Yep, that's right we're doing five songs today. Plus a bonus video! So I guess 6. It's a sixer. Okay, let's get to it.
The first video is a song I only recently discovered. It's called "Something" and it was written by George Harrison. It is his one of his best songs and is the second most covered Beatles' song next to "Yesterday". It is from their Abbey Road album, which was their last that they recorded together, even though Let it Be was released after Abbey Road. Anyway, it's a beautiful song and I absolutely adore it.
This next song, "I Wanna Be Your Man" was released on the album With the Beatles in 1963. It is sung by Ringo, and it's a helluva good time. This version is a live version from Paris. Oh to see them live, what a wonderful notion.
Up next, "Drive My Car". A song that I grew up listening to and have always loved. It's so fun. It was recorded and released for their 1965 album Rubber Soul.
Another song from Abbey Road, "Come Together" has been one of those songs I've always known. I can't even remember the first time I heard it. Still, I love it just the same.
The song "Blackbird" has always been very special to me. My stepdad played it for me on his guitar frequently enough that eventually I asked him to play it every time I saw him with his guitar. I love this song, of course. It was part of The White Album released in 1968, and I can never hear it enough.
Drum roll, please, Ringo!! My special bonus video is one of my favorite songs by The Beatles, and is a live version from Shea Stadium in New York in 1965. The song was released on their album Help! in 1965 and I think it's so fun. Even though the lyrics aren't very fun, the melody and their enthusiasm makes it a great time to listen to this song, and watch them play it. It's called "I'm Down" and I've posted it before, but I love this version. With Paul screaming all over the place and John and George laughing so much they can barely sing, it's great.
I hope you enjoyed all the videos and songs! Good night and God bless!
