Again, very interesting observations from you. To me, it's not at all controversial that you like this album more than Revolver, which is a great landmark album. If Revolver was a significant departure from what they were doing before, this album is even further departure, continuing on that path. They do love their E Major, don't they.

"She's Leaving Home" is brilliant indeed, musically and lyrically. It is one my top favourites from this album, too. There is so much in that song. There's the story of the specific family, of course, but also a reflection of changes occurring in England: post-war food rationing had ended in 1954, the country had come out of the shadow of WWII and there was a generational shift.

"Within You Without You" is another favourite, perhaps underrated. I like the double, or possibly triple, meaning that I get (not sure if intended by George) from 'Life goes on ... without you' -- i.e. 'outside of you' as well as 'even if you did not exist' as well as, possibly, suggesting life having direction, flowing into you and out of you.

"A Day in the Life": Although I like all the songs on the album, this is another favourite. John Lennon has noted this one as a favourite for him. You might know this, but it was constructed from 2 songs, one from John and one from Paul, Paul's contribution being the middle part. Regarding the thunderous sound, Wikipedia has this: "Martin said that Lennon requested "a tremendous build-up, from nothing up to something absolutely like the end of the world", while McCartney realised this idea by drawing inspiration from Cage and Stockhausen."

Other notes:
1. "With a Little Help From My Friends" has a great bridge, the song is fun to sing (and play). Regarding Ringo's last note (from Rolling Stone magazine): "It took a lot of coaxing from Paul to get me to sing that last note," Starr admitted in a 1992 episode of . "I just felt it was very high. I always worry about the vocals. I’m insecure when I do the vocals."
2. "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds": Weren't there shifts in time as well as key?
3. "Getting Better": It's sad that the singer behaved that way in the past, but at least he seems to have already changed for the better.
4. "Fixing a Hole": Yes, great vocals but I particularly like that descending bit in the solo before the last "And it really doesn't matter ...". It's brilliant; the guitar seems to be a little off the beat. They often had what I call points of musical interest.
5. "Lovely Rita": The kazoo-like sound was done with comb and tissue paper, although the principle might the same, using a vibrating membrane, although the materials might differ.
6. "Sgt. Pepper's ... (Reprise)": You might have been wrong about what it was going to sound like (harder sound than you thought) but you made some good guesses on other ones. I think you initially guessed 'daughter' for "She's Leaving Home".

Thanks again for these and I am looking forward to the rest.

As you're heading into The Beatles' final albums, I recommend you listen to Let It Be before Abbey Road, despite Abbey Road coming out first. They recorded 95% of Let It Be before Abbey Road, and they meant for Abbey Road to be their Goodbye album. Many Beatles fans agree that Abbey Road is their true final album, and me and many others recommend you listen to that one last.

John Byrnes

@Crisp Water the songs though oddly released after the White Album were heard on the film Yellow Submarine mid 68 ! 🤡

Gary Odom

Yes. Listen to Let it Be before Abbey Road.

@Peter Dunbar bruh that's just plain rude. I'm just saying it's cool how their final song is called The End.

I’ve always agreed that Abbey Road is their last album together. The album literally ends with “The End” like it was intentional; and then follows up with a little playful Easter egg ukulele tune to keep it light hearted.

I remember vividly going to a party the day after Sgt Pepper was released and discovering that the album had been bought by one of the part-goers. Once the initial dancing had tailed off, the album was played. And repeated time and again. We could not properly get our heads round what we were hearing. Music changed that night.

When this album.came out I was overseas off Vietnam nam and didn't get back until August almost the first thing I did was buy Sgt Pepper we played over and over again trying to analyze it and then with headphones that it really opened up. I first heard. A Day in the life on the car radio in early 67 and didn't believe it I hope the version you are listening to is in stereo it makes a big difference

What The Beatles produced in under a decade and how they advanced popular music in that relatively short space of time is truly phenomenal.
They are, and are likely to remain, the most important band in the history of the genre.

