When i was 13 years old i got my first Beatles Album ,Sgt.Pepper, as a birthday gift. It was in 1981. And i thought "uuuh,what do i do with this old fashioned music?" So i putted it onto my record player and from that second i went to a different word. This album opened my eyes...
I first heard A Day In The Life on a compilation CD my old school teacher gave me which he had made. It was extremely wrong of him to do so by school terms as it was illegal but as I played it for the first time, alphabetical order played its part and I was left in awe at the song. I was 13 at the time, 7 years on and I'm still growing with The Beatles. I simply cannot imagine my life without them.
The Beatles story & music should be taught in school as a mandatory subject like Maths & English.
How horrifically and tragically sad is it that Mariah Carey has beaten The Beatles for the most number ones? Tragic. Truly. She's not a bad artist. She's a good one, really. But honestly, she does not even BEGIN to measure up to what The Beatles were. Are. They are legendary. Trendsetting. I can't even put into words what they were and are. They were the soundtrack for an entire generation.
i can t see anything special with the noise produced to cover those 24 bars to link the 2 songs, what is all about ? somebody explain it to me please, cos if you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody with all the changes it s got, then this one got to be the worse attempt to link 2 songs ever.
and you have the worse attempt at punctuation. This isn't Queen, and the sound they wanted was unique to this song. It's dramatic and it fits and swells as they wanted it to before the song dropped again. I personally think it's brilliant. Like a deep breath before a plunge.
does anybody else see John as two different people? like one version of John Lennon is the silly, fun-loving, early beatles type. and the second kind of Sgt. Peppers on to the "Imagine" days?
Yeah, the way this has been ripped i think the audio has been restricted to mono accidently, isolating that excelent bass line to be heard by most us, for the first time. What a pleasure!!!
the middle part of "a day in a life" composed by paul is totally irrelevant and not fitting in with the rest of the song. why should paul's ego impose on john's song. john never imposed anything on paul's songs
Here we go with the "I hate Paul and Lennon is 1000 times better" nonsense. Actually, I think it fits perfectly. Just like Lennon and McCartney fitted perfectly together as songwriters. They helped eachother out on all songs. Paul didn't impose it, it was an idea that just worked.
It was John who had the idea to add backing vocals that say "can't get much worse" in Getting Better. next time, recheck your facts before opening your mouth.
well it has a little bit of relevance, i'd love to turn you on followed by an ''orgasm'' makes sense right? also revolution nine, ''number nine, number nine, number nine'' backwards = turn me on deadman, turn me on dead man, turn me on deadman''
I think IwillKillYourCereal is correct in saying that the line "I'd love to turn you on", has nothing to do with the song. Revolution number nine was on the White Album, and therefore they did this song beforehand, showing that the two aren't connected. I think it was another one of John's throw-away lyrics, and also a way to push the boundaries in the music world with such a brash statement.
he only claimed that his songs were nonsense so he wouldn't be harassed by the press about it. like lucy in the sky, you can't tell me you believe that song is about juliens child hood friend? its about a fucking acid trip and you can't prove otherwise
.. I don't think you read that properly, at all. I never said that his songs weren't about drugs. I simply said, he incorporated a throw-away lyric in 'A Day in the Life', and that your reasoning for it not being such made no sense, because this song came before your alleged defense. Also, you cannot prove that it IS about an acid-trip. So, chill, man.
All of their strange songs were not related. Only a few. 'I Am the Walrus' was related to 'Glass Onion', thus disproving the fact that Paul wasn't dead to anyone who suspected so, because "The Walrus was Paul" - a lyric from 'Glass Onion'. I don't even know if you could call it a phase - some people still believe it to be true.
True. And anyone who calls the Beatles overrated knows nothing. This band changed music forever and they did it while making the msot diverse, entertaining and downright fun music anyone has ever made.
I think the only reason people may say The Beatles were overrated was because there is controversy as to how much George Martin contributed to The Beatles crazy sounds and ideas.
There's a long list of "fifth" beatles. Billy Preston was yeah, on their roof top performance (he played the keys). But George is definately THE fifth Beatle.
Mainly a John song, Paul? In his biography, Paul said that he co-wrote the other verses with John, at least the one with Tara Bron and holes in Blackburn.
If its a biography he didn't write it. It has to be an autobiography.
Also, he did co-write it but it was initially JOHNS idea and the majority of the song IS his. I'm not going to retype everything the clip just said. It's pretty self explanitory.
Cuando tenía quince años conseguí The Beatles Anthology 2, y la canción que más me gustó fue A Day In The Life. Esa versión es limpia, dulce, llena de mucha melancolía, justo lo que yo vivía en esa época. Yo no conocía bien a este grupo que llaman The Beatles... Esta canción no es mi Beatle No. 1, pero está dentro de las 5 mejores.
