Song

“Get Back” is a song by the English group The Beatles. This song was released on the album Let it be in 1969. The song is about a girl and a boy who left their family home. Through this song, they are asked to get back home. (Hence the title “Get back”).

Group

If we had to define this type of music, we could say that it was more or less a pop group because the famous British band wanted to create a new musical style which would sound typically British.

Unfortunately, two out of four members of the group are dead now… but the Beatles are more than ever one of the most famous bands of the 20^th century, no doubts about it.

Berry and Little Richard among others. Indeed, they did confess several times that Rock’n’roll music had a great influence on their way of playing. They essentially focused on melody and harmony in their songs.

One cannot talk about this group without mentioning their dress code and hairstyle which became basic at the time... and still are nowadays we must confess! Have a look at this picture to get a glimpse of the time...

Times

As you may remember, the song itself dealt with two persons who leave their family home. The song ALSO dealt with the immigration of the decade. Indeed, don't forget that at the time, when the song was released, the English had trouble finding work. That's why they emigrated.

The 60s was definitely the time of Revolution, time of Pop Rock music and the Beatlemania. Indeed, the teenagers went clearly mad about the Beatles: for each concert, many girls immediately fainted when they saw them. They were uncontrollable (as you can see on the picture above!).
