in rock history! Ringo doing a Bossa type beat. Fantastic. Great middle eight with the piano.
I can’t stop mixing up face and place and door since I heard those bloopers.
I love the choppy rhythm or counter-rhythm or what it is, also some pretty weird chords - sort of jazzy, as if there is some Bossa Nova hidden deep within it. But then again, it’s very British... John’s raspy voice as if he had too much to drink is also something. I find it impossible to do it honor with my guitar playing and singing, so I always blame it on the missing handclaps...
this song touches my heart. i literally felt my heart drop during "i nearly died"
A wonderful song penned by John Lennon! A lovely musical arrangement inspired on our Bossa Nova! Sir George Martin was a genius!! Marvelous Band! Unforgettable Quartet! Regards from Brazil !
John and Paul = GREAT!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love everything in this song…. Melody, lyrics, timing, instrumental, voices, performers, recording,…..the part of the lyrics I love most….and I forgive 🎉❤ …listening to this masterpiece will transform one to live and react with a loving and forgiving smile. Thank you Beatles my favorite! John Lennon RIP; George Harrison, RIP! God bless all!! Thank you RUclips!
6th chords, maj7th chords, with some minor/major chord changes thrown in during the bridge as well....superb vocals, and Ringo just steady as can be...pure genius...what's not to like?
I think there’s an added 9th on the final chord.
Such a great song and so ahead of it's time for those days...I especially love the bridge (begins with, "If I were you...") in this song...OUTstanding!
The outtakes of this song are absolutely hilarious; hard to unhear Lennon singing "you walked hand in hand with another man, in my face."
Very cool catch! Your right!
If you think that's funny, check out "Beatallica" singing "No Remorseful Reply" 😅
One of my favorite Beatles song ! Love it so much !
Heard this song just 6 days after admission into a secondary school as a student. Another little gods sweeping the music landscape of Britain? 59 years on I'm riveted by it. Magnificent vocal harmony from these immortal Liverpudlians!
Legendary. Thank you guys for making an August afternoon unforgettable.
Great song, beautiful vocals
I have B&W strip photos of myself laughing hysterically from inside a Woolworth's photo booth,....with the same date this was recorded written on the back,....my 5th birthday. My mom bought 'Meet the Beatles' a few months earlier, so that's what I listened to, even at 4 years old. Would occasionally listen to that same album into my teens....
Nicely done! Great timing. I especially liked the last note and drums when you closed with Ringo. Very cool! This song and album was always our Christmas time must play, ever since I was a kid. Thanks for a nice collage of memorable pictures! ss Vancouver BC
Thanks for the nice comments. I have many more videos I am working on. Stay with me.
Again, Another MASTERPIECE FROM JOHN & PAUL.......
The change in musical style from the original demo recording on Anthology, to this final version is amazing.
Gracias por compartir... Amo el Sonido y el Arte de Los Beatles.
When Lennon was on top of his game…
Yeah
absolutely , his peak was 64/65
Lennons version of ‘Silhouettes’ & always loved John's voice with the early Beatles. Felt it showcased Lennons unique raw voice ~ just like when he sang 'You Can't Do That' & 'If I Fell' & his early Beatles songs!! So cool that you appeared to include the actual notes/doodles The Beatles used when composing "No Reply"! Tysm..💖💕
What awesome pics 🤗
Seriously this was the perfect song to open the Beatles For Sale album.
Я хотел бы забыть все песни Beatles, чтобы услышать их снова впераые!
John Lennon, maybe the greatest voice in Rock. He had the most amazing backup singer of all time
Sir Paul McArtney. Early Beatles, just incredible.
@CRAIG SCHEFF it's different. Lennon had a style and grit that is greater than every singer of all time. McCartney had a grace and harmonizing ability unparalleled. I agree with your Helter Skelter praise but in that exact same album John Lennon performs I'm so Tired and Yer Blues, McCartney did not have the pure power of Lennon that is indisputable.
@@stephenstrang590 Lennon's voice whether screaming or not had more power and soul than even Paul, which is saying something because Paul as a singer and melodist, not to mention harmony singer was incredible. Lennon's voice always cut through everything and anything, just as a force beyond music. Elevating everything he touched to far beyond pop.
