On the day he died, a reporter shared a taxi with John. The reporter asked about John's relationship with Paul, and John answered: "He's like a brother to me. Every family f7ghts, but when all is said and done, I would do anything for him, and I think he would do anything for me"
John said on the MIke Douglas show, that if I can't have a row with my best friend, who can I have a row with, I think that just about says it all (I think you probably know that in england they call a fight a row)
Wow that’s so beautiful I agree with him that every family have problem. I always said don’t judge knowing that they start talking that was the beginning of love thank god they make that happen
In spite of their indifferences they were able to patch things up Their love for each other still remains John cares for Paul so much until the end So sad
Definitely. They were the kind of friends who would always remain brothers. Anybody that has a younger or older brother, fights alot. But nothing ever breaks that bond and love for each other. The truth I believe is that the media def hyped up any differences they had, the media seemed almost to try and intentionally create strife with all the Beatles. For political reasons obviously. The same reason John was assassinated. Eveytime somebody has an enormous amount of influence over a very large population, and preach and sing messages that goes against our corrupt government's agenda such as songs for peace, and not war... gets assassinated. This has been the common theme all throughout history (JFK, John Lennon, Jesus Christ, Tupac & Biggie, on and on. His death was political. And the media (owned by the govt) tried to alienate John from his friends as much as possible, blowing any trivial matters w Paul waaaay out of proportion. George had stated long before John was killed that he always felt the Beatles would get assassinated bc he knew the amount of influence they had on the world. And he was absolutely correct. John Lennon would have been elected President a long time ago, and the govt doesnt want anyone in the White House singing songs of peace, not violence.
You cannot have a friendship like that and not still feel part of it. Like Ringo said in a interview, the question was "who were the Beatles?" He said with some thought, " they were just four guys who really loved each other.
@JohnDoe-tw8es: Absolutely, JohnDoe! That bond between The Beatles was something else. As Ringo perfectly summarized it, they were four guys who genuinely loved each other. We all at Rock Alch definitely feel that bond while jamming to their tunes. Thanks for being a part of our growing community.

And John wrote "Now And Then," the upcoming final Beatles song. He also left a note on the cassette that said "for Paul." Now we know why Paul has been so keen to complete this song over the years.

It’s not as great, but the intent and combination of energies is. But a funeral song, like the Anthology ones. If the four of them had put it together in person, one would have mentioned it…thus livening it up. A true love can mention the truth, in concern for the beloved. They are and have always been transcendent. Imagine a just, and empowering world for all, sugar babies❤
@@melissawilliams9672 Since none of them knew musical notation,I think that's unlikely. Now,home recordings and demos are probably out there somewhere.
There is and never will be a band like the Beatles. I grew up listening to them and never looked back. I turned my daughter into a Beatles fan and she is as much informed about them as I am and always will be as long as I’m alive. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t read something about one or all of them. John and Paul had a unique friendship and their collective talents stand the test of time. I believe 100% that Johns spirit spoke to Paul through his manager’s lyrics. The Beatles ending was a huge loss but as long as their music is alive so is their spirits. They laid the foundation for every band of this generation and those to come. Friends have differences that’s life. The fact that they found common ground before Johns untimely death means so much. They loved each other and they were each different people which made them and their creative ways so remarkable. Rest in peace John and George! God bless you Paul and Ringo. ❤️

I grew up with the Beatles . I am a first generation Beatles fan. I remember when The White Album was released November 22, 1968. A day before my Bar Mitzvah. There was a local record store near my house. I bought it on release day. I must of played it like 4 times. What a Bar Matzvah present.
@JPM1942 What an incredible memory! To have The White Album released right around your Bar Mitzvah must've made the occasion even more special.

Thanks for sharing this memory with us! 🎵 - Rock Alchemy Music
Me tool At 3 I went to my first movie ... Yellow Submarine when it hit the theaters. It confused me but it was magical. I was a blank slate and I just loved them from before I could walk or talk. The White Album blew me away at 4. Some of the songs were too weird for me at 4 but I was in Heaven.
John told his son, Julian, if it was a way to communicate beyond the grave, he would float a white feather across the room. Ironically, that white peacock would show up in the picture with the three Beatles.

My dad is just as obsessed with them as I am with NSYNC. Lol. And, thanks to that, I have a very deep appreciation for their music. I'm also obsessed with their music, especially the last one that just came out. Dad's getting a vinyl for Christmas cuz...why not? He should have it as part of his collection since he still has his record player from way back when and literally has every single Beatles record from the 60s. Good quality is relatively speaking, pretty sure it's not the same quality as his actual records from the 70s. But, it's still a Beatles record with their new song that he can play in his office. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks to Dad, I have learned a lot about the Beatles. The history of how they began, all the in-betweens, AND the end. Including John Lennon's death in 1980. It amazes me how much I remember from growing up and listening to him tell me all about them thru the eyes of a 20-something-yr-old living life in the 60s. At first, he was in the Philippines. But, by the 70s (summer of 1970) he had come to America to finish his medical studies which is where he started the collection of records. Mom says he was always like a little kid in the candy store and couldn't wait to show her what he bought (they were just dating at the time). I guess, as someone who wasn't quite Americanized yet, lol, he felt he was living literally the American dream being able to purchase modern American records with his own hard earned money. At least, that's how he put it. It's the little things in life we should appreciate. It gets harder and harder since everything is about technology advancements, hurrying up to go nowhere and fast, etc. But, sometimes we need to just chill and appreciate the little things like being able to buy a Beatles record. Everyone's like "I want more", including myself. We should start enjoying the stuff we already have now. Jeez, it has just occurred to me that as I'm typing this, that last part sounds just like my mom. She's always telling both my niece and myself that "you don't NEED this" or "that" and to appreciate what we have, especially in a time where prices of things just won't stop increasing. ❤️❤️❤️
I never get enough of reading these comments of how people love the Beatles! I feel like there is a bond between us all. I was 14 in 1964 and suddenly I'm in touch with other people on the other side of the world who were 14 in 1964 and shared the experience. When I was 17 my mom bought me Sgt Pepper.

@sidneymeyer7372 . . . I was 14 in 1964. the year Beatles '65 came out I was so disappointed my mom wouldn't buy it for me!

I was 14 in 1964 as were my dearest friends who still huge fans anf and we have the Beatles to thank for that! We still love them and always will.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I have more too! The next year The Beatles performed in Houston. It was August 1965. The “Mom” of our friends drove us and was as excited as we were. There were 6 of us girls. As we waited at the hotel where they stayed the crowd grew by the minute waiting on their plane to land. When that happened there was an explosion of fans rushing out of the hotel to get to the airport be. We opted not to do that as it was too dangerous. So we waited outside the hotel to see if they would be coming in. We learned that fans climbed onto the plane and it was a while for police got them off. We were glad we didn’t go there. Finally we glanced over to the door and saw Mal Evans unloading their bags & instruments from a van. The friend who got to meet them the year before is very shy. We convinced her to go to Mal & ask if he remembered her. She did & to our delight he did remember her! He finished his work and got in the car with us. The “MOM” with us took him/us on a short tour of Houston. NASA, etc. At daybreak we went to a coffee shop for breakfast. Mal was so friendly and kind. We got the newspapers right when they were delivered. He autographed them in very nice way. I had just gotten In His Own Write by John Lennon. He autographed that too. So sweet of him! We decided to go back to the hotel & try to sleep. We had tickets to both performances. DOne of my dear friends was and still is an amazing artist. She gave Mal a portrait of George. Mal sent us Christmas cards and mail to her house for quite some time. She always responded with hand drawn cards and short stories. So great that he stayed in touch with us. The portrait of George Harrison was in a book shown on top of his parent’s tv. I hope everyone reading this really long post enjoys it. I enjoy sharing it. Precious memories! ❤❤❤
I had a very traumatic childhood and the one joy I had was listening to the music of the Beatles. Their music uplifted me and I believe it saved my life.

I was 7 years old when my Aunt Sharon moved in with us this was January 1964. She brought with her a 2 singles called “I want to hold your hand” and “All my lovin” I listened to those songs every day. Then we heard they were going to be on the Ed Sullivan Show Feb. 9th 1964 I was so excited telling my friends that the Beatles were going to be on that show that weekend. They said who are the Beatles I grabbed a tennis racket jumped on top of their dog house and in my mind at least at the time sounded just like the Beatles doing all my loving and I want to hold her hand. They saw how excited I was it rubbed off on them. Growing up I would save my lunch money to but their new Album. I've worn almost every Beatles Album I've ever owned buying 2 to 4 copies of albums. CDs ECT…..

My dad always played the Beatles on the radio when I was too little to fully understand all the lyrics. I learned some of the words and listening to their unique sound made me feel happy inside, even when I though I was too sad to feel happy. They have always been my dad’s and my favorite band. My family and I recently saw the Fab Four (a Beatles tribute band) in concert, and it was genuinely the best night of my life. I deeply wish I could have been alive in the 60’s to see the real Beatles play, but listening to their music today is more than enough for me to feel good.
@user-lj6id5be9j Your story is heartwarming. The Beatles truly have a timeless appeal, and it's incredible to hear how their music bridges generations, connecting parents and their children. It's beautiful that you and your dad have this shared love for the band.

@007ndc, it's a testament to the depth of their bond and how intertwined their lives and careers were.

They were best mates and in some ways even closer than family - with their shared bond for loving music and loving creating music being large part of helping them heal after they both lost their mothers at an early age. A significant difference is that despite losing his Mum, Paul had a really great Dad, Jim McCartney who was also a part-time musician and a younger brother Mike, who along with his larger extended Liverpool family helped to keep him grounded and gave him a sense of who he was when away from the what became a goldfish bowl at the height of Beatles' fame and later business pressures. John was not blessed with either of those first two critical emotional supports. His real Dad had run away back to sea and, having lost his somewhat bohemian Mum Julia who had encouraged his early guitar-playing,he was famously raised by his Aunt Mimi. John had an extended family too including a half-sister, but the same closeness and unqualified support enjoyed by Paul wasn't really there. John had some much deeper identity issues as he grew older and when the support of the Beatles and their tight coterie was pulled away, they both implied emotionally. John of course had found Yoko and in her both a girlfriend and mother figure as well as a creative/intellectual muse, but in the end he really needed psychological repair. The primal scream therapy connecting with his emotional pain was a part of it but in the end the real cure was to have a proper family and pull back from the early 70s music business which was drowning in drugs and alcohol, J Lennon's other sources of 'attempted healing' and bond with his new son and his new home. It had worked the first time with Cyn and Julian as John was in no fit state or position to lead that family. Remember despite his various girlfriends, even Paul was not leading a family at that point. It took till well into the late 70s before Lennon was really back together. Then so tragically, we all only had him for five more years. Meanwhile Paul who had hit the bottle a bit after the end of the Beatles spent a couple of years of trialing band-members and going on the road in a smallish way and getting his performing and writing confidence back before, having taught Linda to play keys and sing in a band, put the definitive line-up of Wings together and did what no other Beatle managed: he put together a string of at least 4 albums together of real quality and did a huge world tour and got to the top of the charts again ten years after doing it his old band. He has continued to work - composing and touring since, but now with nothing left to prove about the depth (and popularity) of his solo abilities and need for the others. He truly became a superstar in his own right from 73-77 and though the output is certainly very different to his 60s work, his legacy as a performing lead singer, bassist and songwriter par excellence is totally secure. I saw him play MELB 3 weeks back and he was 'still prancin' - and utterly great with it. He remains one of the sanest men in popular music. And I write this as a big George and John fan. Each really needs their own category post-Beatles and their creative visions and legacies are all quite different. It's really heart-warming to see the later career Ringo had has after a good early start, then becoming directionless and having alcohol issues. His work with the AllStar bands has been great and a lot of fun for audiences and new generations of musicians alike. My take is this: at heart Paul and Ringo connected not just as rhythm section players but because they are entertainers and performers, which is why they've both been drawn to acting. John and George were both artists first with a strong sense of philosophy and philanthropy. I know John was an actor in 1965 but he really didn't want to stick with that line. He became a writer and a socio-political activist, as well as a thinker. The other tack is the one George took, becoming fascinated by Indian culture, music and religion but also philanthropy. Although they didn't perform in it for different reasons, I suspect that at heart, both John and Paul were quite proud of George for putting on the Concert for Bangladesh (and it was very cool to get Bob Dylan back in the public eye: look at the huge body of wonderful work HE'S done since). It was a gesture born from friendship, commitment and love. All those years later it inspired certain other like-minded people to be active in helping others. What a band - what a legacy. It is their influence that is totally without peer. And we're still listening now and celebrating the creative partnership at its core.
The Beatles are the greatest in the history of Rock n Roll ! Even today, their music is so powerful and mesmerizing ! I remember the day they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show , it was absolutely crazy ! I miss them all being together. They will one day, in heaven !
@AaronLopez5221 Thank you for sharing your love for The Beatles! That Ed Sullivan Show moment truly was iconic, and it's awesome that you were part of it.

