Now you're into some great Beatles stuff...1967 was true a magical year for rock music.

That's not a pop song; it's a work of art.

These guys put out 13 albums, a bunch of non-album singles, five films, and had toured all over the world, in seven years. Not a one of them was even 30 years old for their last album together. They're the best selling act ever... On just seven years' worth of work. They're also more critically beloved than any act, and advanced the artistry of popular music more than anyone before or since. They defied genre and did basically whatever they wanted musically, and outsold everyone doing it - no one was ever more popular during their time. And they did it all, and I really cannot stress this enough, in *seven years* and all *under age 30*. It doesn't actually seem possible, and I would say it wasn't possible except that they actually did it.

I’ve been listening to the Beatles for 50 years and it still shocks me that Lennon was 26 and McCartney 25 when this album came out.

There is a lot to unpack in this song. Most of the lyrics came about from bits of news stories of the time. "He blew his mind out in a car" is Tara Browne, son of British Peer and heir to the Guinness fortune and friend of the Beatles, who died from injuries sustained in a car crash. "I saw a film today, oh boy. The English Army had just won the war. A crowd of people turned away" is about the movie How I Won the War, which John Lennon had a small part in. It got really bad reviews, hence the "crowd" who "turned away". The "woke up, fell out of bed" part was a bit of song Paul McCartney had that he hadn't been able to do anything with, so he and John worked it into this. The "four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire" section was about the bad streets in Blackburn that were full of potholes. The story was the authorities had to count them all and the comment was made that there were so many holes, "they (the holes) could fill the Albert Hall" (a bit of hyperbole here, perhaps even added by John). For the orchestra build-up, they told an orchestra to go from their lowest note of their respective instruments to their highest and they were allowed to improvise their way through it. The orchestra thought they were crazy, but they did it. The result was an avant-garde piece that was multi-tracked into the crescendo you heard. The end note was the E major chord played simultaneously on 3 different pianos and a harmonium. It would become one of the most famous end chords in music history. In addition, they also added a high-pitched note that only dogs could hear. This final chord inspired George Lucas (of Star Wars fame) to use a similar chord as part of his THX logo. The BBC banned this song for a long time due to the drug reference of "I want to turn you on". The Beatles were the first to truly turn pop music into an art experience.

This song presents Ringo as a master drummer - his fills are absolutely perfect for the song. More epicness from the lads 😊

Ringo's playing in this song is absolute genius.

This album changed everything. This is the Summer of Love, 1967. The album, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band was number 1 in the UK album chart for 27 weeks and 15 weeks in the US Hot 100. It marks a sea change in cultural thinking.

You should start from the beginning. Go from their first album to the last in chronological order. That way, you can experience the growth of the band the way we did when we were kids. Cheers! 😊

McCartney's bass playing is amazing.

"I Am the Walrus" is a great Beatles song....

the most important thing, is that you are understanding why after all these years, the beatles are still so important

Love when a new generation embraces Beatles music. 🙌

The song is 57 years old and still blows my mind utter genius

Really impressed young man, how you quickly boiled this down to some of it’s great elements, John’s vocal, Ringo’s drumming etc.. You are in for a treat as you dive into their catalog. No suggestions for you, it’s all great!

Woot, woot!!!! The Beatles! …..NEVER over-rated, but often over-HATED!!!

One of John and Paul's absolute masterpieces. I've always said that when you hear this for the first time it raises your IQ a couple of points. Something that is said so frequently about this band is 'No one had ever heard anything like this before'. Very true here. This is from their 'psychedelic' period. However, I never felt like this was their original intention. Having quit touring, they had many months to work on the album. They intended to put out an album that didn't sound like them. It as definitely a departure from expectations. Of course the Beatles were really masters at departing from expectations. They had that habit. But this album left everyone in the dust and even ended some careers. As has been noted in other comments, John had a song but was looking for something to add to it. Who better to seek this from than his old writing partner, Paul? Just so happens Paul had a little ditty he didn't know what to do with. So they merged them. While doing so they added a little avant-garde cacophony. Many people interpret the building of instruments as the rush one receives taking certain drugs. Paul has addressed in interviews. Paul said that he and John looked at each thinking this was likely going to to be interpreted that way anyway. So, they added the 24 bar orchestral build to connect the parts. You were talking about listening to this....if you listen real closely you can hear Mal Evans counting out the 24 bars so they knew when to move to the next part.

