Today I bring you another track that was part of the album Help! and, consequently, the film of the same name. These scenes in the video I'm showing you today were filmed in Avebury, England. It made me laugh to learn that it was very cold there and Ringo was freezing. You can see it on his face in the image. Of course, the others are too, but Ringo looks more comical and funny, especially since he was wearing a very funny cap, hahaha. The song is called "The Night Before" from 1965, a beautiful track.
The video vaguely shows the famous historical sculptures of Stonehenge, (This prehistoric monument is shown in greater detail in another song from the same film.) which reminded me of my second year of high school World History and Geography classes when the teacher referred to those monuments as ancient and very old sculptures, hahaha (remember that this film was shot in several countries).
On another note, I should mention that this song was written by the legendary Lennon-McCartney duo. We can hear Paul on lead vocals, also double-tracked, playing bass, while John and George provide backing vocals and play rhythm and lead guitar respectively (in the video, John plays an electronic piano, but in the song, he plays both instruments). The song was recorded at EMI Studios in London in mid-February 1965.
Many music critics, and I agree, consider this song a tribute to Motown-style singers, because long before they became famous, they performed songs by Black artists from both the Motown label and legendary jazz, rhythm and blues, and soul artists. I've always seen The Beatles as pioneers in many ways. However, before them, there was already a beginning, something already explored by many musicians and styles. That's why we see the phenomenon of them admiring many of their predecessors before they were famous, and many songs were recorded in honor of those predecessors. Then, after Beatlemania in 1964, even those same legendary artists were already seeking out and admiring the four long-haired lads from Liverpool. Amazing, isn't it?
This song's main theme is the heartbreak of a man whose partner has changed her mind overnight. Here, they include romantic disillusionment, indifference, and a lack of love, when before it was the complete opposite: a broken love that was believed to be sincere but never was.
Hello my dear community, I hope you enjoyed this review, made with much love for you all. Wishing you a happy weekend, we'll see each other soon, read and comment... Hugs to all... Blessings...!!!
