George once said "You only need to do acid once", and the interviewer said, "You've only done it once?" and George said..."No, I've done it a lot, but you only NEED to do it once."

This is one of the reasons why they are the greatest most influential band of all time.

Wow! What a song to randomly pick from the Beatles. This was their lead guitar player George Harrison’s song. He had been heavily influenced by Indian music and learned the sitar. He played it on a few earlier Beatles songs. It is very different than anything the Beatles did and it shows how open they were to new sounds. This is why their songs were very diverse and what makes them the most influential band in music.

These boys created their own genre as they went...nothing like them.

Yes 55 years ago! The Beatles were doing some of the heaviest music ever written. Nobody can touch them the best then and still the best Ever!

You: What genre? Beatles: Yes.

The genre is Raga from India, Those instruments mainly are from India - sitar, tabla. swarmandal, and dilruba which were accomapnied by a orcehstral string section.

Magnificent ‼️ #1 Band ...ever 🎵🎵🎵

Beatles did it all! Every kind of rhythm❤

Wow deep cut. Great job! This is just George and a bunch of Indian musician friends. He has another track like this called The Inner Light which was a B side single. Indian music is wild. Ravi Shankar is the GOAT of the Sitar and George’s mentor and friend. They did an album of prayers together called Chants of India.

Excellent random pick... One we skipped when I was 10 years old... Now I see it as one of their best works... Only George Harrison and Indian musicians are on this song, except for George Martin's string arrangements. This is truly an example of why the Beatles are being listened to 60 years later and it is as fresh as the 60s... Watching this was very cool for me, thanks

Opened my mind to many different realities,Ty George

I call it "world music"...combining influences from around the world. George Harrison also had one on Revolver called Love You To...the birth of word music...the Beatles have a few more of these....also Tomorrow Never Knows.

East Indian master musician Ravi Shankar was a great influence on their music at this point in the Beatle's career.

Sitars and tabla drums. Ravi Shankar worked with George to teach him to play the sitar and to play Indian Classical music.

The Greatest of All Beatles.

I used to work at a factory where a) the COO was a big Beatles fan, and b) a lot of the floor workers were from India. So the PA system had a lot of Beatles music, a lot of Indian music, and every once in a while, a two-for-one like this: the Beatles replicating Indian music.

By George Harrison, "The Spiritual One".

Genre is "George Harrison" - the first musician to play slide guitar in a scale that wasn't blues.

Great reaction to this song. It's hard to classify most Beatles songs, because each one is unique. Eclectic is a good way to describe their music: lots of different genres and influences. If you want something heavy by them, listen to Helter Skelter or I Want You (She's So Heavy). Something quiet and thoughtful: Across the Universe or Blackbird. Psychedelic: Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever. 1920's jazz? When I'm Sixty-Four.... Etc., etc.

Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I Want You (She's So Heavy), and this one are my favorites

3:15 Good Old Classic Rock with a fusion of Ancient Indian Classical Raaga

This was 1967 the summer of love led by this album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Check out the album cover, it's the most iconic in history. This Lp is regarded as the greatest in history although many, me included would say that their previous Lp, Revolver is the greatest of all time. Revolver and Abbey Road are the other two most iconic Lol covers in history. The Beatles were flying high on LSD when they recorded Pepper. This Lp changed pop culture forever and even how we listened to music. George Harrison was only 24 when he wrote this song. He was getting deeply into eastern philosophies at this time. The song and all instruments are Indian. The lyrics are great, very deep and spiritual. Check out The Beatles brother cause you have no idea what you've missed and then tell your friends.

Oh to be 16 again. The Beatles have a huge catalogue and they have so many different styles. Sergeant Pepper is arguably the greatest album ever

From "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" to this in less time than elapses between Olympic Games...the mind will never cease to boggle. This dropped in the year that I was born, I've been a fan since the age of 13, and my appreciation for this track only grows with time --check out "Love You To": also George (via India), and from the year before...

This is fire ☄️🔥... by the brilliant 🪲🪲🪲🪲Beatles I love this band they were fantastic!! 😂❤❤

Genre: "George." "Thoughtful." "Needs to have lyrics in front of him, but playing the whole album is The Only Way To Go." Give yourself the experience that Beatles fans gave themselves... you're worth it. When you start listening to their albums, you'll discover these treasures littered on them - songs no one mentions, but their fans enjoy. On the Revolver album, there's LOVE YOU TO, and later on, a B-side of a single came George's THE INNER LIGHT. They all are worthy of having lyrics alongside.

Very cool…never in a million years would I have expected a reaction to this song…from any channel.

The Beatles...The Best !

Another cool reaction man. Your heart is definitely in the right place. Thanks.

Thanks for your reaction!

