You’ll soon learn that McCartney is a man of a million voices.
....singing perfectly loud
@@bossfan49 But nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make. And he never seems to notice...
@@kassyrowe2588 but the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
lmao Sorry, laughing his ass off. But he really is a man of a lot of voices. I think he sings differently in every song he ever made, which is why I can listen to him all day long and not get tired of his voice. I can't say that about Freddie Mercury or Billy Joel or Elton John or even Michael Jackson, all top shelf singers.
Someone told you not to sing?!!! What THE??! Boo! You go on and sing, girl! Sing and clap and enjoy yourself! :)
“It’s my channel and I’ll sing if I want to, sing if I want to……”
You do you boo
Thanks for the Beatles fix
Good one

WHO IS GETTING MAD ABOUT YOU SINGING ALONG TO BEATLES SONGS IN THE COMMENTS 😭😭 that’s so absurd to me
I'm ready to give them a talking to!
It's not even possible for me to listen to the Beatles without singing along!! 🎵🎶🎸
How is possible to not sing along to The Beatles?! 🤣
So true.
Yeah, If I wanted to hear the songs without a reaction I would listen to the original.
McCartney, in particular, loves playing characters when he's the singer. Quite a lot of the time he's homaging singing styles from earlier decades (that he feels match the flavor of whatever song it is).
I Want to Hold Your Hand was the single that made the Beatles massive in the US. By April 64 their singles held all 5 top places on the Billboard top 100 chart. It led to the British "invasion" of America by UK pop groups and singers. You might also be interested to know that Lennon and McCartney also gave away a lot of their early compositions to other acts who had big hits with them eg From A Window (Billy J Kramer), Bad To Me (Billy J Kramer), I'll Be On My Way ("B" side for Billy J Kramer), Love of the Loved and Step Inside Love (Cilla Black). These are extremely good. Also, they gave the Rolling Stones a song which had also appeared on With the Beatles - I Wanna Be Your Man. It gave the Stones their first Top 20 hit in the UK in December 63.
It wasn't so much the song as it was the promotion. Yes, IWTHYH was a catchy tune, but so were "Please Please Me", "From Me To You", "Thank You Girl", and "She Loves You" ( their biggest selling single ever ). Capitol records ( who were OWNED by the Beatles London record company EMI ) turned down these songs, saying that they would not go well in the American market. So, they released these songs on smaller labels, with practically NO promotion, and they went nowhere. However, by the time "I Want To Hold Your Hand came out, the Beatles were SO HUGE in England ( and other parts of Europe ), that Capitol now WANTED them. So Brain Epstein and George Martin told Capitol that if they wanted them, Capitol would have to spend tens of thousands ( about 70k in 1963...a HUGE amount at that time...Equal to about 700k today ) on a blitzkreig promotion of them ( they were scheduled to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show in about a month ) if they wanted the distribution. They did, and pushed this new single with a ferver on radio stations all over America. Don't get me wrong...the Beatles were/are a force to be reckoned with, and my favorite band, but in America ( and elsewhere ), PROMOTION IS EVERYTHING. You can be the greatest musician ever, but with no promotion, pretty much nobody knows who you are.
Paul loves his bass walking around. His riffs are legendary.
Great in-depth analysis on “And I Love Her”. The Beatles were truly ahead of their time with their song writing and ability… basically songs that transcends time and generations. Thank you so much, Caroline!
Check out blank pages by Frank James and peacock alley by Damion angel 2 really fine albums
Thanks for your lovely comments and for your corrections. You all have better ears than me! haha SO And I love her modulates to the F, apologies for my mistake.
Also THIS BOY! :P
@Call Me Caroline yes, it was mysterious where you found "This Boy" mislabelled.... and yet, your thoughts about "The Boy" as a horror movie were very entertaining! :-)
Was just about to politely correct you on the key change (being just one semitone to D minor not E minor) but then went back and realised you were playing the correct chords on the piano…so you obviously know what you meant 🙂.
Thank you for this. I’m one of those who sometimes forgets that the Beatles back catalogue isn’t built into the DNA of musicians/music fans and there are those that are hearing it for the first time 😂 (probably because it’s been that long since I first it and it’s so ingrained in our music & pop culture for more than 50 years)! Hope you enjoy your journey as much as the rest of us!
You will be assimilated by the Beatles music. Resistance is futile. You will enjoy.
back in the day, This Boy' was my fave. can't say why, maybe John's mid 8 or whatever it's called.
No, your ears are better than 99% of your viewers. It's just that we have more experience in listening to The Beatles.
George’s acoustic guitar solo on “And I love her” is very impressive. There is a lot going on there from a very young man with limited exposure to anything like classical guitar playing.
Michael Walsh: Actually, much of what George Harrison did was very impressive, harmonically and conceptually. His (for rock) sophisticated harmonic palette emanated from his range of influences, including blues, R&B/Soul (classic and modern, as his takes on Really Got A Hold on Me to Pure Smokey amply demonstrate) rockabilly, Jazz, folk, and ...classical. His embrace of Indian classical music would have profound artistic, social, and political resonances--a son of an imperialist society acknowledging, engaging, celebrating that which his culture and realm, "Great" Britain, had attempted both to exploit and destroy. In doing so, Harrison became one of the founders of the World Music movement, a cultural, musical movement that includes Bob Marley to John McLaughlin, Ravi Shankar (of course) to the Afro-French Rai masters. That alone is an astonishing legacy.
Another example: Harrison's bottleneck slide guitar work is miles ahead harmonically of the pentatonics-boxed-in guitar "heroes" of his era, not surprising as he mixed both blues and Indian classical approaches to his slide playing. Indeed, for all of Harrison's association with Clapton and the influence Clapton had on Harrison's latter period playing, Harrison's actual harmonic vocabulary and approach seems to me, a classical/jazz-trained guitarist, much closer to Jeff Beck: economy of notes, solos as stand-apart narratives within any given song; mixolydian, chord shapes, chromatics, arpeggios, in addition to the pentatonic and blues scales; motifs that both elevate and redefine songs (Harrison's intro motif instantly redefines And I Love Her into the haunting, compelling classic that it has become). Indeed, listen to Harrison's proto-fusion solo on Old Brown Shoe and jump to Jeff Beck's mid-seventies groundbreaking fusion/funk albums, and you will hear Beck making direct reference to that under-appreciated and yet prescient solo of Harrison's. To respond to Lennon's wry parting blague on the rooftop fadeout on the Let It Be album, "Yes, Mr. Harrison, you DID pass that audition, and then some."
