The Doors have plenty of ghost shouts, and improvised in such a way that you’d think it was planned out like that.

I’ve always heard these “ghost” vocals and assumed it was just their style. They did this all the time. I didn’t know about there being two different versions of the song, though. Very cool.

when I listened to this, as a kid, I always thought it was spontaneous. Of course, most kids believe that songs are just played in their current state. Now, as adults, we realize that additions are constantly made in the studio. The Beatles learned to utilize this feature. So, when we're listening to a song which had been planned for months, recorded in 45 takes, and fragmented, it all sounds like a spontaneous recording.

This song really scared many fans way back. See, by then many other bands saw the Beatles as too pop and not heavy enough. Well...they put everyone to shame. And we all stood at attention. When 'Abbey' came out we had all known, through the grapevine, they were breaking up, that it was over. There was a feeling of death, and this song was too much to bear. It seemed really really scary. Mixed emotions going on.

@Japanese Flying Squirrel Still a far cry from modern boybands, or even the Monkees. The Beatles had their own story, they formed independently, and then adopted that whole image with the suits and everything in the early 60s, the haircuts a bit earlier than that. They wrote their own songs and they found each other and decided to get together and play some music. The Beatles were not the result of a record label looking to make money getting random good-looking musicians and giving them songs to perform as a band all of a sudden. The only thing even remotely manufactured about them was Brian Epstein suggesting they wear those famous suits so associated with their early 60s period now. But the thing is pretty much every successful band ever has had a look, a certain style. There is always some sort of cohesion visually between the members. The Beatles weren't the first or the last to do that, and if that makes them manufactured, practically every successful band ever is manufactured.

I’m surprised that the studio wasn’t better soundproofed, which they needed to keep outside noise from being hear inside. Also, I really don’t think most bands play at loud “corvette” volume while recording. It would distort the recording and make the VU meters spike excessively. Abbey Road, still a gem of a record. Bravo!

I love 'She's so heavy' because like many tracks on Abbey Road, it sets a possible trajectory *if* they kept going through the 1970s. However, what I really like about it's brooding menace is 'Here Comes the Sun' follows. Not only do you have this masterpiece, but the counter to it is another majestic Beatles song.

Besides being a beautiful song, Here Comes the Sun is very interesting from a musical perspective. The bridge has time signatures like 11/8 which is very unique in western music and was influenced by George’s interest in Indian music.

In college we had a party and I, a budding recording engineer, was in charge of music and I had a tape recorder. At one point in the evening's playlist I looped the end of "She's so Heavy" so it lasted about 20 minutes. It became such a part of the background that when it eventually came to its natural end it was like the air was sucked out of the room. People nearly fell over.

*Hello. I don't know if it's of any interest to you, but outside of the immediate family, our Uncle Bob was formally **_"Professor Robert Arthur Moog, BA, MA, Ph.D."_** He invented the world's first commercial analog synthesizer back in 1964. But anyway, the only reason I mention him, is because intermittently throughout 1969, he lived in London and worked with a young man called Michael Vickers at Abbey Road studios. Mr Vickers was employed by George Martin at the studios, and had been given the unenviable task of programing the Moog synthesizers used on the Abbey Road album. Uncle Bob knew George Martin pretty well, and so he asked him as a favor, if he could go over to London and work with, or perhaps train Michael (Vickers) on the Moog programing used on the album, which of course he did. Anyway, in 1979, and as part of EMI celebrations for the 10th anniversary of the release of the album, Uncle Bob was invited to take part in a number of interviews on local radio stations, and he was actually asked at a couple of these interviews about the screaming in the background of **_"I Want You (She's So Heavy)"._** And Uncle Bob was pretty adamant that it was just Paul, vocalizing the sound he wanted to **_'squeeze out of'_** his own guitar. Something he apparently did quite often in both live and studio performances. Although with family, he used to joke that it was probably Paul screaming at Yoko to leave the effing studio! So that's my little contribution on the subject. Take care all.*

Or in our case, "Just Uncle Bob making lots of weird noises from his hand-built workshop/studio at the bottom of the garden"! I think what we're most proud of as a family, is that he refused to patent 95% of what he invented, because he felt the whole of the music world should be able to make use of his invention. But we're still very proud (and often get quite sentimental), whenever we see pop and rock artists, standing behind a keyboard carrying our family name, in front of thousands on a televised concert or wherever.

