Actually a lot. His dad left him when he was a young child, his Uncle that helped raised him dies of a heart attack, just a few years prior to this song being written his Mom is killed by a drunk off duty police officer when he ran her over with his car. In the early Beatles days, their original bass player Stuart dies suddenly. Paul's mother had died about 10 years prior, so yes John at a young age had already seen a lot come and go in his short lifetime.

He showed up again when his son hit the big time but they had an on again-off again relationship depending on John's moods and sobriety or lack thereof. He actually recorded a demo in the US in 1966 that his son used as the chord structure for Imagine.

This was one of my and my wife's wedding songs. It's perfect for us, not only because she is a big Beatles fan, but also because we were both middle-aged and previously married when we met. We both have had our share of previous relationships. This is a beautiful song about how there will always be people who meant something to you, who will always mean something to you, but will never mean as much to you as your one true love. It's amazing to think that John Lennon wrote this when he was only about 25. It is such a mature perspective.

When my daughter got married, she chose this song for us to have the "Daddy/Daughter" dance at the post wedding reception. I teared up big time. In fact, I'm tearing up as I type this.

This song gets better with age for the obvious reasons. I am now 70 so I was there when this album came out.

And this is why the Beatles are the greatest band of all time!! They get you in so many ways .

John's major contribution on Sgt. Peppers was "A Day In The Life", and Paul's was "She's Leaving Home".

The contemporary story of this song is that John brought into the studio this beautiful poem and left it there. Paul picked it up and set it to music. All four Beatles later created the arrangement. So there is the collaboration right there.

@stickman1742

8 ай бұрын

That is not the contemporary story, that is Paul's version that he came up with decades later. In a video from that time period in '65 there is an interview with both John and Paul are talking to a reporter about that song. Lennon is talking about how he created this song and mentioned that Paul helped a bit. Paul nodded along. Paul only created the version of him writing all the music as well as most of the lyrics recently. Paul even said John only had the first line which doesn't appear to make any sense since the entire set of lyrics in Lennon's handwriting exists. Paul's story is just his revisionist history as the way he remembers it as the way he puts it. I wouldn't trust an 80 year old's memory from events 50 years earlier in the best of cases nevermind with Paul's history. Then the song sounds like a classic Lennon melody exactly as he was writing other songs of that period. He was creating Girl, Norwegian Wood, It's Only Love and many others in a similar vein. This sounds nothing like a typical Paul melody. And since when has Lennon ever written a set of lyrics with no idea of a melody to sing it? This is a guy that was at the height of his powers during Rubber Soul cranking out some of his best work. Paul's contributions on Rubber Soul were among his less popular. I like them, but they weren't big hits. This song has Lennon written all over it. I'm sure Paul helped a bit on it as they each helped other with their songs.

@@stickman1742This is untrue. Paul first made the claim that he set the words to melody back in 1970, when John was very much alive and able to rebuttal, which he did.

He’s never claimed he wrote the lyrics, he acknowledges the lyrics were all John.

For Ringo songs: Octopus's Garden is such a beautiful song with a message and a vibe I think you two would love (then again, that's true for most every song of theirs). George also helped him write it, so, I think it made that song a little more special with their unique styles combining. More popular songs of his, and just as great, are With A Little Help From My Friends and Yellow Submarine, but I think Octopus's Garden is an underrated gem.

This Beatle song always makes me tear up. My parents and younger brother all gone too soon.

For any musicians, this song has the classic Lennon chord sequence going from major to minor on the IV chord leading back to the I. He used this device in quite a few of his songs and it’s particularly moving in this one - his falsetto “in my life” over the minor IV at the end is beautiful. RIP John.

@@ewest14 once you get paul's balls out of your mouth maybe you'll realize it was lennons band and he was the genius behind most of the songs.

Amber…you are making me cry girl. Just got home from a friend’s 31 year old son’s celebration of life so this this song right now is so appropriate.🙏💞

Rubber Soul is that bridge album. It's really at the crossroads of the Beatles career. It expresses a maturity that belies their age at the time. This song really encapsulates that album very well. And I also have to admit, Rubber Soul is one extremely wonderful sound expression. It's a beautiful sounding album. Much better sounding than most albums today with a lot less technology then.

I wouldn't argue with that but there were always a few of their songs that were a bit different to the standard boy/girl type songs typical of the time on all of their albums, right back at the beginning with a song like There's A Place.

Ringo sang “With a little help from my friends” It comes right out of “Sgt. Pepper’s lonely hearts club band” sung by Paul.Those 2 songs from the Sgt. pepper album should be listened to together in order.

Agreed. You have to listen to both (Sgt. Pepper followed immediately by With A Little Help From My Friends). Too many people separate them, which ruins one of the all-time great transitions in Rock-n-Roll history.

This is definitely one of my favorite Beatles songs. The nostalgic nature of it makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. It's bittersweet in that it let's me think of everything I have done and all the people that I love. Some of them are gone, yet I still remember them always.

What a well-crafted song. The lyrics and the music go together so beautifully. The sentiment is rich and subtle -- it surprises your heart!

They packed so many great songs into only 8 years. Ringo lead vocals My favorite With A Little Help From My Friends this is the original, Yellow Submarine are the two best with Ringo singing. Don't Pass Me By, Octopus's Garden he wrote and sang. And Act Naturally.

For decades, folks said of Ringo that he wasn't a great drummer. They were all wrong, too, because they judged him on "technical merit", not quality of performance. There are plenty of videos by drummers taking down that misconception, and they tell it better than I can, with the exception that Ringo's left-handed, but played on a right-handed kit setup, which also throws off the technicality folks, because that can't sound the same, apples-potatoes.