Minty Badger Productions

@Red Squirrel I'm not entirely sure what you're alluding to by technical, but they wouldn't even make top 100? I guess if you're including every niche band under the sun who never even had a hit than yeah, but other than that they were "objectively" damn good songwriters who wrote dynamic compositions certainly on the upper end of pop song writing and also pushed the realms of audio engineering.

Minty Badger Productions

@itkojecockot You're showing a lot of ignorance, firstly The Beatles were easily one of the most innovative bands in music history: from popularising the band format, popularising artists writing their own music, revitalising guitar rock/pop after a massive lull in the early 60's, pushing the sonic palette of pop music with instruments and studio experimentation (ask any audio engineer and they'll tell you how much they did for recording techniques), with Dylan and The Beach Boys they also helped create the modern album format. Also regarding selling out stadiums, they were the first band to ever tour stadiums. Also if you can judge music "objectively" than The Beatles were "objectively" better song writers than Floyd. Even She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand from a music theory stand point are more dynamic and complex than a lot of Floyd's music which makes sense since Floyd songs tended to emerge from jams.

John Byrnes

@Michael Gentiluomo actually Michael they performed and/or composed well over 320 songs ! 🤡

Tris Outlaw

@itkojecockot who's a better band?

JustineLaLoba

@itkojecockot there will always be people like you who think there were better bands than the Beatles but the bottom line is most by far think they are and that's what will go down in history.....you'll just have to deal with it

People who sleep on “Within You Without You” should have their ears revoked, this songs slaps and many have been many people’s introduction to classical Indian music. The duet between the “Western” (cellos, violins, etc.) instruments and Indian (sitars, dilrubas, etc.) instruments is sublime.
“When I’m 64” makes me a little sad since half the band didn’t reach that age, am I the only one who thinks that?

Are we all in agreement that since this is a chronological listen she needs to listen to Let It Be before Abbey Road? It was released afterwords, but recorded before. Plus Abbey Road makes for a better ending anyway.

That someone is able to convey such a musically and emotionally complex song like “She’s Leaving Home” is, in and of itself, a great feat of humankind. That a 24-year-old did that is just mind blowing.

Scott Andrew Brass

The tune was written when he was 16. The words came later in 1966.

and "When I'm Sixty Four" was written by Paul when he was 14. Crazy.

When the album came out, it was released on vinyl...there were no CDs. There was a groove in the vinyl so that when that final note in A Day In The Life was played, it would play infinitely, as long as you kept the turntable on. It would play that note forever.

Minty Badger Productions

@Reno dean moriarty Firstly, I do know what I'm talking about, I have a record player and when it reaches the end of the record it stops. Now perhaps some don't stop, but even then the final note wouldn't keep playing, it would just be the sound of the needle going round the record. Secondly as I pointed out, the last chord of A Day in the Life isn't even the end of the record anyway, the dog whistle is. Lastly, are you okay? Chill.

Reno dean moriarty

@Minty Badger Productions WHEN THE RECORD ENDS, THE RECORD IS CLOSED AND SOUNDS INFINITE UNTIL THE TURNTABLE IS TURNED OFF. WHY ARE YOU TALKING IF YOU DON'T KNOW???? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEE WHAT YOUR LADY IS DOING!!! ???

jorge rodríguez patiño

@Minty Badger Productions Indeed.

Minty Badger Productions

I'm not sure that's true, vinyl doesn't work like that especially as the final chord isn't the last thing you hear on the album anyway. The only way I can Imagine that would work is it if it stuck on loop, but then it's not a clean "infinite" loop, but a jarring repeat.

