I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles

[123456TOMAS]

Writer: LENNON, JOHN WINSTON / MCCARTNEY, PAUL JAMES When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream) Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need (There's no need)

[IngloriousBear]

In soviet Russia, panda poops you

[Nickkiyable]

[HulloKat]

[rogeliocalderonmare1]

CANCION QUE PERTENECE AL LP " REVOLVER " UN ALBUM FUNDAMENTAL Y POR MUCHOS SUBVALUADO, ESCUCHALO Y A CONTINUACION EL "SGR PEPPER LONELY..." Y VERAS QUE PUEDEN SER CONSIDERADOS UNA SOLA OBRA...POR ALGO SON LOS MAS GRANDES DE TODA LA HISTORIA DEL ROCK & ROLL ( Y VAYA QUE EL R & R YA TIENE BASTANTE.

[alleonz]

Thank you, John,

For all what you've done.

RIP

[29Frizz]

Wish John is only sleeping RIP

[dontheedthecallup]

the world was robbed of a genius when mark chapman shot lennon

[sirwob]

@dontheedthecallup if I may so bold to make a comment, Paul and Yoko said he was just trying to make a name for himself and asked us lets not say his name. People ask me who assassinated John I say "I don't know, google it".....just a thought

[MrFannyfarts]

oh i love this! i didnt even know the beatles originally did it, only heard the suggs version

[saadileo88]

My alarm tone :)

[jsmcguireIII]

Paul was always having to wake up John for their writing sessions, which inspired this song.

"Running everywhere at such speed, until they find, there's no need."

[thejoj96]

How can such a masterpiece have only 205k views?

[shyguy76]

This is what I want played at my funeral. Beautiful!

[eddiomann]

[cinezoic]

[101Becka]

<3

[iamintensified]

I love this song. Revolver is the best Beatles album ever.

[beckslove33]

Why is there a panda at the beginning...?

[voivodvlad1]

That's how I feel most mornings! Seriously though...Beatles. Best ever. Period.

[adrockinbarrow]

this song reminds me of my fiancee! made me laugh so much the first time i heard it and thought of her! it's as if she's singing the song :D

[jshalander]

rap is killing rock

[JHULIOCFR1975]

NOBODY SINGS THIS SONG LIKE LENNON. GREAT. ENORMOUS, INCREDIBLE...

[XXconVic]

3 sleeping people.

[sordevaom]

He visto muchas fotos y videos The Beatles, pero debo adminitir que en este video he visto un par de foto inéditas para mi. Bien!!! El tema se escucha un poco lento, pero es un temazo.

[sdf227]

Is it only me or u get sleepy too?

[RuuubyIsabellaa]

@xXOneHotLennonXx bet ya he can tell he's just overflowing with sexual appeal :D

[Juupp]

Ringo !!!



[autisticblog]

I love the backwards guitar.

[necr086]

[Iclifeintechnicolor]

This should be playing in the background wherever I go. It's like my theme song to life.

[Munther887]

[MartinTaylorOlson]

[nerxtvu7]

[vinituky]

[TheArcticBeatle]

chilling backup vocals. really makes it amazing. yawn at 2:00 lol

best pshycedelic song ever written!

[I2yantheGreat]

this song was made for all the people in the world who suffer from depression.

[Miwof]

The guitar from 0:46 and the solo from 1:33 still excites me as it did, when heard first time ´66...

[gazzymodo]

@shacklebat : "Agadoo" makes me feel happy, but i hate it !

[shacklebat]

this song makes me feel depressed but i still love it

[gazzymodo]

John Would often write songs using a single note for much/part of the track. "Help", "I'm only sleeping", "Girl (middle 8), "We can work it out (middle 8)", "Strawberry Fields (Living is easy)' etc,

[harry112174]

leave me were iam...

[bitchasshoeism]

@theoneandonlydio93 its pink floyd, tbh

[theoneandonlydio93]

The Beatles are the greatest band/artist of all-time. Thumbs up if you agree.

[coreymitchelhoulden]

@theoneandonlydio93 Suck my nutsack.

[IgnoranceIsPower]

Please don`t go to work after lstening to this song!

[leadfeet31]

[Sufianslayer]

[gigy625]

Does this video make anyone else seasick?