Best Beatle! GH

Thanks for reacting to the Beatles' song. Please do more !! Why not cover their whole repertoire? It gives a good feeling seeing you, and many young people, discovering their music, and experiencing the sounds that influenced the ears and minds of a previous generation.

You're reaction is everything. Literally me hearing this for the first time at 15. Yeah the Beatles make music just like that.

They created genre's son.

The Beatles are one of if not the most experimental mainstream artists in history, they started out as a pop group but as they got older and started doing more drugs especially LSD they’re sound evolved and changed from album to album. Some other psychedelic songs like this one to listen next are Tomorrow Never Knows, I Am The Walrus, A Day In The Life, Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds, Blue Jay Way

Hi what I like about your reaction video is you listen to the track without stopping it to talk, this track often surprises people because it so different, however the BEATLES were never just one style and that's it...

'Love You To' from Revolver sounds like this song

This is one of George Harrison's Beatles songs. The primary song writers and singers were John Lennon and Paul McCartney, but all four contributed. What a first Beatles song to start with... in you and without you, dude! LOL! What a journey you're beginning! As you'll see there are NO two Beatles songs alike. They released over 200 songs in their 10 span as Beatles, and you've only scratched the surface! The main instrument you hear is the sitar, one George learned to play from his good friend Ravi Shankar. George (and the Beatles) first introduced this instrument into rock 'n roll for the first time with the song "Norwegian Wood" off the Rubber Soul album (1965), and used it from time to time as on this song you did here. I suggest you do Norwegian Wood soon as it's a little more early Beatles song than Within You, and is very different, as usual! Another cool song off of the Sgt Pepper's concept album you should do soon is John Lennon singing out "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". Once you've started down the Beatles trail commenters will pelt you with song suggestions... and do them all when you can! ✌️😎

Indian raga written for sitar and tabla (drum)

George Martin said the first song Harrison brought to him for this album was pretty ordinary and said, “Is this really the best you can do? Why don’t you have another go.” Harrison brought back this song and Martin said, while it clearly wasn’t commercial, it was VERY interesting.

great reaction my dude! peace.

George Harrison put on an album called Wonderwall which is pretty much instrumental and involves these in the instruments and then it goes into western music back-and-forth and emerges them together it’s a beautiful album called Wonderwall

Isn’t that the best drum in the world? The tabla. Certainly my favourite. They must credit the player right? This genre is South Asian/Indian traditional music (which is GORGEOUS like this) with a little western pop blended in. I don’t know how big the city is that you live in but keep eyes and ears open for live performances which will blow your socks off: these musicians can fuse with almost any other genres ❤️ If you’re in NY follow Brooklyn Raga Massive 🤘🏽😎

My favorite song on the album.

Rockabilly, classic rock, bubblegum pop, mature ballads, British music hall tunes, classical, R&B, Indian raga-the Beatles did it all! They absorbed and reinvented all of the musical culture around them, changing it forever.

Yea, the Beatles took a little sidetrack to India and met with the Dali Lama to clear/realign their brains. Some of their best music. ♥ Then they broke up. lol

Im glad to see some reaction to a less famous song . Guitarist George got into Indian music thru RAVI SHANKAR . See the Monterey Festival film of 1967 ... Many different creative scenes exploded into cross - influences that year . Philosophy - sharing - weariness of endless wars .

You could study their music for a lifetime and only scratch the surface 🙏

Also check out A Day In The Life from Pepper and then Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, another great one.

The album that changed everything -- Sgt. Pepper's.

I listened to this first time round and bought the LP.... Its still as good now as when it pulled me in all those years ago.... Timeless

This album came during a time in their lives that they had achieved everything a band could have hoped for, yet they found that there was still an emptiness that money, security and world wide fame had not fulfilled! They looked at spiritual leaders and spirituality for meaning! They looked at Hinduism, Buddhism and other religions and along the way heard many great musical styles! This is my favorite Beatles song. Want another great song by a group who found great success, only to seek out a spiritual meaning and guiding light! Look no further than Supertramp - Babaji

Read the lyrics! This is George's song. It's Indian music; that's a sitar you hear.

The Beatles progressed and varied more than any other band in my opinion. My two all time best are Beatles for breakfast and Led Zeppelin for Dinner! If you listen to them in order you really understand how they developed and changed. You don't even know about Billy Preston aka the 5th Beatle - check rooftop concert, You'll be shocked

In my list of Top10 Beatles songs Within You Without You is clearly there. George Harrison did something great: he open world music to Western folks. Think, this was 1967.

Dude, dig it!

I got this album for Xmas when I was 17. 😄Glad you're appreciating it. This is after George got into the gurus. That's him singing.

George Harrison was only 24 when they made this. By the time the Beatles broke up, they were all still in their 20's.

