The Beatles-Can You Take Me Back (White Album Outtake)

[xmarijeeemj]

His voice GODDAMN

[lax21211]

i wish i grew up in 60's

[edwardLRS]

I have this on my white album. I just bought it at a record store and it's not listed on the track list but it's on there as its own track. What the fuck?

[BIuejay]

@edwardLRS Er, it's a hidden track, genius.

[edwardLRS]

@BIuejay Err, they never released it as it's own hidden track on any retail white album, genius.

[BIuejay]

@edwardLRS You said it was a hidden track on your copy of the album, moron.

[rockguythirtytwo]

@edwardLRS That's wrong: it's right after Cry Baby Cry

[hehhee1000]

@MartySGHU700 

[TheRobot021411]

My new favourite

[kelvinz0r]

the best band ever

[R3ALDUBB3DD3R3K]

@ipolson I bet your rite. Maybe Paul wants to get back to how things were when they were in the earlier years. I still would've like to have seen another 2-3 albums by The Beatles.

[R3ALDUBB3DD3R3K]

@bradleypartyof3 no that's why there's a song from the album Please Please Me that's titled "There's a Place" to me this song is Paul confessing how he's regreting doing something. Probably has to do with Jane Asher.

[ipolson]

@R3ALDUBB3DD3R3K: This is about Paul's wish at the time to take the Beatles 'back' to their roots and performing again, a thought which developed with the next project 'Get Back' or 'Let it Be' as it became. That why he had the idea of them performing on the roof at Apple. To try and get them enjoying performing together again, alas all in vain. This song is a little message to the other Beatles.

[Amaresku]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I think the album turned out the best the way it did. This song has a very nice sound, but it's way too long. The few seconds at the end of Cry Baby Cry was just enough.

[grevejp44]

@MartySGHU700 Get rid of wild honey pie, add the full version of this to cry baby cry, and add the spanish guitar from wild honey pie to the end of this new extend version of cry baby cry. also swap revolution 9 for hey jude.

[Joeyd123abc2]

@grevejp44 oh, and remove good night

[matchbox555]

@Joeyd123abc2 helter skelter should be the last song on the album.. then the final words would be "ive got blisters on my fingers !"

[matchbox555]

@grevejp44 never ! i love revolution 9

[Neurodisco77]

@grevejp44

I agree with your new tracklist but Revolution 9 must stay

[grevejp44]

@Neurodisco77 why?

[Neurodisco77]

@grevejp44

Because it's an interesting and creepy track, very different from their usual sound,

and a good example of tape manipulation.

Moreover the fact that many Beatles fans hate it is an added value to me :-)

[grevejp44]

@Neurodisco77 then again i feel like if they released this by itself only the hardcore fans would really have appreciated it.

[Bp323]

@MartySGHU700 no kidding! This is great, really really nice. I'm glad to finally hear it, I always loved the little snippet at the end of "Cry, Baby, Cry"

[thesinner922]

thats sooo groovy man shouldve been on the record

[ItsThijsbitch]

You happy here honey?

[MrRyanSams]

this is unreal

[ItsThijsbitch]

@MrRyanSams what's unreal?

[MrRyanSams]

@ItsThijsbitch it means that it's really good - unreal, like unbelievable, not unreal, like not rral.

[ItsThijsbitch]

@MrRyanSams haha I misunderstood :)

[R3ALDUBB3DD3R3K]

I wish the song had started from the point on which was put on the White Album and continued from there

[pervysage35]

even when they were just shitting around the studio, they were awesome

[PETERWASHERE100]

Singing about Yoko

[BeansCoolDude]

@PETERWASHERE100 do you know the beatles anyone knows that is not john lennon's voice that's paul mccartney's voice why would he be singing about yoko ono?

[beyondalohas]

great... man high voice waws great

[xavistarkey]

pero alguna parte de esta cancion

si sale en una otra del albom blanco no? O:

[RandomlyFunnygirl]

7 people have never been back

[rockyrigby]

Paul has such a sweet, sensual voice.

[TeamMastaPr2]

It's George singing, right?

[stayonmytoes]

@TeamMastaPr2 No, Paul McCartney

[TeamMastaPr2]

@stayonmytoes It didn't sound so different from him...

[MrWebon]

@TeamMastaPr2 Paul :)

[TeamMastaPr2]

@MrWebon You're right, but he sounded almost like George.

[bradleypartyof3]

everybody has a place where they want to be-I think thats what this song is about

[QuiteHotBros]

1:25 to the end was in cry baby cry

[MisterEvasion]

For the longest time, before I knew anything about the entangled history of the White Album, I always assumed this was concocted by the Beatles as an intentional connective ditty - part of Cry Baby Cry. As with most aspects you might guess about in the White Album, this is not the case. It's just one of the many deformities of fact of this much storied album a casual listener might conclude. The disjointed coherence of the album has long since been valued as a plus. Group strain? What strain?