The last verse was about an article John Lennon read in the paper about how many potholes were to be found in the town of Blackburn Lancashire and the amount of asphalt estimated to fill them all would fill the Royal Albert Hall. He turned it into a great lyric.

How invigorating it is to see young people still exploring and loving the Beatles

The gorgeous voice of John Lennon The incredible drumming of Ringo Starr

Across The Universe is a beautiful song to react to.

I was just scrolling to see who's listening to The Beatles and your reaction is great. Congratulations on listening to probably one of the most perfect albums ever

One of the less well known Beatles songs is "Cry Baby Cry", John Lennon through and through, one of my favourites.

You must know that the engineer, producer and sound designer George Martin was called the 5th Beatle. He was a GREAT part of their success...

The weird bit at the very end is a hangover from the vinyl record. The groove on the record at the end went into a continuous loop, so those few seconds just played over and over until you got up and lifted the stylus. I have to add, the more I hear this song, the more I appreciate Ringo's drumming.

Check out "I want you" (She's So Heavy) or "Oh Darling"

This song is amazing, the bass line, the drumming, everything about it

Yessir.. Great reaction.. Beatles are the greatest.. Keep digging..

By the way, Ringo is the perfect drummer for the Beatles. He gets overlooked because he didn’t do fancy, heavy drum solos. He is really quite good….listen to him

For those not experienced, this gives you a tiny sliver of what a trip can be like.

I was 9 years old when John Lennon was killed and it remains one of my most vivid childhood memories because it was the first time I saw my father cry. 40+ years later and I still haven’t come to terms with it all but the music soothes the soul, to be sure.

The Beatles, ever the game changers from the first time they burst on the scene in 1963, changed EVERYTHING again, with this album.

That last note though❤️🤘goes on forever in a beatles fans head

The greatest band of all time. Good man

The finish was renowned to be the longest sustained piano chord ever recorded (so I've heard).

the Beatles broke up in 70. way before the video craze. it's rare to see a video of them. Come Together, the concert on the roof, not too many. But the music is so good. they and the Eagles are really strict about copyright, though.

There is no live version of Come Together. The Beatles stopped touring in 1966 in order to focus more on their music in the studio. The artist on the organ is Billy Preston, the only artist ever to share label credits with the Beatles on the #1 single called Get Back😮! Listed as the Beatles with Billy Preston. Billy would hit the charts himself in the early 70's and became the first artist of color to hit #1 with an instrumental and later, hit #1 with a vocal😮! Billy Preston/Will It Go Round In Circles😊

This is e must listen too album start to finish.

Paul's part of the chimaera that is this song is him reminiscing about rushing to college on the bus, having skipped breakfast. He has a quick cigarette on the upstairs of the bus (which you could do in those days) and dozes off again. In the late 50s they weren't smoking anything more exotic on public transport! John's song was mostly inspired by various news headlines in the newspaper, in a similar that 'For the Benefit of Mr. Kite' was by a Victorian circus poster found in an antiques shop. There is a brilliant home movie style video to accompany this (shot mostly by Paul I think) where you see the orchestra in preparation and other famous acts of the time dropping in on the recording session.

Don’t Let Me Down, live rooftop performance!!! Fantastic ❤️🎶

Ringo’s drums are epic, almost jazz. John’s voice is haunting. Paul’s bass is playing countermelody through the song (in the style JS Bach) but especially in John’s “ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh” part. and then the acoustic strumming of both John and George, phenomenal….and then the final E chord!

Sgt peppers Lonely hearts club LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS Same album ✌🏼 You need to check out that movie!!

I've been a Beatles Freak since I was 4 and they made their 1st American TV appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. My advice, is that to stay accurate on release dates go with the British dates especially with the early stuff. The American record companies repackaged them repeatedly. My best tool, when I was a teenager and began to build my own library was a book called The Beatles, an Illustrated Record. It came out originally at the perfect time for me. It was a bestseller and has been updated 3 or 4 times. I also always advise newbies that they should watch 1964s A Hard Days Night, the first of a three movie deal they made. It's critically acclaimed to this day. But mostly it's fun and a great way to identify who is who ( less hair blocking their features than later). Along with the voices , as well as a good platform for some of their earlier hits which were all ready numerous. Have fun.

my compliments to you, young dude.... you listen carefully and you are very astute in your observations.