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.” - Kurt Vonnegut
To me Paul was the more 'centered' of the two. But the catalyst formed by their union will never be duplicated. The songs they penned together was the soundtrack of my youth. Almost 60 years later and I never tire listening to The Beatles. I was saddened by the Beatles end in 1970 but not surprised. It was time.....But it WAS a punch to my soul at the time. Lennon's digs at McCartney I always thought were 'childish' and jealousy. Paul was the bigger man by not retaliating. Paul has always shown more class in that way to me anyway.... I can never thank the two of them enough for the joy they have provided me with their songs...

When John sang "How do you sleep?". Paul answered "on a big pile of money" don't get it twisted. They're just as human as the rest of us, just moreso perhaps
I could be wrong of course, have been before and will be again, but I've read that Paul took a shot at John in "Too Many People". Anyone know if that's true or just a myth?
@@007ndc Absolutely! Their banter and back-and-forth reflected not only their human sides but also their sense of humor. While they were larger-than-life figures in music history, at the end of the day, they were also just people with their own quirks and personalities. Their dynamics added another layer to their incredible story. Thanks for pointing that out! If you're into diving deeper into such tales of rock legends, consider subscribing. Stay rockin'! 🎸🤘
@@sandygort You've got a keen sense of Beatles history! Yes, it's widely believed that Paul McCartney's "Too Many People" contained a few jabs at John Lennon. Paul later admitted in interviews that some of the lyrics were indeed about John. The Beatles' solo works often had these subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) messages to each other. It's just another chapter in their complex relationship. Always fascinating to dig into the stories behind the songs. Thanks for bringing that up!

I'm currently 61 years old, and The Beatles have been a huge part of my life, for as far back as I can remember. I still listen to them daily, and it's always like the song is brand new. They not only stand the test of time, they defined the times! When I was in the 11th grade, in 1979, I took a music appreciation course, and when the teacher (who loved them, too) got to The Beatles, he said he was going to let me teach about them (and then the next semester he had me teach his chorus classes about The Beatles); but I told them all then that Them and their music would never go away, for they would always be the most influential force in the world of Rock and Roll (well, them and Buddy Holly); and now, as I've been told, they're even influencing in Country Music (which I never listen to); and that doesn't surprise me. My analogy has always been that they invented the round-wheel of Rock and Roll, and you cannot reinvent the wheel.
Wow, what a fantastic journey you've had with The Beatles' music! The influence they've had across generations is truly remarkable.

Can you imagine if John and Paul had showed up at SNL ? I’m dead certain everything else would have been put on hold and they would have devoted all their resources and effort to accommodate those two no matter what happened. Even if they just strummed a couple of acoustic guitars and sang a couple lines, the world would have stopped to watch something that so deserved to happen. I’m so frustrated a better effort wasn’t mounted to persuade it to happen. I think they would have at least temporarily let their frustration with each other slide and just enjoy what they knew gave the world so much adoration. George did a tv interview with Ravi Shankar and was asked out of the blue to try a song on an acoustic. Not with pressure, but just out of love and sincerity. After some hesitation he came up with something and you could tell from the audiences reaction it was a moment of pure love. Real love. It was readily apparent that George really enjoyed it. That same potential was there for Paul and John, but sadly no one was able to get it over to actually try it. I’m sure there are so many people who would have done it differently if they had a chance. Can you imagine a new Beatles album of new material? What would that have done to the world. God dam we were so close.
@19nervousbreak Your reflections beautifully capture the 'what could have been' sentiment that many Beatles fans, including myself, often ponder. The mere thought of John and Paul on SNL, or even a new Beatles album, sends shivers down the spine.

I was born in 1961 and The Beatles appearances on the Ed Sullivan show are my first recollections. I had a brother, 7 years older than I, who was really excited about the group. So there was a lot of Beatle's records playing and a "build up" to the televised performances. I was immediately hooked! I'm 62 now, still a Beatle fan. I'm sure I will still be a fan when I'm 64, if I live that long... But who will need me, who will feed me? When I'm 64.
@kennethwofford4489, your early memories with The Beatles and the Ed Sullivan show are truly heartwarming! The beauty of their music is how it transcends time and continues to resonate with us as we journey through life. Your connection to "When I'm 64" gave me a smile.

Hi, I'm living 10 minutes away from Strawberry fields & John's old house on Mather Avenue, I'm 67 now, but even though I was to young to go & watch the lads in the Cavern, my sister did go & I grew up listening to her playing their records on her tiny record player, she married a Yank & emigrated in 70, but she still misses Liverpool so much, but her memories are forever with her.
@@terryhorne2582 it's awe-inspiring to hear from someone who's lived so close to such iconic locations related to The Beatles.

Besides The Beatles, are there any other iconic bands or musicians from that era or any other you'd like us to cover in our content? We'd love to hear your suggestions! 🎶 - Rock Alchemy Music
Lennon & Mcc were more partners in art than buddies hanging out after school. Not that it was cold or shallow. They collaborated on more than fans seem to realize until much later. have you noticed how Lennon glances at Mcc during songs as late as 69 that proved they enjoyed bolstering eachothers tunes/even during stressful conflicting times.
Adam, you've got a keen eye! The depth of Lennon and McCartney's partnership transcended beyond casual friendship; it was like two masterful painters working on a canvas together.

I've been listening to the Beatles since I was 11y old and I'm 39 now, they've been extremely inspirational in all aspects of life beyond music... I have always loved, and have been doing art since childhood and having the Beatles in my life encouraged me to always do my best in all my work... and even beyond creativity, they and their music have been there in times of trouble, have helped me persevere through those times, and taught me all about genuine Universal Love, because that is definitely all we need... to me they are more than just a band, they are my brothers and i am so grateful to have bn introduced to their music ad i will forever carry it in my heart and soul 💚

My childhood was formed around music. The Beatles in particular. Rubber Soul was the first album I ever bought with money my grandparents gave me for my seventh birthday. From that day forward, anytime I heard a Beatles song it reminded me of my youth and the friends that I had during that time.
@rickythomas5477 Music has an incredible power to evoke memories and emotions, doesn't it? It's heartwarming to hear that The Beatles, especially 'Rubber Soul', played such a pivotal role in the soundtrack of your youth.

If you can imagine the pressure of being the nucleus of such a phenomenal group, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I had similar thing happen to me... In high school me and a friend started a band together, we were like brothers, and the band lasted for years...then we had a falling out :( We both got on with our lives, in different directions, and I haven't spoken to him for over 30 years, as he has blocked me out. I moved far away, and lost touch, though his siblings still contact me. I don't harbor any bad feelings, but I consider it a personal tragedy to never patch things up, we had many good times together. John and Paul were such a powerful musical force, that we can't stomach the idea of them in a feud, and we don't want it to end that way, making amends is what we all hope for, it can't be any other way. I have to mention, the Beatles were huge influence on us, and we played lots of their songs.
@dadnyfur Your story deeply resonates with us. Being in a band ourselves, we understand the highs of creating music together and the lows when differences come between close friends. It's a journey filled with emotions, influenced by those who came before us, like The Beatles. We know how bonds formed through music are unique, and the hope for reconciliation is something many of us hold onto. Thank you for sharing your personal experience; it's a testament to the profound impact music has on our lives and relationships. Always remember, the notes may stop, but the melodies linger.

This band saved my life...had have do and always will adore this band...I wasn't in good shape at one point when I was younger and I needed to go away for ...let's just say 28 days...and I kept making up excuses for not going away. My favorite album is The Beatles (white album) and my mama bear and I were at Sam's Club (basically a retail superstore) and they had the White Album on sale..the remastered 09version ...and I asked my mom ...if you buy that for me I'll go to rehab hahaha...I went home and listened to it over and over....I'd had it before but I sold it for dope and I have more regrets then sky's have clouds but I always regretted that so much....and listened to it over and over ... eventually I got my panties into a suitcase and went away and ....I wouldn't be messaging this if it weren't for the Beatles....they've meant so much to me....basically saved my life....

The Beatles were one of the most influential parts of my childhood. My older brothers bought many of their 45's & we played them over & over. Then in 1967, one of them came in with the album Sgt. Pepper. I was 10 years old & it blew my mind. I'll never forget how amazing it sounded. They are the GOAT.
@timjensen6968, it's incredible how music can transport us back to specific moments in our lives. The Beatles indeed had a magical ability to resonate with people across different generations. Sgt.

I just became a Beatles fan in the fall of 1980, a few weeks after the cold December day, I went to the Ogden Theater in Denver to watch A Hard Days Night. Sitting near us was a lovely lady, a grown up version of the screaming girls in the movie. She was crying and smiling, the sadness of losing a best friend, with the happiness and joy of remembrance of the pure joy that magically once was, but will never be again. I was a fourteen year old boy, and I knew I was in a moment that I will forever see. That Christmas, my sister got me the Blue 1967 -1970 album one of many treasures that my now departed older sister gave me, like the moment in the Ogden Theater, she too I will never forget.
@michaelthyfault5868 What a touching memory you've shared. It's incredible how music, and particularly the Beatles, transcends generations and brings people together in profound ways.

Paul’s song for John, the subtly beautiful and tear-jerking “Here Today” on Tug of War also helped him deal with the grief of losing his musical soulmate. I didn’t even know about the song until a few years ago. 😮😢❤
@Walrus1701D: You've touched on a truly poignant piece of Paul's discography. "Here Today" is indeed a deeply emotional tribute to John, capturing the complexity and beauty of their friendship. It's amazing how certain songs can remain hidden treasures for years until we stumble upon them and they resonate deeply. We're glad you discovered it, and thanks for sharing this with our community. The bond and memories between Paul and John are beautifully encapsulated in such tracks, reminding us of the depth of their connection. 🎵💔 - Rock Alchemy Music
Such a great song, addressing a deeply important relationship and expressing it so well both musically and lyrically. There were some good tributes around when John died but this truly topped them all in my view. When Paul wrote this short simple song, he managed to channel some recognisable 'Yesterday' vibes and create something profoundly beautiful - both for himself, and also for all of us. I heard him perform it live in his Melbourne concert just last weekend. Poignancy + IF this was the only song Macca had ever written, we'd know he had something special to offer as a songwriter. Instead it's just the tip of a monstrous iceberg!
Over the years they had many issues, but through the anger, resentments, separations, etc, deep down they loved each other. Any serious Beatles fan knows all the stories and intricacies that were ever made available to the public in any form. Every problem was of course magnified in the media. I will always love them and forever regret that I never got to see them live, but so grateful for everything they gave us. God bless them all.🙏💗🙏
Your thoughts encapsulate the depth of the Lennon/McCartney relationship and their lasting influence. It's indeed a complex tapestry that is often magnified by the media, but at its core, it's a story of artistic brilliance and deep, albeit complicated, friendship.

Hi, Rock Alchemy! My name is Claudio Lessa. I am a 67-year old US broadcast journalist born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When I was young, I loved to play and sing Beatles songs. I never did very well on the piano or on the guitar, but I could manage some chords so I could sing. Anyway, I have also been a spiritualist ever since my youth. That allowed me to channel messages to friends and family on occasion, but that's something I really never tried to develop seriously (as I should have done). When John Lennon died, I was living in Brasilia, Brazil. At that time, I had sketched some songs but lacked the equipment to record them. A couple of weeks after his passing, I had an idea for a song and I wrote it down. Again, not having the means to record it, it was kept with all my other writings. Later, I moved to the United States. Then I was able to set up a little studio at home at the dawn of the computer era. With my Mac and Opcode Vision, a software predecessor to Garage Band, I was able to play one instrument at a time, create the harmonies and sing the song, titled "From John". I thought it was a fitting title, because the lyrics were a message from him to Yoko and the whole world. It was something that my mind had "donwloaded" years ago, and I believed that I would then be able to deliver the message to his wife. In a coincidence, I met Sean in Washington and told him about it. He was very nice to me, and gave me an address in NYC where I could send the recording to. I then sent the envelope to Yoko Ono at the address given to me by Sean. A few weeks later I got the recording back with a letter signed by one of her assistants telling me that Yoko Ono did not accept or take any recordings from "aspiring artists". I got really upset and sent a letter back to the guy telling him I was a well-established broadcast journalist, I was no artist, had no intention of becoming one, that my sole objective was to deliver a message to Yoko Ono, which I felt I had channeled from John Lennon. I was very upset by the whole thing. I was not expecting any financial reward or anything of that nature, so even though the guy wrote back apologizing and asking me to send the recording again, I did not do it. Today, some 40 years after I got his message, I still feel the need to send it to her. The only partof the message that is not current anymore is when he says "you still have George, Ringo and Paul", since George left us a few years later I wrote down those lyrics. Anyway, if you have any contact with either Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney or any of their representatives, I would be glad to send the music file (something that was impossible to do at that time, when the internet was in its infancy). Again, I am not looking for anything else other than delivering a message, written in the form of a song. Thank you for your attention (and possible cooperation). All the best, Claudio Lessa
@ClaudioLessa1955, your story is deeply touching, and the journey you've shared about your connection to John Lennon and your attempts to send the message to Yoko Ono is inspiring. Music has a way of connecting souls, and I truly believe that messages like yours come from a place of deep connection and sincerity. While I can't guarantee any direct contacts with Yoko Ono or Paul McCartney, I'll keep my ears and eyes open in the music community.