John's voice always thrills. It's so gut wrenching. Paul's voice soars and whoops and croons. Together, unmatched by anyone ever.
@CRAIG SCHEFF You’re talking technically. Lennon had soul in spades in his voice. It had a unique, rustic quality.
I agree that Lennon had one incredible voice. Maybe some are technically better, but there is something about his voice that makes him one of the best in rock and roll.
Dear John, George, RIP.
Whoever this is, you’re doing a great job. Thanks!!!
Incredible!!
It'd be impossible for me to pick a favorite Beatles song, but I might be able to come up with a Top Twenty. _No Reply_ would definitely be on that list. The sound of John's double-tracked vocal, the power of his Gibson J-160E, the addition of George Martin's piano in the bridge, Ringo's Inspired syncopated snare hits in the verse, and of course the sheer majesty of the bridge, aided & abetted by Paul's soaring harmony. The song is a masterpiece.
I cannot believe we are coming up on the 60th anniversary of this classic.
How great was John Lennon!
One of my favorites.
Love this song. I don't remember it being played much at all on the radio, but it should've been.
You are really spoiling us with this early catalogue. Am in Liverpool on a short break, treated myself to an open top bus tour around the city and out to Woolton, Aigburth, Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields with a tour guide from Birkenhead, who was pretty good but managed to mangle some of the Beatles facts. Tomorrow revisiting the childhood homes of John and Paul on a National Trust tour. Will see what interesting vibes I pick up this time. All highly recommended. Greetings from a sunny August evening from a hotel opposite The Albert Dock.
Fantastic Maggie. I wish I was there too. Enjoy!
Beatles no reply
This happened once before
When I came to your door
No reply
They said it wasn't you
But I saw you peep through
Your window
I saw the light
I saw the light
I know that you saw me
'Cause I looked up to see
Your face
I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
And I saw you walk in
Your door
I nearly died
I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place
If I were you, I'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before, when you gave me no reply
I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
And I saw you walk in
Your door
I nearly died

'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man

This is by far my favorite of theirs. Thanks.
Love this song
Best song on the Beatles 65 album ❤
Funny how so many people still think the Rolling Stones were the 'hip' ones. Lol.
They were proven right by 1969. THEN IN 1972 when the BEATLES were screwing around being nowhere men, the STONES released EXILE ON MAIN ST.........GAME OVER...STONES WIN THE DECADE! 1962-1972
@@lamper2 Sure, keep on dreaming. 😄
@@lamper2 Remind me again who had the most number one singles and albums?
@@lamper2 this comment should delete it self automatically
@@lamper2 - I'd just like to add my two cents here by saying that when I see these types of posts where people start saying the Stones were better than the Beatles or vice versa - or any band is better than another - it's so silly. If you like one band better than another, that's fine but it's not a competition. It's all a matter of taste. They are all talented and put out good material. Some songs or singers you might like better than others. That's fine with me and that's all I have to say.
one of my faves since 1965
Great Beatles song. Love the ending.
I literally just learned tonight that George Martin played the piano on this tune on an overdub apparently. I was 12 when this came out, we lived in Madrid, Spain at the time and I used to tune into Radio Caroline on my tiny crystal radio I would clip to our steam heat radiator for a common ground. Magical days back then . . .
One of my Beatles' favs. A mighty high bar
My all time favourite Beatles song.
I've only come across your channel this evening, Joseph.
I've already subscribed and I am really enjoying seeing and listening to all the snapshots from the Beatles' recording sessions.
I was eleven when Please Please Me came out and I still listen to the Beatles music on mosy days.
Thank you, sir.
No Reply, the second most beatlesque song, She Loves you bein the most iconic.
I always preferred I Wanna Hold Your Hand, but I don't usually compare their songs- they're all great.
Absolutely right
Who else but Ringo would lay down such a brilliantly creative drum track for this song.
Agreed.
The magnitude and musical brilliance of the Beatles was way to much for myself growing up as a teenager in the 80s. However with time and most recently with Now and Then and the history behind it with the Documentary "Let it be" by Peter Jackson i now realise that their brilliance, innovation, musicality and just plain genius will never be rivalled. They are so far ahead of any other band that has ever been that it is staggering.