@@renechateaubriand2645 Thanks for fleshing out his musical development and contributions.
I believe his embrace of Hinduism was a sincere disatisfaction with Western materialism and it's reflection in shallow scientistic technological humanism, which may be the very worst form of Western imperialism.
However, his sincere embrace of Hinduism was coupled with a shallow understanding of Christianity, especially his ignorance of it's mystical tradition from the Desert Fathers, Origen , Irenaeus, the Cappadocians, Polycarp , the Eastern Fathers down to Theresa of Avila and the Little Flower. This ignorance was a glaring weakness which unfortunately evinced itself in his public statements on Christianity which were reflective of caricature and insipid understanding.
George’s guitar playing is iconic. I think Caroline, for whatever reason, focuses more on the bass & percussion. Wish she’d mention George’s lead more often. 😕
@@polytheneprentiss1534 As a new fan, she probably hasn't figured out who plays what yet. She spotted Ringo is the drummer and a good one, though.
Paul says that he came up with the melody, chords and words, but the guitar is entirely George and in Paul's words George's work "made the song".
Think back to these songs and performances when you get to their later songs, then you will understand how great this band is. I was 8 when I saw them on The Ed Sullivan show and it made such an impression on me that today when I listen to their songs it chokes me up and gives me goosebumps. I’m sure other people feel the same way.
I was 5 when I saw them on Ed Sullivan. It was one of the greatest days of my life in that it started my lifelong love of music. I love their music now more than ever.
You are 100% correct. I watched it also and play guitar and drums because of them. I collect everything
Those first songs from the Beatlemania era will ALWAYS be electric as they activate what is now in our DNA.
I was a mere embryo when first exposed to the music of The Beatles, or so I am told. It wasn't long before I had developed into a fetus and my mother attributes the rapid development to the vibrations from a transistor radio, a gift from one of her boyfriends who had returned from a 6 month assignment in Kyoto. The radio is sea foam green with red markings,(now faded), indicating the on-off switch and volume levels. Mum insists the boyfriend, Cephus, claimed he came upon the radio buried deep within a squid he had ordered at squalid little restaurant near the river in the city center. Unfortunately, mum used the radio as a teething toy when I was born and the paint within contained a chemical which limited my growth. I now have a head the size of a large brown egg, cage free- organic. The creator moves in mysterious ways and despite my repulsive appearance I am truly grateful.
Please Professor Caroline, will you promise to explicate the LPs of Jimi Hendrix, those released during his short life? I thank you in advance.
Little fun fact: that guitar effect at the beginning of i feel fine, is the first time EVER someone records it on purpose
The guitar feedback at the being of the song started of as an accident. John was holding his Gibson J160E acoustic electric guitar when he turned and leaned over his Vox AC30 amp which was on a chrome stand in the studio. Being a hollow body guitar it immediately fed back, but apparently John heard something that intrigued him and started experimenting with it. As he held the guitar he muted the top four strings and the bottom E string of the guitar with the volume knob turned off. He then faced the guitar at the amp and slowly turned up the volume knob allowing the open A string to feedback. Paul and George started it off with a muted octave plucked A string overtone together. If you listen real close you can hear Ringo place his foot on his high hat pedal bleed through in the background during the feedback.
Your appreciation of "And I Love Her" is reflected in many musicians/singers because they made it the third most covered song of all time as of 2020.
They even covered it in Spanish, I used to believe it was a Spanish song because of the sound of the acoustic guitar till I heard A Hard Day’s Night version
There are two great versions of the song by the brilliant Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, one solo version and one with his trio. I highly recommend checking it out. He has done quite a lot of Beatles songs.
Fun fact: 'And I Love Her' is one of Paul's songs but he brought just the fundamentals of the song to the band - melody, chords and words. That acoustic guitar part is entirely George Harrison even though he's uncredited in the songwriting. It has never been a secret as far as Paul is concerned and he has praised George's work saying "it made the song".
@@ContemplativeCat You are correct. The same can be said for almost every song they wrote. It is a rare song that some other Beatle member or staff member did not contribute some bit to. On the song Happiness is a Warm Gun, Derek Taylor contributed the lyrics: She's not a girl who misses much, She's well-acquainted with the touch of a velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane, and (at least in part) donated to the national trust. Derek did not receive any writing credit for his significant lyrical contributions. Paul 's bass line on Something elevated that song as well (almost all critiques of Something discuss the excellent bass line) and Paul received criticism for it from George rather than credit. John was upset with George who in his memoir did not mention John's lyrical contributions to Taxman and Paul was never given credit for the lead guitar riff he created and performed because George was having trouble learning it. Back in the day, other than Yesterday, almost all the groups songs were just Beatle's songs. They all contributed to making them great. Who gets credit for contributions to songs (especially early on) was a legal matter and out of the boys hands.
John Lennon said "And I Love Her" was Paul's first "Yesterday" Easy to see why.
I don't know how you can listen to the Beatles and NOT sing along. I'm always happy to see you singing along. It means they did their job.
Dave Gilmore said of Dark Side of the Moon, “I wish I could have been able to listen to it like the fans and just enjoy the finished product for the first time. That was an experience denied to us.” I grew up with the Beatles and the talk at school was always about what they were going to come up with and release next. Watching clips of you listening to these songs for the first time (and speculating on what you might be about to hear) allows my jaded ears to experience this music (vicariously) anew. That you understand and comment about how this music is crafted only adds to the pleasure. Thank you, I really appreciate what you do. I hope you will keep it up.
Im 64 and I agree with you😊
I guess you're 65 now but did they still need you?
I was 10 in late December of 1963. A new song by some British band no one in the US ever heard of came over the radio airwaves. That song was I Want to Hold Your Hand. It sounded totally new, different, fresh, and exciting. Beatlemania had already been in full force in England for months and for most of us kids in the states, it hit us quick and hard. It was love at first sight. Within the next month, the Beatles and their quickly released singles and album (and Feb 9th, 1964 nation-wide appearance on US television) had taken the country (and world) by storm. It was mind-blowing and wonderful. And here in the US, it all started with that one song that still gives me a wonderful chill to this day.