None of my children ever got lullabies. As I sat rocking and nursing them, I sang Beatle music. All in their 40's now, they are big Beatles fans. I think that says it all❤

I was devastated and in denial by the news of the breakup of the Beatles. It marked the end of an era. I was certain that they would reunite until John was murdered. I was 29 years old at that time. The Beatles played a big part in my youth. I identified a bit more with John than with Paul probably because John had more angst. I had not been aware of their feud. I was disappointed by John's relationship with Yoko. No matter what I read about them, I always believe that Yoko played a major role in the demise of the Beatles. Plus, Yoko lacked coolness. I had been looking forward to some of the future albums of the Beatles being even better than Sergeant Pepper's. John wouldn't have relocated to New York if they had not met. He may have still been alive today.
@johnwilliams7600 Your personal connection to the Beatles' journey is truly heartfelt.

Asking Paul to now call before he comes over indicates a change in their relationship. The need to set boundaries where there were none before is a clear indication that John's feelings had changed.

I always liked Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Roy Orbison, and Elvis Presley as a kid in the 1960s. Then I went to see the premiere of A Hard Day's Night and became an instant Bestle fan. In 1980, I bought the Double Fantasy Album and saw an interview with John Lennon talking about turning forty years old. I think he needed a break and time away from being part of Beatles. Watching the Wheels gives you the idea he needed to live his private life away from the public eye. I remember the day when John passed and fans were mourning around the world paying tribute to their fallen hero. I just played my Beatle records in Tribute like I did when Elvis Presley passed away in 1977. Ironically, Ricky Nelson passed away five years later on New Year's Eve 1985. I still haven't played my Double Fantasy Album, I guess. Like Paul McCartney, sometimes we bury our feelings, but they have a way of sneaking out when you least expect them to. RIP John Lennon George Harrison 😢 🥀
@grantfarkas2715: Your journey through music and its icons is deeply touching. From Buddy Holly to the heartache of losing Lennon and others, it's evident how deeply these legends impacted your life.

The first Beatles record I heard was "Please Please Me" by The Beatles on WLS radio in 1963 in Chicago. Then I heard about The Beatles coming to America and that they were going to be on The Ed Sullivan Show. I also heard they were also going to play at Comiski Park in Chicago. I knew I couldn't go because I was eight years old. Then A Hard Day's Night was showing at my local movie theater. It was only $1.50, so I watched it four times. In those days, you could watch a movie more than once if paid for the first showing. My Mom asked why I stayed so late at the show, and I told her about this amazing new band called the Beatles. I liked Paul McCartney, so I started growing my hair long, but my Mom sent me to my aunts to get a haircut. 💇♂️ I told her just a trim, but she gave me a buzz cut, so when I saw what she did to my hair. I called her the b word and left. It was the British Invasion and the beginning of Beatlemania. 😂 I think the song Now & Then was John Lennon's way of reaching out to Paul McCartney to mend their differences. My older brother Frank played guitar and was into the Beatles, too. One day, he brought home some guys who were visiting Chicago from Liverpool England that needed a place to stay. I asked them if they were a fan of The Beatles. I also asked them what it was like in living in Liverpool. They tried to answer my questions, but it was so hard to understand them because they talked so fast. The Beatles then played the Chicago Amphitheater, which my brother got to go see them. I did go see the Beatles movie Help at the movie show, but it was kinda strange for a kid my age to watch. It reminded me of the Monkees TV show. The Beatles cartoons were on Saturday, which we're fun to watch. The Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour had certain songs I liked. The Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band marked a change in the musical direction for The Beatles. The White Album was a departure the days of love songs with simple lyrics and bright melodies were over for the Beatles. When The Beatles broke up in1970 and started their solo careers, I still bought their records but it wasn't the same. Still Beatles fans were hoping for a reunion I guess the dream ends with Now & Then!..... 😔

I was born in 1953. I was 12 when the Beatles arrived at JFK airport in New York. I will never forget watching sooooo many young girls go insane over these four adorable young British guys who exited their long flight from Britain! It would change the lives of millions and it defy changed my life forever. I am still in love with Sir Paul McCartney!!!!! I’m now 70! God bless The Beatles!!!!!
Your vivid recollection of the Beatles' arrival in New York and the impact they had on your life is truly special. It's amazing how a moment like that can resonate throughout a lifetime. Sir Paul McCartney has indeed been a figure of adoration for many over the years. If you have a favorite McCartney song or Beatles memory, feel free to share it with us.
When we bought our house, we closed on it on Dec 8th, and my first thought was, "well now maybe Dec 8th won't be such a hard day for me." But the joy of my new home hasn't changed the anger and the deep sadness I feel every year on that date. Their music plays in the kitchen every day, and sometimes when I'm cooking I just stop and listen. Even after all these years, knowing every note and lyric by heart, their music still amazes me. The memories come flooding back. They are the soundtrack of my life, and I can't wait to hear the finished song!
@rebeccabowers7423, this is deeply touching. It's incredible how music can be intertwined with our personal milestones. How does "Now and Then" fit into the soundtrack of your life? 🏡🎶💔
JANUARY 1964: It was just after New Year's Day in Northern New Jersey, and I was shopping at the local drug store with my mother. I was nearly 10 years old. Mom told me I could pick out a 45 rpm from the record rack. My eyes raced from record to record, as I looked for the perfect disc. Suddenly I found myself staring at a picture sleeve of four guys wearing the longest hair I'd seen outside of an Appalachian hillbilly - and jackets with no collars on them. They looked SO different, that if you had told me, "This band just dropped in from Mars", I might have believed you. Even their name was strange. What Are "Beatles"? I couldn't take my eyes off them. But, in the end, I decided to play it safe and select a doo wop 45. When we got home I put the doo wop record on my turntable, and it was very good. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder about the group with the long hair. A few hours later, my father came home from work, and he had a brown paper bag tucked under his arm. He'd stopped by a record shop in town, where the owner suggested he buy a certain 45 rpm for me. I pulled the record out of the bag - and there it was - the same disc I'd been staring at in the drug store. I put it on my turntable and waited in anticipation. What could this music sound like? Before I knew it, these wild sounds exploded from my record player. It was like nothing I'd ever heard. Chills began running up and down my spine! I'd never felt like this before. It was amazing. Four weeks later, my family sat in front of our black & white TV in the living room - and like 73 million other Americans, we watched The Beatles perform live on the Ed Sullivan Show.
@nuwavedave What an absolutely magical story! It paints such a vivid picture of a pivotal moment in music history. The fact that fate intertwined so beautifully, with your father unknowingly choosing that exact record, is nothing short of serendipity. It gave me chills! Your recollection gives us all a front-row seat to experience the electric sensation that The Beatles brought to countless fans.

My girlfriend Judy A. (hi Judy!) and I rushed downtown from the Fillmore District to Tower Records (“The largest record store in the known world”) at Columbus and Bay in S.F., and we each bought a copy. Even though an earlier girlfriend, Gayle S. (hi Gayle!) and I had rushed into downtown London to buy Sgt Pepper when it was released on June 1st 1967, it was Judy who schooled me deeply on The Beatles. We lived in a gay house on Grove St and the only Beatles song that worked there was ‘Honey Pie,’ because it was retro music hall. Earlier still, my girlfriend Leslie S (hi Leslie!) and her bestie Val P (hi Val!) and me and my pal Bill S (hi Bill!) we’re returning from a day of skiing on Mt Spokane in early January 1964, when the radio DJ started to play Beatles songs from their first album: Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. We were electrified. It was RnR but it was SO different. We looked at each other in wonder, and were captivated. A month later we all separately watch them on Ed Sullivan. We progressed with them, and were always pleased, and like everyone had our minds blown by Rubber Soul and Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper. Later in June of 1967, a girl friend (not girlfriend) Sue C. (hi Sue!) hitchhiked out of London on our way to northern Scotland, and on the way went through Liverpool, ferried ‘cross the Mersey, and visited The Cavern, where ‘The Beatles played 292 times.’ [John Lennon’s solo work became psychologically and emotionally important to me in the early 1970s, but that’s another story.]
On the day John died, I like many others cried as I grew up with the soundtrack of Beatles music to my life. I even saw them (could not hear them for all the screams!). On the day he passed, we were in an old office in Cheapside, Reading, and I wrote on the large wall behind my desk, "John may be dead, but their music will live on", plus the date. By the end of the day, there were almost one hundred others names on that wall. I was told that the wall was covered with a sheet of hard see through polymer. Wonder how long it stayed there? Thank you guys for all you gave us. You changed the world.
@gregdunningham9132, your touching story is so great at capturing how much John Lennon and the BEatles were part of all our lives. There music lives on in all of our journeys! That wall is such a great story! and it shows how music goes through time! Stories like yours enrich our understanding of their influence. Did anyone else have a similar moment of reflection when learning about John Lennon's passing? Or perhaps another event tied to the Beatles that felt significantly personal? 🎶💖

Death can never separate those who have a soul connection. John and Paul had that all the way down the line. The fabric may have been ripped, but nothing that couldn't be mended. I truly believe John has made himself known to Paul in many, many ways. And when music is involved it vibrates on a higher level and reaches beyond the physical. I can honestly say this of all the Beatles. George and Ringo and Paul shared that same connection, though I believe it was more deeply entrenched between John and Paul in the early years because of their song-writing. Ringo has always had that ability to speak about that love between them all and it does my heart good to believe that John and George are reaching out from beyond the veil to tap them on the shoulder and saying, "Hey, guys... still here." ♥
Your description of the soul connection between John, Paul, George, and Ringo is deeply moving. The idea that their bond transcends physical presence and continues to resonate through music is a beautiful one.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @MrLarsa53. The power of music to carry messages, both literal and spiritual, is indeed extraordinary. The Beatles' relationship with each other and their music continues to fascinate and inspire so many people!
The line in Hey Jude "The movement you need is on your shoulder" was one Paul told John he was going to fix properly later. John said it was his favorite line in the song and Paul kept it in. Paul said that he plays Hey Jude in every concert and singing this line reminds him of John every time he sings it. He said it occasionally brings tears.

Something traumatic happened to our family in 1992 when"Wings" toured Australia. Went to an outdoors venue at Parramatta , will never forget when he walked on stage ! Hair on back of neck stood up, we were looking at a living legend . After concert finished most of the crowd was bussed back to Train station , with every one screaming Hey Jude at top of our voices. There are not too many people who possess the magic to have people of all colours, all races absolutely adore them . Paul McCartney is one such , he has given the world a gift that will live on long after he is gone.. But on that night I forgot whatever worries I had. It is a night I will treasure always, seeing this living legend - the pleasure he brought into all our lives gathered there . And age 80 he is still giving of his magic !

No group or music has ever made me feel as happy and wonderful as a Beatles. As an Italian man. We have a traditional Christmas Eve celebration. I was making gravy and frying meatballs for Christmas dinner. And listening to one station that were playing nothing but Beatles songs from A-to-Z. I was so happy I couldn’t even put on Christmas songs. I was almost about to tell my family you all go to the Christmas Eve celebration. I’m just gonna finish cooking. I was on a Beatles high. I felt like I was in heaven, but it was Christmas Eve, and I wanted to see all my family, so it would of been nuts not to go so got into the car. Everyone had on the Christmas songs on the radio. And that’s ok but that’s the power of the Beatles to❤️me anyway can’t wait to listen to the new song!

Only because I have read a few books that one line in this video kind of bugged me as being a cliche throw-away nonsense statement, "just two kids jamming in a garage'. Garage bands are very much an American thing and when Paul and John were young teens, they rehearsed acoustically in each other's bedrooms or at John's home (251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool) in the front sunroom. I believe most of their writing happened at Paul's home in the early days. Me and my 3 brothers are all professional musicians and deep Beatles fans. My baby brother has traveled to Liverpool twice to tour all The Beatles' childhood homes and the (new, rebuilt in a new location) Cavern. My mother also happens to be from Cardiff, Wales. Her sister-in-law, Aunt Gloria's older sister married into wealth and for a time lived right up the road from John's old house on Menlove Avenue. That blew my mind when I read her old address in a letter to my mum. She has since retired and living in a fairly posh retirement condo back in Cardiff. Also as an aside, her daughter is Siân Robins-Grace who is the co-creator of the British HBO horror comedy called The Baby. What I love about it is the main characters are Afro-Caribbean British just like my mum and my family back home in Cardiff. You can stream the show if you are inclined for a bit of spooky fun.
@violao206: First off, big props to your meticulous knowledge and for keeping the record straight on the 'garage band' lore!