Tell you some of the members of them. She took me to see van Halen in 1982, went in and watched the show. Her favorite queen song was "tie your mother down". The beatles had too many good ones for her to pick just one. RIP mom. Sure do miss that girl.

It's with some disappointment in myself that I've reached the ripe old age of 51 and only heard about this track from your video when I first watched it just four days ago. I have some Beatles albums, but I don't have Abbey Road and I've only ever heard the singles from it, so this particular track has eluded me until now. So, I figured it'd be on youtube somewhere, found it, had a listen, and I can honestly say I was blown away! The styles it covers sound much more recent than the 1969 date would suggest. I could hear bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s in there, mainly along the darker paths of prog rock, metal, darkwave, grunge and even elements of industrial rock. And then I got utterly lost in that lengthy outro, sucking me inside my own mind until I was abruptly and unceremoniously dumped back to reality by that cut. And since that first listen, I can't get it out of my head. It's a masterpiece! And given it's the last song they recorded together as a group, it almost feels like a baton passed to the future: Like they were saying, "Here you go, this is where we think rock should be going, now run with it."

Same here. I'm 54, and although I think I've probably heard this song "very infrequently" over the decades, if I'd heard it, I never really heard it enough for it to register in my brain consciously, till sometime this past year or so. Decades ago, before I was online, there would have simply been no way to look it up later, even if I could have remembered enough lyrics from the radio to do so. I gave up on "modern music" in 1983 at age 16, because of the mounting ratio of crap (in both country and rock et al), to good music. And vowed from that day forth, to ONLY listen to the Oldies. The Oldies being roughly defined by myself then as anything older than 16, lol. Or perhaps younger, but a great song from the 70s, which I hadn't heard till it was a few years old. And I kept my word. And from spot checks now and then in the decades since, I certainly haven't missed much. And by only listening to great music, from the two/three decade Golden Age of Music (50s thru the 70s, with some 80s added carefully) as opposed to "new music" of indiscriminate or more often nonexistent quality, my earworms are now, uniformly fantastic! And the earworms now include this song from time to time. I'm still discovering new music, that although it is old chronologically, is new to me. And a few (very few) newer songs that make the grade. Life is just too short to listen to crap music, just for the unimportant reason that it is new. As a farm lad, I knew then, as I know now, that being "fresh and new" definitely does NOT improve anything that can be defined as being a form of feces. Whether it is from a cow, a horse, a dog, or feces from a music studio. Being fresh and new, just makes feces worse and less tolerable. Which is a fact the so-called music industry does not want you to think about that hard. 😂

Waited with baited breath. Finding them years later is admirable, but being there from the beginning is such a life enriching experience that stays with you til your last breath. Another milestone just passed. FEB. 7, 1964 and FEB. 9. Arrived in America and very first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Another one coming up August 19, 1965 AND '66. '65, Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, TX. '66, Midsouth Coliseum Memphis, TN, face to face at their press conference. John autographed his 1st book and George shook hands with me, his effort, not mine. Yeah, being there from the beginning is the best way!

I particularly remember the surprise of the Rubber Soul cover as I unwrapped the album as a Christmas present 1965. It was so different! But not as shocking as seeing the Sgt Pepper cover for the first time.

If you play I Want You backwards at 78rpm, just before John's scream, you'll clearly hear Ringo shouting 'why are you listening to the tune backwards, you f***king muppet!' No, I'm just joking....