I first heard "The Beatles" in October, 1963, played on a Chicago radio station. And by 1964 I was listening also to major stations out of New York. On one of the latter, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was "Bubbling Under" the Top 40 on December 31, 1963 -- and #1 on January 1, 1964.
It's funny, I want to hold your hand was written to appeal to an American audience. They quite literally sat down with the aim of writing a number one hit for America.
I don't understand how that is done, or why an American audience would be different but it obviously worked. It's a great little guitar part though.
I always wanted to know the secret and magic of beatlemania. You both are speaking about this. Thanks!
Long Tall Sally is a Little Richard classic. Paul's father attended an early show of the Beatles opening for Little Richard....he exclaimed to Paul , "that's where you got that voice!"
Little Richard himself taught Paul how to scream.
@@loosilu He didn't teach Paul, that's just something Little Richard likes to claim credit for. Paul was already learning how to scream like him in high school on his own.
@@ewest14 Ruttling Orange Peel syndrome :)
Age 13, cried so hard when She’s A Woman and I Feel Fine came out. “They’ve changed!!” Very rough time for me 😳
I got over it eventually but it’s kind of a traumatic moment in this Beatlemaniac’s life!!
I had that same reaction in 1967 at age 9. What happened to my Beatles? They have mustaches and are doing weird songs (I am the Walrus, Blue Jay Way). I was horrified. They won me back with Lady Madonna and Hey Jude and eventually I caught up with them and love the 67 material.
Whoever said you shouldn’t sing along is just wrong. Those are the best parts! Your voice is beautiful, and it comes through with such a sense of joy that it’s irresistible.
The song "She's a woman" was the start of the Beatles fighting back against the record company. They were rushed into finishing it by the record company. They needed it for the B side of "I feel fine". They didn't consider it a finished song, especially the lyrics. They were only given a day or two finish both songs before they had to go back on the road. This was the beginning of the Beatles not wanting to tour anymore and spending all there time making sure they truly fleshed out every song.
Caroline the queen giving us the content we don't deserve, love your reactions and you actually have such a lovely singing voice
In the case of "She Loves You," Roger McGuinn of the Byrds with his bandmates went to see "A Hard Day's Night" and was inspired. They were a folk act at the time, and they were surprised at what they found in the Beatles. First, McGuinn played a 12-string guitar, and he was shocked to see that George had picked up a 12-string Rickenbacher guitar, first using it on the album. That was a folk instrument to him, so what was that doing with a rock band? Second, "She loves you" was performed in the movie, and he was immediately shocked by its structure. He said, "Wait, those are folk chord progressions! What's going on?" With that, and Dylan's influence, he, and a few other acts, because of this, were inspired to create Folk Rock, and for the Byrds, the rest, as they say, is history.
People telling you not to sing along? 😄 Do they want you just to sit there completely silent, still, and emotionless, who listens to music like that? Don't let people diminish you for not knowing something about The Beatles or not liking a song. Keep being real with your opinions, keep doing you, looking forward for the future albums and singles. 👍🏻❤️
Remember in this journey of yours, The Beatles first album was released March 22, 1963 and they broke up in late 1969. Their entire career - all that music, movies, quotes, controversy - all of it happened in just 7-ish years. Amazing!
John and Paul met on 6 July 1957 and released their first single 5 October 1962 that was over five years of singing playing and writing music together before anyone outside of Liverpool ever heard of them. Imagine all that talent and skill building up over those years like a dam filling up with water during a thunder storm, and then suddenly the dam breaking open and flooding the world with their music, fashion and ideas that had been gathering up over the past five years.
You are right Mr 88, it was amazing how much they achieved in just over seven years, and I really believe there was nothing more they could have done and broke up just at the right time.. I think their final achievement was their roof top concert which is still being copied to this day.
What was the last thing John Lennon said on that day, “I hope we passed the audition”?
They most certainly did.
I can't imagine how exhausting that would have been!
@@johnmoorcroft8226 The rooftop gig was John at his absolute best in my opinion. Don't Let me down has been my favorite song since I can remember. I've got a feeling, dig a pony. So much atmosphere! The rest of the band were also on fire, but for me John takes the lead here. Thay all have their moments, but that was John's, of course that's just my opinion.
@@tannakaobi1 everybody had their favourite Beatle, but we loved them all, when you watch the roof top concert you can tell they are still friends
And they did all of this while still in their twenties. George Harrison was only 20 years old when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan Show. They were just kids.
I'm 53. I have 7 older siblings so when I was a toddler I was already inheriting all their old and slightly scratched albums. So, I can't imagine a life not soundtracked by this band. Having listened to, loved, and studied the Beatles for decades, it's really a joy to watch you experience the music fresh in 2021. You have great ears...which brings such credibility to these videos. I have seen other Beatle reaction vids that offer little. You quickly find the song elements, and you're honest. Not every song of theirs has the magic. You'll have to slog through a few later. But it's just nuts how many of them do have it. It's a ridiculous % imo, but I'm biased ;).
I found it striking here seeing your reaction to "She Loves You" contrasted with your reaction to "And I Love Her." The two side by side illustrate the strength of what the early Beatles delivered: Such emotional resonance.
You were authentically and instantly energized and smiling, buoyed by that unbridled emotional lift of "She Loves You." It's just kind of irresistible. The freshness of the melody, harmony (love the C minor bit), rhythmic shifts, energy, etc clearly grabbed you. Even if the early lyrics could be pretty insipid, their sound was a joyous burst and such a fresh shift away from standard rock n roll. You noted correctly how their own compositions had far more nuance and harmony than their covers...always surprising, hooking listeners. In the early days, when they needed a B-side for a single or another album track to get it finished and released, they simply went to the rock n roll catalog they had played for years in the German and British clubs. Hence tracks like Long Tall Sally, etc.
Then in such a short time, they give us "And I Love Her"...truly a moving classic...both in composition and performance. The emotion feels more mature and deep. You clearly felt it. How could you not? Something about their songs, chemistry, voices, personalities delivered that emotional resonance. Mick Jagger called them the "4-headed monster" because they were so close and connected when they were in a room early on...the wit, the camaraderie, etc. And, as you noted, they served the song...huge props to Ringo there, and Paul M is a beast on bass and just a jack of all trades on all instruments really. And he has a million voices as you are already discovering. Lennon's early voice is so powerful too. The hoarse warmth of its crack. Nothing else like it. Then we get their blend too. George will shine more on his own later as you'll see, but it's hard to get a word in with BOTH Lennon & McCartney in your band.