Rhythm sections are so crucial to the overall quality of a band....crazily this is the first time I really just thought about McCartney and Starr as a rhythm section...just crazy how freaking awesome this band was..there are no words...Ringo and Paul really shine on this album. .the bass and drums are just so tastefully played on pepper

Nordveg, you are Spot on. I am by No means a Pro Drummer, but solely a "hobbyist" drummer which I resurrected after 50 years in 1969 playing and Learning with HS Buddies in a Garage band. Back then, there was criticism of Ringo because he was often held into the spotlight with Baker, Moon, Copeland, Gaad, Danelli (Rascals), even Charlie Watts but before Neil Peart (no one can touch him). But now, after you listen, really listen to Ringo's Drumming, there is a new found appreciation for his abilities and it's applicability to their tunes. He like Watts, never really did Drum Solos which Big in that time. No matter, he construed excellent dimensions and beats that so highly acclaimed NOW. Watch Sina on Drums , a wonderful young lady form Austria on her own YT Channel, as she breaks down what Ringo did in many of the songs. He was much innovated than people realized then.

@Roman Kalyniuk I agree. Ringo's strength was that he perfectly judged what each song needed. He didn't overplay or muddy up the mix with unnecessary fills and crash cymbal hits, just to show off. No, he put just the right amount of fills and rhythm elements to each song that made the mix come out the best. The perfect drummer for the Beatles sound!

Roman Kalyniuk

2y↑6

Absolutely! He doesn't get enough credit for his drumming because so many people focus on the speed and technique of guys like Buddy Rich. Ringo doesn't play that way. His forte seems to be perfect timing for the tune he's playing, and a kind of lyricism that you don't think applies to the drums.

caroline, once again, another lovely review. i am currently an 18 year old musician that has never known a time where i didn't have every beatles song memorized front to back. they were my absolute favorites as a small boy that knew nothing about music and they're still my favorites today. since i was 7 i have spent a lot of time learning how to play many different instruments and how to produce my own music. i'm slowly getting to a point in my time as a composer/instrumentalist where i've been able to pick out the different instruments/key changes and how they affect the songs as a whole. i find that i can listen to the beatles over and over and enjoy them endlessly because of how creative they were for their time and in general. every time i hear a little bass riff or vocal harmony or mixing choice that i've heard 10000 times before, i still get excited about it just due to how well everything works and how clever everything is put together. watching you react to these songs i know so extremely well, and pull them apart in a similar way to how i've been doing so in my head recently is MASSIVELY entertaining and it is so refreshing to know that there are people out there that admire their creativity in an extremely similar way as i do!! thank you so much for making these videos, caroline! they make me feel like i'm hearing them for the first time again, even though i'm anticipating every little riff i know you'll comment on and chuckling every single time i know you're getting a prediction wrong (or right!)

i have a suggestion. after you get through the beatles discography, if you haven't heard them yet you should take a listen to the Beach Boys. mainly Pet Sounds, but it would be good to catch a few of their albums beforehand to experience their evolution. the arrangements and harmonies of the Beach Boys' music are much more symphonic and intricate in nature and i know you'd have a blast with them. people always held the Beach Boys up with the Beatles and i never gave them any thought until last year- but Pet Sounds finally clicked with me and i definitely think it's right up there along with this album.

sorry for the gigantic comment caroline but something about your open-minded reactions and your thoughtful analysis just really connects with me from a composer and human standpoint and i really wanted to give you my kudos.

i wonder what you'll make of the White Album!

Mr Nobody

Another Album that is bundled with Pet Sounds and Revolver is the Odessey and Oracle Album by The Zombies. Recorded in Abbey Road Studios 2 weeks after the Beatles finished Sergeant Pepper, features John Lennons Meletron which was left behind in the studio. Definitely worth purchasing.

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was based on a drawing by John's young son Julian about a girlfriend in school. It was NOT about drugs; John was writing like that as a kid.

Glen Ponse

"She's Leaving Home" is arguably the definitive "generation gap" anthem. This was when 'youth culture' was firing up - many young people wanting independence, possible in the booming economies, split from their parents, who had fought their way out of the shambles after WWII and had no idea why their children were so negative. The kids, for their part, often realised what was driving the mutual misunderstanding, but couldn't convey their feelings effectively (the note she'd hoped would say more). The girl in this story knows she's hurting her parents, but can't handle the restrictions, and leaves in both hope and sadness. The parents are just devastated.