This song was on the playlist that played in the restaurant where I held my very first job. It was 1976 and the restaurant was The Courtyard Restaurant in Houston, Texas. The entire experience was surreal for me because my family didn't dine at high-end restaurants or listen to rock and roll. The central part of the restaurant was created to give the sensation of an outdoor courtyard somewhere in Europe, complete with moving clouds on the ceiling, rooflines all around the perimeter and clotheslines with laundry drying. If I wasn't busy when "l Want You" came on, I would settle back into the shadows and allow all of my senses to be overwhelmed and take me on a drug-free trip. To this day, this song instantly transports me back to 1976 and that restaurant. Thank you for adding so much nuance to an amazing memory!

I rewatch this video so much because She’s so Heavy is my favourite Beatles song. The Trident recording is one of the best pieces of art produced.

“I want you” is top five Beatles songs for me. In fact, it’s one of the great recordings in history. It bleeds, it screams, it growls. The guitar lines are iconic. Paul’s bass playing is slick & sexy. The vocals are well, you get the idea. I can NOT stop it once it starts. I’ve probably listened to it 500 times over the last 50 years. Both to listen and to study. The final riff line could go on forever, & I imagine it does. I’ve imagined seeing it live & the final section goes on for 45 minutes, over & over, tearing at your brain as guitars burn and new ones are brought up to burned as well. It’s harder than anything Zeppelin recorded because it’s purely raw. Zeppelin actually played monster but their recordings are clean & crisp. I love em btw. This song, including John’s scream, is utterly primal, as if all the frustrations of their entire careers were being released. The white noise is was a revelation at the time. I imagined them playing, and the camera pulls back and they’re in the middle of a withering blizzard and they just sink into the screaming wind. It’s mayhem encroaching on the music. Like electronic rage slowly drowning out the Beatles… and of course, when it cuts off, we ALL jumped out of our chairs to see why the record player broke. The ultimate WTF moment. I literally then thought I’d gotten a bad copy of the record. I had to check with a friend to realize he’d gotten a bad copy too!! What a rip it was!

Sounds like Paul to me.

To me, the last two minutes or so sounds like you're in a rainstorm, hurricane or a tornado, so chaotic, destructive, then...silence. It's the end. BRILLIANT!

Loved this song from the day I bought this wonderful album way back when - my highlight was the change of beat @ 2:25 into the solo - very cool! Plus one of the greatest song outro's ever......always had to be played LOUD!! What a song - what an album - what a joy it gave and still gives me to hear it to this day. Our generation was blessed to have had these guys as a huge part of our musical lives.

I was about 13 years old and hanging out with my best friend and his older brother in their basement when I first heard I Want You/She's So Heavy. It was highly cranked up on a great stereo system, and I was transported into a world of intrigue and awesomeness!!! It remains one of my all time favorite songs!♡ It was very cool to learn about the details of it's creation. Thank you!♡ I've often wondered if with today's recording technology a remake could be made that had all the original complexity and intrigue, but also deeper and more powerful bass sounds.

One thing you didn't mention was how the song relates to the very next track "Here Comes the Sun." Although on vinyl the space between the two tracks required an album flip on other media it is such an amazing change of gears to go from the tape cut on "I Want You" to the gentle beginnings of "Here Comes the Sun." I think it is especially effective on the digital format.

Yeah, I'd say it was Paul working out his bassline.

It's Paul not only can you hear his voice but he has a habit of following the melody of songs. A great example of this is the stripped down version of Something. You can't hear it very well in the final but after it was stripped down to only George and Paul's vocals it becomes apparent. Paul does this quite frequently not only with Wings, his solo work, and live.

I think "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" on pondering the Beatles about 20 yrs ago, I decided that this, was the BEST they have ever done - and I don't even do drugs! I can imagine what a trip that must be at the same time! The Beatles reached a new level in composition and style. If they had stayed together, who knows what else? After they broke up, thinking about their solo work, I don't think they ever created anything better than this.

