Classic Reactions Ep. 35: The Beatles - A Day In The Life Of
Comments (6)
You have to understand, this was something new. Noone was making music like this, its like proto-prog. It was also the 60's, so times and ideas were changing fast, it was a social revolution. The Beatles themselves listened to very different music than this when they were growing up, so Rooney was on it, they used music they grew up on to build the song, so jazz was part of that as well as the walking bass. On a side note, Elton John has been knighted too, but who knows the criteria, other than you must be British/served the crown. I think the real queen, su-metal, has knighted everybody in the one, lol. So Sir Batoosh and Dame Nonna! #THG. ☕️☕️☕️☕️
😂 Thank you sir Paul! ❤️ And you're right, I think context really matters here when it comes to this composition and choices, I read a little about the song while I was waiting for the edits to render, and it had some very interesting info, like the fact that it actually is a merger of 2 songs, the fact that they used symphony in the studio to do that kind of sound which was as you said groundbreaking in a way, the fact that the very last piano chord lasts for about 40 seconds because the engineers pushed the volumes up gradually all the way to max while the sound was naturally fading out which made the mics so loud they picked up even on a noise made by a chair in the studio, which you can hear towards the end of the song! Really cool stuff, despite it not being a song we'd go back and listen to necessarily.
The Beatles were well into their drug phase by this time, no more 'She Loves You, Ya Ya Ya', and Rooney is correct, they never played this live, they stopped touring in 1966. Your Boy takes after his Mother, both in his looks, and in his inquisitive mind... So many questions young fellow!!! lol But that's ok... Inquiring minds want to know!!! 🔥🤘😎🤘🔥 #THG
So you know that my struggle is real 😂 😂 And you haven't even seen the younger dude, and that one.... Oh lawd 😂
Hey! What's up!?! I used to love listening to that song on my parents' hi-fi system. We had the whole album, and yeah... it's quite unsettling, especially 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. 🫶
Lol, my parents would never have listened to the Beatles, all big band era music.
