Technologically, stunning that they could make it. The song itself, I like it. Melancholy for sure, as are many of their past works. The video is great.
When they first came out in 1964, I, as a 20 year old, thought their music was awful after a 10-15 year diet of doo-wop, Philly sound, California sound, good old time rock n roll. However, over the years back then, I really came to appreciate their music and creative talents, along with their individual and collective impacts that they had on so many things, and not just music. I am so happy that I lived at a time to appreciate them, and to live long enough to grow into them.
I find myself listening to the Beatles Channel on Sirius/XM multiple times a week. More than once, I have PM'd Ron, (
@Micca, a big Beatles fan) about how amazingly diverse and different their music was, song to song, album to album, time period to time period. So many music artists play their songs and they kind of fall into a similar vein. The Beatles? Hardly. I recall when they would come out with a new song/album and I was like, "Ugh, what the heck is that!?!?" But over a short period of time, hearing it often, I was like, "Yeah, that's pretty neat, pretty cool. I like that, so different."
And as we have seen now 60 years since they arrived on the scene, and about 55 years after they ended as a group, their songs are like music standards. A few notes and most of us know the song, the melody and the lyrics. Their music will survive for many decades in the future.