I freaking love these anomalies and imperfections throughout their collection. Kudos to them for leaving this stuff in and giving the music its character. No frills, no gimmicks, just genius songwriting and performance. It doesn't take away in the least- in fact it adds to it! More bands should do this

Sonically speaking ‘Abbey Road’ is their best record. That’s indisputable. It marks the first time they recorded with eight tracks for an entire LP, received only a stereo mix (no mono mixes were undertaken), and most importantly, the first and only time they tracked using a Solid State mixing console. Truly their swan song.

I never appreciated until today how much work went into this song, and how long it took. As a teenager I didn't like the song as it wasn't melodic enough but it in the intervening years it has grown on me. I like all the ghost vocals, assuming they were the result of studio exuberance and the small number of tracks. For me they are a lot of fun. I am pleased they have not been erased in our current enthusiasm for standardisation and perfectionism.

I've always wished we could hear the version of this song without the cut; a whole 'nother minute of that punching guitar riff would just make it perfect. Now that I know there's a guitar solo buried (or perhaps removed entirely) in the mix, I can't help but want to hear that, too. I need to become friends with Giles Martin, I think...

As a studio engineer, I can tell you that I've often heard unwanted sound leaking from loud headphones and being picked up by sensitive condenser mics. Sometimes throw-away "scratch" tracks are made which contain different information than production tracks, such as tempo clicks and rough guitar and vocal recordings used for reference. Occasionally that bleed noise remains if the take is great and the band is on a strict time budget. I can hear background talking on GFR's I'm Your Captain too.

@duckduckgoismuchbetter

Talking about someone talking over the I Am Your Captain song...one of my pet peeves is radio DJs talking over the beginning or ends of songs, or running other songs or advertisements over songs. But this song, for decades, has been the exception to that rule. As far as I'm concerned, after about the eleventy millionth "I am your captain, please don't take my boat away from me", they can talk over, cut off, or otherwise destroy the rest of the record, and hang the band! I've always wanted someone to make a parody of that annoying song, and interrupt the whining captain, and make him walk the plank of his own ship. 😂 In my mind, the parody would be a bunch of rough British sailors, who were mutinying, and talking over top of the captain, and speculating on what to do with him after they steal his ship, lol. And the more he whines and repeats himself about them not taking his ship, the more dire the things they are discussing doing with him. Till eventually they make him walk his own plank. Into a bunch of sharks below. And then, for the ending, they say, "Blimey! Even the bleeding sharks don't want him!. Let's haul him back up, and fire him out the bloody cannon!" Meanwhile, he's STILL repeating that last line a million times, while the highly annoyed sharks flee in terror. And the last thing on the parody is the sailors haul the bastard up out of the midst of the fleeing sharks. And the last thing on the record is the boom of the cannon, and the captain's terrified scream, "YAAAAAAAaaaaaaaah!!!", as he disappears over the oceans horizon, lol. Abrupt song end. There were so many song parodies in the 60s, I'm surprised this song was not given that treatment.

It always sounded like "far out" to me, in response to John's great scream! Anyway "ghost vocals" were common in Beatles recordings (listen to Chains, for example, from their very first album). No reason to want to "unhear" them; they're an essential part of Beatle mystique.

I'm not a big fan of the Beatles but, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song. It's a work of genius., Every element combines to create an incredibly powerful soundscape as the tension increases and the white noise takes over the music. My only complaint is that it's too short. It could go on and on as far a as I'm concerned. I've heard several versions - remixed to ridiculous lengths and it totally works.

The Abby Road album is magical to me in a way no other is. And the "I Want You" song is its most powerful piece at connecting with me.

This band, this album, this song, and this channel are all goddamn masterpieces

How I understand this song/ what this song symbolizes for me is something like this; The lyrics, “I want you” and “She’s so” is correlating to love or relationships that The Beatles did songs about earlier in their career, but overtaken by heavy sounding instruments, symbolizing inevitable death that can sometimes end abruptly. and in this case, the end of The Beatles. Death itself is a heavy topic to discuss. So that’s the vibe i’m getting from this song.

This song belongs on a Sludge Metal album. I cannot understate how much I adore this song and seeing this video just makes me love it even more.