[nleotta005]

[ExplosivePuddingCat]

Sometimes when my mom wakes me up too early in the morning I just moan

"I'm only sleeeeepinggg...!"

[TheThreecoolbr0thers]

Awsom

[2405efrapix]

i am really tired, the coments about numbers of dislike, but in this video must be prohibited, or disability the option of dislike.

[growrust]

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy...

I don't mind, I think they're crazy...

Running everywhere at such a speed...

Till they find, there's no need...

... best passage of lyrics of all the time...

[Nonazoona]

i think 1 person was sleeping when he/she watched this...

[CorvetteStingray75]

i could listn to this song for hours and wouldnt be bored((:

[KB19001]

@CorvetteStingray75 i listened to this when i couldn't fall asleep and its been stuck in my head all day and I have listen to it almost 2hours straight now, still no where near board of it. lol

[CorvetteStingray75]

@KB19001 ik right? XD in my opinion the BEST drug song lol

[vividDC]

The Beatles were prophets. Nature set them apart for a reason. It is so we do not just think they were just another great band, so we look closer and listen a little better. Go to TruthContest(dot)com and open The Present - read the section about The Beatles. Share this with every Beatles fan you know.

[SuperMateo420]

PAUL MACARTNEY IS REALLY DEAD!

title of movie.check it out.crazy.

[ZRN959]

aha, now the Bed-In makes a LITTLE bit more sense.

[laprincesalore]

I absolutely love this song - one of my top favourites! Thanks for posting.

[deathseek7]

Great notes to accompany the video, thanks a lot!

[CJamie95]

The one person who hit dislike is Pete Best.

[cinbrian28]

[chelle329]

Thanks so much for the description of the musical aspects of the song.  Incredible!

[jasminnie]

great job with the video

[LImiJA13]

John and George aren't dead. They are having a sleep over

[ASCUMM011]

@LImiJA13 AMEN!

[ITILII]

@LImiJA13 and Elvis is not dead - he just went home :)

[Renneskid]

@LImiJA13 no...i'm pretty sure they are dead.

[PunkDudeFtw]

@Renneskid Legends never die.

[kiwielmo]

There's just something about this song...

[sealevelattitude]

@kiwielmo It has what real beauty must have, an element of strangeness. It's probably my favorite Beatles song. I think it will be in repertoires 200 years from now, if only on the then-equivalent of YouTube, maybe teenage kids lip-synching to it, adorably.

[puppetshowjustice]

38 ...39 in 2 weeks

[niebells]

love this song so much

[DarkAngelGirl7]

awesome

[MrGoldstein5]

"running everywhere at such a speed, till they find there's no need"

he's talking about the irrelevance of the material world

[B1llab0ng3]

@MrGoldstein5 mr smarty-pants

[Makksor]

@MrGoldstein5 talking about my DICK*. I fucking LOVE gangsta rap.Riverside. Peace out

[Bombazor]

@Makksor lol what are you doing in this video if you love rap? go away, at least i don't go to rap vids.

[ceedouble74]

@Bombazor what the hell, I love rap (true hip-hop I should say) and I love this song. Revolver is one true masterpiece. Be open-minded when you talk about music, that's the only way to expand your horizons.

[HAVTTOONMAKER]

@MrGoldstein5 you know, John didn't like the people who tried to fin meaning of his songs... perhaps he means that running everywhere at such a speed is bad, you have to calm down and do the things at your own pace, or perhaps just something entirely different, the only thing he means is for him and us to enjoy the song.

[DieWalrossen]

@MrGoldstein5 how do you know this?

[peacemanken]

Awesome job putting these great pics together with one of my favs......Peace

[SonicThunderBYG]

This song, "Day Tripper", and "Paperback Writer" would have to be my favorite, but then again, it's like saying which masterpiece is the best masterpiece, and out of the three that are written above, "I'm Only Sleeping" is my favorite Beatles song, and to match that, Revolver is my favorite Beatles album.

[maryghump]

49



[WELLROSE1]

I'm learning this song on the GET-TAR. Over looked and great song

[WeskersLady]

How old is everyone. I am 28. I was just wondering because if it isn't all just teens that use YOUTUBE

[LuigiNegativeZone]

@WeskersLady I've just turned 17

[Coshka77]

@WeskersLady I am 16, and I lovee the Beatles!