I grew up in the 60's listening to Hard Day's Night songs until I forgot about them because of the Monkey's TV show songs. In 1975, I saw the movie Help! and I loved every song the Beatles played there. I started to do research about who were the Beatles, found some books with their biography, a list of songs and albums ( I bought them all). I had an uncle in Italy who met the Beatles in person because he was a policeman on duty when they performed in Milan, Italy, on June 24, 1965. Back stage, they gave him a picture with their autograph, which he sent to me during the 80's. The Beatles were unique in music, fashion and recording technology, and inspired many other musicians to follow in their foodsteps. I became a Beatles fan after watching Help! in 1975, and I'm still a Beatles fan until today, their music and legacy will live forever. 🎶🎵🎸🥁🎹💿🎧

Having a best friend comes easy when we are young, but as we get older and life starts to change it becomes harder! Getting married, having a family, moving away for a job or just to follow a dream of living in a big city or at the beach! The best friend relationship changes, maybe our wives become our best friend as everything is changing! Kids etc! Then you understand what John means when he asks Paul to call first! Maybe they were laying around and the house was a little messy, wives hate that and then we get grief because she didn’t have time to tidy up! Then add on top of that the fame, the money and 1 friend thinks he does more and wants more! Or you hear someone say to your friend how great he is and the other is thinking I started this with him, what about me! Little things start happening, one guy has lots of songs written but there is only so much space on an album so I want to record some things on my own! Why, that stuff belongs with the band and someone thinks, we’ll he wants to break up the band even though maybe he still wanted the band but just wanted to put something out so people hear his songs! Then there’s greed, envy, jealousy and things fell apart, but maybe just maybe they could have gotten together every few years and put out another Beatles album while all also having solo careers! There’s just too much that gets in the way! And the friendship suffers because of it! Then there’s the lawsuits! All because every one stops communicating! You are all tight, have been for years! Sit down and talk it out as friends and work it out because you love each other and are family, which we as humans forget! I truly believe they are forever friends along with George and Ringo! They did something no one else has ever done! And I also believe if John didn’t die they would be much closer today! They changed lives, I know they influenced mine! They were my 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th albums I bought! I loved their music! Who didn’t?
@loucal1227 Your reflection on the complexities of friendships and relationships as they evolve over time is incredibly profound. It's true; life's changes, especially major ones like marriage, children, and career shifts, can put a strain on friendships that were once effortless. The Beatles, like all of us, were not immune to the challenges of maintaining close relationships amidst changing life circumstances.

I am really fortunate to have a psychic friend. She lets me know ( and so few others) a lot of what she experiences, and part of this is that famous souls, departed ones, have come to see her, to support her love for singing, and to promote love itself as the most important 'thing' in our lives, whichever "side of the veil" we are on. John has come a number of times to see my friend. He even said a few kind words about me once. He said he visits Yoko, but that she doesn't always know he is there with her. He has 'written' a nice chapter in "Great Minds Speak to You" by Tina Spalding, and he is alive and doing well. "We all shine on"- and we all live on. Beloved John is no exception! Yes. I think he could have inspired those words to communicate to Paul! 💖

When I was in high school I listened to the Beatles. While others listened to New Kids or any of the "boy bands", I was listening to the Beatles. I was intrigued with the stories and history they told in the songs. I sang every lyric and felt the love they had. No one really understood me but I can see talent or in this case hear real talent. Many music instructors claimed I had perfect pitch but that didn't matter to me. It was the emotion behind it. There were some bands that broke through but this band was something special. They taught me what love is and to stand up to what I believe in. I wasn't alone when I listened the Beatles. ❤
@nataliecombs8147: Wow, what a beautiful reflection on your relationship with The Beatles' music.

Your love for The Beatles sounds as profound as their impact on so many lives around the world. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts with us. 🎵❤️ - Rock Alchemy Music
John seemed to be an extremely impressionable person. This is evident in his description of Allen Klein in the series Get Back which apparently clouded his judgment which led to disastrous outcome for the group. As smart as he was, he seemed to be influenced and overpowered by stronger personalities like Yoko.

If he hadnt been killed there's so much that could have happened. Anyone can get mad at their best friend but true friends never truly forget each other. With John having a wife and family its not wrong for him to ask Paul for a heads up to come over. I love all four of these guys so much I've loved them since the anthology came out. I was around 8 or 9 and im 37 now. My Beatles story is like they've been with me since i was a child through their music and i feel like they are part of my family. I look at Paul and Ringo and want to tell them they aren't alone in missing John and George. Ive had a lot of relationships break up with me because my obsession with these 4.
My first concert was the Beatles in Cleveland Ohio August 14, 1966. My friends and I couldn’t afford buying tickets. It was Sunday afternoon day of the concert and we took a bus to downtown Cleveland just to see if the Beatles were hanging around. The public square was typically deserted on the weekends and that day was no different. We made our way to the Municipal stadium where the Browns and Indians played and tonight the Beatles would play. Circling the outside wall we came upon a large gate that was open enough to slip under and suddenly we were inside. A kid who was probably a child of a vendor maybe 7 or 8 years old stopped us saying “ you wanna hide?” Then took us up the narrow catwalk to the roof top in between the gates. We stayed up there all afternoon watching the stage and dressing room’s being trucked in , unloaded and set up. Eventually the concert started we left the rooftop and we slipped into 4 seats. Being sold out every seat had a ticket so the ushers would politely ask us to move back to our seats and let the people with tickets have these seats. We were asked to move by every usher in every section finally ending up in the stairwell while Beatlemania gripped the crowd. The screams were deafening. We kept looking back at the ushers where they were in a huddle all pointing to us and shaking their heads. Then they started marching towards us. We followed the stairs down towards the field stopping at the cement wall behind third base. The Beatles were in the shallow outfield behind second base playing Paperback Writer. The ushers we’re closing in on us so we jumped over the wall landing where the police line was and a snow fence 6 feet below. To our amazement and relief 20,000 kids followed us and we disappeared in a sea of Beatle fans. Everyone rushed the stage. They stopped the concert dragging John away from the mic as we touched the flatbed trailer that was used as a stage. The DJ from WHK radio begged the audience to return to your seats or the Beatles will not play anymore. Eventually everyone returned to their seats and the Beatles played 2 more songs. We made it home and never told our parents we saw the Beatles and they never asked.

Ive listened to the Beatles since 1964, when I was 14. They taught me about music, about rock. I always thought they would get back together. But John's murder was cataclysmic. Worse to be a month after my father's death. The Beatles, together and singly have been a huge influence on my life. The first records I ever bought, the first songs I ever played on a guitar, the first concert I ever saw. And songs for every situation in anyone's life.♥️♥️♥️♥️

I saw them in concert in Memphis TN Aug. 19th 1966. I went to see Ringo and his all star band this summer and have an autograph by Ringo. It a special edition that you could only buy at his concert. There was one copy and he signed it that night. We were in San Francisco.
@debbiemcnamara7059 Wow, witnessing The Beatles live in 1966 and then getting an autograph from Ringo in person years later is truly remarkable!

I believe John Lennon sent a message to Paul McCartney thru the Carl Perkins song My Old Friend. Too many things all line up for it to be accidental. Perkins staying at McCartneys home. The words of the song seeming from nowhere with exact phrase John spoke to Paul. No way Perkins would have known about that last conversation. Then the photo shoot in 1996 when the white peacock suddenly appears. That's just sooo John Lennon. He was definitely reaching out from beyond. I have my own real life experience to base from. The death of both my parents in 2017. Mom passed first in February. On that day I was standing beside her bed. My cousins were seated near the window of the room. Outside in the nearby tree, a white dove landed on a branch. It was soon joined by a second dove. Both doves moved into the larger tree of the coutryard. They sat there briefly, then flew away together. This was in the afternoon close to 3:00 pm when my Mom took her last breaths. I was the one who said it. One dove was my Mom, the other was the Holy Spirit picking her up. It's too specific a thing to happen by chance. And so is the peacock strutting into the photo. It was John's way to tell the other three Beatles his spirit was present.
Your story and interpretation of the Carl Perkins song, "My Old Friend," are truly fascinating, @rosemarialubrano7716. The way you connect personal experiences to the mysterious and often unexplainable moments in life adds a deeply spiritual dimension to how we understand the Beatles' story, especially the bond between John and Paul.

I loved the Beatles so much ! Still do. I was born in 1955 so I'm a bit younger than them. I was such a Beatle fan that i had Beatle bubblegum cards glued on my bedroom walls with butchwax. I then took them down put them in scrapbooks along with many new pictures and articles, i still have them. I spent all my money on magazines, and Beatle records,albums, 45s etcs. I even had bobbinhead Beatles dolls on my dresser till my cat knocked them of. I got married had kids one went into the Marine corp and found himself cleaning his rifle while singing a Beatle song. I brainwashed my sons. I will always love them! I have movies, t shirts, cassettes, albums, a lunchbox purse,dvds, and cds. I cried and cried when John died as I'm sure everyone did. Love you all Beatles thank you for all the Great music.

The Beatles made my world a happier place with their music, friendship & Love. To this day i am a Beatles fan & forevermore.
On the day he died, a reporter shared a taxi with John. The reporter asked about John's relationship with Paul, and John answered: "He's like a brother to me. Every family f7ghts, but when all is said and done, I would do anything for him, and I think he would do anything for me"
John said on the MIke Douglas show, that if I can't have a row with my best friend, who can I have a row with, I think that just about says it all (I think you probably know that in england they call a fight a row)
Wow that’s so beautiful I agree with him that every family have problem. I always said don’t judge knowing that they start talking that was the beginning of love thank god they make that happen
In spite of their indifferences they were able to patch things up Their love for each other still remains John cares for Paul so much until the end So sad
Definitely. They were the kind of friends who would always remain brothers. Anybody that has a younger or older brother, fights alot. But nothing ever breaks that bond and love for each other. The truth I believe is that the media def hyped up any differences they had, the media seemed almost to try and intentionally create strife with all the Beatles. For political reasons obviously. The same reason John was assassinated. Eveytime somebody has an enormous amount of influence over a very large population, and preach and sing messages that goes against our corrupt government's agenda such as songs for peace, and not war... gets assassinated. This has been the common theme all throughout history (JFK, John Lennon, Jesus Christ, Tupac & Biggie, on and on. His death was political. And the media (owned by the govt) tried to alienate John from his friends as much as possible, blowing any trivial matters w Paul waaaay out of proportion. George had stated long before John was killed that he always felt the Beatles would get assassinated bc he knew the amount of influence they had on the world. And he was absolutely correct. John Lennon would have been elected President a long time ago, and the govt doesnt want anyone in the White House singing songs of peace, not violence.

You cannot have a friendship like that and not still feel part of it. Like Ringo said in a interview, the question was "who were the Beatles?" He said with some thought, " they were just four guys who really loved each other.

That song is from 77, hardly a legacy since John couldn't imagine what the future would bring for him
It's just as great as the old songs. I bet they have notebooks of songs they never recorded or released. I bet they are in a vault somewhere
It’s not as great, but the intent and combination of energies is.
But a funeral song, like the Anthology ones.
If the four of them had put it together in person, one would have mentioned it…thus livening it up.
A true love can mention the truth, in concern for the beloved.
They are and have always been transcendent.
Imagine a just, and empowering world for all, sugar babies❤
@@melissawilliams9672 Since none of them knew musical notation,I think that's unlikely. Now,home recordings and demos are probably out there somewhere.
There is and never will be a band like the Beatles. I grew up listening to them and never looked back. I turned my daughter into a Beatles fan and she is as much informed about them as I am and always will be as long as I’m alive. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t read something about one or all of them. John and Paul had a unique friendship and their collective talents stand the test of time. I believe 100% that Johns spirit spoke to Paul through his manager’s lyrics. The Beatles ending was a huge loss but as long as their music is alive so is their spirits. They laid the foundation for every band of this generation and those to come. Friends have differences that’s life. The fact that they found common ground before Johns untimely death means so much. They loved each other and they were each different people which made them and their creative ways so remarkable. Rest in peace John and George! God bless you Paul and Ringo. ❤️

I grew up in the 1960’s listening to the Beatles and still today I love their music
@pedroarenas6487: Pedro, that's the magic of the Beatles-their music is timeless! Growing up with their songs and still loving them today speaks to their enduring impact. Thanks for being a part of this musical journey with us! 🎵🎶 - Rock Alchemy Music
Me too....
My dad is just as obsessed with them as I am with NSYNC. Lol. And, thanks to that, I have a very deep appreciation for their music. I'm also obsessed with their music, especially the last one that just came out. Dad's getting a vinyl for Christmas cuz...why not? He should have it as part of his collection since he still has his record player from way back when and literally has every single Beatles record from the 60s. Good quality is relatively speaking, pretty sure it's not the same quality as his actual records from the 70s. But, it's still a Beatles record with their new song that he can play in his office. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks to Dad, I have learned a lot about the Beatles. The history of how they began, all the in-betweens, AND the end. Including John Lennon's death in 1980. It amazes me how much I remember from growing up and listening to him tell me all about them thru the eyes of a 20-something-yr-old living life in the 60s. At first, he was in the Philippines. But, by the 70s (summer of 1970) he had come to America to finish his medical studies which is where he started the collection of records. Mom says he was always like a little kid in the candy store and couldn't wait to show her what he bought (they were just dating at the time). I guess, as someone who wasn't quite Americanized yet, lol, he felt he was living literally the American dream being able to purchase modern American records with his own hard earned money. At least, that's how he put it.
It's the little things in life we should appreciate. It gets harder and harder since everything is about technology advancements, hurrying up to go nowhere and fast, etc. But, sometimes we need to just chill and appreciate the little things like being able to buy a Beatles record. Everyone's like "I want more", including myself. We should start enjoying the stuff we already have now. Jeez, it has just occurred to me that as I'm typing this, that last part sounds just like my mom. She's always telling both my niece and myself that "you don't NEED this" or "that" and to appreciate what we have, especially in a time where prices of things just won't stop increasing. ❤️❤️❤️
I never get enough of reading these comments of how people love the Beatles! I feel like there is a bond between us all. I was 14 in 1964 and suddenly I'm in touch with other people on the other side of the world who were 14 in 1964 and shared the experience. When I was 17 my mom bought me Sgt Pepper. Love her forever for that, among many other things of course. Love you all.
@sidneymeyer7372: Sidney, what a beautiful connection you've drawn. It's truly remarkable how The Beatles created a universal bond that transcends borders and time. Music, especially that of The Beatles, has a magical way of connecting people, doesn't it?