@Jim Wit Knowing them it might've been an inside joke or reference to something Brian maybe said

@Jim Wit baby you’re a rich man was a mix of John and Paul’s lyrics. The verses “one of the beautiful people” etc were John’s, the chorus: baby you’re a rich man, keeping the money in a big brown bag etc was Paul’s bit.

Jim Wit

@Richard Harris I agree they should have thought a little more about "fun" as a lyric. Actually you can buy fun. Can't buy me love though! Also in Baby You're a Rich Man" I thought John was a bit lazy with "keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo" A zoo? Under the bed would have been better..or just about anything else but zoo sounds a bit too random. Otherwise their lyrics are pretty good in general! Ha Ha

@Glen Ponse yes I always heard "man from the motor trade" as a bit sarcastic or tongue in cheek. Even back then, running off with a guy who sold cars was Not A Done Thing.

Glen Ponse

2y↑2

@Richard Harris I know what you mean, but I always took that to imply the girl's inarticulateness (the note she hoped would say more, again), rather than Paul getting lyrically lazy. There's something of a satirical edge there. "Fun" is a childish term, and I think that he was getting that there was a certain immature aspect to that sixties party-party aesthetic, which we still see playing out today. For a similar reason, that hope that hooking up with the "man from the motor trade" was going to make all the difference seems to strike a note of unease to me. There was a reason the older generation regarded chasing happiness as a bit problematic.

@Ippie If Ringo was a super technical drummer who could play like todays pros then it just wouldn't sound great. He always played the song and served the song through his intuition. Less is just as much more and sparse notes speak just as much as putting in as much as possible like Keith Moon for instance. Everybody was just so perfect in the Beatles. The dye was set and they all worked so very hard in those 7 yrs. They ended at the right time despite McCartney saying they still had so much more to give beyond 1970.
No Band in history did so much and innovate so well as The Beatles did. I wish there would be a new bunch come through and create at this level but I believe it will never happen because it's more than 50 yrs later and a plethora of bands have come and gone with nothing ever coming close so far tells me it really never will happen again sadly.

Kent Theaker

2y↑3

Absolutely agree. I think it probably earns comparisons to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. The orchestral 'rush' is the mystery (as mentioned), the horror, and the beauty of life...which is wedded to death. Even in our entertainments, death is always on the threshold. Back in 1980, after Lennon's 'funeral', where Ono had requested 5 minutes of international silence...they then played this song on the radio. I think as a celebration of John's most majestic moment in the Beatles, but also to reflect the song's point: that every life lived and lost has profound meaning and should be celebrated/appreciated. We should celebrate everything we see. Whether it's a film or the 4,000 holes...or a life taken far too early.

Lennon's lyrics become more poetic around this time. He's less interested in telling a story than using words and music to create a mood. Paul is getting better at telling stories like, "She's Leaving Home." And George is now expressing his spirituality in his music. It all expands the kinds of sonic adventures you'll find on a Beatles album

"Putting your face on" means putting your makeup on. "Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by a door, who is it for" means she's always fully made up when she goes out but never gets to speak to anyone. She goes to a lot of effort in case she meets someone, which is really sad.

I just caught this! As a fellow musician I REALLY enjoyed your analysis and your vibe as well, couldn't help but laugh along as well! This album was considered their masterpiece but after a few decades some people placed it behind Revolver/Abbey Road/Rubber Soul because those recordings "aged well" over time and an appreciation was gained whereas some say it is dated. All a matter of taste really. However, it is good to hear a musician's fresh take on this to remember why it was hailed by most as a definitive work by musicologists. Well done, well done indeed!

@allen swanson The line that always got me was 'how could she do this to me?'
From the Mothers POV this was about her hurt feelings, not concern for the daughters whereabouts or welfare. It always touched me as being cold and distant, not emotionally available. Which leads to the Daughters feeling of loneliness. Genius insight and songwriting.

I have subsequently read that this was something that Aunt Mimi would say to a young John.