It's a stunning stretch of 7 short amazing years of recorded music and you haven't scratched the surface of where they will go yet. Your videos are super fresh, light and fun, but still serious and engaging. Thank you for making them. You make us older folk feel good/vindicated, but I bet many younger people watching can find an appreciation for the Beatles' impact more easily through you.
@Mahki Mahkila Well it's all subjective of course but I was thinking of songs like In My Life, Something, Nowhere Man, She Said, She Said... I'm just kidding! I was thinking about tracks like Don't Pass Me By...pretty plodding, Revolution #9, perhaps. I still find a little something I like in all their songs I think, including those. And of course, Rev #9 is more a piece than a song, but I can see people hearing some songs by them and just not being terribly impressed. Yellow Submarine may be "classic" but it does little for me, personally. Not very interesting compositionally. What about you? Any duds in their catalog for you? Like I said, the % of hits to misses for me is staggeringly high.
@@anthonytonycorso7550 Nothing is entirely subjective. Art is the objectification of the subjective.
@Anthony Corso, you have brilliantly expressed the things I am loving so much about Caroline's reactions. I'm 64 (yes, really!) and saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan that fateful night thanks to having a teenage sister. They were the soundtrack to my growing up years and I feel truly blessed to have lived through that Golden Age. I don't love all their songs uniformly, and some have fallen quite far out of my favour, so I appreciate Caroline's candour and commitment to honest reactions. I am so on board to watch her reach the psychedelic period. Tomorrow never knows!
@@buddyneher9359 Ditto, and I'm 74!
Great post
That intro note to "I Feel Fine" is supposedly the first recorded use of feedback in a song. One of many innovations The Beatles would introduce to popular music.
Your genuineness is infectious and your reactions are obviously heartfelt, responding to the Beatles’ musicality. The arpeggiated guitar part is all George. According to Paul, George just almost immediately started playing this accompaniment: shows what a great sense of counterpoint and contrapuntal playing George had and always melodic as well: he was a very accomplished lead guitarist always serving the song.
Part of the influences on George were Cuban and Mexican guitar styles.
"Long Tall Sally" is a cover of a Little Richard song. And it's Paul singing lead.
For my money, that's the best cover they ever did. Twist and Shout is important because of the circumstances, John forcing his already ragged voice to do just one more number, but LTS is a better song to begin with, and the whole band performance is storming, and Paul is on fire.
@@sagnyc And, as she noticed, Ringo is en fuego! Check the live footage -- he shreds the end of that one.
You were close with Elvis in that it is American R & B and Elvis was influenced by Little Richard.
@@vickirecord5534 And... Elvis *did* LTS, it just wasn't anywhere near as good as Little Richard or the Beatles... :)
@@yes_head RIngo is en fuego. It's spine-tingling.
Paul‘s bass lines are always just so much fun. It takes a special kind of bass player to stand out in a track like he does
And this is before he got really good.
@@loosilu exactly
Yes, brilliant bass playing and, almost as important, extremely well recorded. Listen to bass on other recordings up to the Beatles at Abbey Road and you rarely hear such pronounced bass lines.
It’s like having 2 lead guitars. George at the top and Paul at the bottom, with the sound filled expertly by Ringo and John. Always love exciting bass players
I'm so glad you get that Ringo played what was best for the song, not to show off his talent, and that's what made him a great drummer. Kids today don't get that because they think he's too simple. But wait until you hear what he does on later albums like Revolver though! Ringo was one of the first to make the drums a more pronounced part of the song back in those early days, which has influenced all the bands of today. Thanks for the fun reactions!
Caroline, you've instantly recapitulated, in 33 minutes, the entire coming of age of every teen in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, and Belgium. Thanks - we needed that!
When you listen to the studio bloopers you realise how much fun they had recording these songs at the time. They were always 'cracking up' and fluffing the lyrics - with the 'sergeant major' voice of George Martin in the background saying "take 13"
Most of the time that voice belonged to the man behind the desk (where the talkback mic was attached) - in those days, balance engineer Norman Smith.
The song is called "This Boy", not "The Boy". "Long Tall Sally" was a cover of Little Richard's classic, he was one of the founding fathers of Rock & Roll. "I Call Your Name" is written by Lennon & McCartney, it is not a cover. The guitar feedback at the start of "I Feel Fine" was one of the first, if not the first included on a recording. Great reaction content.

Listed as this boy under the time stamp. She probably realised.
As Little Richard said about "Long Tall Sally" - Sally was so long and tall because Sally was a man.
The very last harmonic vocal note on 'She Loves You' is what convinced George Martin that these guys were different and worth producing. The hand claps on I Wanna Hold your Hand were added to appeal to the upcoming American market.
why the american market? why they like that?
Yes Elvis did record Long Tall Sally. So did Pat Boone. Little Richard who wrote it. Duh.
Caroline keep singing along with the songs! I love it! Every Little Thing you do is magic.
Its really interesting watching someone with a decent knowledge in music hearing The Beatles for the first time. You're definitely in for a treat. PS you're analasys of And I Love Her was pretty cool too. Its cool to see how they switched keys in their songs and the tricks they used to do it.

Thanks so much Jim! :)
It's not just in their singing, it's the inflections they ad to every word being sung. Most people and singers fail to pick up on that.
Facts
I'm so excited for the Beatles For Sale and onwards reactions, I can't wait for you to try and predict the songs from Rubber Soul, I wait for these videos more than I wait for my favorite TV shows to drop honestly
Words just can't express the joy that comes from getting to hear She Loves You for the first time through your exquisite ear. I can actually feel the experience of hearing this for the first time. I mean, as it is this song never gets old and I'm never not electrified by it but hearing it through you is just a whole 'nother level. Such a gift. Thank you, Caroline.
Can we assume that you figured out that the name of the song is 'This Boy', not "The Boy'?
Back in the day 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' was the first big hit in the U.S. for the Beatles. When they sang the words 'Haaaaand!'and 'Hiiiiide!' our parents called it screaming. To us kids it was melodic and orgasmic, sung screams of pleasure if you will.
'And I Love Her' is a song that always painted a picture for me. I see nighttime around a quiet pond reflecting the stars in the sky and crickets chirping.