When this album came out, even a goofy seventh grader could tell that it was the album that changed the world. It spawned a fusion of styles and instruments and freedoms and bands that came to be known as progressive, as it was, by light years, progressive. And this is perhaps there very best song. It speaks highly of your intuition that you would have picked the best, randomly. "Across the Universe" and "A Day in the Life" are strong contenders. Check out Dead Can Dance's cover of this song. They do no bad songs. None. And do some of the very best of all. "Sanvean" is pretty hard to beat, unless you are David Hykes.

the instruments are Sitar, Tambura, and Tabla.

It's the genre called the Beatles!

George got really into the India way of religion. The song contains India musicians, it's the sitar,and the rhythmic of the India type of drum

Any random song from the Beatles is worth listening to...think about listening to this in 1967....

It’s profound.

Pope, react to the last song on the other side, A Day In The Life…you’ll be glad you did!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is traditional Indian music genre with sitar and tabla.

I like the song and your video. Good job!

Keep doing "Super deluxe edition" stuff if you're reacting to the Beatles. Those are recent mixes intended for headphones.

This is certainly not a "typical" Beatles song, but what is typical for the Beatles ??? Something like this happens when you study transcendental meditation in an Indian ashram ;-)

ANOTHER OF THE BEATLES!!!

BeaTles recorded over 200 songs They had many different styles and sounds

Next recommended Beatles song: “Come Together”

Back in the day the genres were pop, underground rock, rock or just music and music is love✌🤘

What a great song to pick at random. The Beatles had an insane trajectory. They started out kind of like a boy band making music predominantly consumed by teenage girls (in truth by everyone) and gradually started getting more sophisticated. Eventually they stopped touring and started emphasizing innovations in production techniques. They have ridiculous stylistic range and the ratio of hits to misses is probably unsurpassed. They weren’t niche either, their songs tend to shoot for universal appeal.

This is 1969 Still amazing 😻 Sitar Tabla

The Beatles across their 7 year career (and 13 albums) explored many genres. If you randomly pick songs from their albums, you'll quickly find that every song sounds vastly different from others. As a Beatles nerd, I can - if you like - recommend songs based on what "kind" of music you wanna hear from them either in terms of genre or in terms of vibe or, as you are doing now, just keep on randomly picking songs. The only disadvantage with picking randomly is that you might miss out on hearing their best stuff, however, the majority of what the Beatles made is decent tbh. Up to you.

You must listen to more of their songs

You missed the laughter at the very end, very Beatlesque.

❤️🤘🇮🇹

They spent time in India and were transformed. Sgt. Pepper's is a very trippy record.

What a song to pick- could not be more atypical and unique to their catalog

Deep cut. Love it

This is where it all began.

See what random gets you? Love that you liked it immediately. Beatles went to India to learn meditation from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi along with other celebs. George hooked up with India’s premier sitar player, Ravi Shankar who taught him the stinged instrument. That percussion your hear are tablas I believe. Check out the Revolver album for other Indian influenced tracks.

New to the channel, cool reaction 😎

Thanks for listening to that. Try 'Tomorrow Never Knows' for a related psychedelic Beatles tune.

I’m pretty sure this would have been their biggest hit if they released it in Afghanistan

👍👍🙏🦋🌈🌞🌻💜 “I’m Looking Through You” from their album Rubber Soul is one of my favorites but I’d be here all day suggesting Beatles songs if I get started 😂

At random, you picked a good one!!

I don't believe in Hinduism, but i love this song

Classic

Technically this George with no Beatles aboard, just Indian musicians + him obviously.

India vibes!

The genre is "Ethno-Pop". There are half a dozen Beatles songs with this Indian influence, which, as I said, can be seen as a prototype for later "Ethno-pop". There are half a dozen Beatles songs with this Indian influence, which, as I said, can be seen as a prototype for later "ethno-pop". In the broadest sense, it's a George Harrison solo track, supported by session musicians. The other Beatles don't have much to do with this song, except, that they represent it as "The Beatles" of course.

look into classical Indian music, mind will be blown, it changes you

I grew up with the whole English invasion thing; there was pre and post psychedelic Beatles..look at the Ed Sullivan show vs Sgt Peppers I.e. I was mostly a Paul fan but I remember John once self proclaimed just before his assassination he became as big or bigger than Jesus Christ!

What genre is this? Back in the day, it might have been called "psychedelic" or a "raga" which is the framework for Indian classical music. Nowadays, it might be called "world music" or "ethno pop" or even still "raga". Beatle George Harrison became a convert to Hinduism after travelling to and studying in India. None of the other Beatles performed on this song, instead an Indian musical group and some cellists and violinists. The Beatles covered so many types of music, had so many musical "firsts", pioneered so many musical techniques in the studio and elevated pop music to an art form. Please do more Beatles.