I’ve been a Beatles since I was 16, when I first heard them at the end of 1963. I never tire of listening to their music.

The "blew his mind out in a car" referred to an actual prominent guy, maybe a member of Lords, who did LSD while driving, and ran a red light. Considering the limitations of recording technology at the time, this song was revolutionary, and still stands up well. It, Janis' Monterey Festival Ball and Chain, and the Stones' Gimme Shelter still give me goosebumps 55 years later. This is my first encounter with your channel, and I like what I hear. Looks like you're off to a strong start. Keep at it. I subscribed, and will return. As far as further dives into the Beatles, you wouldn't regret Hey Bulldog.

So good to see that since you first tumbled into the Beatles rabbit hole, we see you exploring the curves & new discoveries finding new treasures in that rabbit warren. Keep going! It's lovely at every turn. x Linda.

Your expression is a trip, lol! AND SO ARE THE BEATLES!

When I first heard this song as a teen in Canada in the 60's, listening over my old short wave radio to get the BBC, I thought the orchestral parts were just losing the signal! I didn't know what was going on and kept trying to tune it in! I'm sure you're not the only one missing something. 😁 The first part was said to relate to a real politician who did commit suicide. Of course "blew his mind out" could also refer to an LSD trip. Both John and Paul had bits of 2 different songs already and stitched them together. Their composing styles obviously differ. They complimented each other early on, yin and yang, John's acerbic down to earth style and Paul's lighter melodic stuff balanced out but later it became a bone of contention that helped them split up over creative differences.

All you need is love live from 1967 when the first satellites went up. And Get Back live from their last public appearance on the roof top of Abbey road studios❤😊

ringo's amazing roll and shuffle beats, underated drumming genius.

Very short story of this song, John's lyrics came from stories of the morning newspaper and Paul's contribution was him getting ready for and going to work. I am impressed with you young man you are correct the last story was about potholes in the road.

Always remember listening to this in the early 70s while stoned. The two sections where the music rose and rose and rose, I physically went with it. Was relieved when it stopped. When it went back to the bouncy music I laughed with relief. A great song.

HEY BULLDOG (by John) and IT'S ALL TOO MUCH (by George, about his wife Pattie Boyd-Harrison-Clapton, also SOMETHING, LAYLA and WONDERFUL TONIGHT - all for the very same girl! You can see her in the movie A HARD DAYS NIGHT, where George met the model/actress... she's the blonde who sits down at the end of the train with her girlfriend near the beginning of the movie.) These two songs are from YELLOW SUBMARINE (although Hey Bulldog was cut from the original release in 1968), but the songs were recorded a year earlier, in 1967, so it matches up nicely with SGT. PEPPER (I, personally, never say Sgt. Pepper's, possessive, unless I say the whole album title) and MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR... which along with RUBBER SOUL, and REVOLVER is the very pinnacle of Beatles output (in basically just 2 years, 1966-67). The Beatles REINVENTED themselves right after this period... when, in 1968, they went to India to see the Maharishi and learn transcendental meditation (only 20 minute meditation... twice daily!), and then got pissed at him (aka Sexy Sadie on the White Album) because, apparently, he was flirting with the beautiful women (like Pattie and Mia Farrow while she was still married to Frank Sinatra - very young (she was 21, Sinatra was 50) and very beautiful too, see the recent videos of their trip, THE BEATLES IN INDIA). They returned and wrote HEY JUDE ("Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song, and make it better" - Jude originally Julian Lennon, John's first son by his first wife) b/w REVOLUTION ("You say you want a revolution, well, you know, we all want to change the world.") AND THEN came what is now called THE WHITE ALBUM... and you'd hardly recognize this was the same band that brought you this A DAY IN THE LIFE!!! Re: the lyrics to this song... it's well documented how it came about. John was at home, at the piano, reading the paper, as he has ALWAYS done (he's a reader, that one!), and the news that he read was a real story, that car crash, and, get this, the guy who "blew his mind out in a car," was none other than a friend of the Beatles (and all the cool people of the Swinging Sixties scene in London that year) named Tara Browne... the heir to the Guinness alcohol fortune. Tara was not in the House of Lords, but his dad was. The movie John "saw" was his own! He had a part in a Dick Lester (who did A HARD DAYS NIGHT) movie called HOW I WON THE WAR. Apparently, it wasn't a very good movie, as "a crowd of people turned away," but of course, John HAD to look, he was IN THE MOVIE!!! Paul's "Woke up, fell out of bed..." was just one of his ditties that he had lying around and thought it would go well here. Paul also pretty much came up with the orchestra swell idea, primarily because he "was a man about town" and discovering music by STOCKHAUSEN, while John languished at home with his wife and kid. Finally - those 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire? POTHOLES, all of them! Someone had to go and fill them all in!!! So far as I can tell, The Albert Hall is STILL being filled with holes ;)

Great reaction to one of so many iconic Beatles songs.

