I'd like to think I was delivered by Doctor Robert, but I was about 5 years too early
back on thread, Revolver to me is their masterpiece. To think they went from "She Loves You" to "Tomorrow Never Knows" in just a few years is astounding
The cynic in me suggests that such rapid progress was down to different sorts of drugs than musicians traditionally used.back on thread, Revolver to me is their masterpiece. To think they went from "She Loves You" to "Tomorrow Never Knows" in just a few years is astounding
Seeing as I started this thread I thought I'd better chip back in.
I'm having a beer today, the other half has gone out and is staying at her sisters so it's any music I like blaring through the house via Spotify.
I intended to have a good trawl though the Beatles stuff I'm unsure of and settling in sensibly in a way that reflects well upon a man of my advancing years. However, I've only got as far as blasting Back In The USSR and I Saw Her Standing There at light bulb melting volume and jumping around like a demented idiot.
Christ I love this band. in a way I'm glad it took me all this time to get them. It's like I've loved every type of music throughout my whole life and am finally discovering why.

My 8yo daughter and I listened to the White Album yesterday (whilst playing chess -how cultured ). I'm having a beer today, the other half has gone out and is staying at her sisters so it's any music I like blaring through the house via Spotify.

It really is very good. She liked it too.
Jake Lizzio has, for some time, been my "go to" for music theory on guitar and here is his take on a complex Beatles progression:-

Sorry to take this OT, quote reminded me, day i was born Help! was Number 1. Nurses all gathered round me as i was in the words of my Dad - covered head to foot in hair like a chimp.

Totally O/T, but the day I was born, "Please, Please Me" was number 1 in the charts. I was born with a full head of dark hair (The ugliest baby you'd ever see) and the nurses from all over the hospital came to marvel at "The Beatle" in the maternity ward
there are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more.
By far my favourite Beatles Song and lyrics that mean so much to many many people I would imagie

A few years back I paid a visit to the British Library and there was an exhibition of autograph documents. amongst them was a piece of paper with the lyrics of In My Life, handwritten by Lennon, and presumably rescued from the recording session.... In my life-- I love you more.

There was more than one extra verse that never appeared on the final recording!
I wish I had made a note of them. Can't remember them now.
Also my favourite Beatles song.
Edited to add that I just found the Wikipedia article on this song, and it has a photo of the very piece of paper, and the missing lines. The song as originally conceived is clearly a relative of Penny Lane.

From a friend in France in an e-mail yesterday,
"Zoe is learning English from Beatles songs - think her teacher must be a fan! This week it was "You say hello, I say goodbye". She's quite good too, not bad for a 7-year-old. Pity she didn't learn "When I'm 64", she could have serenaded her grandfather on Sunday."

“Michelle” must be a tad confusing!? "Zoe is learning English from Beatles songs - think her teacher must be a fan! This week it was "You say hello, I say goodbye".

Get the feeling it was about the time when they Left Liverpool for London and beyond it must resonate with so many people of a certain age every time I hear it I think they have written that song just for me .There was more than one extra verse that never appeared on the final recording!
