The story behind
The song Sea of Holes, with a duration of 2:20, is part of the album Yellow Submarine, released in late 1969. This record accompanied the animated film of the same name, which premiered in London in June 1968. Within this album, Sea of Holes joins other compositions by The Beatles. Some of these, such as Yellow Submarine and All You Need Is Love, had already appeared previously as singles. In fact, Yellow Submarine was on the 1966 album Revolver, while All You Need Is Love was a 1967 single that was later included on the American album Magical Mystery Tour. The rest of the material on Yellow Submarine corresponds to the orchestral music for the film, arranged by George Martin.
The Beatles, originally from Liverpool, consolidated themselves as a rock band during the 1960s. Their career, marked by unprecedented commercial and critical success, was cemented with a stable lineup since 1962: John Lennon on rhythm guitar and vocals, Paul McCartney on bass and vocals, George Harrison on lead guitar and vocals, and Ringo Starr on drums and vocals. Their beginnings were nourished by the skiffle and rock and roll of the fifties, but they soon explored a wide range of genres, from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, integrating classical elements in an innovative way. The band, which initially had five members including Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best, forged its reputation in the clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg from 1960. After Sutcliffe's departure and Best's replacement by Starr, the band found in Brian Epstein their manager, laying the groundwork for their musical potential.