Bob Dylan became a fan because he thought they were singing "I Get High"
It's worth pointing out that This Boy is a rare three part harmony for the whole song. They always performed with with the three of them on one microphone.
Nah man , she was saying the narrative was about ‘the boy’ and not ‘the girl’ for this song, s change from the usual lyric
@@docgonzales No Doc. She has corrected the title in a couple of places but go back and look at that section of the video again. The words 'The Boy' appear on the video and she also says those words. Her guess as to the tenor of the song at the beginning is totally off because she has the name wrong. She has read the comments and corrected where it could easily be done.
I'm not knocking her. She does a nice job. You can certainly see other comments pointing out the same error.
And I Love Her is definitely nocturnal.
'I Feel Fine' is on a par with the Rubber Soul/Revolver 'turn' which took the early-Beatles to the more experimental and sophisticated mid-to-late Beatles. Good catch there when you sort of alluded to that by referencing the future bands of the 70s and 80s, who, let's be frank, were following in the Beatles' wake.
First deliberate feedback on a pop single. Hendrix would do more 3 years later.
Let her find out for herself to see the surprise
Nah, I Feel Fine isn't quiet on the level of Rubber Soul/Revolver. It fits more on Help! They should have removed Yesterday and replaced it with I Feel Fine, and put Yesterday on Rubber Soul
I agree . it's a real black and white into color kind of song. Cheers.
That odd note in the beginning I think is reverb through the mic. but the base is wonderful and it is a good action song with upbeat tempo.,
I absolutely love how Caroline breaks down Beatles melody structures using her own musical skills. From "This Boy" beautiful 3-part harmonies, "And I love Her" w/ Harrison's soothing arpeggio guitar picking, "I Feel Fine" guitar-feedback note intro, to "She Loves You" exploding out of the gate beginning. I'd forgotten how my ears felt like when I first learned these songs in my youth. She brought them all back. A Musicians ear is certainly most welcome.
Anytime you hear Lennon and McCartney harmonizing you are actually hearing the Everly Brothers. They were one of the major influences on them. Don Everly just passed away Aug. 21 and brother Phil Everly in 2014. however you are spot on about them experimenting with harmonies, nobody was doing that at the time like they could. Another point that distinguished the Beatles from all others. George Harrison was the one who added the 6th chord part on She Loves You, and the others went "Hey good one, we like that!" "I'll Get you in the end" was a little joke as little kids we used to laugh about, if you think about it. I Want to Hold You Hand was the first USA single we heard and everything exploded here for the Beatles because of that single. It was like going from Black and White TV to Color. German records-they had cut their teeth in Hamburg Germany in sleazy night clubs before they were famous. Long Tall Sally-Ringo's triplets on the drums, just brilliant, kicks butt. I Call Your Name...electric twelve string guitar. Meant to be a flip side or album song. Ringo sings Match Box. She's a Woman sung by McCartney. I really like the guitar solo in this one. And I Love Her is a brilliant timeless love song...George Harrison's spanish guitar work in this is stellar. You can see this song performed in the movie A Hard Day's Night....You MUST watch the film A Hard Day's Night!!!!!
21:59 I Call Your Name was written by the Beatles
Yes. This was one of the more inspired Lennon-on-Guitar pieces, too. It was quite unique for Lennon, although most of these early songs have strange and fantastic rhythm guitar work, often so much faster than bass, percussion and lead guitar.
Really enjoying these reactions (previously watched the A Hard Day's Night reaction)! Two things I want to mention:
1. Appreciate the work you're putting into it (editing the clips so you won't get blocked has to be very tedious).
2. I'm also happy to see someone in a reaction video who has understanding of music theory and experience in writing songs. Loved the Professor Caroline segment.
Go back and listen to her reactions to "Please Please Me" and "With The Beatles". In other words, stop ignoring their early work -- or you'll miss out on the excitement of their evolution.
Thanks so much Jonathan, I appreciate your words. I still am a rookie when it comes to music theory but Professor Caroline does the best she can haha
@@CallMeCaroline You are doing well .Watching you listening to the early stuff without the cultural context ( especially the lyrical content ) is fascinating . A Hard Day's Night was their first album of all originals , there was a weird contractural thing with United Artists, the film company where they had to pony up a bunch of songs for a soundtrack album that came out on United Artists record label , so most of the songs that appear in the movie were brand new and written for purpose , the title track literally overnight . Side 2 is mainly odds n sods. It might be illuminating to listen to other songs that were on the charts at the time and also bear in mind that record companies didn't see ' albums ' as any more than ' Two hit singles and filler ... ' The Beatles were about to change all that with Rubber Soul where they start to hit their straps .
Disclaimer : Hard Days Night was the first album I ever bought , went halves with a pal and we fought over whose turn it was to have it ...
@@CallMeCaroline You know none of the Beatles could read or write music. Paul said that it's the reason all their early songs were so simple because back then there were no portable recording devices to work with so the songs just had to be simple so they could remember them.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! This 63 years old immensely enjoys looking at and listening to this young woman's devouring the greatest band of all times: The Beatles. Thanks to RUclips, I have learned a lot about the fab four over the last couple of years and I like very much witnessing Caroline's delving into their music. Lovely!
Another lovely video, Caroline (and your professorial doppelganer)! "And I Love Her" is one of their swooniest songs, along with "If I Fell." But if you love this one, I can't wait till you hear "Here, There and Everywhere." (Which showcases Paul's most vulnerable vocals.) Enjoy. I'm having a great time re-experiencing the Beatles for the first time. Thanks for your sharing vicarious nostalgic thrills, along with your intelligent insights.
Love how you're going in order of release. Can''t wait until to you get to Rubber Soul and Revolver!
To this point they were just cruising along in 3rd gear on a "Sunday drive" and then, when they hit Rubber Soul, they get on the autobahn, slam it into 4th gear and FLOOR IT!
Caroline isn't going in release order. 'From me to You' is the follow up to 'Please please me.' 'Please please me' was the follow up to 'Love me do'. 'Please please me' is the one that really made their name in the UK.
@@acj2789 well yeah, i figured someone would call me out on that. My point is that she is learning and reacting to their work in (more or less) chronological order.
Can’t wait for The Beatles
Revolver. +. ' RAIN' & Paperback
'From me to you' is one of their songs that I really wish was longer - there's just something so lighthearted and catchy about it, I think the skiffle roots help make it stand out amongst their other songs.
