Also, I didn't scream about it on Thursday + Friday. But did anyone listen to the new Beatles song? I really like it, I know a lot of people don't and that's fair. I mean it's moreso a John song but I know he wrote it and was going to give it to Paul as a "comeback" song, but obviously Paul changed some parts and the fact that it was originally not a great sound to begin with. But I think that it's a really nice send off.
The music video is very cheesy though, and tonally all over the place. But that's kind of what The Beatles are, they will have some very horny lyrics in an otherwise romantic song. Or they have some fantastic songs like on Revolver there's Here, There and Everywhere but then the next song is Yellow Submarine. So while jarring, the music video really sort of suits the vibe. What do y'all think? Here's just the audio and here's the music video.
We played it on Friday night I thought it was OK. Not bad not great just kind of background music.
Understandable. I ended up buying the vinyl for it. Though had to get it through their actual website which cost me $44 inclu. shipping, as the local Australian store that they're partnered with sold out (JB Hi-Fi also doesn't have it). So more expensive, but it's the clear version and considering that that included shipping... not bad.
But yeah, mum and I love it. But I also understand why some might be apprehensive about it.
I think when you buy albums they have a special meaning to the purchaser. I'm not an album person, I'm more of an individual song person if that makes sense but if you were a Beatles fan I can totally understand why you would buy it.
BTW we play a lot of Beatles on a Friday night because they make great drunken sing-alongs.
I've only somewhat recently-ish gotten into vinyl records. My first vinyl was actually Visions of Bodies Being Burned by Clipping. But I've always eyed the Yellow Submarine vinyl for YEARS but never getting it because a) Centrelink money and b) we didn't have a record until I got mum one for Christmas two or so years ago. But I actually recently bought it and am super happy with it (Yellow Submarine was the first song my Nana introduced me to so it's pretty sentimental for my love of The Beatles but also my Nana, but funnily enough, Yellow Submarine isn't my favourite album).
That is true, good plan there. Mum and I will often belt out Beatles or Queen when we're driving together.
I didn't think much of it at all. To my ear, if it didn't carry the name "The Beatles" in front of the title it wouldn't get a mention. I did want to like it but I found it flat and boring.
That is true. I mean yeah, it's very different to what they've done, it definitely feels more like a John song, like akin to Imagine, but I can see why it doesn't really feel like a Beatles song.
