The video watched was All You Need Is Love by The Beatles
1.The song is saying that in order to have a good life, all you need is love. You just need to have someone who loves you, and who you love back. You don’t need to have materialistic things, such as designer clothes or huge houses, or a lot of money, all you need in life is love. It can be love from your family, friends, or someone special in your life.
2.The lyrics that speak to this perspective are
“All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.”
They speak to this perspective because they are summing up the whole idea of the song. Instead of making the song’s message complicated to understand, the line “all you need is love” is repeated throughout the whole song to help people understand that love is all you need to have a good life.
3.The images in this video support the theme of the song because in the video, the Beatles are surrounded by people who are most likely their family members, friends, or special people in their lives. There are also people walking around the room that the Beatles are in wearing signs that say something about love in them, which also is the point of the video.
4.Something interesting that I notice about this video is during the whole video, it only focuses on the Beatles and the people in this one room, and they are wearing the same outfits throughout the whole video. In most music videos, the singers change outfits in every different scene, or they’re moving around into different rooms. In this video, the people aren’t moving around into different rooms or changing outfits.

Very short and concise, a good and simple interpretation, much like the video, very simple and concise. I think your point in the end about costume changes and room changes isn't an artistic decision but a technological set back. Keeping in mind this video is from the 70s their options in terms of visual effects are limited
Rachel, at first i was going to disagree with you about the quotes you used, but then i realized that you're right. The Beatles wanted to keep the message simple. Love really is all you need, they don't need materialistic things. I also really like how you noticed that in most music videos the artist is constantly changing outfits but the Beatles keep the same outfits on throughout the whole video. This reaffirms the notion that you really don't need nice clothes or anything materialistic, Love is all you need.
