Then pretty much recorded as a live performance of band in same room having to sing in tune and play together. That was limit and benefit of using analogue real to reel tape.

That's why the end score of Tschaikovsky's Swan Lake works no matter what ending the director and choreographers died to go with.

For many things another saying is true: "It's all over except for the crying". That's the case with mankind. He's destroyed several things about the planet beyond repair. Too much pollution, greed, hatred, wars and just plain old selfishness. And while it is true that if everybody had love for everybody, then man might be able to achieve a great civilization. But that's just never going to happen. There has always been a lot of hatred in the world. No reason to believe that's ever going to change, not while God isn't governing mankind. But thanks for the positivity. I hope you and George and all the other undying optimists are right - that man will get his act together and make his (our) civilization a beautiful thing. I simply think that this whole mess is a demonstration in the futility of man trying to govern himself without God. We have everything we need to create a utopian civilization, yet we ever fail. "The handwriting is on the wall." "Stick a fork in it." We're done. (Too many clichés?) But DAMN - this was a great song! So well written! And the recording/arrangement!!! - Listen to it with good headphones or high quality ear buds to hear everything the best. Or, at (very) high volume through high quality speakers (JBL, etc.). But good quality headphones/ear buds are the best in my opinion. I prefer them over loudspeakers in the studio, even for just playback. You can better hear the stereo effects, and those sounds at very low volume in the background. It's impossible to get the same listening experience with loudspeakers.

The final verse, that was left out: "I look from the wings, at the play you are staging, while my guitar gently weeps, 'cause I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging, still my guitar gently weeps." This song has a circular structure, almost as if laid out on a mandala, and George wrote another song called "Circles", about the same time, it was intended for this same album, but it didn't come out until 1982.

This song came out 5 years after "I wanna hold your hand".

Just think, they "formed" in 1962... put out all this timeless, incredible music, and were done as a band by 1970. 51 years ago. Thankfully, they all went on to create some incredible music after that as solo artists. This amount of talent in a single band will never be equaled again.

And they did this all in 7 years. I can’t think of anyone else that did so much so well in such a short time.

The Beatles were definitely ahead of their time as were many other musicians around that era between 1965 -1979. The reason why it is still relative today is because music has not really progressed all that much in the past twenty years or so. That is why bands like The Rolling Stones, who are well past their primes music-wise, can still fill arenas and stadiums.

The Beatles were time travelling wizards. The greatest band there ever was and ever will be - there will never be another musical group like them.

This has long been my very favorite of all Beatles songs. It’s so powerfully emotive and such a slow burn passionate tune. The one great shame is that they never played this live when it was freshly revealed to the world. That would have been mind blowing. What’s truly sad is that there aren’t any songs out now - or for the past decade or two - that come anywhere close,to the quality and power of this.

I was born in 1948 and I still love this song ; that is why the Beatles are the best.

It's George, but Eric Clapton played lead guitar on it. So amazing!

I was just thinking that someone needs to react to Alice Cooper and the BeeGees singing "Because".

I also love George Harrison's 1987 solo album, "Cloud Nine". It also sounds timeless and fresh even 34 years later. "I Got My Mind Set on You" was a huge radio hit at the time, but I like the title song and "Someplace Else" even better. But make no mistake: the entire album is precious!

If planet Earth is still here in a Thousand years, new generations of that time will still be listening to The Beatles and reacting the same way

You should check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame version of this song with Prince. Rock n Roll legends fill the stage and Prince steals the show. It's rare when I like a non Beatles version of a Beatles song so much but it's amazing. BTW, Eric Clapton plays the guitar solo in this original version of the song. George Harrison wrote some of the most beautiful Beatles songs.

Clapton on lead, Harrison doing 12 string acoustic , Macca on piano and bass and Ringo on drums. John gets official credit for rhythm guitar even thought he wasn't there.

Your Mom was one, I was 13. I am so happy to see young people like you, James, that appreciates the music I grew up with. Sixties/seventies music is the best, most complex music ever recorded and I am so thankful this music was the soundtrack to my formative years.

When I was in HS I was really into the singer-songwriters (Cat Stevens, Carole King, James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Simon and Garfunkel, etc) and started to move into light rock like the Eagles. The last 20 years has been a journey to revisit what I missed: Zeppelin, Beatles, Floyd, Who, etc. The 60's and 70's produced so much timeless music that it is taking a lifetime to absorb.

After fifty years of loving them, it never gets old. Never. They are the 🐐.

It fit in 1968..It fits in 2022 and it WILL fit in 2042. Seriously...How many songs can you say qualify to be in this category. THANK YOU .....F.Y.I...My # 1 song is Slave To Love by Bryan Ferry and # 2 is Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan.. Comments????

The Beatles were ahead of their time, but one person who made a big impact on The Beatles music was their producer George Martin. He was responsible for talking The Beatles to “the next level”. He filled out their music with the full orchestral sound. The strings and violins playing added so much depth to their songs.

Amazing George Harrison song from The White Album. You are right. The Beatles music is timeless. The creative genius of The Beatles. ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

God bless you Rome for getting it....us older folks that grew up with this music have been restored!

We call them the Psychedelic Beatles... Freaked us out too. Lol You run down to the record store, buy the newest Beatles record take it home, run it home, put it on the phonograph, and what!!?? Couldn't understand it at all. I cried for days ! What happened to MY Beatles!? Well, they got high...😅

they're simply The Greatest Musical Group of all Time.

This song is absolutely amazing.

These guys were just insanely creative, and because they were so huge they had the freedom to experiment with different styles and different sounds. Plus, the 60s was pretty much defined by experimentation with all kinds of things, whether it be drugs, styles, music, or culture.

Love your reactions. Now you know how we felt as the Beatles created their Magic Starting 60 yrs ago! They were a gift from God the world badly needed back then