[ineedtohaveausername]

@WeskersLady

i'm 18

but i don't think it's only teens that use youtube, my 50 year old teacher always goes on youtube during the lessons to let us hear some songs :-p

[Gasoline85]

@WeskersLady I'm 25.

[WeskersLady]

I feel like Iv'e just woke up pretty much all day long. So this is a great song for me.

[moxie96]

@WeskersLady probably the oldest at 32 (gets you thinking of that game show parody the beatles did in '67 Christmas don't it? or not, but it should be here right?)

John (at george as game show host): And how old are you?

George: I'm 32.

John: No! Get away!

[GUS4BEATLES]

this is like my them song

[DomW63]

When McCartney begins to harmonize with John's voice 1:14 to "by my window..." at 1:18 - just fucking brilliant

[wsw0105]

my theme song in the morning

[Gasoline85]

@wsw0105 Yeah, same here. :)

[SonicThunderBYG]

My favorite part of this song is the cosmic and psychedelic outro, which can be easily related to the outro in "Castles Made of Sand" by Jimi Hendrix on Axis. I'd like to interpret that bubbling outro as John finally falling asleep, disappearing from reality and tripping off into the electric sub-conscious. 

[thebeatles4ever11]

i love this song because i love sleeping!!! and dreaming!!! everyone wakes me up when i have a dream about them (Beatles) and so i start to spaz on them and well ya i love sleeping so here is a bit about me I'm 13 and my hobbies are 1-sleeping 2-eating and 3- LISTENING TO THE BEATLES but school has to interrupt that witch sucks

[rollingstonesgirl99]

@thebeatles4ever11 u are exactly like me haha :D

[oysterjoe]

Does anyone out there know where they are at 0:16? Looks familiar to my oyster eyes.

On a happy note----Chapman was denied parole again! There IS a God!

[donvernator]

my fave part is the "I think there CRAZY"  <33

[ggguzman]

this has always been one of my favorites and it shows what sort of talent was gathered in that band. great harmonies, great backing vocals, great solo, great lyrics, almost perfect i'd say :)

[hyllaf]

my fav beatles song - but is hardly mentioned by the pundits!!!!

[Rcws6]

I'm only sleepin..... With George Harrison!

[PauIsAlive]

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy oh ok, thanks =)

[Khultan]

I'm only sleeping but with queued up YT music....zzzzzzzzzz

[PauIsAlive]

i dont understand the part about the backwards guitar, Did George play it backwards, and then reverse it so it sounded like it was forwards, or did he play it backwards and leave it. And does that apply to the guitar part for the Whole song, or just the guitar solo that happens in the middle of the song? Can someone explain it more simply to me, cause i looked it up on Wikipedia as well, and i still didn't get it..

[TheMichaelseymour]

@PauIsAlive I assume you dont record ...anyway , sounds like he only did the middle bit {solo} and the end . You can learn a part backwards ...then when it is reversed it sounds kinda strangely correct . This sounds backward to me though cos it kinda sounds wrong { in a good way} Hope that clears it for you.

[renemill]

don´t worry,John...i won´t try to wake you up...sleep well,friend...I agree with you,I think they´re crazy......

[thisismyname316]

[Branzo29]

[stefance1]

And u just need a perfect timing for taking an eye part

[stefance1]

Please dont wake me part is going:G,Am,Bm



[stefance1]

I play this song a half step down

The Chords in verse,(INTRO):Em,Am,G,C,G,B7

Then Again but except B7 I play C for ,,Float upstream...,,

Then Chorus:Im only sleeping...Am,Cmaj7,(bass thing)Em

Then verse

And then the part:Keeping an eye...D7,E7(Just e with 3rd fret at B string)Am,Am7,F,Em,Am,G,C,G,B7

And that is that

[theinck]

Thank you thank you thank you. I just bought myself a Gibson Jumbo JS150 acoustic. This song is perfect for it in half a step down tuning. Heavy compression on their guitar.

[oldermusiclover]

dedicated to all the highschoolers getting out soon; especially my Neice.

This song has the wrong album cover, it wasn't on the us fersion of Revolver

[rondo92568]
