I've Just Seen A Face is a masterpiece for me as it feels like he's out of breath and elated spilling all his emotions out to a friend he's accidentally run into on the street. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED JUST NOW.....
It's like "love at first sight" feeling to me.💓
My uncle played the viola in the string quartet on Yesterday. Just saying it's cool to enjoy watching you listen to something I have a thin connection with. My uncle passed a few months ago, he was just over 100. And yes when I met him when I was a kid visiting London I had to be told to stop bugging him and asking questions about him playing with them. Nice memories.
"I've Just Seen A Face" is my favorite song from the album. I sing along with it every time I hear it.
Hey, great minds my friend!!
this great song and john's great "it's only love" are more at home on the american Rubber Soul. "I've just seen...." opens up the album and leads into "norwegian wood". "it's only love" opens side two and is followed by "girl. the sequence on the american version is powerful. these two songs, as legendary as they are, are out of place on the "help" album imho.
@@carlschumacher3257 Normally I prefer the UK versions, but I have to agree - Rubber Soul has to start with I've Just Seen A Face
The 14th of June 1965 was an epic day for Paul McCartney. The Beatles morning session produced, I've Just Seen A Face. The afternoon session yielded the B side to the upcoming single (A side Help!) with the song I'm Down. Oh yeah, the evening session delivered Paul's timeless masterpiece Yesterday. Not a bad days work, wouldn't you say Crystal? Cheers, RNB
My favorite part in “Yesterday” is the second bridge where the cello plays that bluesy riff just before the “I said something wrong”. I learned years later that John loved that part, too. John always was generous in giving credit to Paul for this song.
Comsidering how cruel he could be about so much of Paul’s work, the compliment is extraordinary.
@@rydelldownward7808 I think a lot of that cruelty was right after the Beatles breakup when there were still fresh wounds. Kind of like a divorce or breakup. But believe me, John had lots of love and respect for Paul.
@@rydelldownward7808 If you can find it, there’s footage of John in the studio from October/November 1980 being interviewed and he calls Paul “my lovely one”. He also refers to him as his brother.
@@rydelldownward7808 One of my favorite Lennon quotes from 1980: “The Beatles may be gone, but John, Paul, George and Ringo live on. I still love those guys”.
Men always say something wrong. Lol
Loved your appreciation for John's incredible vocals on "It's Only Love." He sometimes gets overshadowed by the (justifiable) praise for McCartney in reaction videos. But John's vocals are amongst the best I've ever heard. There's so much deep passion and character in his voice.
My Top 3 from Help:
1. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (tragic & beautiful)
2. Ticket to Ride (groundbreaking musically)
3. The Night Before (never heard a song like it)
Honorable mention: "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" is an everyday song for me. Rock and roll, baby! 🤟🎸🎉
I hate to say it, but IMHO John was just as strong (if not stronger) a songwriter than Paul until he met Yoko. Not to say that good material didn't come after he met her, but his poetry, passion and creativity was unmatched until about the time of the White Album.
I will echo your Top 3.
I love The Night Before; it really stands alone. I grew up listening to The Silkie's version of You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. Just such a great song. Ticket to Ride is a real departure and points the way forward. Great guitar and drum work.
With all their musical and songwriting gifts (almost unique), it's so easy to take for granted just how naturally perfect their singing voices were. I know it sounds obvious, but that is so often overlooked, or as I say, taken for granted. Love this album and love your reviews Crystal. It's so nice to experience your enthusiasm - it's like listening to The Beatles for the first time again. It'll be such a shame when this journey comes to an end. As Harrison might say - we like it too much and we like you!
Thank you so very much for watching and taking this journey with me!! I agree with all of the beautiful comments you have about the massive talent!
There will be quite a bit of sadness on my end too when I am done with the Beatles catalogue, however the journey has just begun! I plan on delving into a bunch of other bands and artists this same way and keeping the party going! If you have any suggestions they are so very welcome! I am very much hoping you stick around on this journey with me.
