The Freaking Beatles

I have always absolutely LOVED the Beatles. My dad has always listened to them, so I became pretty familiar with them growing up. To me, The Beatles have the best blending of voices in their band. I knew that they wrote a lot of their songs, but i didn't know that it was really uncommon for bands back then to actually put them on an album. I guess the producer made one of the best choices of his life to take a chance with The Beatles on "Please Please Me".

^ John Lennon!

I gotta say though, John Lennon is just awesome. He sings the song "Imagine", and even though its obviously very different from the first two albums with The Beatles, its a great slow song. I love his lyrics:


Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too
 
Lennon creates this fantasy world in my head of just how peaceful our world would be without all the conflicts of politics, religion, or crazy ass people running around killing each other.  

And I for sure can't forget about the one and only Paul McCartney. He is a legend song writer, as well as John Lennon of course. McCartney and Lennon wrote so many of The Beatles songs, and then some of their own singles. It blows my mind to think of just how many songs those two men have written. Without them we wouldn't have some of the greatest hits in all of music history today. If you watched the Olympics this year, McCartney performed and showed that he could still kick ass and rock and roll. It's crazy to me because when we listened to the first two albums in class, i felt like we listened to them really fast. I'm not sure exactly how long the albums were, but i definitely thought that they would feel like they took a longer time. 

So here's a song that I really enjoy by The Beatles called "Come Together" :

And then here is somewhat of a remix of "Come Together". If you notice, this remix isn't really that different from the original version. I don't really like when songs have too much techno or dubstep and just ruin a good original song. I think this remix just adds kinda a modern touch to "Come Together" in a key way. (takes like 30 seconds to get started) :