[coliter]

There's a part of it in the ending of "cry baby cry". I find it a bit disturbing and beautiful at the same time.

[jkrezny]

i know exsactly what you mean the beatles are so disturbing in a beutiful way...like revolution 9

[Canyoutakemeback1]

This song is so simple..but so complex at the same time. Can you take me back?

[AmandiMasen]

I love this song, it has so many meanings. and he probably didnt even have a meaning in mind when he wrote it.

[CriticalListener]

I always found the original little snippet of this like someone who'd just died requesting an escort to heaven

[rich8ch]

This is as equally creepy as the piece it precedes!

[newyorkphil]

What a wonderful Voice he has!!

[marinascopm]

the sweetest voice belongs to Paul...

[jackart011]

This makes me want to be 10 years old again when there was no troubles or worries and my biggest concern was what was for dinner

[oorgah]

@jackart011 He sounds pretty worried to me......

[hiwo91]

@jackart011 haha pretty sure thats everyones wish 

[6911angie]

He might have written it for Jane Asher before he met (or married) Linda

[AllenOption8]

@6911angie Or Francie Schwartz - check HER YouTube out

[weegeeluv3r]

5 people can't take him back

[Terminatoor7]

Paul is not asking to 5 people

[MARANZAMENCHOV]

Paul the only genius

[nerro23]

@MrsPaulMcCharmly I couldnt have thought of a better description. Its such a weird feeling I get when I listen to this, like I've been hearing it all my life.

[john1968326]

@nerro23 I am very, very scared and feeling very, very eerie right now because of that...

In a good and bad way. I am now scared like a murderer is stalking me or a ghost..

Great song though........

[seanki98]

@nerro23

that is probably why I love this song

:)

[MrsPaulMcCharmly]

There's something familiarly haunting about this song

[MrsPaulMcCharmly]

This deserves to be more than the ending to Cry Baby Cry

[carlosIP1992]

@bobyoung53 Its at the end of 'Cry Baby Cry'' :)



[basebatter94]

@carlosIP1992 yea its form the end of Cry Baby Cry. and that is a great spot for it to be. bc nobody knows where it even comes from lol



[BEARARMZ]

the chord for the original version is FM7

[barrydegooijer]

eeeee4eeeeeee

bbbbb4bbbbbbb

gggggmgggggg

dd3dddddddd2d3d

aaaaaaaa3aaaaaa

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee



[barrydegooijer]

For anyone who is interested in playing this on the guitar: (m= mute with the middle finge

[BEARARMZ]

@barrydegooijer ?>??

[kieranwnorman]

this disticnkly sounds like i will

[The3Magnos]

@kieranwnorman i will sessions

[ledZeppelin7680]

@bobyoung53 I don't know for sure, but it's my guess that, like many other white album songs, someone close to the group liked it. for example, paul was experimenting with different instruments in the studio, the recording of which would turn out to be Wild Honey Pie, it was never going to be a serious song, but george's wife patty really liked it, so it ended up on the album. another reason could be the fact that paul had a hard time letting go of his throwaways, like maxwell's silver hammer

[ledZeppelin7680]

I think I prefer the fraction that was on the album better than the whole song.

[chatesb111]

God, who needs drugs.

[Milzililili99]

Think this post outro or ending (whatever) is better than all songs of Justin Bieber

[icanwaitanotherday]

I never heard that before but boy that was cute!

[tgbeatlefan]

anyone with me say yes

[tgbeatlefan]

i cant believe the people who think the Beatles are from america! they didn't even come to america till they had a number ONE here!

[tgbeatlefan]

i cant believe all the people why think the Beatles are from america! these people don't have brains!

[fweefwee91]

this on the end of "cry baby cry "exept with no "i will" noises

[spicygaga]

love this so much 2 peop have no taste

[smallhershey]

It should be illegal too put a dislike button on a Beatles song.

[marccastle111]

@smallhershey Agreed.  It should never be allowed to express dislike for the grand masters of music.

[monsieurlemarquis]

@smallhershey thats soooo true!!!!!!!!!!!!

[georgee895]

@smallhershey Absolutely! There's simply nothing to dislike.

[lceb91]

does anyone know where i can get this bootleg collection?

[AhmBlueDabadee]

They cut this over revolution .9 over this?

[FabFM]

@AhmBlueDabadee Paul McCartney didn't want Revolution 9 on the white album (neither did George Martin) but he allowed it after Lennon's insistence.

[eltimo12]

Why are The Beatles covered in an American flag?