@@CrystalShannon4 Suggestions? I would probably have way too many! Do you want to stick to the sixties, or go for classic acts from any era? If it's the sixties, I would love to see you react the albums such as Let It Bleed by the Rolling Stones, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by the Small Faces or Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks. Edging into the early 70's, perhaps Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd? I'll end it there. I don't mind if you have other things in mind - I will definitely watch out for whatever you do next. And thank you for brightening our days during these dark and scarey time x
@@CrystalShannon4 How about ABBA?
@@CrystalShannon4 -- Badfinger may be a good place to go when you finish with Beatles... there is a direct Beatles connection with them, and some pleasing overlap. But there are also so many other fun thing to explore from the 1960s, like The Kinks, which is probably even more in the same vein as The Beatles. Those are some fun songs, which I know you're gonna love.
"I've Just Seen a Face" is my favorite song on this side as well. Many Americans wrongly believed that I've Just Seen a Face was recorded during the Rubber Soul sessions because Capitol Records placed the song as the opener track on the US version of Rubber Soul. But British fans got to enjoy the song on the U.K. EMI record for Help! I've just Seen a Face feels like it belongs on Rubber Soul, as it is so acoustic and natural. The runaway pacing of I've Just Seen a Face feels like young love or infatuation. As a young man, you see a young pretty girl and she looks cute, and soon you can't get her face out of your mind. She's all you think about. That's what I've Just Seen a Face is about. The frenetic energy of a young puppy-love crush. It's an adorable song!
Well put. I agree ☝️
@@chrisschoedel7597 Yeah, "I've Just Seen A Face" and "It's Only Love" are buried on the "Help" album; as side-openers, they are fantastic. "Drive My Car" is obviously a great opener (and in the USA, it retained opening status on "Yesterday & Today"). But "What Goes On" as a side opener is much weaker than "It's Only Love". It would be rightly "buried" on "Yesterday & Today" as second to last song on the album, where it felt more natural and "popped" better. I never like hearing "What Goes On" after "Michelle".
@@TTM9691 you are a true fan. I’m going to ask you a question that isn’t really fair, but here it go’s.
Do ya have a favorite Beatles song?
Once again, in the USA, Rubber Soul Album was different and I've Just Seen a Face, It's Only Love WERE on Rubber Soul Capital label version. Yesterday and Act Naturally was just a 45 rpm single in Fall 1965 until they put it on the American Yesterday and Today album in Spring of 1966. You Like Too Much, Tell Me What You See, and Dizzy Miss Lizzy were all on the American Beatles VI album. The history of release between Parlophone and Capital records, even though both labels owned by EMI, until Sgt Pepper Album, is very confusing.
"I've Just Seen a Face" and "It's Only Love" are two of the reasons I prefer the Capitol version of "Rubber Soul" to the original.
Yesterday is a very important song for the soul. Yesterday holds the record as far as I know, as the most recorded, covered song. Sometimes I cannot to listen to it as I am the last one left of my original family since my brother's death in July of 2020. I am going to turn 66 on Friday and there will be no funny card from him in the mail. If there is....I'll find a shrink real soon lol. But Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away...why he had to go I don;t know he wouldn't say...that'll get you every time, and Love was such an easy game to play. The three songs on the album I'll go with is Yesterday, Ticket to Ride, and Help, in that order. More power to Crystal...in her life's journey...she has the great potential to do so much good in the world.
"I feel like I'm coming across as a crazy person" no you come across as a vivacious, self-aware, intelligent young person who's brightly and openly sharing your human experience with integrity and grace. You're not crazy, just human. You're not perfect, but you're wonderful. ❤️
It's Only Love is one of my favorites as well. It is strange that John himself did not appreciate it and called it something of a filler. But then again, the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Their “filler” was better than most people’s hits.
For some reason John liked to trash talk many of his songs - maybe it was a self motivational effort to do even better...? Just guessing. I feel his voice was the best ever in rock and pop music, and Paul and George were both superb too.
@@rydelldownward7808 How very true!
@@kzmaven7478 Yes. John was pretty self-deprecating. He was not shy to talk and sing about his vulnerabilities. Many songs are about that. He even said that he hated his own singing voice. Can you believe it? And that made him so great. Unlike some of today's pipsqueaks who believe what the media and critics say about them and think the noise they are making is singing.
