FORMED: 1960, Liverpool, England DISBANDED: 1970 Inspired by the "skiffle boom", a student at Quarry Bank School in Liverpool named John Lennon decided to form a group in 1957 which laid the foundation to what was to become the most famous rock band of all time. John's original name was "The Blackjacks". However, this name only lasted a week and John used the school name as inspiration for the later name "The Quarry Men" in March 1957. John sang and played guitar, Colin Hanton played drums, Eric Griffiths on guitar, Pete Shotton on washboard, Rod Davis on banjo and Bill Smith on tea-chest bass. Bill was soon replaced by Ivan Vaughan. John was inspired by "Heartbreak Hotel" and became a fan of American rock 'n' roll music. He introduced songs by Buddy H More... (Submit New The Beatles Lyrics) (Submit New The Beatles Lyrics) Review about The Beatles @ Glanost | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Blackbird performed by The Beatles I believe you said "Why would a black guy need to learn to see?" well that shows your ignorance on several levels. First off the sunken eyes means that the eyes are lowered below the point the normally would be, in other words: the person's head is bowed in submission (slavery). When it says "learn to see" the person is now lifting his head and looking up because suddenly he's an equal and he's unsure what that means exactly so the singer points out that this is what he's always wanted, he's been "waiting for this moment to be free." If it's not about civil rights and is in fact about gender discrimination, then replace the words black and/or man with woman and it's still the same message about overcoming adversity. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to claim this song is satanic. I bet you're the type of person who thinks Obama is a secret Kenyan muslim terrorist who wants to spread his nazi socialism all over the world. "John Lennon In My Life" | Reviewer: Big Robbo ------ About the song Come Together performed by The Beatles "One afternoon, while taking "lucky dips" into the day's sack of fan mail, John, much to both our amusement, chanced to pull out a letter from a student at Quarry Bank. Following the usual expressions of adoration, this lad revealed that his literature master was playing Beatles songs in class; after the boys all took their turns analyzing the lyrics, the teacher would weigh in with his own interpretation of what the Beatles were really talking about. (This, of course, was the same institution of learning whose headmaster had summed up young Lennon's prospects with the words: "This boy is bound to fail.") "John and I howled in laughter over the absurdity of it all. "Pete," he said, "what's that 'Dead Dog's Eye' song we used to sing when we were at Quarry Bank?" I thought for a moment and it all came back to me: Yellow matter custard, green slop pie, All mixed together with a dead dog's eye, Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick, Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick. "That's it!" said John. "Fantastic!" He found a pen, commenced scribbling: "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye...." Such was the genesis of "I Am the Walrus" (The Walrus itself was to materialize alter, almost literally stepping out of a page in Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking Glass') Inspired by the picture of that Quarry Bank literature master pontificating about the symbolism of Lennon-McCartney, John threw in the most ludicrous images his imagination could conjure. He thought of "semolina" (an insipid pudding we'd been forced to eat as kids) and "pilchard" (a sardine we often fed to our cats). Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower....," John intoned, writing it down with considerable relish. He turned to me, smiling. "let the F*ckers work THAT one out, Pete."

Well you don't have to go too far with that... it's in the song. mother nature's son | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Mother Nature's Son performed by The Beatles i would KILl to be alive during their time and to actualy see the beatles and other amazing bands back when music was actualy good! but no i had to be born in '94 with the privilage of watching some white trash whore sing songs about sex. Lucy | Reviewer: L ------ About the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds performed by The Beatles Paul McCartney admitted this song was inspired by LSD in an interview with rolling stone. Amazing amazing song no matter what it's about, it doesn't detract from the song that it's inspired by drugs. Though i think there is some truth in the painting Julian Lennon named lucy in the sky with diamonds story. John no doubt noticed the abreviation of the tittle LSD, and saw how in the painting the girl had diamond shape eyes and how everything was surreal and reflective of an LSD trip, with orange skys and flowers over lucys head. so this inspired him to write a song about LSD inspired by and referencing to the immagry of his sons painting. Obvious if you think about it. I don't see why people can't see this and have to back one or the other opinion, when clearly it is a mixture of both. i met george sister last week | Reviewer: keith lininger ------ About the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds performed by The Beatles yes the song is about lsd when i met george sister she said it was about lsd and that they smoked alot of weed growing up and while playing which his sis thought was perfectly fine and they all did lsd then eneded up in rehab and once they got out they weere all clean and ringo later on started doing heroine and thats a little part of why they fell out Fred Freedom | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Blackbird performed by The Beatles Glanost, you are a dumbass, it's as simple as that. I agree, most religious people are incredibly racist, and also incredibly ignorant. If you think the beatles are satanic than don't listen to them, and keep your ignorant thoughts to yourself instead of writing on a lyrics page hoping for attention. another overlooked and underrated McCartney classic | Reviewer: sBuddy Hebb ------ About the song Things We Said Today performed by The Beatles Mozart apart, no other composeer in history possesses McCartney's genius. Lennon's melodies, In My Life, A Day In The Life, Girl, for example come close to equalling Hey Jude, Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, Let It Be in melodic terms As the Beatles however their input was equal. The sheer creativity and innovation that saw the Beatles produce the equivalent of Shakespeare in musical terms will lend its legacy for as long as mankind exists. McCartney's Things We