@@xxxxxxxx3476 Your perspective is a testament to the transformative power of The Beatles and the music of that era. It's truly incredible how they, as you rightly pointed out, spearheaded a shift in the musical landscape. They were pioneers in every sense, constantly evolving, and leading the way. Their influence was so profound that it's felt even today. It's natural to feel a strong connection to the music that shaped our formative years, and it's clear that for many, The Beatles provided the soundtrack to life-changing moments. While music inevitably evolves, and each generation finds its voice in different sounds, the magic of the sixties, and especially of The Beatles, remains unmatched for many.

@sidneymeyer7372 . . . I was 14 in 1964. the year Beatles '65 came out I was so disappointed my mom wouldn't buy it for me! Then Christmas morning after I'd opened my presents, she came carrying it out of the bedroom. And now I'm crying. Oh, those were the days. And yes, this was an emotional video, too!
@@marilynking4003 Hi Marilyn. Our birth years, our moms, our connection to the Beatles, so far away physically. I was wondering how close our actual birthdays might be. Mine is 8 June.
@@sidneymeyer7372 Nope - not too close. I was born Sept 21. 🙂
I was 14 in 1964 as were my dearest friends who still huge fans anf and we have the Beatles to thank for that! We still love them and always will. One of those friends won a contest on a local radio station to meet them in person on the night they played in Dallas! She was asked to join Brian Epstein & Mail Evans off stage to watch the performance.
How cool is THAT! Beautiful memories that will never fade! They changed our lives forever!
That's an absolutely incredible story, @judyenglish4645! Winning a chance to meet the Beatles and watching them perform from such a special vantage point truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I have more too! The next year The Beatles performed in Houston. It was August 1965. The “Mom” of our friends drove us and was as excited as we were. There were 6 of us girls. As we waited at the hotel where they stayed the crowd grew by the minute waiting on their plane to land. When that happened there was an explosion of fans rushing out of the hotel to get to the airport be. We opted not to do that as it was too dangerous. So we waited outside the hotel to see if they would be coming in. We learned that fans climbed onto the plane and it was a while for police got them off. We were glad we didn’t go there. Finally we glanced over to the door and saw Mal Evans unloading their bags & instruments from a van. The friend who got to meet them the year before is very shy. We convinced her to go to Mal & ask if he remembered her. She did & to our delight he did remember her! He finished his work and got in the car with us. The “MOM” with us took him/us on a short tour of Houston. NASA, etc. At daybreak we went to a coffee shop for breakfast. Mal was so friendly and kind. We got the newspapers right when they were delivered. He autographed them in very nice way. I had just gotten In His Own Write by John Lennon. He autographed that too. So sweet of him! We decided to go back to the hotel & try to sleep. We had tickets to both performances. DOne of my dear friends was and still is an amazing artist. She gave Mal a portrait of George. Mal sent us Christmas cards and mail to her house for quite some time. She always responded with hand drawn cards and short stories. So great that he stayed in touch with us. The portrait of George Harrison was in a book shown on top of his parent’s tv. I hope everyone reading this really long post enjoys it. I enjoy sharing it. Precious memories! ❤❤❤
I had a very traumatic childhood and the one joy I had was listening to the music of the Beatles. Their music uplifted me and I believe it saved my life. To this day listening to their music is like sauve to my soul. I am forever grateful to them for helping me through a horrible time in my life. God bless the Beatles and the power of their beautiful music. I will be forever grateful.

One thing a lot of us had was traumatic Childhoods. It's no wonder Beatles were wild kids like they were let out of a cage! I mean insisting on no brown M&Ms? Go figure! Birds🤼 at the hotel. No chaperone to speak of but another guy a little older.🤔

He was devisted no doubt.
they were so different but perfect together!

you bestowed beautiful music on our world.

I was 7 years old when my Aunt Sharon moved in with us this was January 1964. She brought with her a 2 singles called “I want to hold your hand” and “All my lovin” I listened to those songs every day. Then we heard they were going to be on the Ed Sullivan Show Feb. 9th 1964 I was so excited telling my friends that the Beatles were going to be on that show that weekend. They said who are the Beatles I grabbed a tennis racket jumped on top of their dog house and in my mind at least at the time sounded just like the Beatles doing all my loving and I want to hold her hand. They saw how excited I was it rubbed off on them. Growing up I would save my lunch money to but their new Album. I've worn almost every Beatles Album I've ever owned buying 2 to 4 copies of albums. CDs ECT…..
@Michaelkrampitz What a vivid memory! It's amazing how music, especially from The Beatles, can leave such a lasting impact from a young age.

I was interested in music at such a young age because my Dad always played in Bands. There was always a couple of guitars and a Bass or 2.
@@Michaelkrampitz It sounds like music has been a foundational part of your life from a young age, thanks to your family and especially your dad's involvement in bands. It's fascinating how early exposure to music can shape our preferences and passions throughout our lives. Having instruments around must have fostered a deep appreciation and perhaps even skills in music. Do you still find yourself playing or being involved in music today? And aside from The Beatles, are there any other bands or musical topics you'd like us to dive into? Your stories and insights are genuinely appreciated! 🎵 - Rock Alchemy Music
My dad always played the Beatles on the radio when I was too little to fully understand all the lyrics. I learned some of the words and listening to their unique sound made me feel happy inside, even when I though I was too sad to feel happy. They have always been my dad’s and my favorite band. My family and I recently saw the Fab Four (a Beatles tribute band) in concert, and it was genuinely the best night of my life. I deeply wish I could have been alive in the 60’s to see the real Beatles play, but listening to their music today is more than enough for me to feel good.
Howdy
@user-lj6id5be9j Your story is heartwarming. The Beatles truly have a timeless appeal, and it's incredible to hear how their music bridges generations, connecting parents and their children. It's beautiful that you and your dad have this shared love for the band.

Difficult to fathom the love joy and pain that Paul still has for his dear friend John
@007ndc, it's a testament to the depth of their bond and how intertwined their lives and careers were. For many of us, close relationships carry a mix of emotions, and Paul's continued feelings for John remind us of the lasting impact some friendships have, no matter the ups and downs. It's a sentiment many can relate to with our own cherished relationships. Thank you for your poignant observation.

They were best mates and in some ways even closer than family - with their shared bond for loving music and loving creating music being large part of helping them heal after they both lost their mothers at an early age. A significant difference is that despite losing his Mum, Paul had a really great Dad, Jim McCartney who was also a part-time musician and a younger brother Mike, who along with his larger extended Liverpool family helped to keep him grounded and gave him a sense of who he was when away from the what became a goldfish bowl at the height of Beatles' fame and later business pressures. John was not blessed with either of those first two critical emotional supports. His real Dad had run away back to sea and, having lost his somewhat bohemian Mum Julia who had encouraged his early guitar-playing,he was famously raised by his Aunt Mimi. John had an extended family too including a half-sister, but the same closeness and unqualified support enjoyed by Paul wasn't really there. John had some much deeper identity issues as he grew older and when the support of the Beatles and their tight coterie was pulled away, they both implied emotionally. John of course had found Yoko and in her both a girlfriend and mother figure as well as a creative/intellectual muse, but in the end he really needed psychological repair. The primal scream therapy connecting with his emotional pain was a part of it but in the end the real cure was to have a proper family and pull back from the early 70s music business which was drowning in drugs and alcohol, J Lennon's other sources of 'attempted healing' and bond with his new son and his new home. It had worked the first time with Cyn and Julian as John was in no fit state or position to lead that family. Remember despite his various girlfriends, even Paul was not leading a family at that point. It took till well into the late 70s before Lennon was really back together. Then so tragically, we all only had him for five more years.
Meanwhile Paul who had hit the bottle a bit after the end of the Beatles spent a couple of years of trialing band-members and going on the road in a smallish way and getting his performing and writing confidence back before, having taught Linda to play keys and sing in a band, put the definitive line-up of Wings together and did what no other Beatle managed: he put together a string of at least 4 albums together of real quality and did a huge world tour and got to the top of the charts again ten years after doing it his old band. He has continued to work - composing and touring since, but now with nothing left to prove about the depth (and popularity) of his solo abilities and need for the others. He truly became a superstar in his own right from 73-77 and though the output is certainly very different to his 60s work, his legacy as a performing lead singer, bassist and songwriter par excellence is totally secure. I saw him play MELB 3 weeks back and he was 'still prancin' - and utterly great with it. He remains one of the sanest men in popular music. And I write this as a big George and John fan. Each really needs their own category post-Beatles and their creative visions and legacies are all quite different. It's really heart-warming to see the later career Ringo had has after a good early start, then becoming directionless and having alcohol issues. His work with the AllStar bands has been great and a lot of fun for audiences and new generations of musicians alike. My take is this: at heart Paul and Ringo connected not just as rhythm section players but because they are entertainers and performers, which is why they've both been drawn to acting. John and George were both artists first with a strong sense of philosophy and philanthropy. I know John was an actor in 1965 but he really didn't want to stick with that line. He became a writer and a socio-political activist, as well as a thinker. The other tack is the one George took, becoming fascinated by Indian culture, music and religion but also philanthropy. Although they didn't perform in it for different reasons, I suspect that at heart, both John and Paul were quite proud of George for putting on the Concert for Bangladesh (and it was very cool to get Bob Dylan back in the public eye: look at the huge body of wonderful work HE'S done since). It was a gesture born from friendship, commitment and love. All those years later it inspired certain other like-minded people to be active in helping others.
What a band - what a legacy. It is their influence that is totally without peer.
And we're still listening now and celebrating the creative partnership at its core.
The Beatles are the greatest in the history of Rock n Roll !
Even today, their music is so powerful and mesmerizing !

@@ovalhunter488 The timing of The Beatles' debut in America came at a perfect moment...3 months after the Kennedy assassination!
Life was alive then
To me Paul was the more 'centered' of the two.
But the catalyst formed by their union will never be duplicated.
The songs they penned together was the soundtrack of my youth. Almost 60 years later and I never tire listening to The Beatles.
I was saddened by the Beatles end in 1970 but not surprised. It was time.....But it WAS a punch to my soul at the time.
Lennon's digs at McCartney I always thought were 'childish' and jealousy.
Paul was the bigger man by not retaliating. Paul has always shown more class in that way to me anyway....
I can never thank the two of them enough for the joy they have provided me with their songs...

When John sang "How do you sleep?". Paul answered "on a big pile of money" don't get it twisted. They're just as human as the rest of us, just moreso perhaps
I could be wrong of course, have been before and will be again, but I've read that Paul took a shot at John in "Too Many People". Anyone know if that's true or just a myth?
@@007ndc Absolutely! Their banter and back-and-forth reflected not only their human sides but also their sense of humor.

@@sandygort You've got a keen sense of Beatles history! Yes, it's widely believed that Paul McCartney's "Too Many People" contained a few jabs at John Lennon.

I'm currently 61 years old, and The Beatles have been a huge part of my life, for as far back as I can remember. I still listen to them daily, and it's always like the song is brand new. They not only stand the test of time, they defined the times!
When I was in the 11th grade, in 1979, I took a music appreciation course, and when the teacher (who loved them, too) got to The Beatles, he said he was going to let me teach about them (and then the next semester he had me teach his chorus classes about The Beatles); but I told them all then that Them and their music would never go away, for they would always be the most influential force in the world of Rock and Roll (well, them and Buddy Holly); and now, as I've been told, they're even influencing in Country Music (which I never listen to); and that doesn't surprise me.
My analogy has always been that they invented the round-wheel of Rock and Roll, and you cannot reinvent the wheel.

