@@chipgaasche4933 I meant purely in the sense of George helping Ringo with songs and music throughout his career. I know there are other aspects to George’s character that weren’t so savoury. We all have our faults.
I find very interesting how George struggle as a songwriter for years and now he's got to a point where he can easily help write Ringo's song. Look how fast he came up with the rest of the song. Ringo never was a songwriter, so he always relied on George to help with his songs.
John and George also had a great friendship in the late 60's, and on/off in the 70's. There's so much love and brotherhood between them all though, one way or another.
As someone who writes music, I love hearing the songwriting process of others. While they were Beatles, they were just humans and it's interesting to hear the song take some necessary wrong turns in order to eventually find that perfect change that made it into such a great song. I recently listened to an interview of Jeff Lynne, a friend and former band mate of George, about his songwriting process which was equally interesting.
Yes I find it fascinating too. On a bunch of the outtakes where they are working out a song they go over the material time and again and slowly step by step you can hear them getting closer and closer to the final best version of the song as we've come to know it. They worked together cheek by jowl and they worked long and hard: honestly i don't know how they kept it up for so long without falling out.
@@gerardvermeer2 Aside from their friendship, I think George and Ringo were both pretty easy going guys who didn't quite have the competitive egos that John and Paul had. With that said, I believe they were driven to prove to John and Paul that they could also contribute. While Octopus's Garden is a lighthearted tune, it's a damn good one and it has such a catchy, memorable melody that's almost impossible not to sing, hum or whistle along. It's definitely one of my favorites.
It's so amazing and weird to listen to here George just come up up with it so quickly, but the whole time you just want to to scream "I'd let my friends come and see"
Similar to the song "Something". where "Loves me like a cauliflower" was used for the longest time. You want to scream "Loves me like no other lover". It seemed obvious...😂🎵
hahaha. I sorely feel the dilema of wanting to get out of the verse loop. Any attempt to veer off seem to get sucked back in because of the beat. I mean " We would be so happy, you and me" ... If we could get momentarily get out of the loop. But there's no one there to tell us what to do or How to do it... hahahaha
Would love to have a glimpse into Ringo’s mind as that boat captain explained how the Octopus build little gardens out of shiny shells and cans. They’re own tranquil little space at the bottom of crystal blue water off the Italian coast. I’m sure that appealed very nicely to Ringo at the time. I dislike when people call this song daft or childish. I think that’s kinda the point. I’ve always interpreted it as Ringo’s escapism from the increasingly complex and psychedelic arrangements the band was getting in to at the time, as well as the Entity The Beatles now were. This is my favorite Beatles song, Ringo is my favorite Beatle.
Amazing!! I never thought I'd ever hear how the Beatles actually wrote a song. I always thought it had to do with magic pixie dust and other things no other humans have access to . . well, I still couldn't do it, but at least it makes them seem more like everyday workers, like the rest of us.
Watch "Get Back" and you'll get a big dose of it, including this song, as he had already come up with the idea while they were working on the "Let it Be" album.
Ringo had such a great idea with this one and how his friend George helps him stick with it until it comes into its own is so beautiful. I’ve always loved this song.
There is “something” about Ringo. He has such a look of quiet inner understanding. His smile has always been without the stress or load of Paul & John. Always there without being over bearing. George also seemed to need that removal of Paul’s& John. Same thought about Mick & Keith Power.
The pressure as in Lennon and McCartney. The two became the songwriting team to beat. Anyone connected with them had to be as great or greater. George eventually fit the bill and dear Ringo was coming up the stretch.
1969!! How bout that, I was just a kid living in Bangkok Thailand at the time and 3 months later my family and I would move to Japan..Who knew that history was being made half way around the world at the time..Awesome..Long live The Beatles..
Ringo said he was walking near the sea one day when his nanny's leg was grabbed by a small octopus. Later that day they had calamari for lunch. (Not the same one.) During lunch, Peter Seller's chef told Ringo that octopusus build mating nests by rearranging the stones on the bottom of the sea. And the rest is history.
My only exposure to the Beatles was Ringo Starr on Shining Time Station and the Thomas the Train VHS tapes. When I learn about his role and his effect on people, I understand why he was perfect for PBS.
This right here is why Octopus's Garden is among my favorite Beatles songs. It's not just a silly kid's song. It symbolizes something that the Beatles desperately needed at this time: ESCAPE. Ringo wrote this at a time when the band's tensions were at their highest and the other three were constantly butting heads creatively. All Ringo wanted was to be part of a band. When he heard that Octopi make little gardens at the bottom of the ocean he thought very literally about how nice it would be to just go there to get away from it all. So he started channeling that feeling creatively and George took notice. And together they made a song not for the sake of perfection or for maintaining an image or meaning something bigger or whatever; but for the simple joy of songwriting. It's some much needed levity at such a turbulent time.
It's interesting to hear the mood of the room change from "Whooah! Ringo knows chords...?!? How did *_that_* happen...?!?" to "actually, we quite dig this groove...".
No, quite the opposite. They were purposefully filming and recording everything the Beatles were doing for what would become the Let it Be movie. If you hear a couple beeps, those are camera changes or something. I think there's about 57 hours of film!
He co-wrote it but it definitely wasn’t just him writing the song by himself. Ringo had the original idea of the song and he brought in what he had to George first which is the first verses and hooks of the song. George then helped him with the other chords. Regarding the lyrics, Ringo wrote that himself
It's a simple song, but it fits perfectly with their 1969 output. One after 909, Get Back, Oh Darling..And IMHO it's better than Maxwell's Silver Hammer
I don’t dislike any song on the album, I specifically listen to maxwells silver hammer because of the synthesizer use and forget it’s complicated history
Huh? The finished song doesn't contain any Am chord. There are only two minor chords in the song at all, C#m and F#m. Neither of them are at the start of the bridge, which does start with an A major chord on the finished version. Unless by "bridge" you mean the pre-chorus? That starts with C#m.
@@HeelBJC In their trials they were trying a major chord at the transition at "We would sing And dance around" But it the published version they took the minor The major would have been awful
@@HeelBJC I stand corrected... the final version in the key of E. When George and Ringo worked on the composition of it in the Let It Be movie, they were clearly playing it in the key of C. Here’s the video clip: ruclips.net/video/CIkn7RB3eEU/видео.html
George definitely loved helped everyone write their songs, especially Ringo. It also is heartwarming knowing that not too long before helping Ringo write this song, George had “I Me Mine” shut down by John pretty hard. It shows that George follows what he teaches
E assim foi no pós Beatle, a parceira rendeu músicas para o Ringo de grande sucesso, como It Don't Come Easy e Photograph. É engraçado que ñ se chama It Doesn't Come Easy e ele, George, como em Octopus, deixou só para o Ringo.
Interesting to hear (and see) how Ringo picks up all the chords and plays them along with George on guitar, once George shows him the positions on the piano.......
Writing songs can take time going through finding the right words, rhythm, beat, phrasing all that makes what you’re looking for. Then some days in a flash, it’s like God puts everything in place in 5 minutes
I love early versions of octopus's garden that Ringo and George wrote together(and it would be nice~ in the paradise~~ )💜it sounds more enjoyable and very cute💜💜
I don't know music theory.Does the first bridge start with.'I'd ask...' If so I notice that the one ending with ''tell us what to do' also ends with with a different note.