This is my favorite Beatles album. It was released when I was 6 years old and I was already a huge Beatles fan by then. My brother is 10 years older than me and I listened to all the music he was listening to. One of my Christmas presents in 1964 was Beatles '65
Crystal, I'm actually really pumped to see you dissect Revolver. It's my favorite Beatles album by far. Especially when you break down Tomorrow Never Knows, the first techno song!
"It's only Love" is a great song in my opinion....funny fact is John actually thought the song was garbage and dismissed the song....but I though his vocals were great on the song.
Agreed. It's a fantastic song.
Veurrry briiiighhhht Love it !!
I've Just Seen a Face sounds so much like a Paul Simon song that for a long time I thought that his cover was the original.
THIS IS THE COMMENT! Yes, perhaps this is the reason I am so magnetized to it!
If Paul McCartney had never written another song besides "Yesterday" he would still be one of my favorite composers of all time. It's a perfect song, with an ethereal melody, heartbreaking lyrics, superb orchestration (by George Martin, with Paul's input), and magnificent execution. A perfect song.
funny ...i was just thinking that yesterday (pardon pun ) -the other legit songs were "blackbird" "Elenor rigby" ...to be honest only a handful of masterpieces exist by any artist ..dylan , simon , etc .....paul is no different -as great as most of the catalogue is , only a few tranced to "inspired brilliance " i reckon .
Totally agree its so easy to take it for granted due to the overfamiliarity. Its the perfect song in many ways. The perfect match of lyric and melody.
If by "Paul's input" you mean Paul hummed and sang the parts for George Martin to write down

A few years ago ('89, to be precise), Ringo and Buck Owens teamed up to record a duet of "Act Naturally" together, and there's a video for it -- it's quite charming. (Buck Owens performed the song originally.)
(Also, the song was likely the first track on side 2 because of the plot of the film Help!'s focus on Ringo and the thuggee cult trying to kill him.)
The duet sounds super wholesome and like a fun watch, I will definitely have to check it out! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
That’s in the film????!!! What?????? I definitely have to watch it 😂😂😂
@@CrystalShannon4 It’s hilarious - kind of a precursor to the Monty Python style of surrealist silly humor. I love A Hard Day’s Night (it’s my favorite movie of all time), but Help! is a lot of fun.
Another fun fact - it was on the set of Help! that George first became aware of and fell in love with the sitar. Again, thanks to the running plot of the thuggee cult - the Beatles investigate and end up in an Indian restaurant. I can say no more.
Yesterday the most covered song in the history of popular music ...enough said ! ..love your manner by the way many thanks
Agree with all you said, yet Dizzy Miss Lizzy, though a cover seemingly included to make up the numbers, has an energy that I believe captures the soul of the group. I must say it is great to see someone of your generation appreciate the music of the past.
As far as Act Naturally goes, as the Beatles were breaking up, Ringo was indeed being “put in the movies”, starting with The Magic Christian. In fact, the previous Beatles films (A Hard Day’s Night, Help!, and Yellow Submarine) all center around Ringo!
That’s pretty cool! Ringo Starr: Singer, Drummer, Movie Star! Haha he wears his name well!
@@CrystalShannon4 After you react to their albums, you should react to their films and documentaries (The Anthology series, The Beatles First US Visit, Eight Days A Week, and the recent Get Back).
l went to see the fairly dreadful film Candy, which was made a year before Magic Christian, just because it had, what turned out to be, a very short scene with Ringo Starr.
Yesterday was the song that got me hooked on the Beatles. It was 1978. I was about 8 years old and bored on a Sunday afternoon. I was doing the 70's version of channel surfing when I came upon a children's variety show called 'Kids Are People Too'. The host was interviewing an interesting looking mop topped dude. Turns out it was a guy named Mitch Weissman and he played Paul McCartney in the stage show Beatlemania. When the interview ended he performed Yesterday. I was awestruck. No music had ever made me feel the way I felt then. I immediately sought out everything 'Beatles'. Forty five years later they are still my favorite band. They are, and I believe always will be, something special.