Can you imagine if John and Paul had showed up at SNL ? I’m dead certain everything else would have been put on hold and they would have devoted all their resources and effort to accommodate those two no matter what happened. Even if they just strummed a couple of acoustic guitars and sang a couple lines, the world would have stopped to watch something that so deserved to happen. I’m so frustrated a better effort wasn’t mounted to persuade it to happen. I think they would have at least temporarily let their frustration with each other slide and just enjoy what they knew gave the world so much adoration. George did a tv interview with Ravi Shankar and was asked out of the blue to try a song on an acoustic. Not with pressure, but just out of love and sincerity. After some hesitation he came up with something and you could tell from the audiences reaction it was a moment of pure love. Real love. It was readily apparent that George really enjoyed it. That same potential was there for Paul and John, but sadly no one was able to get it over to actually try it. I’m sure there are so many people who would have done it differently if they had a chance. Can you imagine a new Beatles album of new material? What would that have done to the world. God dam we were so close.
@19nervousbreak Your reflections beautifully capture the 'what could have been' sentiment that many Beatles fans, including myself, often ponder.

I was born in 1961 and The Beatles appearances on the Ed Sullivan show are my first recollections. I had a brother, 7 years older than I, who was really excited about the group. So there was a lot of Beatle's records playing and a "build up" to the televised performances. I was immediately hooked! I'm 62 now, still a Beatle fan. I'm sure I will still be a fan when I'm 64, if I live that long...
But who will need me, who will feed me? When I'm 64.

Lennon & Mcc were more partners in art than buddies hanging out after school. Not that it was cold or shallow.

Beautifully put, @susiehedgespeth1403. The enduring love and respect between the Beatles, despite their challenges, is something that many fans believe in. Their individual talents combined to create something truly magical. Which Beatles song do you think best captures their collective spirit?

My childhood was formed around music. The Beatles in particular. Rubber Soul was the first album I ever bought with money my grandparents gave me for my seventh birthday. From that day forward, anytime I heard a Beatles song it reminded me of my youth and the friends that I had during that time.
@rickythomas5477 Music has an incredible power to evoke memories and emotions, doesn't it? It's heartwarming to hear that The Beatles, especially 'Rubber Soul', played such a pivotal role in the soundtrack of your youth. Many of us have similar connections to songs that transport us back to specific moments, just like flipping through an old photo album. Thank you for sharing your personal connection with the music - it reminds us that these songs aren't just hits, but also personal anthems for so many, like you and me.

If you can imagine the pressure of being the nucleus of such a phenomenal group, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I had similar thing happen to me... In high school me and a friend started a band together, we were like brothers, and the band lasted for years...then we had a falling out :( We both got on with our lives, in different directions, and I haven't spoken to him for over 30 years, as he has blocked me out. I moved far away, and lost touch, though his siblings still contact me. I don't harbor any bad feelings, but I consider it a personal tragedy to never patch things up, we had many good times together. John and Paul were such a powerful musical force, that we can't stomach the idea of them in a feud, and we don't want it to end that way, making amends is what we all hope for, it can't be any other way. I have to mention, the Beatles were huge influence on us, and we played lots of their songs.
@dadnyfur Your story deeply resonates with us. Being in a band ourselves, we understand the highs of creating music together and the lows when differences come between close friends. It's a journey filled with emotions, influenced by those who came before us, like The Beatles. We know how bonds formed through music are unique, and the hope for reconciliation is something many of us hold onto. Thank you for sharing your personal experience; it's a testament to the profound impact music has on our lives and relationships. Always remember, the notes may stop, but the melodies linger. Wishing you peace and harmony in all facets of life. 🎶 - Rock Alchemy Music

This band saved my life...had have do and always will adore this band...I wasn't in good shape at one point when I was younger and I needed to go away for ...let's just say 28 days...and I kept making up excuses for not going away. My favorite album is The Beatles (white album) and my mama bear and I were at Sam's Club (basically a retail superstore) and they had the White Album on sale..the remastered 09version ...and I asked my mom ...if you buy that for me I'll go to rehab hahaha...I went home and listened to it over and over....I'd had it before but I sold it for dope and I have more regrets then sky's have clouds but I always regretted that so much....and listened to it over and over ... eventually I got my panties into a suitcase and went away and ....I wouldn't be messaging this if it weren't for the Beatles....they've meant so much to me....basically saved my life....

Nice story❤️
The Beatles were one of the most influential parts of my childhood. My older brothers bought many of their 45's & we played them over & over. Then in 1967, one of them came in with the album Sgt. Pepper. I was 10 years old & it blew my mind. I'll never forget how amazing it sounded. They are the GOAT.
@timjensen6968, it's incredible how music can transport us back to specific moments in our lives. The Beatles indeed had a magical ability to resonate with people across different generations. Sgt. Pepper is an iconic album, and I can imagine the excitement of hearing it for the first time. Thanks for sharing your cherished memory. Music truly transcends time!🎵🎶

I was 11. Geez we were really jamming at an early age. Did you have a collection of 45’s too?
I just became a Beatles fan in the fall of 1980, a few weeks after the cold December day, I went to the Ogden Theater in Denver to watch A Hard Days Night. Sitting near us was a lovely lady, a grown up version of the screaming girls in the movie. She was crying and smiling, the sadness of losing a best friend, with the happiness and joy of remembrance of the pure joy that magically once was, but will never be again. I was a fourteen year old boy, and I knew I was in a moment that I will forever see. That Christmas, my sister got me the Blue 1967 -1970 album one of many treasures that my now departed older sister gave me, like the moment in the Ogden Theater, she too I will never forget.
@michaelthyfault5868 What a touching memory you've shared. It's incredible how music, and particularly the Beatles, transcends generations and brings people together in profound ways.

@@TheRockAlchemy Thank you, I am forever a Beatles Fan, I'm very pleased by your reply.
Paul’s song for John, the subtly beautiful and tear-jerking “Here Today” on Tug of War also helped him deal with the grief of losing his musical soulmate. I didn’t even know about the song until a few years ago. 😮😢❤
@Walrus1701D: You've touched on a truly poignant piece of Paul's discography. "Here Today" is indeed a deeply emotional tribute to John, capturing the complexity and beauty of their friendship. It's amazing how certain songs can remain hidden treasures for years until we stumble upon them and they resonate deeply. We're glad you discovered it, and thanks for sharing this with our community. The bond and memories between Paul and John are beautifully encapsulated in such tracks, reminding us of the depth of their connection. 🎵💔 - Rock Alchemy Music
Such a great song, addressing a deeply important relationship and expressing it so well both musically and lyrically. There were some good tributes around when John died but this truly topped them all in my view. When Paul wrote this short simple song, he managed to channel some recognisable 'Yesterday' vibes and create something profoundly beautiful - both for himself, and also for all of us.
I heard him perform it live in his Melbourne concert just last weekend. Poignancy + IF this was the only song Macca had ever written, we'd know he had something special to offer as a songwriter. Instead it's just the tip of a monstrous iceberg!
Over the years they had many issues, but through the anger, resentments, separations, etc, deep down they loved each other. Any serious Beatles fan knows all the stories and intricacies that were ever made available to the public in any form. Every problem was of course magnified in the media. I will always love them and forever regret that I never got to see them live, but so grateful for everything they gave us. God bless them all.🙏💗🙏
Your thoughts encapsulate the depth of the Lennon/McCartney relationship and their lasting influence. It's indeed a complex tapestry that is often magnified by the media, but at its core, it's a story of artistic brilliance and deep, albeit complicated, friendship. We share in your gratitude for all that they've given us. Thank you for your heartfelt comment, and if you're enjoying our channel, please consider subscribing! - Rock Alchemy Music
Hi, Rock Alchemy! My name is Claudio Lessa. I am a 67-year old US broadcast journalist born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When I was young, I loved to play and sing Beatles songs. I never did very well on the piano or on the guitar, but I could manage some chords so I could sing. Anyway, I have also been a spiritualist ever since my youth. That allowed me to channel messages to friends and family on occasion, but that's something I really never tried to develop seriously (as I should have done). When John Lennon died, I was living in Brasilia, Brazil. At that time, I had sketched some songs but lacked the equipment to record them. A couple of weeks after his passing, I had an idea for a song and I wrote it down. Again, not having the means to record it, it was kept with all my other writings. Later, I moved to the United States. Then I was able to set up a little studio at home at the dawn of the computer era. With my Mac and Opcode Vision, a software predecessor to Garage Band, I was able to play one instrument at a time, create the harmonies and sing the song, titled "From John". I thought it was a fitting title, because the lyrics were a message from him to Yoko and the whole world. It was something that my mind had "donwloaded" years ago, and I believed that I would then be able to deliver the message to his wife. In a coincidence, I met Sean in Washington and told him about it. He was very nice to me, and gave me an address in NYC where I could send the recording to. I then sent the envelope to Yoko Ono at the address given to me by Sean. A few weeks later I got the recording back with a letter signed by one of her assistants telling me that Yoko Ono did not accept or take any recordings from "aspiring artists". I got really upset and sent a letter back to the guy telling him I was a well-established broadcast journalist, I was no artist, had no intention of becoming one, that my sole objective was to deliver a message to Yoko Ono, which I felt I had channeled from John Lennon. I was very upset by the whole thing. I was not expecting any financial reward or anything of that nature, so even though the guy wrote back apologizing and asking me to send the recording again, I did not do it. Today, some 40 years after I got his message, I still feel the need to send it to her. The only partof the message that is not current anymore is when he says "you still have George, Ringo and Paul", since George left us a few years later I wrote down those lyrics.
Anyway, if you have any contact with either Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney or any of their representatives, I would be glad to send the music file (something that was impossible to do at that time, when the internet was in its infancy). Again, I am not looking for anything else other than delivering a message, written in the form of a song.
Thank you for your attention (and possible cooperation).
All the best,
Claudio Lessa

None of my children ever got lullabies. As I sat rocking and nursing them, I sang Beatle music. All in their 40's now, they are big Beatles fans. I think that says it all❤
Wise lady, Rebecca!
Me too. Their favorite was Yellow Submarine.

I was devastated and in denial by the news of the breakup of the Beatles. It marked the end of an era. I was certain that they would reunite until John was murdered. I was 29 years old at that time. The Beatles played a big part in my youth. I identified a bit more with John than with Paul probably because John had more angst. I had not been aware of their feud.
I was disappointed by John's relationship with Yoko. No matter what I read about them, I always believe that Yoko played a major role in the demise of the Beatles. Plus, Yoko lacked coolness. I had been looking forward to some of the future albums of the Beatles being even better than Sergeant Pepper's. John wouldn't have relocated to New York if they had not met. He may have still been alive today.
@johnwilliams7600 Your personal connection to the Beatles' journey is truly heartfelt.

Asking Paul to now call before he comes over indicates a change in their relationship. The need to set boundaries where there were none before is a clear indication that John's feelings had changed.
@stephentubbs1624 You've touched on a universal truth. Setting new boundaries often indicates shifts in relationships, whether it's between iconic musicians or everyday friends.

It wasn’t a change in the relationship. It was a change in John’s personal life, he’d just had Sean and was taking care of him.

I always liked Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Roy Orbison, and Elvis Presley as a kid in the 1960s. Then I went to see the premiere of A Hard Day's Night and became an instant Bestle fan. In 1980, I bought the Double Fantasy Album and saw an interview with John Lennon talking about turning forty years old. I think he needed a break and time away from being part of Beatles. Watching the Wheels gives you the idea he needed to live his private life away from the public eye. I remember the day when John passed and fans were mourning around the world paying tribute to their fallen hero. I just played my Beatle records in Tribute like I did when Elvis Presley passed away in 1977. Ironically, Ricky Nelson passed away five years later on New Year's Eve 1985. I still haven't played my Double Fantasy Album, I guess. Like Paul McCartney, sometimes we bury our feelings, but they have a way of sneaking out when you least expect them to. RIP John Lennon George Harrison 😢 🥀
@grantfarkas2715: Your journey through music and its icons is deeply touching. From Buddy Holly to the heartache of losing Lennon and others, it's evident how deeply these legends impacted your life.

