Beatles 'Song Got To Get You Into My Life'
The Beatles middle period was when they started singing about more meaningful things and it was when they started to experiment with new styles. They had good music but it was all about double entendre, that’s when drugs had a big impact in their songs. For example, the song “Yellow submarine” this song was based on a drug pills, the song described a fantasy land and sound that was included was gushing water and bubbling sounds among others. Another song is “Got to Get You into My Life” I liked this song thinking that it was based on a person not a drug. In this song they added different type of instrument like trumpets and

    Why Did The Beatles Drug Use?

    The Beatles never really were the squeaky-clean boy band many Americans embraced 50 years ago on their debut tour of the United States, but their continued sampling and open use of drugs throughout the 1960s led many to think they tarnished their decent boys-next-door image.Only the most iconoclast of cultural critics will blame the band for single-handedly making drug use cool. Even prominent members of today's socially conservative movement say that they are lifelong fans who view the Beatles' drug use in a historical context, though some critics contend that it had a lingering impact. As early as 1961, the Beatles' drug odyssey was underway with habitual use of Preludin, a stimulant, during performances at clubs in Hamburg, Germany. There…

    The Beatles Influence On American Popular Culture

    The Sixties had been a witness to numerous historical events including the Vietnam War, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the Civil Rights Movement to name a few. However, it is also the year American popular culture experienced a watershed development as British groups gained popularity in the US and became significant to the transatlantic counterculture. This paper, while focusing on the forerunner of the British Invasion – the Beatles – provides an overview of the British Invasion and examines its impact on American popular music. In doing so, it investigates the success and historical significance of the invasion in the evolution of popular music.…

    Dbq 1968

    As 1968 rolled around the youth culture in the 50s that was marked by an air of perfection and conformity had virtually disappeared. The events of the Vietnam War inspired the “peace movement” with the “peace sign” becoming a major symbol of the 1960s counter-culture. Tensions were especially high regarding the war in Vietnam, race relations, women’s rights, roles of authority, experimentation with psychoactive drugs, and differing interpretations of the American Dream. First of all, the British band the Beatles were the beginning of new cultural forms, specifically music. They were strong advocates of peace, and their song “Revolution” was a popular criticism of the increasingly violent youth revolts. While that may have been positive, the Beatles also popularized the use of psychedelic drugs, such as marijuana and LSD, for example, in their hit “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The painting “Between Heaven and Hell” by Arlene Sklar-Wein demonstrates this interest specifically after a hallucinogenic experience. The use of drugs was just another way for the youth to “stick it to the man”. One of the most famous student rebellions…

    1960's

    Music has consistently been influenced by the trends of its time; reflecting the politics, economics, and life styles which exist. The baby boomer generation lived during a time when war had a powerful impact on everyone's life. Demonstrations, organizations, speeches, freedom chants, and drugs helped ease the pain of knowing that our American brothers and sisters were losing their lives in the fight at Vietnam. Drugs became, perhaps, one of the most influential variables apparent in the music of the 60s. In the early 1960s a band by the name of the Byrds and guys like Dylan changed the way many people looked at music. These bands started an underground wave that flowed throughout the 60s; this became known as the "Psychedelic Era." This era introduced drugs to be an important aspect involved in the creation of the music, and was used by the listeners to enhance their experience. Bands such as the Byrds and Grateful Dead started experimenting with such drugs as LSD, maurijana, and acid. They believed that drugs could help them create music that would blow the music of the 50s away, and it did!…

    The Beatles Influence On Rock And Roll Music

    The Beatles were so popular partially because of their use of so many different instruments, and song forms. Some of the instruments that they use include the kazoo, banjo, recorder, and Choral Electric Sitar. Their song Revolution#9 has many different instruments and techniques. It was also a very experimental song as well, because of all of the techniques used in it. They did this so they would get a different, and unusual sound unlike any other. One of the techniques they would use is called looping. Looping is when you take a certain tape or audio file and you repeat it so that it sounds like you’re just repeating that phrase over and over again. They played around with playing tracks backward and combined 7 or 8 different songs together into one…

    WWII: The Greatest Generation

    This was a time of change in music and even lifestyle. The rise of rock and roll developed through this time. Who would not want to live during this era. As the late fifties gave way to the early sixties, the famous rock stars such as The Everlys, Elvis, Roy Orbison, were still making historical hits, but the older music stars were losing popularity as they struggled to find musical material that would connect with this new and energetic generation of kids. Rock music became controlled by new young groups, taking their power from a combination of the performer's charisma along with the songwriting talents of the production team, who worked behind the scenes( "A BRIEF HISTORY OF POP AND ROCK MUSIC IN THE 1960'S."). The music we have today can be reflected off the music during this time. The music during WWII was old and boring, but the sixties gave rise to rock and roll which became very popular for a few decades. You cannot even deny that The Beatles are a bad band, do you wish you grew up with…

    The Legend Of Ringo Starr's In My Life

    Just as George had never explored the sitar before, Ringo Starr had never played so fiercely — "Drive My Car" looms large in his legend, up there with "Rain." (Listen to him in the last bar before the chorus — every time it rolls around, Ringo slays with something different.) His drumming on "In My Life" is pure brotherly empathy — it sounds like he's giving John the courage to push on to the next line. It's impossible to imagine "In My Life" without Ringo in it, which is just one of the reasons every cover version falls flat.…

    “Psychedelic music or acid rock—so named because listening to it could supposedly simulate the experience of a hallucinogenic "trip" without the use of chemicals. Psychedelic music was characterized by extremely high volume, deliberate electronic distortion, the use of synthesizers, extended instrumental improvisations or jams, and . . . the sitar” (Gustainis) . The Beatles were introduced to pills in 1961, cannabis in 1964 and LSD shortly after. Their fans were influenced greatly.…