From Me To You was written on a tour bus between York and Shrewsbury while they were touring England with Helen Shapiro. They offered the song to her but she didn't feel it was right for her style. They then offered it to Del Shannon, who was also on that tour. He thought it was great, but then the Beatles changed their minds because Brian Epstein thought the Beatles would have a big hit with it, which they did. When Del Shannon returned to the US after the tour he immediately recorded the song and put it out on his new album in the US, months before the Beatles released it in England.
“She Loves You” was the first record I ever bought, age 10. It flipped a switch within me and I was never the same. Thank you Beatles for changing me and for changing the world.
I wrote a 4,500 word analysis of "She Loves You", their first masterpiece. The construction is unprecedented. Someday I'll find a place to publish it.
Little known fact, in the lyrics they sing "she say's she loves you, and you know that can't be bad". The phrase "can't be bad" was a popular phrase among British teenagers at the time.
My sainted cousin bought me Sgt. Pepper for my 10th birthday, almost as if she knew something. One listen and whoosh, that was it. Beatles have been my favorite since that moment. I say a silent 'thank you' prayer to her at least once every time I listen to that album.
@@Bassman2353 Just post it online so we Beatles fans can read it! Please?
I'm looking into it, Michael. I'd love to get a musicologist journal interested in it, because it's a pretty deep dive.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand is stompin rock-n-roll and John sung it fabulously.
paul & John both sing
More of Professor Caroline, please!
We need these videos weekly. We can't wait for you to get to the 2nd half of their run. Please please us.
Another who is ignoring their evolution because others tell you what to listen to -- and what to ignore. Without their first four there wouldn't have been "Rubber Soul".
Since these are her most popular videos, I think it would make sense for Caroline to space out the albums more, instead of doing it once a week
@@jnagarya519 what?
The "woooo!" aspect of the Beatles was a real hook from their live shows. Also those EVERLY BROTHERS harmonies were there between them for the whole of their time together as a band. I heart that.
Caroline, you are a very astute young woman, and charming as well. It makes for a great combination as you go through these. I haven't enjoyed much on RUclips as much as your Beatle reaction videos. As you have discovered, you are still in the time in their career when they were playing quite a few covers. From Rubber Soul (December 1965) forward, they didn't record covers. Other than Maggie May on the Let It Be album, I can't think of one.
Paul tells a very famous story about ‘She Loves You’. When he and John had finished writing it in Paul’s house, they played it to Paul’s dad and at the end he said ‘Look son, there’s a bit too much Americanism in it. Couldn’t you change the ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah’ to ‘Yes, yes, yes’?
English teachers lost their minds over "She Loves You" and the fact it was teaching kids to use sloppy slang.
"She Loves You" was their first smash hit in the US and kicked the door open for everything else. Within two or three weeks they had five more top 10 hits. Between Jan-April 1964 they dominated the worldwide charts like nobody before or since.
@@JStarStar00 Uh, no, that was I Want To Hold your Hand. She Loves was soon released after on a different label, Tollie I think, because they had tried to release it in the US on that record label in 1963 and it was ignored [can you imagine that??!!]
The wooden percussion-y things in "And I Love Her" are claves. You're very good at picking up on the different things that Ringo does on the drums. Some people disrespect his playing because he doesn't do more. But that's his strength; he supports the group without taking over. You've also noticed that Paul does more with the bass lines than other bass players. He's always been recognized as a very melodic bass player. Maybe because he started on guitar and also plays piano. However, you seem to gloss over and skip all of George's contributions on lead guitar. His classical-style playing on "And I Love Her" adds so much. Keep up the great reactions!
McCartney made bass a lead instrument. And he was consistently rated best bass player in the world in JAZZ polls.
great constructive feedback. these reactions are genuine without feeling vapid but I do think George's contributions often get overshadowed (I guess it's hard to keep track of 4 incredible musicians!)
In fairness to Caroline she seems to be a pianist first and forremost - hence it's easy to overlook how inventive and tight George's parts are. In particular, how spectacularly good George's timing was. He never ever hit a note that was out of time.
I agree. Plus, guitar solos hadn't yet developed to what they became later in rock. They were still understated and mostly chord-based rather than single-line improvised melodies. I didn't mean to be critical of Caroline; just to give her a heads-up to listen for what George was doing.
I have to say that I was surprised to find out that in so many songs it is actually John’s rhythm guitar is what is holding the songs together in a very forward driving manner. When I first heard the songs (many years ago) I thought that the guitar sound I was hearing was coming from George, but lately I found out that it was John’s playing. A good example is I Wanna Hold Your Hand - Georges contributions are little embellishments while John’s guitar is the driving force. There is a RUclips track of just the guitars.
I've been listening to these songs for nearly 60 years now--Caroline, you've got many years of enjoyment to come!
Mccartney is really "The man of a thousand voices" like he said in the fool on the hill
"She Loves You" sold more than a million copies in the UK before it was released.
Yet apparently, according to an American I have been arguing with elsewhere, there was "no market" in the UK and the Beatles were desperate for US approval. LOL!
@@brianparker663 By the time they toured the USA they were huge in Europe, Australia and Japan. They decided, or Brian Epstein decided, not to tour there until they had a no. 1 hit there. No major American record label was interested in them, but an air hostess took a copy of I want to hold your hand back and gave it to her DJ boyfriend. He wore it out giving it air time. Ed Sullivan had seen their Heathrow reception returning from Japan ( I think), The Beatles not Ed Sullivan, and was also interested, so things picked up. But they were HUGE here, I was 14 when She Loves You came out.It was pure joy.
@@nicolascarey6330 Yes, that's a good summary. Of course breaking the US market was something to aspire to - but to claim there was no market elsewhere is rather overstating it. For me, "She Loves You" is the first modern pop/rock song - I was only six but it hit you like a runaway train! Enjoy your day :-)
After nearly 60 years of listening to and loving the Beatles, I have to say that "This Boy" really is my all-time favorite. The harmonies still make the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
Great reactions, by the way. It's nice to hear the opinion of someone who actually knows music. Thank you!
(It's your channel, sing if you wanna!)
🤟😁
@Brian Groboski I agree, it's my favorite ballad of theirs. I was hoping to see Caroline's reaction to John's "cry cry cry cry", but unfortunately she skipped over that part of the song.
