She Loves YouThe Beatles

A lively early Beatles hit with the memorable “Yeah Yeah Yeah!” chorus, this was from the period when every song they released shot to number one—and the only time they’d be knocked off the top was by their own next single, as the whole world was swept up in Beatlemania.

True to the Beatles’ style, the song isn’t just a straightforward love song; it adds a clever twist by having the singer speak to you about her feelings for you.

Revolver

The album Revolver, which revolutionized the history of pop music.

Hailed as a timeless masterpiece, it was released in August 1966 and reached number one on both the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200.

Defined by its psychedelic sound and innovative recording techniques, its final track in particular is an experimental piece influenced by Indian music.

With lyrics themed around Eastern philosophy and the exploration of consciousness, it presents listeners with a new worldview.

Serving as a turning point in the Beatles’ musical evolution, Revolver continues to be loved by many music fans to this day.

It’s especially recommended for a quiet night with headphones.

Leave My Kitten AloneThe Beatles

A hidden gem by the legendary Liverpool rock band, the Beatles, this cat-themed track deserves attention for its captivating charm.

Recorded in August 1964, it’s a powerful cover that reimagines Little Willie John’s R&B number in the band’s own rock style.

John Lennon’s passionate vocals and George Harrison’s incisive guitar work weave an energetic sound that left a strong impression and remained a beloved staple of their early live repertoire.

Long unreleased, the track finally saw an official release on the 1995 album Anthology 1, becoming a long-awaited recording for fans.

It’s a recommended listen for those who want to feel the roots of rock ’n’ roll or explore the Beatles’ wide-ranging musicality.

Please Please MeThe Beatles

THE BEATLES – Please Please Me – 1963
Please Please MeThe Beatles

It was the Beatles’ first hit, with John on lead vocals and Paul doing the call-and-response.

John’s harmonica, along with the lively melody and chorus, became a Beatles trademark.

The wordplay in “Please (onegai) Please (to delight) Me (me)” is also very Beatles-like.

TaxmanThe Beatles

The Beatles – Taxman (Anthology 2 Disc 1)
TaxmanThe Beatles

The only one of George’s songs to open an album, and one of the signature works of his entire career.

It’s distinctive for weaving in the name of a sitting British minister at the time, and is regarded as expressing the Beatles’ true feelings about the heavy taxes they faced.

Included on the album Revolver.

Hey JudeThe Beatles

It’s a piano ballad composed by Paul.

It’s said that he wrote it to encourage John’s son Julian, who was struggling with the turmoil of the divorce.

In addition to the conversational, song-like first half, it builds to a grand finale with added orchestration in the latter half.

At seven minutes—an unthinkable length for a single at the time—the record label didn’t expect it to be a hit, but it ultimately became the Beatles’ biggest hit.

BecauseThe Beatles

The Beatles – Because (Anthology 3 Disc 2)
BecauseThe Beatles

The Beatles eagerly incorporated vocal harmonies from their amateur days, which contrasts with their rivals, the Stones.

This track from Abbey Road makes full use of that choral technique, with the three voices blending beautifully.