[daregularperson]

@eltimo12 They are one of the best bands from America. Here in Texas we are very proud of John Lennon, because he was born in Amarillo!

[eltimo12]

@daregularperson He was born in Liverpool..

[daregularperson]

@eltimo12 Oh, you are absolutely right. What state is Liverpool in again, is it Indiana? I think I got it mixed up because Paul is Hispanic and his favorite color is yellow.

[eltimo12]

@daregularperson No I think you got it mixed up because you are a moron?

[AyashaYumi]

@daregularperson

Come again? Liverpool is in England, Paul is of Irish descent, and is his favorite color yellow? Thank goodness it isn't blue.

[daregularperson]

@AyashaYumi I think you are now more confused than I was pretending to be.

[Cheeseychum]

@daregularperson

Are you being sarcastic? Hahah, if not--- The Beatles are from Liverpool...in the North of England.. in the UK...in Europe.. NOT america..and they are the best British band of all time? :|

[daregularperson]

@Cheeseychum Yeah, I was just having a bit of a laugh. :-P

[residentevlidead]

@eltimo12 Nope, that's a Japanese flag, there definitely Japanese

[kimjenkins123]

@residentevlidead your retarded

[bourgie20]

really cool. woulda been sweet on the album

[StuUngar]

Lotta ppl seem to be hating on Cry Baby Cry. Personally, I love that song and I love how the song segues into Can You Take Me Back.

Also on the LOVE album, it's used at the end of one of the songs....Come Together I think. It's mixed with the symphonic part of Eleanor Rigby. It's fucking awesome!!!!

[sjdrifter72]

@StuUngar Hey, count me in as one who also loves Cry Baby Cry and Can You Take Me Back. It is my favorite track on the White Album. These two songs always give me spooky images of ghosts, haunted Victorian era houses, and graveyards. creepy huh?

[TheBeatleManiac4Life]

@happyface4444 same here xD

[happyface4444]

I love this song, it was the main reason why i listened to cry baby cry.

[missthebeatles]

OMG !!! this song is so perfect !!! how can they put on the end o cry cry baby cry ? well it's easy ... the last is always the better :)

[Tendoking]

IF more songs show up for that Beatles game, I hope this is one of them.

[residentevlidead]

I love Paul but John steals the show on this song, "Are you happy here, honey'. astounding

[lastofmykind8]

@residentevlidead i agree it kinda ruins the melody.

[Bawdyknocker]

@residentevlidead apparently he hated his voice, so anytime he sang his little quips like that, you always know it's him... i concur... those little JOHN-INPUTS are everywhere in their recordings... interesting? yes. cool? sometimes. good? not necessarily....

[dtsmz2]

I herd this in the beginning of the i tunes trailer of "all together now" and it took me sooooo long to find it, this song deserves WAY WAY more!!

[thebarrens]

that percussion is way distracting, no?

[TheFpuff]

@thebarrens Not really.

[LovePeaceLennon22]

@corogno paul is not dead dont bring this up. i really wish i could listen to one beatles song without seeing in the comments that somebody wrote a clue to PID

[inkey2]

@LovePeaceLennon22 i know.....these losers that insist paul is dead. It's usually young people who got into the beatles, found an article on the "Paul is dead hoax" and think they are the only one that knows about this....like they are telling people something new and exciting. They only make themselves look like total fools

[THEBOBANDTEDSHOW1]

2 people could not take him back

[corogno]

when played backwards i heard ive been giving it paul live forever at the end possibly a clue of paul being dead.

[batmylash]

Sound a tad like Mr herbert from family guy

but i have to admit i think i have replayed this song for the 16th time now

one of my favourite songs by them

<3

[residentevlidead]

@batmylash Sounds like Bob Dylan

this song rocks

[jilleoi]

@batmylash haha you made me laugh dude!

[TheFpuff]

@batmylash HOLY SHET

[zelgraymon]

Brilliant...How can they end a song?...how about...WITH ANOTHER SONG!!

[MrRobmull]

Theres something spooky about this!!

[MrCobraKing98]

0:36 '' Are you happy here, honey?'' lol typical john

[chard6788]

2 people arent happy where they are, and need to get back to where they came from

[TheRhythmxNation]

Loved that they put this in the Love Album. Great transition <3

[residentevlidead]

I think it's rare when a paul part upstages a john song, and that's what happened in cry baby cry

[midwestmonster666]

"Are you happy here honey?"

[Rockon101000]

Wait where can I get this. Is this a studio outtake because I'm a huge Beatles fan and would love to add this to my collection.

