The Beatles - Because

[Ostrovskii]

just think that try to find a meaning is pointless. We cant really get if it means to be sad or good, it hits people in diferent ways...its music. And as life, the music can be sad and beutiful, good and desperate.

[hecapesa]

I think the music is depressing. Furthermore it was built from the inverted chords of the Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata wich is a really sad music. Nevertheless this version enchances the sadness because only the voices are played, no instruments. Even the end is kinda misterious, maybe apocaplyptical.

The only "happy" side of the version is when we have a change of the melody wich begins with "Love is all love is you".

[noahharald]

This is the opening to Black Hawk Down set to the music. It's a nice juxtaposition you did, but it was directed by Ridley Scott.

[zawzaw17]

You had a verry good idea when you mixted those two contexte youmade a contraste verry intresting and afectinfg keep going danielsickness

[111RUSSELL111]

this ones from love the old one is from abbey road

[noamben2]

"Revolver?" it was Abbey Road!

[Cbarso]

@Church333

The pairing of this video with this song is supposed to remind the viewer to beware of naive exoticism. While it is true that the world is full of wonderful diversities many people in western culture tend to ignore the problems going on in these places if they are not exploiting the cultures.

[mdelair420]

what a fucking trip

[tiemedown]

this is song about connection

[church333]

I don't like the video with the song. The song makes me happy, the video is depressing. Everytime I hear this song I think "life is good" ...because the world is round it turns me on...because the world is round...because the wing is high..it blows my mind...the lyrics explain why life is so good. That's the way I picture it. "Love it old love is new"

[atlchopper2008]

@church333 sorry but THIS is the real world. rarley ever happy....

[Anndgrim]

@church333

Don't you get the irony in the song?

Because the wind is high, because the sky is blue, because the world is round: does that make the world good?

Can we be contemplative because the sky is blue?

Can we be careless because the wind is high?

This is the meaning of this song.

That what

[sxephlI]

@church333 theres a minimise button on ur browser

[edlespaul]

Aren't we all..selfish monsters of our own existence?...

Or maybe just an apathetic and dummy creatures on this Earth?

Go figure...

[lumbiaknight87]

can't wait to sing thisagain with my group back home...we did sunking followed by

mean mustard..etc and ending with "and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you gave"..feel young again..that was 1972..modesty aside,we won the band competition mainly due to the sunking number...it takes a lot of practice due to voice blending and the lenght of the song(composed of sunking, mean mustard, polythene pam and she came inthrough the bathroom window)it will be a challenge to do it again.

[LosIlluminados]

i love the vocal version better than band version. so peaceful

[ChickenPissInTheRoad]

this song is from Abbey Road, not Revolver

[bernie1111]

yeah totally, haha. i saw that and thought maybe it was some kinda cover badn name or something, but its just a terrible terrible mistake.

[snaustin88]

thank you so much. i thought i was losing my mind!

[OnkelPeters]

Actually, this version is from the Love album. This is a remake or remix of the original.

I think this is a masterpiece.

[GrEEnEyEdGiRL94]

wow beautiful use of "because" one word needed to describe wow

[BeatlesLuv67]

that was so eerie.

and the song just really added to it.

[Nigelist]

Это моя самая любимая песня у Битлз!!!

[pendejops]

wow amazing track and great trip for our minds

[robster71]

This song is from Abbey Road, indeed the last song recorded for that album. It was recorded in August 1969, three years after Revolver.

[ankoku37]

This song is on Abbey Road, not Revolver. Look on the backs of both albums and is says on Abbey Road that it's track 8, but it doesn't say anything about it on Revolver.

[Smashly2869]

HEY, YOU RULE

[KanadiaVon]

That's sad. o _o

[xxRedrumx]

This Version Of The Song Is On "Love"

[floydledqueen3]

this song isn't from REVOLVER it's from Abbey Road - I have those albums and I know

[halferuga]

You're right

[3dancers]

"Because" wasn't on Revolver!

It's on "Sgt. Pepper."

How could you forget that?

[Sabitre]

Actually, it was on Abbey Road.

[3dancers]

You're right! How could I forget that?

[mainecolbs]

No it was on revolver, Trust me I own most of the Sgt peppers albums, Records, cd's ect

[OnkelPeters]

What has Sgt. Pepper to do with this?

This song was originally on Abbey Road, and THIS version is a remix, and can be found on the Love album.