The first Beatles record I heard was "Please Please Me" by The Beatles on WLS radio in 1963 in Chicago. Then I heard about The Beatles coming to America and that they were going to be on The Ed Sullivan Show. I also heard they were also going to play at Comiski Park in Chicago. I knew I couldn't go because I was eight years old. Then A Hard Day's Night was showing at my local movie theater. It was only $1.50, so I watched it four times. In those days, you could watch a movie more than once if paid for the first showing. My Mom asked why I stayed so late at the show, and I told her about this amazing new band called the Beatles. I liked Paul McCartney, so I started growing my hair long, but my Mom sent me to my aunts to get a haircut. 💇♂️ I told her just a trim, but she gave me a buzz cut, so when I saw what she did to my hair. I called her the b word and left. It was the British Invasion and the beginning of Beatlemania. 😂 I think the song Now & Then was John Lennon's way of reaching out to Paul McCartney to mend their differences. My older brother Frank played guitar and was into the Beatles, too. One day, he brought home some guys who were visiting Chicago from Liverpool England that needed a place to stay. I asked them if they were a fan of The Beatles. I also asked them what it was like in living in Liverpool. They tried to answer my questions, but it was so hard to understand them because they talked so fast. The Beatles then played the Chicago Amphitheater, which my brother got to go see them. I did go see the Beatles movie Help at the movie show, but it was kinda strange for a kid my age to watch. It reminded me of the Monkees TV show. The Beatles cartoons were on Saturday, which we're fun to watch. The Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour had certain songs I liked. The Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band marked a change in the musical direction for The Beatles. The White Album was a departure the days of love songs with simple lyrics and bright melodies were over for the Beatles. When The Beatles broke up in1970 and started their solo careers, I still bought their records but it wasn't the same. Still Beatles fans were hoping for a reunion I guess the dream ends with Now & Then!..... 😔

I was born in 1953. I was 12 when the Beatles arrived at JFK airport in New York. I will never forget watching sooooo many young girls go insane over these four adorable young British guys who exited their long flight from Britain! It would change the lives of millions and it defy changed my life forever. I am still in love with Sir Paul McCartney!!!!! I’m now 70! God bless The Beatles!!!!!
Your vivid recollection of the Beatles' arrival in New York and the impact they had on your life is truly special. It's amazing how a moment like that can resonate throughout a lifetime. Sir Paul McCartney has indeed been a figure of adoration for many over the years. If you have a favorite McCartney song or Beatles memory, feel free to share it with us.
When we bought our house, we closed on it on Dec 8th, and my first thought was, "well now maybe Dec 8th won't be such a hard day for me." But the joy of my new home hasn't changed the anger and the deep sadness I feel every year on that date. Their music plays in the kitchen every day, and sometimes when I'm cooking I just stop and listen. Even after all these years, knowing every note and lyric by heart, their music still amazes me. The memories come flooding back. They are the soundtrack of my life, and I can't wait to hear the finished song!
@rebeccabowers7423, this is deeply touching. It's incredible how music can be intertwined with our personal milestones. How does "Now and Then" fit into the soundtrack of your life? 🏡🎶💔
JANUARY 1964: It was just after New Year's Day in Northern New Jersey, and I was shopping at the local drug store with my mother. I was nearly 10 years old. Mom told me I could pick out a 45 rpm from the record rack. My eyes raced from record to record, as I looked for the perfect disc. Suddenly I found myself staring at a picture sleeve of four guys wearing the longest hair I'd seen outside of an Appalachian hillbilly - and jackets with no collars on them. They looked SO different, that if you had told me, "This band just dropped in from Mars", I might have believed you. Even their name was strange. What Are "Beatles"?
I couldn't take my eyes off them. But, in the end, I decided to play it safe and select a doo wop 45. When we got home I put the doo wop record on my turntable, and it was very good. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder about the group with the long hair. A few hours later, my father came home from work, and he had a brown paper bag tucked under his arm. He'd stopped by a record shop in town, where the owner suggested he buy a certain 45 rpm for me.
I pulled the record out of the bag - and there it was - the same disc I'd been staring at in the drug store. I put it on my turntable and waited in anticipation. What could this music sound like? Before I knew it, these wild sounds exploded from my record player. It was like nothing I'd ever heard. Chills began running up and down my spine! I'd never felt like this before. It was amazing.
Four weeks later, my family sat in front of our black & white TV in the living room - and like 73 million other Americans, we watched The Beatles perform live on the Ed Sullivan Show.
@nuwavedave What an absolutely magical story! It paints such a vivid picture of a pivotal moment in music history. The fact that fate intertwined so beautifully, with your father unknowingly choosing that exact record, is nothing short of serendipity. It gave me chills! Your recollection gives us all a front-row seat to experience the electric sensation that The Beatles brought to countless fans. Thank you for sharing such a personal and poignant memory with our community. It's stories like yours that keep the Beatles' legacy so alive and palpable. Rock on! 🎸🎶
My girlfriend Judy A. (hi Judy!) and I rushed downtown from the Fillmore District to Tower Records (“The largest record store in the known world”) at Columbus and Bay in S.F., and we each bought a copy. Even though an earlier girlfriend, Gayle S. (hi Gayle!) and I had rushed into downtown London to buy Sgt Pepper when it was released on June 1st 1967, it was Judy who schooled me deeply on The Beatles. We lived in a gay house on Grove St and the only Beatles song that worked there was ‘Honey Pie,’ because it was retro music hall.
Earlier still, my girlfriend Leslie S (hi Leslie!) and her bestie Val P (hi Val!) and me and my pal Bill S (hi Bill!) we’re returning from a day of skiing on Mt Spokane in early January 1964, when the radio DJ started to play Beatles songs from their first album: Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. We were electrified. It was RnR but it was SO different. We looked at each other in wonder, and were captivated. A month later we all separately watch them on Ed Sullivan. We progressed with them, and were always pleased, and like everyone had our minds blown by Rubber Soul and Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper.
Later in June of 1967, a girl friend (not girlfriend) Sue C. (hi Sue!) hitchhiked out of London on our way to northern Scotland, and on the way went through Liverpool, ferried ‘cross the Mersey, and visited The Cavern, where ‘The Beatles played 292 times.’
[John Lennon’s solo work became psychologically and emotionally important to me in the early 1970s, but that’s another story.]
On the day John died, I like many others cried as I grew up with the soundtrack of Beatles music to my life. I even saw them (could not hear them for all the screams!). On the day he passed, we were in an old office in Cheapside, Reading, and I wrote on the large wall behind my desk, "John may be dead, but their music will live on", plus the date. By the end of the day, there were almost one hundred others names on that wall. I was told that the wall was covered with a sheet of hard see through polymer. Wonder how long it stayed there? Thank you guys for all you gave us. You changed the world.
@gregdunningham9132, your touching story is so great at capturing how much John Lennon and the BEatles were part of all our lives. There music lives on in all of our journeys! That wall is such a great story! and it shows how music goes through time! Stories like yours enrich our understanding of their influence. Did anyone else have a similar moment of reflection when learning about John Lennon's passing? Or perhaps another event tied to the Beatles that felt significantly personal? 🎶💖
It's a shame that they broke up at the pinnacle of success. What they achieved in eight years of recording is so great. They are the most successful musical artists of all time.

Death can never separate those who have a soul connection. John and Paul had that all the way down the line. The fabric may have been ripped, but nothing that couldn't be mended. I truly believe John has made himself known to Paul in many, many ways. And when music is involved it vibrates on a higher level and reaches beyond the physical. I can honestly say this of all the Beatles. George and Ringo and Paul shared that same connection, though I believe it was more deeply entrenched between John and Paul in the early years because of their song-writing. Ringo has always had that ability to speak about that love between them all and it does my heart good to believe that John and George are reaching out from beyond the veil to tap them on the shoulder and saying, "Hey, guys... still here." ♥
Your description of the soul connection between John, Paul, George, and Ringo is deeply moving. The idea that their bond transcends physical presence and continues to resonate through music is a beautiful one. Do you think this spiritual connection is what gave the Beatles' music its timeless quality?

Interesting story, and really "surreal." There will never be another band like the Beatles or a more prolific collaboration of two great song writers. I grew up with the Beatles. Their music remains a part of the soundtrack of my life and was the biggest influence in my getting involved in bands starting when I was 13 and had just seen the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show..
Couldn't agree more! The Beatles, and particularly the Lennon/McCartney duo, have had an irreplaceable influence on the world of music and beyond.

The rooftop concert was a fitting end to the Beatles. I'm 73 now, and every Beatles song brings to life a fond memory of my own life. I thank them for that! ❤️
Thank you for sharing that, @Tom-ru6rb. The rooftop concert indeed marked an unforgettable moment in music history-a bittersweet swan song from the Beatles that still captures hearts. Your message beautifully illustrates how their music becomes the soundtrack to our lives, evoking memories and emotions that are as vivid now as ever. Here's to the memories and the music that keeps them alive! ❤️🎤
I'm convinced that John sent that message to Paul thru the song of Catl Perkins. Think of me every now and then, my old friend.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @MrLarsa53. The power of music to carry messages, both literal and spiritual, is indeed extraordinary. The Beatles' relationship with each other and their music continues to fascinate and inspire so many people!
The line in Hey Jude "The movement you need is on your shoulder" was one Paul told John he was going to fix properly later. John said it was his favorite line in the song and Paul kept it in. Paul said that he plays Hey Jude in every concert and singing this line reminds him of John every time he sings it. He said it occasionally brings tears.
I grew up with the music and I hold it dear to my heart as I age the music lives in my heart
@rachelbautista6202 It's incredible how the music we grow up with stays with us and continues to resonate deeply throughout our lives.

Something traumatic happened to our family in 1992 when"Wings" toured Australia. Went to an outdoors venue at Parramatta , will never forget when he walked on stage ! Hair on back of neck stood up, we were looking at a living legend . After concert finished most of the crowd was bussed back to Train station , with every one screaming Hey Jude at top of our voices. There are not too many people who possess the magic to have people of all colours, all races absolutely adore them . Paul McCartney is one such , he has given the world a gift that will live on long after he is gone.. But on that night I forgot whatever worries I had. It is a night I will treasure always, seeing this living legend - the pleasure he brought into all our lives gathered there . And age 80 he is still giving of his magic !
What a beautiful memory, @patriciarose6371! Experiences like yours highlight the incredible impact Paul McCartney and the Beatles have had on people's lives.

No group or music has ever made me feel as happy and wonderful as a Beatles. As an Italian man. We have a traditional Christmas Eve celebration. I was making gravy and frying meatballs for Christmas dinner. And listening to one station that were playing nothing but Beatles songs from A-to-Z. I was so happy I couldn’t even put on Christmas songs. I was almost about to tell my family you all go to the Christmas Eve celebration. I’m just gonna finish cooking. I was on a Beatles high. I felt like I was in heaven, but it was Christmas Eve, and I wanted to see all my family, so it would of been nuts not to go so got into the car. Everyone had on the Christmas songs on the radio. And that’s ok but that’s the power of the Beatles to❤️me anyway can’t wait to listen to the new song!
@anthonyD2365, your story of cooking to Beatles music on Christmas Eve is wonderful! Their music indeed has a unique way of elevating moments. What Beatles song do you find most uplifting when cooking or celebrating with family? 🍝🎄🎶

When John said 'Please call before you come over, it's not 1956'
I felt that.
@OmEgAlOmAnIaCx - Ah, that classic line from John! It's such a relatable sentiment, isn't it? The Beatles, like all of us, had to navigate the evolving nature of friendships and boundaries as they grew older and their lives changed. Can you think of a Beatles song that encapsulates the idea of changing relationships or setting boundaries?

Only because I have read a few books that one line in this video kind of bugged me as being a cliche throw-away nonsense statement, "just two kids jamming in a garage'. Garage bands are very much an American thing and when Paul and John were young teens, they rehearsed acoustically in each other's bedrooms or at John's home (251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool) in the front sunroom. I believe most of their writing happened at Paul's home in the early days.
Me and my 3 brothers are all professional musicians and deep Beatles fans. My baby brother has traveled to Liverpool twice to tour all The Beatles' childhood homes and the (new, rebuilt in a new location) Cavern.
My mother also happens to be from Cardiff, Wales. Her sister-in-law, Aunt Gloria's older sister married into wealth and for a time lived right up the road from John's old house on Menlove Avenue. That blew my mind when I read her old address in a letter to my mum. She has since retired and living in a fairly posh retirement condo back in Cardiff. Also as an aside, her daughter is Siân Robins-Grace who is the co-creator of the British HBO horror comedy called The Baby. What I love about it is the main characters are Afro-Caribbean British just like my mum and my family back home in Cardiff. You can stream the show if you are inclined for a bit of spooky fun.
@violao206: First off, big props to your meticulous knowledge and for keeping the record straight on the 'garage band' lore! It's always a pleasure to have folks like you in the community who know their Beatles history down to the T. Seems like something we could even make a video about!

How awesome is it that the Beatles were not only at the top if their field but also the most genuine and humble people, ekspecially given their extreme success. Love(d) all four of 'em
Couldn't agree more, @coppulor6500! The Beatles' grounded nature, despite their world-success, is a testament to their character. It’s this genuineness and humility that endears them to us even more. Each of the Fab Four brought something unique to the table, not just in their music but in their approach to life and fame. Their legacy is not just one of musical innovation but also of genuine humanity. Thanks for sharing your love for the Beatles with us! 🌟🎵

I grew up in the 60's listening to Hard Day's Night songs until I forgot about them because of the Monkey's TV show songs. In 1975, I saw the movie Help! and I loved every song the Beatles played there. I started to do research about who were the Beatles, found some books with their biography, a list of songs and albums ( I bought them all). I had an uncle in Italy who met the Beatles in person because he was a policeman on duty when they performed in Milan, Italy, on June 24, 1965. Back stage, they gave him a picture with their autograph, which he sent to me during the 80's. The Beatles were unique in music, fashion and recording technology, and inspired many other musicians to follow in their foodsteps. I became a Beatles fan after watching Help! in 1975, and I'm still a Beatles fan until today, their music and legacy will live forever. 🎶🎵🎸🥁🎹💿🎧
What a wonderful story about discovering the Beatles and your uncle's unique connection to them, @JCPalace2391!