The song tells an entire story start to finish.
^..^~~
schitterend,i love them
I always listen out for that chord with the added 9th at the end. For any other act a song of that quality would have been an automatic single but for The Beatles it was just another album track.
Incredible.
Splendid 💥💥💥
This may be the Beatles most under rated song of all.
And magic it was. Ive knew when I was twelve years old, we were experiencing a musical revolution the likes of which the world had never known and The Beatles were at the helm. You had to live in a cave or in the outback deep in the Amazon to not have heard of them. I suspect even Tibetin Monks were tapping a toe under their robes in their celebacy and silence.
Talk about singing voices that were born for each other.
Easily one of the Beatles’ best songs, performances and recordings.
Just discovered your channel. Fab. I love your photo choices too.
Thank you Sharon. I have more videos in the works. Stay tuned.
ahead of its time
Love this! 😊
Christ Almighty. What a song and what a recording. "I'll Be Back" is another gem in serious John Lennon vein from the same album. To think it was a reject from the "Hard Day's Night" album! A lot of people never even mention Beatles '65, but it is a fantastic album. Also, while McCartney's brilliance and prolificness as a musician and writer is never in doubt, it seems like Lennon's edgiest, most passionate efforts really stand out as something extra special. There's more pain there. Interesting cats!!
one of my favorites
Love them
I love this song, but I keep expecting to hear John singing out “I’m a loser, I’m a loser” at the end. It was only 56 years ago, Sgt.Lennon taught the band to play it.
Great song
Mid-seventies style music, produced in the mid-sixties by The Beatles. Wow!
This is the finished, released song, nothing to do with how it was made in the studio.
Love the Dbl. Lennon vocals w/ reverb.They also kept in. Ringo's extra down beat crash cymbal mistake at thee end? Great Song!
This happened once before,
When I came to your door.
We need to solve this mystery!
Lennon, just a special guy,fabulous, what a loss to Beatles fans😢
great !
One of their very best songs! Technically brilliant. Dont think it was realeased as s single.
My favourite song :3
The chord progression in the refrain of "No Reply" is recycled in Now and Then
Most of the Beatles music was written by John and Paul. However, the lead singer was usually the main writer on the song. You can hear John's voice singing the verse in this song, and this song was mainly written by John. During a 1980 interview, John made a point that despite the fact the official writers of these songs were John and Paul, he differentiated the styles of John and Paul and indicated it was pretty easy to tell them apart.
I agree.
But I have to wonder, if Paul came up with the notes on the "No Reply" chorus in this song, which both Paul and John were singing. This part really made the song, my favorite on the "Beatles 65" Album.
Nothing touches Beatles circa 64/65
I've listened to this song many times over the years and never really payed much attention to what he's really saying. If you think about it, he's stalking this girl in an extremely dark and creepy sort of way. In run for your life he's basically saying he'll kill her if she ever talks to another guy. Norwegian wood is basically a happy little song about a guy who burns a woman's house down because she didn't have sex with him. At least that's what I get from it.
Who else has this song pop into their head every time they get an email marked "No Reply"?
Here John AND Paul are singing verse in unison, Paul also mimicking the John's voice timbre
They're harmonizing where Lennon isn't double-tracked.
@@auramac no double-tracked at all. Please listen to carefully. You will hear Paul, believe me!
good god in heaven the simple plaintiveness of his cry no reply no reply almost overwhelming the angst
Why does it say “in the recording studio”? It’s just the album track.
The photos that accompany the video are from the recording of this song, on this particular date. I could have used the Anthology version of takes 1 and take 2, but the final finished version (to me) was too beautiful not to use.
they said it wasn't you, but I saw you peek through, your face
May I have a glass of milk, please 😊🎶🎵✌️
This is NOT a BBC recording, it's a Parlophone studio recording
Hi, I never said it was a BBC recording. It's a track from the Beatles For Sale LP.
So yes parlophone.
This is a bit reminiscent of "Oh! Darling."
Sounds like the record
*your face*