A full 24 minutes of the Beatles in the studio.........a real treat. My band just played "Octopus's Garden" at a gig a week ago (outside due to Covid). The crowd loved it. I used to think of it as just a kids' song, but it's fun!!!!
I remember school children learning this in their music lessons. I was about 10. There is slight memory of the kids swaying from side-to-side that I am not sure is real or my imagination. Honestly can't remember if I was one of them. It was perfect for junior school - biggest band in the history of music writing something the youngest children loved to learn and parents adored.
Ringo and George could collaborate on occasion. Ringo wasn't really completely alone and neither was George. Paul and John were two-peas-n-pod front-men for the longest time.
Wow...the writing of Octopus's Garden sounded like a slog, and they didn't even sing ANY of what they're doing here. It ended up being a REALLY nice song, but I just do not hear it coming along in these recordings. I'd like to hear how it all came together.
@@eunicechannel837 Well, I kind of speculate about it myself, that George Harrison gave a lot of input on how the song came to be. All four of them probably gave suggestions, but they decided to let Ringo have all the credit.
Awesome, thanks. May have brought this up in another comment I can't remember. But I was wondering if any of the Beatles ever had much to say on the death of Mal Evans.
Paul talks about it in the book "Many years from now". He says, that he thinks he could have prevented what happened by talking Mal out of pointing a gun at the police.
6:47 George pulls the correct chord from the ether but loses it and spends time trying to get back to the one he know was right. Funny how it's almost like the song was there waiting to be found.
He hasn’t lost anything…he’s co-writing the chorus….uncredited, of course
I think Octopus's Garden is up there with Geroge's best lead playing.
Agreed
I always loved the intro and I learned how to play it

George and Ringo seemed to have the strongest friendship/bond of any relationships within the group. And it endured through the years.
They were respectively the oldest and youngest members of the group and the last two to join. Older brother, younger brother bond.
Ringo least threatening to George, the loveable mascot. John and Paul were too domineering and powerful.

Wow...the writing of Octopus's Garden sounded like a slog, and they didn't even sing ANY of what they're doing here. It ended up being a REALLY nice song, but I just do not hear it coming along in these recordings. I'd like to hear how it all came together.
Deadlines make it happen. Not waffling, Dude!
Paul got pissed and decided to write the remaining lyrics.
@@eunicechannel837 DId you read or hear about that? Can you leave me your source?
@@yohannbiimu rumors 😁
@@eunicechannel837 Well, I kind of speculate about it myself, that George Harrison gave a lot of input on how the song came to be. All four of them probably gave suggestions, but they decided to let Ringo have all the credit.
I looks like Ringo plays the piano?
Yes
21:35 am i the Only One who's hearing a kid talking ?
I believe it's Linda Eastman"s daughter "Heather". Paul was dating Linda at that time.
you can hear Heather McCartney and Yoko Ono
The voices of the children.......
РИНГО СТАРКЕЙ до сих пор поёт,и это его песни,если не знаешь лучьше не пиши,а то огарчусь!
Awesome, thanks. May have brought this up in another comment I can't remember. But I was wondering if any of the Beatles ever had much to say on the death of Mal Evans.
Paul talks about it in the book "Many years from now". He says, that he thinks he could have prevented what happened by talking Mal out of pointing a gun at the police.
Yup.
Born in 1967, always listening to my fathers Beatles records, the Beatles are a part of my family.
Still love them not only for their wonderful music
I love that first bit, it’s like I’m in the room with them just chatting. I could listen to that for hours.
Heh...it basically started out as Heart and Soul.
Can you do a video deconstructing good vibrations
Can anyone translate the mumbles that make everybody laugh?
Fascinating to hear the evolution of the song...
The song changed so much...
Iconic
bridges can be tough
Wie großartig dieses Lied, das Beste seit langem, diese Musik!!!!?
Grüße an Ringo
Quite interesting. Thank you
How is this a Ringo composition and not a George composition? Should have at least shared credit for it.
George probably didn’t want to since it would mean less money for ringo if he had to share the writing credit
George probably didn't much care about that. He just helped his mate!
