Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of teh Beatles performing Help from Blackpool Night Out, ABC Theatre, Blackpool, United Kingdom in honor of the fact that on August 5, 1965 - The Beatles were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Help!' the group's eighth consecutive UK No.1 single.

Song background from azlyrics.com/lyrics/beatles/help.html
" The lyrics of this song represent John Lennon's stress because of the quick rise to fame. In 1980 he told Playboy, "I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for help.".
John Lennon wrote this song as a slow one, but the tempo was changed during production for the sake of being commercially friendly. "

Help!" written by John Winston Lennon Paul James McCartney

Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!

(When) When I was younger (When I was young) so much younger than today
(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now) But now these days are gone (These days are gone) and I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?

(Now) And now my life has changed (My life has changed) in oh so many ways
(My independence) My independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But) But ev'ry now (Every now and then) and then I feel so insecure
(I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now) But now these days are gone (These days are gone) and I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?

Help me, help me
Ooh"