This album is a "visual" album. With the exception of perhaps It's Getting Better and A Little Help..", each number connotes imagery. You can see Mummy and Daddy on the stairs, the circus of Mr. Kite's show, Rita and sisters on the sofa, digging the weeds, making the bus in seconds flat, painting a room in a Peter Max way and, of course, a boat on a river and girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

BTW Caroline, the final sustained chord is 3 grand pianos and a harmonium. John, Paul, Ringo and George Martin.

Revolver is a collection of great songs, but Sergeant Peppers is a collection of great songs united under the arc of a fascinating old timey show. I think the arc adds an extra something to the album that Revolver lacks. I look forward to your review of Abbey Road, which has another dynamic in play.

The loose concept behind the album of not being "The Beatles" but this Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band (uniforms included) allowed them to free themselves and have more fun as you noticed it. Plus by now they had zero interference from their record label and could do pretty much what they wanted. I can't imagine any other band in that time to be allowed to make such an intricate masterpiece as A Day In The Life

With a band like The Beatles, having historical and cultural context only makes these already great sounding songs even better. You then start to realise that they're not just fun songs, they're iconic, groundbreaking, genre-defining, culture shifts neatly packaged into a brilliant album

I always thought She's Leaving Home was such a corny, emotionally overblown schmaltzy story ...until my daughter left home.
The story behind this is amazing - Paul McC read a story in the paper about a girl who ran away and was found a couple of weeks later. Unbeknown to Paul, the girl was the same girl that he had met and given a prize to, when he judged a talent quest on television, about 4 or 5 years before. He had no idea it was the same girl until someone pointed it out to him a few years later. The girl was pretty chuffed that Paul had written a song about her ...

Caroline: "Is it controversial to say that I am enjoying this more than Revolver? NO, not at all. Many feel that Sgt. Pepper is the greatest album of all time. I agree.

Peter King

is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967, it spent 27 weeks at number one in the United Kingdom and 15 weeks at number one in the United States. It was lauded by critics for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture. Its release was a defining moment in 1960s pop culture, heralding the Summer of Love, while the album's reception achieved full cultural legitimisation for pop music and recognition for the medium as a genuine art form.

Penfold 74

One of my favorite albums ever. I remember when I first heard it: It was in 1979, when I was 5 years old, and my parents had bought an 8-track cartridge release of it. I just remember my two older brothers and myself would continually play it over and over. I also remember that the song lineup changed on it to accommodate the tape length within the cartridge. But, yeah, it got to the point where I could play the album and not have to start up a record player or tape deck to do so.

Sgt. Pepper's was one of the few rock albums my parent's owned. As a very young child, the cacophony in A Day in the Life terrified me, and I would not be in the same room as the record player. Now I think it's brilliant, but it's still unsettling.

Sgt. Pepper is easily the most important and most influential record ever released — and thus the greatest album of all time. Yes, there are other collections of songs on other albums that might be equally good, or even better, but nothing has ever equaled the powerful impact of this one. It's impossible to overstate how huge an influence Sgt. Pepper had, not only in the world of music, but in the world of fashion, art, and on popular culture in general. No one who lived through that time was quite the same afterwards.

John Marshall

I´m sure you know that Jimi Hendrix heard the album when it was released on a Friday. When Paul went to a club two days later, Sunday, Jimi had already learned the opening track and played it live that night.

Highly recommended reading: "Here, There and Everywhere. My life recording the music of the Beatles" by Geoff Emerick. Geoff was their recording engineer for 3 or 4 years. He describes how they did many songs. If you want to know how many of the songs were done and a lot about the interaction of the group, this is a fantastic book.

It was interesting that you emphasize the joining of the strings with the sitar in Within You Without You. I have a theory that the construction of this song is like a conversation between East and West about the problems of humanity. I don't know, but it seems to make so much sense! Halfway through I can see clearly as if the instruments are talking to each other, like a conversation, and George even quotes a Bible verse at the same time which deals with ideals of Eastern religions. Such a genius!