[sjdrifter72]

I got the mp3 for this. This comes from The Beatles White Album Deluxe Edition 12 disc set by Purple Chick which I purchased years ago. This was made an edit skillfully made out of two versions; one for The Beatles At Abbey Road Presentation and one from the Turn Me On, Dead Man :The John Barrett Tapes, compiled in 1982. If you listen very carefully at 1:08, you can hear where the two sources are spliced together. I like to play this 'almost full' version between Cry Baby Cry and Revolution 9

[RockinMetalGuy]

It's on the album "Love" too, after Come Together.

[sybernut]

one before number 9

[Palakanis]

have to use my brother's account to make some things clear.

"Are you happy here my honey?"

"I AIN'T happy, here my honey, cant you take me back..?"

Ive always thought this was Paul wishing for the simpler times, i.e. before the fame/fortune. lots of people say this song is paul talking about LSD. He was famous for saying to the crew, before experimenting with the drug "Once we do this, theres no way back home" and stressed the importance on how LSD would change EVERYTHING in their world.

[johnlennon616]

MP3!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!??­????????????

[Terminatoor7]

i like this song

[MrsPastranaBeatle]

i take you back paulie dont worry

[ldth]

@AnthonyEffects play 5/3 4/2 4/3 ;)

[ferny296]

porq dice eso john "Are you happy here honey?"

[FunkySalt]

2 honeys aren't happy here.

[Perryfan001]

This deserved more than to be part of cry baby cry. It should be a song at least as a hidden track like her majesty. I mean wat's the difference, it has few words, but I want you she's so heavy was as well. It should have been at least a b-side single to some song of theirs.

[FabFM]

@Perryfan001 It's a nice song and techically is not part of cry baby cry, it's a hidden uncredited track that follows cry baby cry.

[PMNO1]

in the very beginning at 0:02, you can hear someone in the background say 'please take me, please.....' and i cant tell what they're saying. What is it?

[beatles6080]

mixture of "los paronias", "i will", "revolution 9", and of course "cry baby cry!"

[michaelsmorrison]

Come On

Can you take me back

I didn't understand

I really thought I heard you

Come on lets try it again

M.S. Morrison

[sparkytrick]

I think this was about the Beatles leaving india because of their girls not wanting to stay.

[67thewalrus]

was this used in someway in revolution 9? cause i instantly heard "number nine" jumping between my speakers here, and someone else mentioned that too.

[danesesrocky76]

I think Paul looking at that troll Yoko In the studio was driving him crazy! he wanted to be taken back to earlier Beatle days.

[xXloverchic17Xx]

what's with the bubbles in the back?? how cute is this!! i love this.

[gmeitzler]

@xXloverchic17Xx Can U take me back?



[xXloverchic17Xx]

@gmeitzler haha what?

[pockemonrock11]

howd you find this

[TheBeatlesPkmnFaan42]

1:26 - 1:58 : what's on the white album

[TheBeatlesPkmnFaan42]

love the white album (:

[keyblok]

that could have turned out in a very White Album classic music...

[IndyJ10]

I like the love ablbum version! This is cool too, thanks for posting.

[beatles6080]

this song scares me and i dont know why..

....maybe because i sceamed wen i heard it as a child

[M400fan]

@beatles6080 And because it leads into Revolution 9, which is SERIOUSLY nightmarish!

[ehrensenffan]

Every time I'm listening to it I've got immediately "numbernine-numbernine" (done in a spooky voice) on my mind...

[stalkek]

Genius how they spotted this as tacking suitably onto end of CryBabyCry

[AVmak96]

Have you heard of the guy that doesn't like sushi? Really, he doesn't like sushi! What an idiot!

[ScanDeez]

I remember I saw The White Stripes in Stockholm...Jack White did a little bit of this..It was amazing haha

[Tsarevna303]

This is spooky!

[LonelyHeartsClubMan]

This song deserved to be so much more then the ending of Cry Baby Cry

[FetaCheese222]

@LonelyHeartsClubMan Uh, no it didn't.

[cranie4]

@LonelyHeartsClubMan But in all honesty probably came THIS close to ending up on the cutting room floor and never heard at all.

[mtrj99]

@LonelyHeartsClubMan it should be a song of its own that would be awesome

[sth613]

this was my favorite bit of cry baby cry.

[beanmistaked]

I love this song, it makes me have butterflies that is how amazing it is

[frazypeeps]

I love this outtake. the piece of it that went at the end of Cry Baby Cry made that great song just a bit better :)

[rockerr12595]

this is the era McCartney was at his most genius I think

[brandaddy0]

@rockerr12595

listen to the mccartney ll album.

[martipin12]

i want a tab

[thebeatlesroll]

@martipin12 i've been looking all over.. they never include them with cry baby cry...

[ChemicalClash]

Incredibile.