My favorite Beatles song. The older I get the more relatable it is. It's a great song about memories of your past.

I'm from Liverpool (left Ireland when I was 2 yrs old!), therefore they are very special to me. I was born in 1960 so really missed out a lot of their songs when they first came out - yet later on they continued fabulous songs, the brilliant Beatles!!!!! 💝💝💝💝💝💝

I am 65 so I watched them on Ed Sullivan. They changed so much it is hard to describe. Beatles Forever

This is my all time favorite Beatles song. Thank you for reacting to this classic, with John on lead. ❤️

I sang this song for my parents' 25th anniversary. Had to do it over the phone because we lived in different cities. Still brings a warm love to my heart, as they're both now gone. I'm tearing up right now.❤️ It is my favorite song by the Beatles, and I love them all.

I love these remastered versions of the Beatles songs. Is it just me, or do they sound so much richer? I can hear things I never heard before on the vinyl and CD versions, and I've been listening since 1984. They're more soundscapes than songs now - like looking at the whole of the Mona Lisa painting, and not just the smile

Well, John sang this. But Ringo had many great moments.

This song is about cherishing the past in its fondness those who were in your life and its sadness for loss, but also that joy continues anew as you step into the future. Particularly with your partner. Its very romantic. Sort of the perfect wedding song.

My absolute favorite Beatles song. One that makes this old man tear up thinking of the people that has left us, and the new people that have come into your life.

such a beautiful song but this is the first time ive been able to listened in years. My father was a huge beatles fan and this played during his funeral 18 yrs ago

Ringo sang lead on "Yellow Submarine" and also "Goodnight" (written by Lennon & McCartney" and "Octopus's Garden" which he wrote. Yellow Submarine is the most famous, but "Goodnight on the White Album is pretty impressive.

Probably the most honest love song ever written.

One of their finest songs...so much emotion

It is impossible to overstate the influence of the Beatles

So many Beatles songs have a unique quality. This one has a bridge with a Baroque genre….as if written by Bach! Beatles producer, George Martin played it slowly and then sped up the recording to fit…and it sounds like a harpsichord. It’s a surprising sound. But the whole song feels nostalgic for people you have loved. And that bridge gives that nostalgia a vintage quality.

This is one of the best albums. I played this song at my wedding, the music before the wedding. 8 of the people that attended my wedding are now gone. I miss them all.

It’s amazing how young they were to come up with such a mature song.

The Beatles were growing up and their songs showed it, especially on this album. This was a turning point for them. Rubber Soul is my favorite Beatles album of all time.

I love everything by the Beatles, but the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums, and every track on them are closest to my heart. SO much personal nostalgia! 👍👍💙💙

This was a staple of high school graduation ceremonies in the 70's and 80's. We sang it at mine, and my sister's class it at hers. When John gets sweet, it's always bittersweet. I think you'd really like their song "When I'm 64", another sweet love song and one that highlights the difference between John and Paul, whose love songs were often innocently sweet without any darkness. As to Ringo, "Octopus's Garden" is quite lovely.

This song is just nostalgia to the highest degree! We all feel nostalgia! It’s a thing we can explain easily but can’t be shared exactly the same way

I love working at John and Paul’s childhood homes, it’s like stepping into a Time Machine 🥰 This reaction was awesome ❤

Please continue back into the earlier Beatles. There are some amazing masterpieces hidden there. This is so beautiful, the harmonies, the instrumentation and heart grabbing sentiments in this song are etched in my mind forever. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

To me this is one of the best songs ever written. It really shows Lennon's growth as a song writer. How about some early Beatles with Ringo? "Act Naturally' or 'With a Little Help From My Friends' spring to mind. Cheers.

Have looked at this video three times now. So touching to see Amber being touched by the song. This wonderful song that many of us have known and appreciated for 57 years now... Regards Paul

During COVID lockdown, with a lot of time on my hands I got the chance to listen to most all of the Beatles incredible canon of work. Having been around for a good while, let's just say I've seen a host of artists and bands come and go.In my experience, even greats rarely have more than 10 stand out songs. I think Id have no problem listing thirty, forty odd. This precious gem is only 2 and and a half minutes long. It's often voted their finest . Lennon and McCartney were maybe 23, something like that when composing this. It's a little masterpiece. I always return to it from time to time to remind myself what absolute genius songwriters and performers they truly were.

So glad you guys hit this tune! It’s sensational, great work from Lennon

I once heard someone describe the special phenomenon of The Beatles was that they were truly loved all over the world and by multiple generations. So for a relatively short period of time, everyone everywhere were singing the same songs at the same time. It had never happened before and has never happened since.

You are so right! I had never thought of it that way but it is true. Everyone was on the same page. All ages and all over the world. A special time in history never to be repeated again. So glad I was a child of the 60’s to witness this. I think the stars aligned and it was meant to be.

just goes to show that more than 50 years since they ceased as a band their music is still unforgettable , there will never be another band that means so much to most of humanity never ever Beatles 4ever!!

TRIVIA: @4:36 where you hear a harpsichord like piano run was played & written by their producer George Martin. He played the part very slowly then speeded up the tape and it came out with a harpsichord tone. There is a reason G. Martin was often referred to as the 5th Beatle. He actually did some short playing in about 30 of their songs.

Yellow Submarine and I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends are two of Ringo’s songs. He didn’t have as wide a range in his voice so John and Paul wrote songs for him within that range. Joe Cocker also covered A Little Help too and it’s phenomenal.