Said Today is another star track in the cosmic canon that has no musical equal. ¬¬ | Reviewer: Fede ------ About the song Something performed by The Beatles "that's not even in the song hahaha. wtf? i'm fucking confused. well hm, no i'm not, but who is the dipshit who wrote that in to the text? it's not even the style of beatles. shame on you." Actually THERE IS an acoustic version performed by harrison and DOES sing that missing part of the lyrics... SHAME ON YOU ¬¬ ah, gee. Sigh | Reviewer: Michael Mavric ------ About the song I Am the Walrus performed by The Beatles The Beatles were much more than musicians.they were a worldwide cultural phenomenon who not only revamped and reshaped the sound and soul of popular music globally (and whose influence is still discrenable in the artists of today), they irrevocably altered the collective human conscience. It is in this light that I say that when seriously representing any of their lyrics, one should be careful to be correct in their presentation. The Beatles themselves were mischievously self-effacing,given to self-parody (one need only to view the films - with the exception of "Let It Be" - to be certain of the veracity of the statement), and wouldn't mind a good joke, BUT!, it`s NOT a good joke! It is nothing but misrepresentation. As for the song itself, it has endured 42 years, and finds new fans daily.a remarkable achievement for four middle class hometown boys. It is classic rock'n'roll, and no matter that the lyrics are gobbledidook. It is as the artist, the consumate social rebel, intended, a artistic protest against those who were finding "hidden meaning and messages in even their most innocuous lyrics. I can almost hear Lennon wickedly chuckling, "Let 'em make something out of THAT!" This song, like "Tomorrow Never Knows,"is about the sound! "Tomorrow Never Knows" is, for my bet, the better composition,as its lyrics do have meaning. Yet "walrus"has fared better in continued recognition, and as a fan, remains one of my favorites of many, many, remarkably solid songs from this "great little band"! Please, for those who view the Beatles as modern day literary minstrals, submit the lyrics as the authors intended them (would you claim Shakespeare had Hamlet soliloquy, "To see, or maybe to tree?"). To do otherwise is a grave insult to the career and efforts of of guiless artists. Maybe you should apply your efforts to some other intrest. Interpret | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Strawberry Fields Forever performed by The Beatles Strawberry Fields could be a somewhere he escapes to in his dreams or when he's high. since "nothing is real" Living is easy with eyes closed cause its getting harder to be fake paul. It doesnt matter much to john. In the end it will all work out. No ones in his tree cause hes sure no one will know the truth to paul. Seaking metaphoriclly that paul is dead. Ignorant when it come to the Bealtes! | Reviewer: Liz ------ About the song I Am the Walrus performed by The Beatles It's been said a million times so far, but I have to say it again. WTF posted these lyrics? Are you really that stupid, do you just like to make yourself look like a total moron, or are you really that unfamiliar with the Beatles? IDIOT!! Lennon is rolling over! not sure | Reviewer: kelvin ------ About the song Michelle performed by The Beatles yes this song is a beautiful song but i think ringo starr actually song this song.i`m not sure what the spanish words mean though maybe somebody could tell me. if they are spanish or what? not sure Blackbird | Reviewer: Thomas ------ About the song Blackbird performed by The Beatles Hey, Glanost. I think you are one of the most ignorant people I've ever witnessed. Blackbird is a song about civil rights. Its a beautiful song about being free from discrimination. Clearly, you did not get the memo. The Beatles were fantastic musicians and maybe you should get your head out of your ass long enough to realize it. Thanks. being incapable | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nowhere Man performed by The Beatles The song to me tlks about the incapacity of us all to take our life in our own hands and making peronal plans instead of "plans for nobody". He is a "real" nowhere man. He is a real man who simply does not know where he belongs. He does not even know himself and his potential! I believe this is a strong invite to everybody totake life in our own hands: making plans and living them all, stand up and create something instead of sitting there and being "nobody". A very deep and wise song! Ahh! | Reviewer: Mandi ------ About the song Dear Prudence performed by The Beatles Honestly, I'm 16 and I've grown up listening to the beatles. But of course I like the movie. If you don't like the way the movie displays the music then don't watch nor listen to it. It's not like someones making you. Listen to the version you like and leave everyone else to their opinion, goodness! A Mockery | Reviewer: Abhijit Banerjee ------ About the song I Am the Walrus performed by The Beatles Whoever posted these lyrics is obviously deaf or does not understand English. There are more errors than I can possibly count. "I am John Lennon"??!!?? What's the matter with you? And how can anyone mistake the work "cornflake" for "bench" (2nd para 1st line). Ridiculous! I hope to God that John Lennon's ghost comes and strangles you in your sleep. But he's more forgiving than I am... so he probably won't. Damn!! And as for you Admins (if there are any) - how can you even allow these lyrics to remain on your site? I can see that I am not the first to comment on this. It's disgraceful that these lyrics are still there. I now know what site to not visit when I'm searching for lyrics. George blows away Lennon/McCartney in the end | Reviewer: P. Abidi ------ About the song Old Brown Shoe performed by The Beatles George at the very end was a better songwriter than McCartney's soft love songs and Lennon's dry wit. People are so stuck with Lennon/McCartney writing songs that they completely ignore the music part of any Beatles songs. There would have not been any memorable songs if George did not use his magic to fill in those gaps with his masterful strokes on the lead guitar. Yes each of the member's in it's own way contributed but somewhere in time George will be remembered for his brilliant song setup and musical collaboration in composing the songs we hear today and also his true to life writing. daddys song | Reviewer: alyssa ------ About the song Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da performed by The Beatles Alright from the time I can remember my daddy sang is to sleeo every night and this was my favorite song for him to sing to me .