Until sometime in the Nineties, I think, it seemed that everyone in the world rated Sgt. Pepper as the greatest album ever made. Since then there’s been a backlash and it’s become fashionable to downplay Sgt. Pepper and say Revolver or Rubber Soul was the best. But they’re all great albums and Pepper remains an amazing work of art.

Pepper’s and always have.

As many will no doubt have pointed out, the more negative lyrics of "Getting Better" were written by John Lennon with the more positive lyrics having been written by Paul (who was the principal write of this song.) John and Paul had different ways of looking at life. During their solo careers John and Paul would sometimes write lyrics intended as a message to the other. In John's final album, "Double Fantasy", there is a song that he wrote for his son Sean titled "Beautiful Boy". A line in that song says "Every day in every way it's getting better and better." Paul believes that this was a message to him from John saying that Paul's way of viewing life was after all the better way and that he was passing along that point of view to Sean. Sean has said that he treasures every moment he has with Paul as that is the closest he can ever feel to being with his father.

John I think was aware of his own hypocrisy in promoting "peace and love" when he had been given to violent tendencies at various times (notably to Cynthia and Stu). He was taking the opportunity here for a little bit of guilt-cleansing, under the anonymity of a Paul song. I would say .. fair enough. He knew he had things to atone for and he wanted to do better.

well.... something quite amazing happened to me while listening the Pepper with you here, i RE discovered the album after 45 years and experienced it in a whole new light and life !!! It is NOW perhaps my FAVORITE Beatles album especially in terms of genius whereas before Revolver did it for me. Actually revolver probably has more that transition feel from rock and roll to classical that i always described as thier BLUE period BUT.... the more i listen to pepper ( old and new remixed version) the more i realize the genius behind the album. FYI: this album started out as a concept album about growing up in Liverpool with the frist two songs FOR the intitial album - penny lane and strawberry feilds forever. Thanks for giving me back that first listen feel Coroline of Pepper. Man, its literally been 47 years since i bought it new ( new for me anyway back in aka 1976) and i have a new apreciation for it. That is the beauty fo the lads i think that every album has its own genius of sorts. We cant forget the producer george martin WAS the 5th beatle whom i truly beleive helped craft and shape each and every song and without could not have occured. Hats off to him.... ps. just wait till you hear the next couple album after Mystery Tour .... they do again an obout face in terms of musical direction and well..... definatlly a kick in the pants for sure. Thank you as always for your bight and cheery review almost through the eyes of a small child but with one hell of a musical degree. Us older folks who are sometimes jaded and worn NEED this to remind us just how beautiful life can be through new eyes. cheers luv

Caroline, It's such a joy watching your reactions to music many of us have loved for decades.
Sgt. Pepper was considered the Beatles greatest achievement for many, many years.
I think only in the recent past has Revolver been elevated above it and more recently Abbey Road. However, I think your reaction to Sgt. Pepper is more in line with how it was received upon it's release. It was (at the time) the most mind blowing album ever. Everybody either had it or borrowed it and played it for days on end. I especially enjoyed your reactions to "A Day in the Life" which many rate as the all-time best Beatles track... and also "Within You, Without You" which was largely ignored but has grown in stature over the years. Love your channel!

Les Gebhardt

Another awesome reaction vid! I have to say, this was the first Beatles album I ever listened to when I was about 5 or 6 years old. It was around 1970 when the Beatles were on the verge of their break up. Of course, I didn't know anything about that. But, I have to say, listening to this as a somewhat precocious 6 year old really struck a deep chord with me that sticks to this day. It is by far my favorite album of theirs. Revolver is probably #2 and Abbey Road is fighting with Revolver for that second spot. With all of that said, I have to go back and state that I love your reactions, your breakdowns of the music and your thoughts about the lyrics and everything. And, I find it incredibly charming that you give us predictions about the songs still, even knowing how you keep getting it "wrong". Please never stop making the predictions. I did love how you changed it up a little this time and that was a nice surprise as well. Thank you once again for making these and sharing your journey thru their catalog with us.