Have to give you your props, that was a really thoughtful honest reaction. A couple of points regarding this song, first it was actually two seperate songs, one by Lennon and the other by McCartney, that for whatever reason decided to merge (the first mashup). The second point is that producer George Martin probably should have gotten songwriting credits because he created that mashup. The Beatles would basically tell Martin "this is what we hear in our head, can you lay it down on vinyl?" and he would make it happen

I have this album up in my attic along with all of the other Beatles albums released. Their music defines my generation.

The first line about the man who "made the grade" is a newspaper story about a fatal car accident that involved the heir to the Guinness beer fortune. 'He blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed" Many people at the time thought those lines were actually proof of the rumor the Paul had died in a car accident and was replaced and that's not true. The 4,000 holes mentioned, were potholes in a road which John also read about in a newspaper and was amused by the fact that ...Did somebody COUNT them ? How can they say exactly 4,000 holes ? LOL The middle part of the song when Paul sings "Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head' (He didn't say he read the news) was a piece of song that Paul had written and didn't know what to do with. So they decided to put it in the middle of this. Welcome to THE BEATLES.....Enjoy !!! 😀

Blew his mind out in a car, meaning he was tripping on a hallucinogenic and was unable to pay attention to the traffic. The whole song is references to being under the influence, but the events mentioned were actual things in the news - a good friend of theirs, a very wealthy young person, had died in a car crash, books, movies, potholes, all related with the dreamlike perspective of tripping. When this album was released in 1967, music critics and classical musicians likened this song to pieces by the great classical composers.

My favourite Beatles song, great reaction, I love your analysis of songs

John and Paul each had a piece of a song so George Martin decided to put the two parts together and make one song! A MASTERPIECE was the result! John sang the first and third parts with Paul singing the middle!

"I saw a film today...." verse/lyrics refer to the movie (How I Won the War - 1967) that John had a small role in. The crowd turning away refers to the fact that the film was not well received. "He" has to look, (watch the film), having read the book/the script.

This album and this group changed contemporary music forever. Remember in 1967..nothing like this had ever been done. These giants of music inventiveness and originality provided the foundation for just about every other group since......thank you for this....great memories.......do yourself a huge favor and read some of the background history that will also blow you away. A masterpiece indeed. This was a group whose albums were listened to from cover to cover....every album.....hit after hit after hit....and at one time in the USA they had the first five spots....This album was number one for months and months...,..

Baby, I've bern a Beatles fan since 1963. I turned 68 yesterday. 😎

Yes, that was about a 40 piece orchestra. It was a party atmosphere in the studio and there are KZfaq clips of it. This was the way the Sgt. Pepper album ended. At the end, it was all 4 Beatles plus their producer George Martin, playing that final piano chord. And then, there was indeed a very brief 15k dog whistle, suggested by Lennon to annoy the dogs in the room. And then the very brief 2 second sound montage was a "hidden" track on the vinyl LP, now referred to unofficially as "The Inner Groove". With LP's on a turntable, once the needle goes all the way to the very inner part of the record just outside the label, unless an automatic repositioning of the arm is enabled, the record just turns and turns endlessly on that inner run-out groove until the listener gets up and manually takes the needle off. So on this album, that 2 second clip played as a non-stop loop. It was one of the few times that they intentionally did a "turn on" song, other times were simply inspired in that direction.

This makes me remember the first time that I heard this when I was about 10 or 11 years old…wow! 🥰

Bits actually two songs fused together...John had a part finished song and played it for Paul in the studio. Paul said I have a part finished song too. So they melded them together...made the Great is an English saying. I guess in America you would say ' he has made the big time

See the video of Paul in his childhood home and you will hear him talking about this waking up, getting a cup, heading out to the bus. John read the paper.