Thank you for your reaction, Crystal! Your thoughts and insights are always worthwhile and I love your channel. I wish you plenty of peace and happiness in 2022 and every year beyond! My favourite three are "Yesterday", "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" and "It's Only Love"! Cheers,
Good to see you back. Hang in there.
Thank you so much! Being back brings me much joy and is very helpful!
Help was one of my favorite albums in college. It got me through some rough times! Thanks for another fine job, Crystal. You should be a coach on The Voice. After you become famous, of course.
More like after your fame has faded. A-listers don't do game shows
@@docsavage8640 Are you kidding? Celebrities wanting to stay relevant can ask for nothing better than being on network TV each week. That's why Luke Bryan, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran have all recently done these sort of shows. Granted, a lot of others who are in the midst of their careers are too busy with other projects to participate.
Just love your analysis of I’ve Just Seen a Face. Spot on.
I can’t even begin to explain how the song makes me feel!
It is said that even though the lyrics of Yesterday are about about a lost love they are actually Paul expressing the feelings of loss he was still experiencing from the death of his mother when he was a teenager.
Yes, the story I heard is that he made a flippant comment to her which hurt her feelings and Paul never got to saying he was sorry.
@@Sweetish_Jeff_ no the story goes that after his mom died, Paul said “what are we going to do for money?” since she was the breadwinner in the family. He immediately regretted saying it and didn’t know why he said it.
@@ewest14 I remember hearing that, too. Paul, at least on the outside, was pretty stoic about it and even John said to him, “if something happened to me Mum, I’d go berserk”. Tragically, his words turned out to be prophetic. The fact that both lost their mothers as teens was an unbreakable bond between them.
The lyrics aren't about lost love. You just infer that.
@@docsavage8640 To be fair, it really is up the listener to interpret the lyrics. Once a song is released to the public, it really doesn’t belong to the writer or writers anymore.
“I’ve Just Seen A Face” is one of my faves. Pure folk, even skiffle. “Yesterday” is a classic, I have a friend who is a metal head who once asked me to borrow my “Help!” CD because he loves “Yesterday” so much. “Dizzy Miss Lizzie” is a great cover and the last one we will hear until “Maggie Mae”.
"I've Just Seen a Face" also nods to bluegrass. Just a great song.
@@sourisvoleur4854 I think its working title was “Song For Auntie Gin” because Paul’s Aunt liked it. It’s one of my favorites.
@@Sweetish_Jeff_ It's cool that Paul was playing his songs for his aunties and uncles. He has always said that family was very important to him.
John & George gone, Paul & Ringo remain. We're only half way through the tears.
I found it interesting how good Paul sounded singing with himself on I've Just Seen a Face. I don't know why he went solo vocally on that one. I got the same vibe from Eleanor Rigby where no other Beatles participated or played instruments on. Yesterday was Paul solo, just him, his guitar and the strings. Maybe he was coming into his own back then?
Did the other Beatles not sing backing on Eleanor Rigby? If not, I've just learned something new. Thanks
@@patricktyner1410 No, no: John and George sang the "Ah, look at all the lonely people" three-part harmony with Paul, you can clearly hear them
@@Uetti I thought that must be so. Perhaps I was confused by what William said. Thanks
There is no doubt in my mind, The Beatles were a gift from God to humanity. Jesus, I love them!
A gift from God ? That they certainly were ! I'm a rabid Beatles fan. So watch out - I may bite you !
I've just seen a face: one word: breathless.
Two Crystal Bombs in a week! This is a good week! I look forward to watching it. THANKS! - John
I love 'It's only love' too. But I haven't met too many people that agreed with me. So I'm surprised you love it too.
Oh I’m crazy about it!!!
@@CrystalShannon4 It's a heart melting song.
Maybe it's just me, but I think Crystal has a serious George crush. :)
Yep, come on Crystal....out with it !
I heard this album the very first time when I was 12 in 1979, my favorites are also I Need You, It's Only Love and I've Just Seen A Face :)
I love how you express how these songs make you feel, like how playing "I've Just Seen a Face" is like giving yourself a present. The first song that comes to mind when you ask if we have songs like that is an obscure Genesis song called "Stagnation"; it has a particular moment when the whole band comes in after being quiet for a while, it always improves my mood.
