John Lennon and Because

I came across this interesting video about John Lennon and his inspiration behind his song Because. What does John Lennon and Beethoven have in common?

If you were to compare John Lennon to a great classical composer, my choice would be Beethoven too because they both instilled so much emotion in their music. Music changed forever after the Beatles as it did 250 years ago after Beethoven.

Another emotional Beatles Lennon song. This one could have been written by any of the great classical composers, so elegant, beautiful, and moving.

In honour of John Lennon, so much beauty injected into the world by Mona and Lisa:

Hi Jung, well maybe I’m a bit late with my answer to your topic, but the two videos (Beethoven, „Because“ and John Lennon / How The Beatles made Because) are really interesting and above all very clearly explained. Yes, John Lennon and The Beatles have gone through an insane evolution. Much has already been written, more has been shown and discussed, but to summarize the phenomenon of The Beatles in 7:20 minutes, I find remarkable. Exactly the time you need to enjoy a good “Light Tea” and „Scones”. It’s not the length of the moment, but the depth of the moment.

Hi Jurgen. Great video. Thanks for chiming in here. In 7 minutes it shows how the Beatles transformed pop/rock from a mere niche style of music that appealed to some young kids in North America and England, into something that would appeal to people of all ages and nationality, in every corner of the world, for generations to come and possibly forever.

Let's stay in touch!