A rich young man, member of the House of Lords, rather well known and also a friend of Lennon, dies in a car crash close to Marble Arch in central London. It´s in the papers next day, and the I of the song reads it - it´s the start of just another day in your life. And it really happened. What´s really keeping this song together is Ringo´s drumming - exellent!

I'm glad you heard the whistle. It's so high that my old ears can't hear it any longer. The whistle is in the 'lead out' track on the vinyl and the noise at the end is in the centre groove of the record where it just goes on, and on, and on until you lifted the stylus off. It's a kind of mantra. Have a listen to the previous album (Revolver), in particular the last track...

Check out "I Want You (she's so heavy)" "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" " Helter Skelter". ✌️

From what I've heard in the past, John didn't have a good middle section for his song "A Day in the Life", and Paul just happened to be working on a random tune that was going nowhere. So John and Paul decided to see what would happen if they combined their two distinct pieces. And it worked! An amazing, histotic achievement in music composition, which they would return to on their finale (farewell-to-fans) album, "Abbey Road".

4:05 it was a symphony orchestra in studio. They were used to playing music written on paper, which none of the Beatles knew how to do. Producer George Martin was the one who made this happen. A few members of the orchestra walked out of the session when they found out they were expected to follow musical direction from John and Paul. The big musical swell was told to them as "everybody start on a low note and slowly climb the scale to the highest note on your instrument". The final chord was added by every band member, as well as others in the studio, hitting the same chord on different pianos (8 or 9 in total) ɓecause at the time only 4 tracks were available to record on tape. Its amazing if you think about what they produced in 1967.

I remember the first time I played this record in 1967 and how blown away I was.

Top ten songs ever arguably the best. I love the way John’s voice changes speakers!

Ringo always said that his best performance as a Beatle was “Rain.” I love Rain and his drumming on it, but I think this is his greatest performance.

That last piano note sustained for 45 seconds on the original recording It's an E Major chord played by the boys and George Martin and assistant Mal Evans simultaneously on multiple pianos...Back in the day; it was so cool to listen to it fade away...~sigh~

St.Pepper was the 2nd album I bought with savings from my little pocket money in 1967, the 1st being "Kinks" (which my mother furiously destroyed - I forgave her sometime later). The sounds and laughter at 7:34 was only audible with a non automatic tonearm lift and return being on the innermost (and endless) track. It was the last song of the LP. I still have it and love it (being now 72), but it's a ruin. I also liked the cover and tried to find out who ALL the people were (not so easy for an Austrian). Many thanks for your great work! Among my other favorites of those times: Pink Floyd, ELP, Cream (Eric Clapton in general) later Dire Straits and many others)

For the change between Paul's and John's parts, they had an orchestra play scales over and over, and then they sped it up. Very interesting and groundbreaking. George Martin, their producer, played that piano note at the end.

In an interview Paul said the final piano chord in the song was to show how long a single chord note would last.

The first verse is about a wealthy London society heir, a friend of Lennon's who was killed in a car crash, indeed by blowing through a red light. "Made the grade" usually does refer to success -- passing a test, being found worthy -- but Lennon's using it ironically to refer to his friend dying. Very often, Beatles songs credited to Lennon and McCartney were mash-ups. The would both take separate songs they were working on, and combine them, usually making a verse from one into a bridge for the other. In this case, Lennon's song was about the stuff you encounter in day-to-day life: reading the newspaper, watching a movie. The movie he mentions is actually one he acted in, "How I Won the War." Paul had the beginning of a song about his youth, waking up, taking the bus to school, sneaking out for a smoke, etc, which he contributed to John's daily-life song. The Beatles were accompanied by an actual orchestra, but in the parts where the music rises higher and higher, there was no printed music. The musicians were instructed to just "wing it" climbing up the scales. The final piano chord was played on three pianos simultaneously. The last weird little bit of gobbledygook was a practical joke by the band. "A Day in the Life" was the final song on the "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album. In the days of vinyl records, the spiral groove that the needle travels in to make the music ended in a loop near the center of the record, which would just play over and over until you lifted up the needle. So the Beatles had the producers just cut up a few feet of tape with scissors, then randomly splice together a few seconds to put in that inner loop -- along with a few seconds of a hypersonic tone, too high for humans to hear, just to make dogs bark!

