While the Beatles’ musical contributions are immeasurable, the song released in 1968 can be considered one of their signature works.

Written by Paul McCartney, it is said to have been created to encourage John Lennon’s son.

Its warm lyrics and melody seem to offer solace and words of encouragement to listeners.

Despite running over seven minutes, its structure remains engaging to the very end.

Released in August 1968, the song is also known as the first release on the Beatles’ own label, Apple Records.

It is a track that stands as a true prescription for the heart, offering comfort to those burdened with worries and anxiety.

The Beatles – Yellow Submarine

Released as a double A-side with “Eleanor Rigby” and also included on the seventh album Revolver, which came out the same day, the single “Yellow Submarine” features drummer Ringo Starr on lead vocals and was a hit that topped the UK Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks.

While the overall key is low and the melody is relaxed, be mindful to stay in time with the bouncing shuffle beat.

It’s a catchy number that’s easy to try even for those who feel less confident with Western pop music.

The Beatles continue to influence musicians around the world.

Included on their June 1967 album, Sgt.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, this song is notable for lyrics that weave together fragments of everyday life and sharp social satire.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney take on different parts, each depicting daily scenes from their own perspective, and the grandeur of the orchestral performance stirs listeners’ hearts.

Although it was so shocking that the BBC banned it from broadcast, it is now universally recognized as a masterpiece.

Sing it at karaoke and you’re sure to steal the spotlight.

The Beatles – A Hard Day’s Night

“A Hard Day’s Night” is a memorable track that showcases the Beatles’ early momentum and creativity.

Its lyrics—simple yet profoundly meaningful—celebrate the joy of returning to a loved one after a long day’s work.

The universal theme of enduring tough days and finding healing through the bond with someone you love remains as fresh as ever.

Created for the 1964 film of the same name, the song became a major hit upon release in both the UK and the US.

Every track on the album was an original Lennon–McCartney composition, and the lyrics—depicting the bittersweet romances of young couples—breathed new life into the music scene of the time.

For many listeners, this song about love for the person who soothes a weary body evokes vivid memories of their youth.

All My Loving (Remastered 2009)

The song All My Loving is included on their second UK original album, With the Beatles.

Its ensemble, featuring brisk, choppy guitar strumming, sticks in your head along with its catchy choral work.

Since the melody doesn’t have big leaps and the range isn’t wide, it’s a relaxed choice for karaoke.

However, a more intricate melodic passage appears toward the end, so be sure to learn it thoroughly before performing it in front of others.

Blackbird (Remastered 2009)

“Blackbird” is a song that portrays the defense and liberation of Black women’s rights.

Featured on the ninth UK album, The Beatles (also known as the White Album), it is performed solely with Paul McCartney’s guitar.

The melody’s distinctive rhythmic phrasing makes it a bit hard to memorize, but because the vocal range is narrow and the tempo is relaxed, it should be quite singable if you approach it calmly.

It’s an immortal classic, and I hope you sing it while keeping in mind the message embedded in its lyrics.
