The Beatles were and will always be the best band that ever existed!

One of the greatest songs of all time.

The Beatles were probably one of the first if not the first ones to experiment like this. This music is way before their time

@seansersmylie Ай бұрын

It's highly original but Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Beach Boys and various composers were all at it. A lot of mind expanding substances were being used.

@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Ай бұрын

The Beatles openly admitted that SGT P. was their Freak Out album. In other words after hearing the album Freak Out by Frank Zappa, they The Beatles openly admitted that SGT P. was their attempt to make their own Freak Out album. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMh4gMqirdqlqWQ.html

@@seansersmylie Bob Dylan was not experimenting like this. He merely switch from acoustic to electric americana. Velvets have all said how Beatles did it before them, I've listed references elsewhere. Beach Boys experimentation was Brian Wilson on his own with The Wrecking Crew playing parts he spliced together - he and Beatles inspired each other but he says he was playing catch up till he cracked up. As for mind expanding substances, they pretty much all found it helped them get new ideas but they had to have clear heads to make the actual music otherwise it sounded rubbish

This was two songs unfinished that John and Paul put together to make one song.

Only the Beatles had the bravery and licence to release that back then

Certainly in the mainstream. Their massive success in previous years bought them the right to do pretty much whatever they wanted by the time of Pepper

Relatable, genuine, poetic, catchy, and not repetitive. Almost perfect

John had part of a song. Paul had part of a song. They put the two parts together. Each person sang the parts they wrote. Genius at work.

@autistickakarot Ай бұрын

It was kind of all a Lennon/Mccartney. Even John has said that after the first part, he showed it to paul, and they wrote the rest together.

I'm glad you enjoyed this, we all had about the same reaction to it first time we heard it. It's an amazing work of art.

@galandirofrivendell4740 Ай бұрын

The orchestral crescendo was Paul's idea. He had, I think, 24 measures to fill and asked the orchestra to start with their instrument's lowest note and end with the highest note. They could go as fast or slow as they wanted, but once they went up, they couldn't go down. It took a while for them to grasp what Paul wanted, but the result was stellar. It remains one of The Beatles' most popular songs, and for good reason.

I say this to all the people who hear this for the very first time: This track probably raises your IQ just having listened to it. It is almost cliche to say that this is unlike anything heard in popular music at the time, but this was the basic mode of this band. They introduced people to new things with every album. This is just one of them.

@ScottDeBerg Ай бұрын

And keep in mind, this came out in 1967. No one was doing anything even close to Sgt. Pepper back then, except for maybe The Beach Boys, with their classic album “Pet Sounds”. That’s why The Beatles were THE pioneers.

"Turn You On" in 1967 was very much about LSD, expanding your mind, etc. Definitely beyond the capacity of alcohol.

On a deadline, and still having nothing to bring to the studio for a new song, John just picked up his morning paper and started writing headlines and lines from the press into a good portion of song. Paul, writing little "bits and bobs" of songs sometimes had a piece laying around that fit nicely in the middle. Paul had George Martin bring in an orchestra and do the crescendos. The "low C" note at the end is 5 pianos overlapped being played by Paul, Ringo, Mal Evans, and John, with George Martin helping. They were able to stretch the length by overlapping that note.

This song was literally taken from the newspaper. The man who “blew his mind out in a car” was the traffic death of the young Guinness heir & the 4000 holes is about how the government counted all the holes in the road, Blackburn Leicestershire… know they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall ( famous venue in London)..

@davidjohnson00001 Ай бұрын

Blackburn in Lancashire not Leicestershire.

@EastPeakSlim Ай бұрын

Thanks for taking on this heavy hitter. The final chord: Lennon, McCartney, Starr and roadie Mal Evans shared three different pianos, with George Martin on a harmonium, and all played an E-major chord simultaneously. The chord was made to ring out for over forty seconds by increasing the recording sound level as the vibration faded out.

@SG-js2qn Ай бұрын

Apparently the phrase "blow your mind" was developed in the mid-60s. As you can see, Paul likes to do transitions in music, while John likes to do meaningful lyrics. That's a generality, but it holds. As a group, they enjoyed pushing the technology forward. So this is one of those songs where they're involved in production and pushing buttons. Unfortunately, you missed the true ending of the song. It doesn't end on the piano note. Not a huge deal, but you missed it.

For the orchestral rush, each classical musician was told to go from their lowest note to their highest. Going up in unison was not necessary but everyone had to end at the same time. The line, "I'd love to turn you on". got the song banned on the radio, even though John Lennon said he meant to turn you on to the TRUTH, not drugs. Although they helped.

@strathman7501 Ай бұрын

What John may have had in mind was his own affair, but, as John told us, this line was Paul's, and Paul has always said it was a drug reference. "He had that beautiful littler lick 'I'd love to turn you on" floating around in his head," said John, "so he stuck it in." Paul has said they looked at each other mischievously as they were doing this as if to say "You know what we're doing here, don't you?" So it was a conscious risk to use a deliberate drug reference - which did in fact get the song banned by the BBC.

One thing about the Beatles song-making is that every single one, from the relatively simple popular love ditties to the most profoundly philosophical investigations of reality, was a creative adventure, of sorts. And A Day In The Life was one of their bigger adventures, IMO. I like to think it juxtaposed the mundane events of the day - from reading the newspaper to getting up and going to school/work with a consciousness of its cosmic dimension - the primordial energy and presence of the Universe underpinning everything, usually just out of reach but occasionally glimpsed like a moving shadow in the corner of one's eye. Did I just see something? Did I feel something? Is there something too vast and consequential going on here for my little mind to fathom? The Beatles would love to turn us all on, if we want it. Still blowing youthful minds after 55 years...

@bobtausworthe Ай бұрын

There's still many things to love and comment on in this song but I'll stick with two. I just love the drumming in this song. Ringo phrased it beautifully. And the maracas. There was no other instrument to play so George played the maracas 🪇. And they are just right

Actually there was no loop but they kept turning up the gain on the microphones so you can hear the note. They say at the end you can hear the room's air circ (AC or just fans I forget) system but my ears have never been that good.

No. Drugs (excluding alcohol) had been big in Victorian England, Coca Cola originally had cocaine, 1950s had heroine and the beat writers, they'd all been doing uppers and downers to stay awake on long tours in buses between cities, canabis was rife before this and was behind Rubber Soul with LSD behind Revolver. Pepper didn't launch it, even as far as Beatles were concerned

How many "holes" does it take fill the Albert Hall? Don't bother with "top sixty lists, etc., they are made by people who have never heard of Bacharach or Jobim, or John Coltrane or Monk or Miles or Louis or Horace Silver or Grant Green.

@braudabo Ай бұрын

If he followed the Pitchfork list, one will find there among others Charles Mingus, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet, The Bembeya Jazz National, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto among the top 200. Some of the artists you mentioned have definitely been registered. Of course, such lists are always debatable, there's no such thing as "200 best songs" anyway and the 1960s were extremely dominated by the then new rock and pop phenomenon, that produced an unusually high number of highly talented artists. On the whole, such lists may provide a guide and be an amusement for discussions.
