Every time you listen to another Beatles song for the first time, an angel gets their wings....or something like that....

Back in the day, songs were meant to be only about three minutes long. The Beatles defied expectation by making a seven minute song and getting it played on the radio. And it became one of the biggest hits ever. Only the Beatles could get away with writing a three minute song and then sticking four minutes of "na-na-na-naa" on the end. An absolute classic.

For as long as I have been alive "The Beatles" and their music have been a beautiful constant in my life. From watching their cartoons as a child to loving their music as I grew up. To following their individual careers, "The Beatles" in one form or another have been there. I am not alone in feeling a special bond with "The lads" from Liverpool. They're like a warm blanket that always make us feel good when I hear any of their music. I was fortunate enough to watch Sir Paul McCartney in concert and I was in tears as I finally had the chance to watch a Beatle live, perform his greatest songs. Long live the remaining Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. May John Lennon and George Harrison RIP. Thank you.

Written by Paul for John Lennon’s son Julian when his parents were divorcing. Saw Paul in N.O. back in 5/19. He’s still got 95% of his voice in his 70’s. It was the first show on his tour, so he had stamina that was nothing but incredible!! He sang Hey Jude for 7:49 according to my video. I hadn’t realized what a MUSICIAN Paul is, until then.

I've loved this song since it came out. It really is one the THE BEST SONGS ever! IMO. And all great songs have 2 things in common, great music and great lyrics. And if you have the Beatles performing it, well that's icing on the cake.

Great reaction. The Beatles are the real deal. They changed pop music forever.

I've been fortunate enough in my life to see this song performed live by Paul McCartney I have seen many concerts in my lifetime But hands down the best performance ever with Paul McCartney and this song and it's not even my favourite song but this song when performed live holy cow You need to react to a live version of this song

I've seen it too. Literally an entire stadium can sing the whole song without Paul. Luckily he sings with us anyway.

“While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, please. The original version.

Yes! George is my favorite Beatle!

Thank you. You're brilliant. I'm 62 years old. Your reaction captured the song.

I loved watching your reaction! I was a kid when The Beatles began and I grew up loving them. I'm 64 now and still play Beatles CDs. They were the best and always will be.

At that time no one had released a 7+ minute single.

“MacArthur Park” was the first single to exceed 7 minutes, a few months prior to “Hey Jude”

This has been my favorite song since I heard it over 50 years ago.

When you turn 60 yrs old, you'll have a lot of favorite songs. Listen to "In my Life" by The Beatles

I was a young teenager in 1963 and heard Please Please Me for the first time, it stopped me in my tracks and so The Beatles journey began, I can't believe that me and thousands of others are still on that journey 60 years later, just staggering musical greatness.

It might sound weird, but watching your reaction to the song left me smiling. It's such a good song. The harmony with the horns at the end - just with how steady the horns are with the root of the I-VII-IV-I chord progression - it's like a canvas, and they kind of paint all over it with the vocal harmonies. It may be the GOAT when it comes to pop / rock.

The emotional power of the horns with the "na na na na's" is incredible and beautiful ❤️

One of the Greatest songs ever made. If you get a chance, listen to the song that was on the flip side (B-side) of this record. 'Revolution'

Revolution 1 is now an demo/extra song on the White Album remastered from 2018, so I assume it's from those sessions. I'm not seeing it on "1" tracklist. Was it part of the double LP vinyl?

I was born the day HEY JUDE hit number one. I feel a special connection to the song, and take it with me whenever I need to get my courage up, or whenever I'm just depressed. It always enriches my soul. Turn it up, and it turns your day around.

Greatest 'singalong' song ever wrote!!😉👍👍👍💖💞❤🎸

“Ticket to ride”, it will always be my favorite Beatles song. It’s early in their career, and shows so much maturity. A true foreshadowing of the greatness that was to come.

This song proves that if the Beatles were to debut today they would still be just as big.

The Beatles just keep bringing it!! So many more songs you will discover! Thank you, James! Love the channel

React to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", it's a masterpice by George Harrison, vocalist of the song and lead guitarist of the band, but in this song the lead guitarist is Eric Clapton.

Actually, it's worth listening to the 50th Anniversary remix that came out a couple of years ago - Clapton's guitar work shines through. And then listen to the version on the soundtrack of "The Beatles - Love" Cirque du Soleil show that George Martin completely reimagined from a demo tape of the song with a new symphonic orchestration, arranged by Sir George. The poignancy of the song is just stunning.

Ringo's drumming on EVERY Beatles song is so subtle, deft and underappreciated. His playing always swings, and fits perfectly to every single song. There are more technical drummers, more powerful drummers, more flashy drummers, but there is no drummer alive or dead who could have been a more perfect drummer for The Beatles than the one and only Ringo Starr.

1967, 17 years old, living on my.own in Boston. Literally wore this 45 out.
