In this video, I break down exactly what made him such a unique and groundbreaking artist, looking at his melody, harmony, timing, studio craft, and cultural impact. From Help! to Imagine, from A Hard Day’s Night to Strawberry Fields Forever, Lennon’s songwriting was raw, inventive, and deeply personal. His horizontal melodies had a hypnotic, almost chant-like quality, making them inseparable from the chords underneath. His harmony choices—just listen to I Am the Walrus or A Day in the Life—were weird, wonderful, and completely unexpected. And when it came to timing, he never stuck to the rules, playing with time signatures and cutting bars short to keep things interesting. 🔍 What’s in this video? ✔️ Lennon’s signature horizontal melody style 🎶 ✔️ How his chord choices made his music so unique (I Am the Walrus, A Day in the Life) ✔️ The unexpected time signatures that kept us on our toes 🥁 ✔️ His studio innovations, from ADT to backwards audio ✔️ How his lyrics were brutally honest, poetic, and full of hidden meaning The script for this video contains all my own, words and ideas.
