13 Underrated Beatles Songs You Should Definitely Give A Listen To

Tom Hanley

As one of the most well known bands in history, it's no surprise The Beatles wrote numerous top billboard hits during their short but impactful career. In less than 10 years, the wonderful band from Liverpool produced 13 albums, recording around 200 songs. Alongside their music, The Beatles proved to be influential in culture, fashion, and the music world entirely, paving the way of rock & roll for years to come.

My childhood was filled with love and exposure to The Beatles, considering my dad and mom absolutely love old rock & roll and wouldn't hear of their child being any other way, and today, they are without a doubt my favorite band as well. Many of The Beatles songs are easy to recognize and almost everyone can sing along to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Let It Be" but there are so many other songs that aren't given the credit for how great they actually are. I'm partial to every on of their songs and personally believe everyone should take the time to listen to all of The Beatles' songs, but for the sake of this article, I'll just list a few of the songs I think are absolutely genius, yet known by few people.

1. P.S. I Love You - Please Please Me (1962)

"Treasure these few words till we're together, keep my love forever, p.s. I love you"

2. If I Fell - A Hard Day's Night (1964)

"If I give my heart to you, I must be sure from the very start that you would love me more than her"

https://open.spotify.com/track/1hgvykolO4kBIEozATm...

3. And I Love Her- A Hard Day's Night (1964)

"A love like ours could never die, as long as I have you near me"

https://open.spotify.com/track/65vdMBskhx3akkG9vQl...

4. No Reply - Beatles For Sale (1964)

"If I were you I'd realize that I love you more than any other guy. And I'll forgive the lies that I heard before when you gave me no reply"

https://open.spotify.com/track/4ltC6PrqkTtpcRNi5lv...

5. I've Just Seen A Face - Help! (1965)

"Falling, yes I am falling, and she keeps calling, me back again"

https://open.spotify.com/track/788U1Sqej9M6c4iikuD...

6. Michelle - Rubber Soul (1965)

"Michelle, ma belle, these are words that go together well, my Michelle"

https://open.spotify.com/track/2B4Y9u4ERAFiMo13XPJ...

8. She's Leaving Home - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

"Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins, silently closing her bedroom door, leaving the note that she hoped would say more"

https://open.spotify.com/track/3PjMtNzwhDHqxoKudm6...

9. The Fool on the Hill - Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

"But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round"

https://open.spotify.com/track/6rHh8urosEFRI67xVa6...

10. Dear Prudence - The Beatles White Album (1968)

"The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you, dear prudence"

https://open.spotify.com/track/5NQYyej46WQkgCbnzGD...

11. Happiness is a Warm Gun - The Beatles White Album (1968)

"I need a fix 'cause I'm going down"

https://open.spotify.com/track/71LsKf3xISiOlY1mj7F...

12. Oh! Darling- Abbey Road (1969)

"When you told me, you didn't need me anymore. Well you know I nearly broke down and cried"

https://open.spotify.com/track/2mxByJWOajjiVsLWjNX...

13. Across the Universe- Let It Be (1970)

"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away, across the universe"

https://open.spotify.com/track/4dkoqJrP0L8FXftrMZo...

Of course, there are plenty more songs that are not listened to enough, but I hope you enjoyed these few and appreciate the band that impacted music history so much, a bit more :)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.