[mainecolbs]

because 3dancers said that "Because" was on the Sgt Peppers album

[crazygauds]

i just have to say why the dead ppl no need for that

[0m1n0us]

death is part of life

[crazygauds]

i guess but still i mean well its african stuff and that its war we dont need war

[crazygauds]

this song is so different from the other stuff they did but it is so cool

[bernie1111]

my version finally has more views than this one :D

[Stevefriend13]

?'''

[mccbcc]

Because the world is round it turns me on.

[shitslit]

best song ever made, i think. this video is very hard to watch, but it fits the song very well in a disturbing way

[Stevefriend13]

happens every day....even in my poor country :(

[willashland]

yeah, this is the love version or from anthology 3.

and this song wasn't on revolver, it was on abbey road.

[Danguskincaid]

The beatles have been truly inspiring in my life, I hope you can check out my rendition of this great song on my youtube site!

[Rubyfiregirl]

aw, crap. its the love version of because...

[alomas3]

holy s***...that video really shocked me...great song and vid 5*

[InDiEMuFfInS]

Amazing

[Sunnynh]

I love this hum

[ashlieweddell]

amazing

[MikeNee123]

i like this version better than the album version

[TaniaG96]

great song its just that the video is kind of creepy.

[partylord20]

i love the video and the song

[mikethewerewolf]

my dad introduced me to this beautiful song. awesome!:)

[stoopidryan8]

excellent use of a great song, regardless of what album it appeared on. this remains one of my all time favorite videos on youtube.

[tiff1516]

what do you mean? is there diffrent versions/ there is no music in the background of this version. one person wrote that is it the love version.

~tiff~

[djkgjkn]

Surreal...

[Gugolpl0x]

Completely, awesomely perfect. This is by far the most... Well, it's an emotion close to nostalgia.

Nostalgia's punch-drunk depressed cousin.

[bce5150]

this is fucking crazy

[akg96]

NOT crazy. Seems that way if one projects one own craziness, etc. It´s artistic license, contrast, counter-point adding power to the song & to the artist/writer(s) involved. It´s exactly like in the "Apocalyse Now" movie with the song "What a Beautiful Life (it could be)" while all "hell" is breaking loose, killing & bombing Vietnanese civilians. Shockingly effective! B in the world not of it;don´t identify with one´s body; get honest/authent own your experience. Jimmy Hendricks:R U experienced?

[kamalalalala]

you chat too much

[Iain1962]

Just one thing, Because is on Abbey Road not Revolver.

[Gugolpl0x]

Maybe not this version.

[windcriesmary99]

Yeah the original version that appears on Abbey Road contains guitar, bass, and electric harpsicord.

[sgtpppr66]

The only version other than the one on Abbey Road must be on Anthology, but I can promise you that Revovler doesn't have Because on it.

[godswhip0288]

This is actually the new Love album version.

[SiSonEnsemble]

I'd like to know a little more about the culture that is described through these scenes. Where is that happening? I see the red cross flag on the truck. Is that a funerary ritual?

[FmlyGy123]

this song is the most erotic song ever to me its gorgeous

[hollowxlies]

I completely agree.

[mclainrose]

Yah this is the love version

[paragon249]

Ok Beatles fans. Part of this song was also used by an unsigned rap artist "NiQ" in the 50 Cent/YouTube On The Rise Rap contest. The track is called "Blow My Mind", something similar to this song is heard during the chorus. Check it out on my channel(Click on my name in blue above), let me know what you think with a Rating and Comment. Thanks.

[DionisiaDP]

The birds ARE in the "Love" version. (I have an excellent system where you can hear it). It comes from that soundtrack. At the end of this you can hear where it's going to lead up to THE CHORD from "Hard Day's Night...that's how it was recorded for the soundtrack.

Very good vid!

[koolgiy]

I believe this is the 'Love' version.

[elvis11992]

Anthology 3. It's A Capella. The instrumentation was removed, leaving the nine vocals: three live, and another six overdubbed. In this video, the vocals are a little delayed in some spots for a dramatic effect.

[koolgiy]

No this is the Love version.

They spaced it out for the first track.

Unless this was done by the artist.

The spacing sounds shorter then the Love version so im probably wrong on that.

[elvis11992]

Never mind. This is definately the Love version. I listened to it and it is also spaced out.

[koolgiy]

Wait I think you were right the first time.

I dont hear the birds that are in the Love version. That and the spacing is shorter.

[elvis11992]

True. There were sound effects in the Love version that are not in this.

[murilocneves]

Dramatically beautiful... You put so much sensitiveness in it!