I've heard this song probably 1000 times but still hadn't thought of some of the brilliant, deep-thinking first impressions you just gave. Other things you said I may have thought too, but only after I had heard it 100 or 200 times. The Beatles are (still) my favorite band, and this Is (still) my favorite Beatles song. A dozen of their other songs are tied in a very close second. Great insights!! You should make another video on this song after you inevitably develop your thorough interpretation.

The piano chord at the end kept a record for the longest played for a long time.

My son attended Princeton University and took an elective class on the history of rock music. It culminated with the professor touting this song as the greatest rock and roll composition ever conceived and recorded. Many people agree....

The Fab Four changed the course of pop and rock music forever! Thank God! I grew up with their music from their first LP in America "Introducing The Beatles", which I still have 62 years later along with most of their music.

Damn.they so good.. Every song great..yet Every song different!!!

You got to understand that most music up to this time had a beginning chorus and an end. This was one of the first musical pieces that in my opinion embrace the chaotic change that was going on in the 60s...

The arrangements with the horns is brilliant

It reminds me of the first time I heard this song in high school 1983. Making sense of it. But it was a literal day in the life. The movie referred to was an experimental film John was in. How i Won the War. Everyone hated it. But he "read the script." Then Paul writing about a typical dude going to work and daydreaming of something better. These were two separately written songs. They both agreed they could put them together since they had the same theme. Paul composed music to conduct the London Symphony Orchestra to divide the two songs. Just brilliant. They were into the Avant Garde art movement of the 60s and that dissonant scale rise is indicative of that sound.

Part of the epicness of this track is the context in which it was released. People fall in love with the rock-and-roll Beatlemania Beatles of 1963-64, and thereafter, album by album, the Beatles continually re-surprise everyone as they change the rules of music forever amid a backdrop of a rapidly changing society in the 1960s 🎸 If you want to take your audience on an album-length abridged Beatles adventure, I might recommend: • 1962: Love Me Do • 1963: Please Please Me • 1963: I Want to Hold Your Hand • 1964: A Hard Day’s Night • 1965: Help! • 1965: Yesterday • 1965: Day Tripper • 1965: In My Life • 1966: Eleanor Rigby • 1967: Strawberry Fields Forever • 1967: I Am the Walrus • 1968: Hey Jude • 1968: Revolution • 1969 recorded, 1970 released: Let it Be • 1969: Here Comes the Sun Or if you're real ambitious, you could go on the entire 200-track epic adventure (advice: don't miss the singles! those were oftentimes not included on albums) 🎙🎸🥁☮

"I'd love to turn you on" just before both orchestral surges is all you need to know. Turn on, tune in and drop out as the acid generation put it. I love this period of Lennon's writing especially. Try Tomorrow Never Knows or Strawberry Fields Forever for a bit more psychedelic mind-bending

Helter Skelter is a very differente song from them that I think you would like to hear

I’m one of the Beatles fan i love all their songs

The song still gives me chills. So different and genius.

Thanks for a great reaction, MD! As you go down this Beatles rabbit hole, I'm glad you are seeing the genius of Ringo Starr. Indeed The Beatles sound could not be without him his unique grooves and sometimes metronomically odd timing gave their songs a sound that no other band in the planet can achieve. He always played his drum parts in service of the song and when his genius is coupled with 3 other geniuses you get the greatest rock band in the history

I remember exactly where I was in 1967 when I first heard that album. Nice to see some young fellas getting into this music.

As a DJ said one night on WRNO FM radio New Orleans."For they will never be again" I will never forget the DJ saying that. Brilliant! Wish I could claim it. If you haven't seen the Documentary on Apple TV on the Beatles. It's worth every minute of the 8 hour Doc.

No figuring out this song, they were high. 🤣😂

What I always took from this song was that it was "A Day in the Life." So, it's everyday news about possibly famous people that the public shares and comments on (like social media today) but ultimately doesn't really care about, no matter if it is horrible or not. The more dramatic the better. Then a guy going through his everyday routine. Then back to the news. The "4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire" I took as the other extreme of news, of boring details blown up out of proportion ("although the holes were small, they had to count them all.") I took the "I'd love to turn you on" to means (rather than a drug reference) to get people's attention and hypnotize them with the news. It now seems an incredibly current and pertinent song!

Thanks for letting that final chord play out to full conclusion!