I just checked out stagnation. Thanks for the present .
Genesis' Sqonk is one of my presents to myself. I agree- saying to listen to a song you love is like giving yourself a present is a well-turned phrase
Wonderful!! You're always a joy to watch and listen to. I'm glad you came back with Side 2 so quickly. Thank you!! It was amazing how back in the day Paul could knock off a brilliant song like "I've Just Seen a Face" and it would only exist as an album cut and never be released as a single. As for "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy," much like "Mr. Moonlight," it was an accurate cover of a record that appealed to John and the lads but didn't quite fit in with the tone of their original tracks at the time. But kudos to John for carrying on a with a favorite he probably played a thousand times on stage in Hamburg.
You’re definitely right that’s it’s gonna be great year for us all. I love your reactions and Help is the first turning point for the Beatles for the fact it was their last Beatlemania album sound and the first album to include a song that’s not about love. One of my top 3 albums by them.
Now for my top 3 songs on this album:
You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
I Need You
You’re Going To Lose That Girl
(Not in any particular order)
Every Beatles album has at least one "forward looking" song, which gives a preview of a coming direction. "I've Just Seen a Face" was that song for the Help! album. It could easily fit on Rubber Soul.
An Cat Dubh- love the U2 reference. Perhaps Crystal Shannon will walk through U2 albums- at least those of the '80s and '90s....
"Wait" , which is on Rubber Soul, was originally recorded for Help!
OMG you are a brilliant reactor, so evenly balanced between composition and how a song makes you feel, and I still love the way you speed up your voice to avoid boring us with la di da dialog.
Love the opening guitar on I’ve Just Seen A Face…John’s vocals on It’s Only Love, but Help! is the track for me.
Another masterpiece of a reaction! You have a lovely singing voice! Take good care of yourself. You look like you're getting back to your centre. Regaining your balance so to speak. All the best to you! Sending love and good wishes your way!
I have probably listened to Dizzy Miss Lizzy the most out of the songs on Help. Very good for driving.
you make me feel better, thank you!
you make ME feel better! thank you for your kindness :)
I've Just Seen a Face is one song that you wish you have composed.... under rated in the Beatles catalog...
Regarding "Put Me in the Movies" -- 1) Ringo loved country music. In fact, at one point before he became part of the Beatles, he'd made plans for a move to Texas so he could join a C&W band! 2) It's also a nice irony that this song is on the Help album, and Ringo was the primary protagonist of the movie Help!
Maybe look up titular
"Act Naturally" is a cover of Buck Owens of TV's Hee-Haw fame. The Help! album was the last Beatles album to feature cover versions from other artists. With Rubber Soul the Beatles would only record their own songs. Personally, the Beatles were such great song-writers that I never understood why they did so many covers.
“Act Naturally” was a super fun song for them to cover!! they definitely had a knack for making cover songs their own, but I totally agree with you! The Beatles are some of the greatest song writers to ever have walked the Earth!
Ringo was a big country music fan. He always made the covers he did his own, with his unique style.
I don’t listen to Act Naturally for my own enjoyment, but it is still special to me because I performed it for my grandma once and she really enjoyed it.
Remember, the Beatles started out as a cover band. Paul has openly said the reason they started to perform songs they’d written themselves was so that other bands wouldn’t be able to copy their set lists. Until Help! they just didn’t have enough material of their own.
Plus they just loved playing songs they loved.
Buck had a great career before Hee Haw. Hits were: Act Naturally, I've Got a Tiger By the Tail, and Tall Dark Stranger. My favorite song by Buck was the Made in Japan song.
Just a tip, Crystal: Have the camera closer on you. We’d rather see more of your face and emotions to the songs, vs the couch and wall.
Another great reaction! Hope you’re getting better.
Thank you, you make a great point! I appreciate that very much!!!
Also, having the camera closer to Crystal will improve her audio. There is a lot of room ambiance there and we can hear external sounds. Having the camera closer will make both those better.
Under rated Beatles gem. Leads perfectly into the monster that is, Rubber Soul!
I’ve just seen a face is one of my favorite Beatles song . It brings back memories of my first real love the very first time I saw her.