Sean does a magnificent rendition as well ...scowling heartrendering...
@@oldiesgeek454 John's voice is so poignant there that it still chokes me up after almost sixty years.
You are just getting started! The musical growth displayed by the Beatles amazed people then and now.
"I Feel Fine" was one of the first songs to deliberately use feedback in the recording, a trend that would become much more wide-used during the sixties and seventies.
originally "And I Love Her" started with McCartney's vocal, but George Martin thought it needed something at the beginning. George Harrison said "How's this?" and played the famous 4 note guitar intro for the band, now you can't imagine the song without it. Please keep the Professor Caroline analysis for every subsequent album!
Haha! Yes, Paul loves to tell a tale and I've heard him tell this tale many times.
Why didn’t George get songwriting credit for writing the intro and guitar solo?
@@bluepeng8895 because writing a guitar lick is not the same as writing song.
Besides, he does get credit. Paul is giving him credit with his story. What he doesn't get is Royalties. Can you imagine the mess if every lick or note demanded royalties.
12:00 It's called This Boy
15:48 It's a little richard cover
Fir a minute there i thought it might be the American title for This boy, The boy is also a good title for this song.
@@johnmoorcroft8226 Puh-leaze.
No its a Lennon McCartney song
@@davepollison4333 LOL my thoughts exactly
Not much to say that hasn''t already been said, but I'm really enjoying these videos and looking forward to the next one.
And I Love Her (written by Paul about his girlfriend Jane Asher on her brother's nylon string classical guitar and on the Asher family's piano) taught me a great deal about music composition. The circle of fifths, relative minors. The key shift for that perfect solo by Harrison. And lastly the song ends on Dmaj. It's amazing how far the Beatles progressed musically in a very short period of time. Especially when the fact that they were touring relentlessly in the first couple of years after the first album. So not much time for writing, yet they still came out with two albums per year of amazing music.
Wait until you get to Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and Sgt Pepper (1977). Incredible stuff awaits you. Then there's 'I Am The Walrus' a song that stands alone as something that there was nothing like before it, and nothing like it since it was released in late 1967 as part of the Magical Mystery Tour TV special and album.
What is also amazing is that none of them could really read music very well, if at all. I think it was Paul that said once after the Beatles ended, that he had a hard time with other musicians as he couldn't tell them what he wanted not being able to write it down, or read the music that they might give him. He left al that, the arranging to George Martin, who really should be noted as the Fifth Beatle. These tunes just came out of their brains in to the instruments, and were captured on the recordings.
@@imkluu I agree 100% about George Martin being the 5th Beatle. I think I remember the interview about not being able to read music. George Martin said Paul would say "You know, that pretty sounding G chord" and George Martin having to decipher it on piano as a Gmaj7 or something similar.
John wrote the middle section.
We need these more often ! been waiting what feels like ages for your next Beatles vid, can't wait for you to get to Rubber Soul onward that is when their music really matures and when their innovation really shows, of course with the help of George Martin. Maybe you could react to the history of the Beatles once you've done all the albums? Also can't believe how much your music theory knowledge has grown, I remember seeing one of your videos about your growth as an artist and you mentioned you didn't know music theory, now your here analysing modulation using circle of fifth really amazing stuff !
It's only been 19 days since the last one.
There's much experimentation on "Beatles for Sale" -- which is one of my two favorite LPs by them. And I grew up with them beginning in 10th grade. And "Rubber Soul" was a REVOLUTION, following on their increasingly advanced singles in1965.
Paul's voice is a shapeshifter.
John’s as well
So was johns
I agree. Much more than John, who was a good singer, but less versatile.
@@JaneFokster Less versatile? He's put out 3 albums in which he played all the instruments.
@@williamjordan5554 The original comment was about the voice.
If you think Paul's voice was different on Long Tall Sally, just wait till you hear Helter Skelter!
Golden Slumbers...
@@carlosdanieltellechea594 "Oh! Darling".
Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?
Helter Skelter take 17
Not even. Just look to I’m Down, which was their own version of Sally. Same voice. Same key. Same energy.
The story behind the recording of “She Loves You” is that directly before the session started, they had a photo shoot in the alley behind the studio. Some fans scaled the wall and the band had to book it inside before anyone got hurt. It was the first time something like this really happened to them, since fame was fairly new. Geoff Emerick who assisted in engineering the record was convinced that the song had an almost crazed energy because of their adrenaline as a result of the incident, and that they were never quite able to replicate that energy in that exact way again.
Paul tells the story of when John and he finished She Loves You and played it for his dad. His dad, being the proper English gentleman, said something like, "it's catchy but can't you sing She Loves You, Yes, Yes, Yes?"
It was also result of a suggestion from Paul's father, who was looking for something more than boy-girl songs. So it is Person A singing about persons B and C.
I'll be singing along with "She lo--o-ves you i-i-i-ndubitably-y-y-y" from now on, just to annoy my friends. 😅
@@jnagarya519 I think that suggestion led to Paul writing Paperback Writer. Can't wait for Caroline to do that song!
@@loosilu Paul himself said that his father's suggestion resulted in his writing "She Loves You" from the perspective of observer, rather than part of the relationship sung about.
@@jnagarya519 I think this story has been mixed up with another very well known story. Paul has said he wrote Paperback WRiter because his Aunt Lil challenged him to write a song that wasn't about love. The story is in the Wikipedia entry about the song (as well as several other places).
Love what you are doing. I hope this gets more subscribers because it's so much fun to go through these songs with a professional singer who can point out the technical aspects of the music. Much appreciated.
Professor caroline part was so cool... how talented you are and it really broke down the song. YOU should teach
Caroline has done just fine making videos without your sad little comments telling her not to sing along.
You keep singing along!
Most of us are here to watch your journey of discovery, we're perfectly familiar with the music already
Ditto!
Don't know why, but I've always had a special place in my heart for Thank You Girl. Kind of a nondescript Beatles song; never one to stand out as anyone's favorite. But boy does it hold up. As always, great reactions!
Definitely gets overlooked. Some of their best early vocal harmonies for sure.
I like the juddering effect they do in the harmonica breaks (and this is the version with more of them kept in). The song seemed to be a little underdeveloped so it's worth listening to the version on the BBC album where Macca boogies up the bass. :-)
@@extratroppo437 Definitely. Thank You Girl and Baby's In Black are two of their finest displays of harmony, and kind of unique songs.