Having a best friend comes easy when we are young, but as we get older and life starts to change it becomes harder! Getting married, having a family, moving away for a job or just to follow a dream of living in a big city or at the beach! The best friend relationship changes, maybe our wives become our best friend as everything is changing! Kids etc! Then you understand what John means when he asks Paul to call first! Maybe they were laying around and the house was a little messy, wives hate that and then we get grief because she didn’t have time to tidy up! Then add on top of that the fame, the money and 1 friend thinks he does more and wants more! Or you hear someone say to your friend how great he is and the other is thinking I started this with him, what about me! Little things start happening, one guy has lots of songs written but there is only so much space on an album so I want to record some things on my own! Why, that stuff belongs with the band and someone thinks, we’ll he wants to break up the band even though maybe he still wanted the band but just wanted to put something out so people hear his songs! Then there’s greed, envy, jealousy and things fell apart, but maybe just maybe they could have gotten together every few years and put out another Beatles album while all also having solo careers! There’s just too much that gets in the way! And the friendship suffers because of it! Then there’s the lawsuits! All because every one stops communicating! You are all tight, have been for years! Sit down and talk it out as friends and work it out because you love each other and are family, which we as humans forget! I truly believe they are forever friends along with George and Ringo! They did something no one else has ever done! And I also believe if John didn’t die they would be much closer today! They changed lives, I know they influenced mine! They were my 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th albums I bought! I loved their music! Who didn’t?
@loucal1227 Your reflection on the complexities of friendships and relationships as they evolve over time is incredibly profound. It's true; life's changes, especially major ones like marriage, children, and career shifts, can put a strain on friendships that were once effortless. The Beatles, like all of us, were not immune to the challenges of maintaining close relationships amidst changing life circumstances. It's a poignant reminder of the importance of open communication, understanding, and forgiveness in all our relationships. The Beatles' journey, much like your insights, serves as a universal lesson in navigating the ups and downs of friendships and collaborations. Thank you for sharing such a personal and relatable perspective. 🎶 - Rock Alchemy Music
I am really fortunate to have a psychic friend. She lets me know ( and so few others) a lot of what she experiences, and part of this is that famous souls, departed ones, have come to see her, to support her love for singing, and to promote love itself as the most important 'thing' in our lives, whichever "side of the veil" we are on. John has come a number of times to see my friend. He even said a few kind words about me once. He said he visits Yoko, but that she doesn't always know he is there with her. He has 'written' a nice chapter in "Great Minds Speak to You" by Tina Spalding, and he is alive and doing well. "We all shine on"- and we all live on. Beloved John is no exception! Yes. I think he could have inspired those words to communicate to Paul! 💖
Hi. I channel too. John helps me.

When I was in high school I listened to the Beatles. While others listened to New Kids or any of the "boy bands", I was listening to the Beatles. I was intrigued with the stories and history they told in the songs. I sang every lyric and felt the love they had. No one really understood me but I can see talent or in this case hear real talent. Many music instructors claimed I had perfect pitch but that didn't matter to me. It was the emotion behind it. There were some bands that broke through but this band was something special. They taught me what love is and to stand up to what I believe in. I wasn't alone when I listened the Beatles. ❤
@nataliecombs8147: Wow, what a beautiful reflection on your relationship with The Beatles' music. It's fascinating how their songs could cut through the noise of trends and resonate so deeply with you. True art transcends time and age groups, and it's clear that you found solace and inspiration in their timeless pieces. It's even more special to hear that you have perfect pitch but valued the emotional depth of their work above all. Your love for The Beatles sounds as profound as their impact on so many lives around the world. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt thoughts with us. 🎵❤️ - Rock Alchemy Music
John seemed to be an extremely impressionable person. This is evident in his description of Allen Klein in the series Get Back which apparently clouded his judgment which led to disastrous outcome for the group. As smart as he was, he seemed to be influenced and overpowered by stronger personalities like Yoko.

Here Today is a great tribute, probably more than John deserved.
@steveconn: "Here Today" truly is a poignant tribute. It highlights how even giants in the music world, like Paul and John, experienced emotions that are incredibly relatable. Their misunderstandings, regrets, and wishes for do-overs mirror those we all face in our personal relationships. It's a reminder that beneath all the fame, they were, at their core, just like you and me - trying to navigate the complexities of human connection. 🎶🤝

If he hadnt been killed there's so much that could have happened. Anyone can get mad at their best friend but true friends never truly forget each other. With John having a wife and family its not wrong for him to ask Paul for a heads up to come over. I love all four of these guys so much I've loved them since the anthology came out. I was around 8 or 9 and im 37 now. My Beatles story is like they've been with me since i was a child through their music and i feel like they are part of my family. I look at Paul and Ringo and want to tell them they aren't alone in missing John and George. Ive had a lot of relationships break up with me because my obsession with these 4.
My first concert was the Beatles in Cleveland Ohio August 14, 1966. My friends and I couldn’t afford buying tickets. It was Sunday afternoon day of the concert and we took a bus to downtown Cleveland just to see if the Beatles were hanging around. The public square was typically deserted on the weekends and that day was no different. We made our way to the Municipal stadium where the Browns and Indians played and tonight the Beatles would play. Circling the outside wall we came upon a large gate that was open enough to slip under and suddenly we were inside. A kid who was probably a child of a vendor maybe 7 or 8 years old stopped us saying “ you wanna hide?” Then took us up the narrow catwalk to the roof top in between the gates. We stayed up there all afternoon watching the stage and dressing room’s being trucked in , unloaded and set up. Eventually the concert started we left the rooftop and we slipped into 4 seats. Being sold out every seat had a ticket so the ushers would politely ask us to move back to our seats and let the people with tickets have these seats. We were asked to move by every usher in every section finally ending up in the stairwell while Beatlemania gripped the crowd. The screams were deafening. We kept looking back at the ushers where they were in a huddle all pointing to us and shaking their heads. Then they started marching towards us. We followed the stairs down towards the field stopping at the cement wall behind third base. The Beatles were in the shallow outfield behind second base playing Paperback Writer. The ushers we’re closing in on us so we jumped over the wall landing where the police line was and a snow fence 6 feet below. To our amazement and relief 20,000 kids followed us and we disappeared in a sea of Beatle fans. Everyone rushed the stage. They stopped the concert dragging John away from the mic as we touched the flatbed trailer that was used as a stage. The DJ from WHK radio begged the audience to return to your seats or the Beatles will not play anymore. Eventually everyone returned to their seats and the Beatles played 2 more songs. We made it home and never told our parents we saw the Beatles and they never asked.
@rowkid4359 Wow, what an incredible memory! Sneaking into a Beatles concert and getting that close to them is an experience few can claim.

I just cannot help but put the blame on the woman who influenced John's mind at the time... but he still wrote some great songs on his own afterward
@skipijam7736 It's evident how passionate fans are about The Beatles and the dynamics within the band.

I wish that she never showed up at all and kept her own life, happily ever away from us!😢

Ive listened to the Beatles since 1964, when I was 14. They taught me about music, about rock. I always thought they would get back together. But John's murder was cataclysmic. Worse to be a month after my father's death. The Beatles, together and singly have been a huge influence on my life.
The first records I ever bought, the first songs I ever played on a guitar, the first concert I ever saw.
And songs for every situation in anyone's life.♥️♥️♥️♥️
@lindaincolorado2646 Your connection with The Beatles is truly profound. It's evident how intertwined their music has been with pivotal moments in your life. Such bonds with music go beyond just melodies; they become the soundtrack to our lives. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Their impact is truly timeless. We'll be exploring more Beatles stories soon, so stay tuned and let us know if there's any other band stories you'd like to hear about.
I was also 14 in 1964 when I discovered the Beatles. I was in Johannesburg South Africa. So they engineered a bond between us that survive to this day. I feel like all Beatles fans are my close family.,
@@sidneymeyer7372 That's the beautiful thing about music, especially when it comes to bands as iconic as The Beatles. They have the ability to form invisible bridges between people, regardless of where they are in the world. The sense of community among Beatles fans, considering it a 'close family,' speaks volumes about the kind of impact they've had on people globally. It's heartwarming to hear that you've felt this bond all the way from Johannesburg. Thank you for sharing your story and adding to the wonderful journey of Beatles fan experiences. 🎵🌍 - Rock Alchemy Music
Really good! So well, yet subtly,not to say succiently, expressed, a real challenge given the material. Bravo!

I saw them in concert in Memphis TN Aug. 19th 1966. I went to see Ringo and his all star band this summer and have an autograph by Ringo. It a special edition that you could only buy at his concert. There was one copy and he signed it that night.
We were in San Francisco.
@debbiemcnamara7059 Wow, witnessing The Beatles live in 1966 and then getting an autograph from Ringo in person years later is truly remarkable! It must have been an exhilarating experience to see them at their peak and then to connect with Ringo's All Starr Band later in life. Having a special edition item signed by Ringo is a treasure to cherish. It's amazing how music can create such lasting memories and form connections across different eras. Thanks for sharing this beautiful memory with us. We always love to hear personal stories from fans like you. If you have more Beatles memories or any other band stories, do share. Your experiences add so much depth to the community! 🎶🥁🍏
I believe John Lennon sent a message to Paul McCartney thru the Carl Perkins song My Old Friend. Too many things all line up for it to be accidental. Perkins staying at McCartneys home. The words of the song seeming from nowhere with exact phrase John spoke to Paul. No way Perkins would have known about that last conversation. Then the photo shoot in 1996 when the white peacock suddenly appears. That's just sooo John Lennon. He was definitely reaching out from
beyond.
I have my own real life experience to base from. The death of both my parents in 2017. Mom passed first in February. On that day I was standing beside her bed. My cousins were seated near the window of the room. Outside in the nearby tree, a white dove landed on a branch. It was soon joined by a second dove. Both doves moved into the larger tree of the coutryard. They sat there briefly, then flew away together. This was in the afternoon close to 3:00 pm when my Mom took her last breaths. I was the one who said it. One dove was my Mom, the other was the Holy Spirit picking her up. It's too specific a thing to happen by chance. And so is the peacock strutting into the photo. It was John's way to tell the other three Beatles his spirit was present.
Your story and interpretation of the Carl Perkins song, "My Old Friend," are truly fascinating, @rosemarialubrano7716. The way you connect personal experiences to the mysterious and often unexplainable moments in life adds a deeply spiritual dimension to how we understand the Beatles' story, especially the bond between John and Paul. Do you often find that music, like the Beatles', provides a connection to these more profound, sometimes unspoken aspects of life? Your experiences and insights add a unique layer to our discussions here. For more explorations of the Beatles' enduring impact, consider subscribing to Rock Alchemy. 🕊️🎶
When I was 8 years old, I was already a hard core Beatles fan. I was taking a trip to England with my family and begged my parents to go to Liverpool. We scrapped Stonehenge for a night in their hometown ☺️❤️.

There is always that additional memory that impacted that ten years of life that they were separated on too many ways.......irreparable in a very large way 💔

I loved the Beatles so much ! Still do. I was born in 1955 so I'm a bit younger than them. I was such a Beatle fan that i had Beatle bubblegum cards glued on my bedroom walls with butchwax. I then took them down put them in scrapbooks along with many new pictures and articles, i still have them. I spent all my money on magazines, and Beatle records,albums, 45s etcs. I even had bobbinhead Beatles dolls on my dresser till my cat knocked them of. I got married had kids one went into the Marine corp and found himself cleaning his rifle while singing a Beatle song. I brainwashed my sons. I will always love them! I have movies, t shirts, cassettes, albums, a lunchbox purse,dvds, and cds. I cried and cried when John died as I'm sure everyone did. Love you all Beatles thank you for all the Great music.
patriciamcbride3522: Patricia, you've really shared a special Beatles story with us! It's clear you love the band and their music a lot. From Beatle bubblegum cards to the memorabilia you still treasure today. The fact that your passion even influenced your sons just goes to show how the music transcends generations. Losing John was a difficult time for so many, but the beauty of music is that it allows us to keep a part of those we admire close to our hearts. Thank you for sharing your story and being a part of our music-loving community. 🎶❤️ - Rock Alchemy Music
My best teacher in 7th grade filled our Christmas stocki gs with Beatles cards...Wow what an awesome teacher
They possibly knew one another in past corporeal (and ethereal?), lives.
That creative energy combined to form them into musical phenoms of original renown.
Future energies may "come together" for them as could be for all of us ...
@danielj1063: The idea of their souls reconnecting from past lives adds another layer of depth to their bond. It's a thought-provoking take on their unparalleled synergy.
