The Beatles, probably one of the most recognized bands in the music history.
Since 1962 the band was composed by John Lennon (guitar/vocals), Paul McCartney (bass/vocals), George Harrison (guitar/vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums/vocals).
Initially, the first band formation were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums).
Their status and recognition made them being commonly refereed about their phenomenon on the press as "Beatlemania".
The first Beatles hit success was "Love Me Do" beginning in this way, one of the most talked bands until nowadays.
On their first years, The Beatles built their reputation on Liverpool and Hamburg pubs. But during that time, in 1961, Pete Best decided to leave the band and he was replaced by Ringo Starr on the next year.
The band work intensively until 1966, break up in 1970. Each member pursuit a solo career. John Lennon was killed in 1980 by a fan and George Harrison died of cancer in 2001. Only McCartney and Starr are still alive and working.
The critics consider their album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has one of the best Beatles album and is usually referred as a master piece.
They were honored with 8 Grammy Awards and 15 Ivor Novello Awards. They are part of Time's Magazine Top List of the 100 most influence people from the XX Century.
With 13 released albums: Please Please Me (1963), With the Beatles (1963), A Hard Day's Night (1964), Beatles for Sale (1964), Help! (1965), Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), Magical Mystery Tour (1967), The Beatles [also known as "White Album"] (1968), Yellow Submarine (1969), Abbey Road (1969) and Let It Be (1970), besides several compilations and re-releases.
Paperback Writer appears the side A from the single "Rain", later appearing on some The Beatles compilations like Hey Jude or The Beatles 1962-1966.
Paperback Writer was written by McCartney/Lennon but the original idea was from McCartney and it's one of the few songs that don't talk about love, but "a letter from an aspiring author addressed to a publisher. The author badly needs a job and has written a paperback version of a book by a "man named Lear." (...) a reference to the Victorian painter Edward Lear, who wrote nonsense poems and songs of which Lennon was very fond (though Lear never wrote novels)." as we can see on wikipedia.
There are several theories about it, one is that McCartney got an inspiration from a letter sent by a fan, there is also another mention revealed by Paul himself on an interview in 2007: "recalled that he wrote the song after reading in the Daily Mail about an aspiring author". The Daily Mail was usually read by JohnLennon and it was possible to find many copies at his home, where he and McCartney wrote their songs.
"It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the daily mail
It's a steady job, but he wants to be a paperback writer"
I saw this music a few days ago in a friend's wall on facebook and remembered I used to like this song very much. (Remember when my computer died and I lost all my musics? Breaking Benjamin's disappeared.)
Breaking Benjamin is an American rock band that includes Benjamin Burnley, Aaron Fink, Mark Klepaski and Chad Szeliga. They have four albums to date and this song is the first single released from their third album, Phobia.
I don't rememebr quite well the rest of their musics (I used to listen to one of their albums quite a lot) but wiki says they are Nu Metal, therefore I would say this one of their "popest" rock songs.
There are three different versions, the original version, the album version and the acoustic version. The original version was released with as the first single and was the track used for the video (I guess this one is the original) but this is the only one not featued on the album. "It maintains almost no difference from the album version, with an exception of the ending fading out on a lower note along with other minor differences."
Desperate, I will crawl, waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone, what have I become? Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
As I was writting this post I started to listen to another song from Phobia, that I already knew , called 'Breath', much stronger, pretty good. And I still remember 'Rain' a bit melancholic and soft, but probably along with 'The Diary of Jane' my fave from them.