"Thank You Girl" and "I Call Your Name" are similar that way. Both written by John.
Listen closely and you'll hear the band at the end of "Thank You Girl" are almost falling over themselves, they're speeding up so much. Could barely contain their own excitement.
Has it been 3 weeks already?? I'm about to dig in and listen. Yay!
The Beatles made their name (prior to 1963) as a versatile group that played very good Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, show tune (Til there was you), Jerry Lee Lewis, American "girl groups" like the Shirelles. All different styles, with different vocal styles, which made them an entertaining band to book at a club. Caroline, your surprise at Paul's voice in "She's a Woman" is understandable if you are not yet familiar with his Little Richard voice. "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard is his signature Little Richard number. He does a great imitation/version of Richard. It's very difficult to sing and he sings it well. The Beatles knew Richard personally from the touring days in UK and possibly other European countries. Thank you for your great videos.
Thank you for doing these. Really enjoy watching.
Thank you for this beautiful reaction!
BTW: the german versions of 'I want to hold your hand' and 'she loves you' are very well pronounced almost without any accent (I am german). Remember they played in 1960 and 1961 in Hamburg/ Germany in different clubs every night for hours.
Great point. All those hours playing live together really comes out in the harmonies and how tight they play.
Thanks for the comment, I had never heard a German speaker comment on their pronunciation before, good to know.
Yes, When they first started, The Beatles went to Hamburg, and played for the roughest, drunkest audiences for 9 hours every night. This allowed them to meld as a group and become the great band that conquered the world. In homage to their Hamburg roots, the recorded these two songs in German.
Most people do not know Germany was the first place The Beatles were successful enough to make a living (albeit, a rather inglorious one) as musicians. As well, the instruments all Fab Four are most closely associated with to this day are Germanic: Paul’s Hofner bass, John’s Rickenbacker, George’s Gretsch and Ringo’s Ludwig drum set.
@@Mr-gg8ek Rickenbacker, Gretsch and Ludwig are all American. Höfner is German though.
McCartney's voice in Long Tall Sally sounds like a be-bop trumpet.
That performance is just unbelievable.
Also, in one take, which shows how much they played this song live that with just one take they got it right.
THAT is McCartney doing his Little Richard imitation. Little Richard wrote the song. As with all of the covers that the Beatles recorded, it's pretty fascinating to go back and listen to the original versions as well.
@@zacharyspencer8321 Little Richard also covered a few Beatles songs. Also fascinating to listen to.
It HAS to be sped up slightly.
Having spent my formative years growing up with The Beatles in the sixties, I am really enjoying your reactions to them, and in particular, the chronology that you are following. That is pretty much how I heard them. It is very difficult for me to recapture now the reactions I had at the time, but I can actually do that vicariously through your reactions. So I appreciate how you're transporting me back to that era. I am hoping beyond hope that you will continue this series.
"And I Love Her" ends on the major instead of the minor (also happens in "If I Fell") which I think is one of the most interesting things about a very intersting song.
Loved the Professor Caroline segment .. I don't know much music theory, so only understood some of the technical analysis, but still found it very interesting .. Happy to see more of the Professor ! .. Cheers, Wayne
It's kind of funny, the idea of music theory. The Beatles couldn't even read sheet music and they wrote some of the greatest songs ever.
"The Beatles" became "The Beatles" in Hamburg, Gemany. So the German versions were for their German fans.
These videos are terrific, Caroline. As a 70-year-old who got to experience the Beatles from the beginning, I appreciate your willingness to also start at the beginning and get to know them as we did then. (Your obvious musical intelligence and ability to express yourself makes the journey even more of a treat, by the way!). But one thing that’s missing is context-which would be too much to expect you to have. We can talk all day about how “they were the first to do” this thing or that, but it means even more when you lived through what was on the radio in the years before they came along. There was nothing like them ever. The Beatles were, as they say in the law, sui generis-unique, one of a kind. That musical newness, coupled with the societal changes percolating around us, made them standardbearers for our generation-exactly the right time and place. Keep up your work on this, Caroline-it’s delightful. (And my personal favorite, by the way, is “I Feel Fine”-as a drummer, I was always drawn to great rhythms, and this song has it. “Ticket to Ride” may be my #2.)
Love love love your reactions and the way you present them…. Can’t wait for the next album reaction
"I Call Your Name" was written by them -- John, in fact. "Matchbox" is cover of a song by Carl Perkins.
The Mama and the Papas did a great cover of ICYN, one of those rare occasions IMO where a cover version with a new arrangement actually matches if not surpasses a Beatles original.
I love these reviews and ( I know this sounds silly but ) I think Caroline looks so cute too.
Creepy dude …
Loving these first listens, making me fall in love with these early Beatle songs all over again. Also love that you have the excellent board game “Villainous” in the house!
Love your videos and the joy and enthusiasm.
Absolutely adore your Beatles reviews, lip trills and all! Thank you (again)
Professor Caroline has earned her tenure! Also... Beatles drinking game, yes! Ha ha, but seriously - this was worth waiting for. And please sing along as much as your heart desires!
What I love about your reactions/analysis is that although you're innocent of Beatles songs, not having grown up with them, you have musical training and so you're coming to them in a very different way than other "reactors" I've seen on RUclips. Your knowledge of genre songs from later decades brings a fascinating angle to your speculating on how the Beatles influenced those who came after them. I even kind of like that you're only going to do these every 3 weeks, because it mimics a bit what it was like to experience the development of the Beatles in realtime, for those of my generation. You get to enjoy each album for a bit before discovering the next quantum leap. And some quantum leaps are coming soon, dear Caroline! :-)
Yay! I was just looking forward to this singles upload and I didn't see it on last night's channel list. yet here you are now! Woohoo!
Thank you thank you thank you Girl😉 for doing these Beatles reactions. So much fun.I love how you pick up on all the musicality of the songs. All the nuances which make them stand out. Can’t wait for your next album reaction.
Your reaction and analysis of And I Love Her was worth the wait.
Yes there is an Elvis version of Long Tall Sally - original by Little Richard. The Beatles version is incredible.
Don't ever change the way you review this videos, I love it!! I love it! I love it!! You make me so happy!
Keep making these. Really great to hear first impressions from a musician.