@Guitar Monkey I think Paul has said Fixing a Hole is about his relationship with the Beatles fandom. It seems to be a song about taking time for himself and doing things he wants to do and experimenting freely without worrying about what the public will think: "And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right." And letting his creative mind wonder "where it will go."

That weird stuff after the end of Day in the Life was in the runout groove of the original record, so it repeated forever, until you picked up the pick-up arm. I remember it started with a very high pitched whistle that I could hear in 1967, but not now. At the time I thought the rest of it was just some studio chat and was supposed to sound like the crowd leaving at the end of the show when Sargeant Pepper's band had left the stage. Other people have come up with all kinds of interpretations both to the version on the album and the same thing played backwards.

I think you are beginning to see why the Beatles changed the face of rock music and so many groups of the day tried to follow their lead. Don't forget this was in the middle to later sixties. We hadn't made it to the moon yet which seems to be the dividing line of the past and the future. They were on and will continue to be on the cutting edge. BTW, love your reactions and emotions. You hit it on the head "You are a first time listener!" We've been listening for decades, know the songs and stories that go into them.

Ears Only Audio

Love your reactions. Fun story about the strings in A Day in the Life. Where you noticed the extreme tention in the strings, what happened is George Martin told the orchestra that they had 24 bars to go from the lowest note on their instruments to the highest, but they were not to do it in any organized manner. You just had to start the lowest note on beat 1 of bar 1 and reach the highest by beat 4 of bar 24 and each member of the 45 piece orchestra had to climb at a different pace. So cool to have even thought of it. One of those things where as cool as the finished product sounds, the idea to even try it is the most impressive thing of all.

"She's Leaving Home" has some of the best lyrics Paul ever wrote, in my opinion. It reads like a brilliant short story. It shows you a situation from two perspectives and makes you understand and sympathize with them both.

jippyhound

@psy-kylo-gy Where did I say Paul's talent diminished? And by the way, Ram was 1971. Even if his powers have diminished (which I never said they did), they certainly didn't diminish between June 1969 and Dec 1970.

jippyhound

@John Byrnes Here There and Everywhere is a great lyric in its simplicity and circular wholeness. You are right there! But I think the rest are, as I said, best appreciated as sonic enhancements. That isn't a slight on Paul. I love Paul. He's the best songwriter in the world. But he's not interested in lyrics for lyrics sake. Usually, they are vague - or even bland - as a message, but fit the music perfectly. "Hey Jude/Don't make it bad/Take a sad song/And make it better" That threads the needle, lands in the rhythmic pocket and serves the song well, but it ain't exactly "Sam Stone" or "Boots of Spanish Leather." He's not capable of that. John is. George has interesting, thoughtful lyrics most of the time. Pau's thing is writing the greatest melodies in the world. Nothing to be ashamed of.

John Byrnes

@jippyhound ~~POO ! :~~ I can think of circa 26 ! Here's a few extras - For No One , The Long And Winding Road , Here There And Everywhere , Goodbye , Let It Be , The Fool On The Hill , I've Just Seen A Face , A World Without Love , And I Love Her , Yesterday , Paperback Writer , Blackbird , Woman , We Can Work It Out , Martha My Dear , I'm Looking Through You , Abbey Road's medley and Hey Jude just off the top of my head!

SeattleSteve

@Bob Eley well the first and last answer comes directly from McCartney himself ("Silly Love Songs"), so his words should be enough. But I don't even agree with the premise of your question. His post-Beatles songs included: "Another Day", "Junior's Farm", and "Band on the Run", all of which as good or better than many of his Beatles songs. There are others... those were the first that came to mind.

It is such a pleasure watching you immersed in the music. I am a bit older than you (but still too young to listen to the Beatles when they were still a group in the '60s), and I've listened to the Beatles for about 40 years or more, so I forget how awesome it was to hear them for the first time.