I assume you know that "I've just seen a face" is a song Paul has performed both with wings and as a solo artist. he even did a duet with Paul Simon. So you can always listen to them if you feel like a different version of the song.
The Beatles were a great major juice to sip from. Simon & Garfunkel were younger and listening ☯️✌
Two of the greatest songs of the 20th century are about longing, Yesterday and Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Ringo later duetted with Buck Owens on Buck's "Act Naturally".
Like all of their Albums it is a greatest hits album. At least it would be for most bands.
Paul wrote Yesterday at 22 years old. At any age a song like that is exceptional. Paul claims he wrote it in a dream. How does that happen?
It was the melody in a dream. John helped with lyrics.
You should rephrase that. He didn't write it while IN a dream. He remembered it after he AWOKE FROM a dream. He hurried to write down the melody because he was worried he'd forget it. Fortunately for us fans, he didn't !
Help was kinda the turning point to the Beatles revolution, that is having so many different song developments....And the flick itself was the introduction to Indian culture / music that George especially took to, and they introduced to ' summer of Love'
I can completely hear that!
Help! is definitely one of my favorite albums, I can definitely see just how transformative it was for them!
We all "fit" in the character in Act Naturally, we are just too blind to see and admit it. Most of us are sad and lonely
This is very true and very sad :(
Love that piano fill in ‘tell me what you see’.
Also ‘it’s only love’ is such a simple song ( musically ) but so beautiful and some of the best of Lennons vocals.
This video is full of charm
I love when people discover the best music group ever. Are they my favorite group? No. But they are the best. For us in the states these guys were everything and always on the radio for eight years. They were the primary reason that guys stopped greasing their hair and went more natural. They were at #1 for 132 weeks. That's like two and a half years. At #1! They had songs that spent months at #1. There were songs that didn't make it to the top because of another of their songs wouldn't get out of the way. The made a couple movie length music videos Hard days night, and Help. Not much plot just the lads pretty much being themselves. The made a cartoon yellow submarine. They had a rip-off Saturday morning cartoon series that was just
to play their music. They filmed their recording sessions and they were turned into movies. Amazing! They lost hundreds of millions of dollars because they didn't have control of their work. Like I said not my favorite group but the best. Thanks for enlightening the public.
Here's a tip that might help you. Get a little closer to the camera. Nobody wants to see that wall and sofa behind you. The focus should be on you!
What is it about a garage that makes music sound better? Reminds me of my high school days (last century) playing Beatles and Pink Floyd with my friends. 1) Yesterday 2)It's Only Love 3)Ticket to Ride. Glad you're putting out videos again.✌
I love listening with you. You have a solid handle on the mechanics as well as the aesthetic and emotional experience.
MY FAVORITE IS IVE JUST SEEN A FACE TOO
yes!!!!! it’s such a powerful and moving song! I love it!
No one but Ringo could pull this song off.. he’s so lovable
You mean "Yesterday"?
The working title for "Yesterday" was "Scrambled Egg(s)", with McCartney's dummy lyrics going "Scrambled eggs, I love your legs, but not as much as scrambled eggs", or words to that effect. It is the first single-Beatle song on record; none of the other three had anything to do with it.
Ive Just seen a face- its the feeling I had on that September 1983 day when I met my wife...If anyone is lucky enough to meet their missing part of their existence, they will fully understand this song.
Espectacular reacción! Te felicito. Saludos desde Argentina!
You did another fantastic job on reviewing side 2. Once you are finished with the albums I would love to see reactions to their movies as well as Across the Universe which I think does a great job at covering most of their time together.
This was the album where Paul's already crystal clear songwriting talent just skyrocketed while John's leading status inside the band started to slowly shift apart..
With mega hit Yesterday and big hits Help and Ticket to Ride, I've just seen a Face is the song I can listen to multiple times in a row and always enjoy it. Thanks for another insightful review.
You like me too much is a Underrated song. 🤔🎵
When I was young, a version of "Act Naturally" came out by both the singers who made it famous - Buck Owens and Ringo Starr. ;)
You just GET it, every time! Amazing
Wow how you dig it ,,, you explain some of the greatest music so well. Thankyou.
