Is it me, or is a lot of their music actually unbelievably depressing?

the white album made me want to kill myself because i was so bored, so it's not just you

>>72457839
I'm a huge fan, but a lot of their music has a strange, almost imperceptible edge of darkness to it.

they were amazing songwriters,
but yeah their shit usually makes me depressed....
not sure if it's because I'll never write a song as good as theirs,
or if the music is just plain old depressing to hear.

WE ALL LIVE IN THE YELLOW SUBMARINE

It's pretty melancholy. Abbey Road is like level ten bleak IMO, but it's also beautiful. I think a lot of Beatles haters don't see the sorrow in their music.

>>72457923
Describe the bleakness you sense in Abbdy Road.

>>72457821
Everything from the 60s is depressing, because they lived in genuine fear of The Bomb.

>COOL CHERRY CREAM, NICE APPLE TART
yeah, had to pop a xanny after that gut punch

>>72457821

the two primary songwriters lost their mothers. john always seemed like a negative guy in general.

>Happiness is a warm gun, bang bang, shoot shoot

I USE TO BE CRUEL TO MY WOMAN I BEAT HER AND KEPT HER AWAY FROM THE THINGS THAT SHE LOVED MAN I WAS MEAN BUT IM CHANGING MY SCENE

>>72457839
dude
fuck the Beatles
LMAO

THE FACT THAT

>>72458106
Plastic Ono band is emo.

>>72457821
literally who?

Yeah, their studio period is pretty dark, even compared to Pet Sounds. In terms of existential happiness, I'd put the White Album at the bottom, with Sgt. Pepper's above it, and maybe Revolver next. MMT was their lone wolf super happy album of the time. And Two of Us is the saddest song in their catalog.

Eleanor Rigby made me kinda sad tbqh

I'm a lonely person...

Oh come on, they're not really as dark as you describe them to be. I mean, I get that they do have a lot of "sad" stuff, but none of it is really that sad.

>>72459937
This, a lot of the sadness on their albums arises from circumstance or relationship drama, though its not like say Closer which has a clear suicidal edge or Deathconsciousness which debates existence in a very bleak manner.

>>72457869
I think it's mad man's fault. He was the edgiest and darkest of the bunch.

>>72459392
>even compared to Pet Sounds
Smiley Smile is darker than PS.

>>72460836
Most of Harrison's songs are on a spiritually melancholic level though.

>Try to realize it's all within yourself, no-one else can make you change
>And to see you're really only very small
>And life flows on within you and without you

>We were talking
>About the love that's gone so cold
>And the people
>Who gain the world and lose their soul
>They don't know, they can't see
>Are you one of them?

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know, and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You shout aloud

>>72457869
It's because they probably made a pact with the devil. You can't be this ridiculously popular just like that. The same thing with Bowie, Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones.

For no one makes me sad and scares me because it's about one of my worst fears.

Depressing? Shit like Mother is depressing. The Beatles never got passed melancholic

Your Mother Should Know always makes me sad.

>Let's all get up and dance to a song
>That was a hit before your mother was born

Hi /x/

>>72459392
>MMT was their lone wolf super happy album of the time
how the fuck did you arrive at that conclusion

>>72461057
This is one of their happiest songs though.

>>72457869
I'm So Tired and Revolution 9 are scary desu

>>72457821
I've never heard a single beatles album.
Can you guys rec me a depressed / sad one

>>72462593
Revolver

>>72457821
True. But theres also a black sense of humour.

>>72462524
There are a lot of people who makes pacts with devils of all kinds and sorts, including those who tries to and sometimes inadvertently and sometimes intentionally do make one with the existential glorious one himself.

>>72457923
I think a lot of it has to do with over saturation. I think the Beatles music itself is decent enough for the most part. I'm just tired of hearing how fucking amazing they are.

>>72463652
>decent enough for the most part