Here's a bit of a fun fact-in the early 1980s, I acquired the collection of Doctor Dolittle novels, and I read Doctor Dolittle's Circus, and Doctor Dolittle's Caravan for the first time around the time I heard this album for the first time. So, "Being For the Benefit of Mr Kite" with its old-timey circus flavour always makes me think of those two books (which also have a traveling circus/caravan theme)

Oh, her trying to figure out the lyrics of 'I Am the Walrus' will be so much fun

@OzTwanger Why thanks for the compliment Oz. But I'm really not THAT great. lol

But seriously, what work of genius were you referring to exactly ?

OzTwanger

@Graham Taylor Absolute work of genius

@Simon Marcotte Sorry, meant no offence.

@rmar67 I was not suggesting skipping ahead but refering to Glass Onion. But thanks for mansplaning the chronological order of every release between MMT and the White Album...so useful 🙄

I'm watching an English girl for the first time, listen and review one of the greatest albums of all time created by her own countrymen. And I'm loving every bit of it! Your take on "She's Leaving Home" is perfect. The best song on this album. Never take it for granted because it only get's better with age. More so if you ever marry and have children.

Sgt Pepper has long been considered by many to be the greatest album of all time, in any genre, there's nothing wrong with you preferring it to Revolver. Although I do prefer Revolver for the songwriting, Sgt Pepper is definitely the greater technical masterpiece.

Sgt. Pepper was at #1 in "Greatest Albums Ever" lists through the 20th century, but Revolver seems to have overtaken it in the recent critical acclaim assessments. I personally prefer Revolver as well, but there's nothing wrong with putting this at the apex.

(Might be some recency bias, though.)

The Beatles spoke to a lot of the spectrum of the music language, transcending a few genres...

In my view, one album isn't really going to be better than another since each have their own period and theme — it would be like comparing apples to oranges. Revolver is like a go-to Beatles vinyl, with the visual of the record revolving on the player; and Sgt Pepper's is more of a perfected thematic album that ends with the less palatable A Day in the Life, reflecting some of the chaos of the news in the '60s, with a character who "blew his mind out" on drugs in his car while his foot is on the brake not noticing the light had changed.

Each album can suit a different mood.

This is often said to be their best album, and the best album of all time, so thinking it's better than Revolver is not very controversial! Either album is debatable, and we may never truly know!

itkojecockot

not really debatable...... "Revolver" is amazing, but "Sgt. Pepper" is a different level completely....... production, arrangements, crossover of genres, lyrics...... it's a no-brainer

It's not controversial to like Peppers more than Revolver.. I think that every beatles fan change their opinion on what is the best album at least 3 times in life

Bubdiddly

Literally that’s like the most common popularly favorite album

What I love about "When I'm Sixty-Four" is that when Paul wrote it he was 24 or 25, and those forty years must have seemed so far away. He probably didn't think he'd still be rocking by then... or even now as he is almost 80!

Sharon Raizor

I think he wrote that song when he was 14-15, but your point is valid.

It's so enjoyable to see your first reactions to this music, that is so special to me. I've just performed a one man concert of Sgt. Peppers (the video will be out on my channel in the next few weeks) and I'm so in love with how this album was made. In reference to something you said, about the infamous lyric in 'Getting Better' of 'I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved/man I was mean but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can' - I shared your feeling at first, and felt incredibly uncomfortable singing it publicly. However since it's come to be one of my favourite lyrics maybe ever, and I'd like to share why. To me, it feels like the 60's were a turning point in the world of society Getting Better as a whole - From civil rights, to feminism, to so universal healthcare, to social welfare, the Beatles were both a mirror and a catalyst to the western world breaking out of our suits and learning how to love. People forget how cruel, unequal and oppressive Britain had been up until that point, but somehow four working class men becoming the cultural spokesmen for the 20th Century, and re-writing forever the way music works and them singing this lyric to the world at the peak of their powers makes me believe the world can get better now, in these dark, messed up, unequal times. If people can really change, there's a lot of hope for the world :)