Paul said he dreamt the melody. Until he had the words to go along with it he called it Scrambled Eggs. True story.
"Its Only Love" has always been my favourite song on the "Help" album
I've never understood why John said that "It's Only Love" was despised by him calling it rubbish. I think it's a wonderful little number. Paul vocally had a broader range than John probably but too my ears I think that John had maybe the most raw, punch you in the gut vocal abilities ever. You could her and feel the emotions in his vocals. I've Just Seen A Face" great song by Paul and then there's Paul's "Yesterday" the most covered dong in the history of recorded music. As of this time there have been around 3,000 covers of this song. What can I say except as Forrest Gump would say "That's all I've got too say about that" As always great breakdown musically Crystal. ☮️✌️💕
John would call a lot of Beatles songs rubbish..at least the ones Paul wrote, except for Yesterday
@@ChrisJohnsonChannel John did praise Paul for "Here There And Everywhere" and "For No One" and told Paul they wore two fine pieces of work. Paul said it was the only time John ever complimented him like that. I don't think either were big on patting each other on the back. They were both really good and knew it.
I've always loved the McCartney trilogy in the end of "Help". Great video, Crystal!
Thank you, I think Help! is where I started to strengthen my appreciation for McCartney’s talent! It’s 100% undeniable!
I’m not sure about my top 3 songs but my top 3 bands are: 1 the Beatles ,2 the Beatles,3 the Beatles, and a close runner up is also the Beatles. Lol.
Help, I Need You and I just Seen A Face. Another Girl is up there too, like watching them do it in the movie Help.
Crystal, you have me crying, laughing and blowing my nose. If you're crazy then you're a good kind of crazy!
My favorite side of a Beatles album is the one I'm listening to. And my favorite Beatles song is the one I'm listening to 😁❤‼
ALL THINGS MUST PASS!!!
Excited for it!!
You seem to be feeling much better today, Crystal, then you were on the first side. Be well.
Would you be surprised to know that "Its Only Love" is the song Lennon hated the most? I love it. Especially his heart-touching vocal.
Howdy!!!!
It's so hard to pick the top three on this album -- so let's call it the top 3 at this moment -- and, I'll go with the heartbreak songs:
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
It's Only Love
Yesterday
I can't wait for you to do Revolver!
Another wonderful reaction you have a great ear and some great insights. My favoites are "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away",
"Ticket to Ride" and "It's Only Love".
Another great reaction of this and Side 1.
The "old" Crystal is back. Finally!!! Iwas happy to see you in such a sweet happy mood. By the way the best songs are I've just seen a face and it's only love. But we can't forget Yesterday, can't we? You'll like Rubber Soul because of the Ballads and melodic songs it has...
Top three would have to be 1. Ticket to ride, it just sounds way ahead of its time and kinda foreshadows where the beatles were heading. 2. I've just seen a face, just a wonderful song and loved what you said about the base, it just takes your heart with it. And 3. Help!, the song is just so well written in a melodic sense and starts the album off on the right foot.
It is going to be a great year!
"Act Naturally": The last cover version they did (unless you count "Maggie May"). Also, the theme matches with Ringo, he was pretty much the star of "Hard Day's Night" because he acted so naturally.
prominent guitars in Tell Me What you See, I've Just Seen a Face, and Yesterday by mastering a instrument and making it sing a different tune. Just Seen a Face and What you See are toe tappers easily played but so much behind the scores that give us a rich sound that seems so simple. Yesterday...so melodic yet again, guitar and violins surround this beautiful piece (aka Scrambled Eggs)
And yes, It's Only Love. Hugely underrated. :)
Funny that John hated the lyrics to this song and yet it’s a song that I gravitated to immediately and I always enjoy singing along to it. It’s really a beautiful song.
🤓 If it's of interest, the chord progression that begins "It's Only Love" (C Em B♭ F) had only been used once before, at the beginning of The Murmaid's 1963 hit "Popsicles And Icicles." ruclips.net/video/z9uUU_m_33o/видео.html Billy Joel would make use of it 15 years later in "It's Still Rock 'n Roll To Me."
All great, great songs
