More of The Beatles

I've compiled several videos of The Beatles from Youtube.
Enjoy watching!

Yesterday


Ah..Yesterday.It is indeed lovely but a sad song. This pop song was originally written by McCartney and released under the album Help! in 1965. In this video, he's just accompanied by a string quartet. This was the first time the band had a solo performance.

Gee. I have the chords. Feel free to copy it!

Limelight: The Beatles




The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

The Beatles really do have the style and sound. Marked as the best selling musical act of all time in the United States of America, The Beatles have taken the world of entertainment by storm.

Flooded by grotty misconceptions of critics, some say they couldn't last more than a month or two. But the Fab Four proved them wrong. With hundreds of singles and albums that are certified chart toppers and over one billion discs and tapes sold worldwide, it’s more than enough.



And I Love Her:The Beatles

Music For All Ages

"if you’re lost you can look–and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you–I’ll be waiting
time after time…. "


Just one of the millions of songs created since music was "invented". From the ancient Cave Mans who used different things and anything that can normally produce sound up to the electrical instruments that were invented and is being widely used today. Whew!What a transition. I can say that technology has gone too far now. And it really did a good job. Thumbs up for that Mr. I.T!




I can say I am of those who really can’t live without music. I am not exaggerating. I am only saying the truth. OK? I am a frustrated singer actually. No one can blame me. I just love music.

Nowadays, music comes in all sizes and shapes. Genre is what I really meant by that. Rock to Alternative. Hip Hop to RnB and stuff. Thanks to to the geniuses (song writers and composers). If not for them, Michael Jackson won’t be here singin’…"You know its thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight!"

This blog is dedicated to all music maniacs.

KEEP ON ROCKIN’ Ya’ALL!
