I is for In My Life

Apr10

I’ve been looking forward to mentioning In My Life.  It is one of my favorite songs, and I consider it one of the most beautiful songs ever written.  Below I’ve also included videos of I’m Looking Through You and If I Fell for the heck of it.

In My Life

The Beatles

Rubber Soul (1965)

There are places I remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some forever not for better

Some have gone and some remain

 

All these places had 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

C is for Can’t Buy Me Love

Apr3

Can’t Buy Me Love may not be my favorite Beatles song, but it is an important one.  The entire soundtrack – and movie – A Hard Day’s Night is classic.  The video below is just a fun, tiny taste of an entire movie of great music, fun antics, and classic comedy.

Can’t Buy Me Love

 1964

John Lennon/Paul McCartney

Can’t buy me love, love

Can’t buy me love

I’ll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I’ll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
‘Cause I don’t care too much for money
For money can’t buy me love

I’ll give you all I’ve got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I’ve got I’ll give to you
I don’t care too much for money
For money can’t buy me love

Can’t buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can’t buy me love
No no no, no

Say you don’t need no diamond rings
And I’ll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can’t buy
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love

Can’t buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can’t buy me love
No no no, no

Say you don’t need no diamond rings
And I’ll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can’t buy
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love

Can’t buy me love, love
Can’t buy me love, oh

Can’t Buy Me Love is also a classic 1980s teen movie, using the original Lennon/McCartney song.  I have to admit, as a very young child, I was a fan.  Check out 80s tech in the trailer below.

Just Because: Change By The Lightning Seeds

Feb12

Lightning Seeds – Change (1994)

Artist: Lightning Seeds

Album: Jollification

The world is full of fools
who never get it right
You don’t know what to do
so you do anything you like

[put your foot down and drive]
Oh you’re a silly thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You’re such a pretty thing
[put your foot down and drive]

You’re never going to be like all those fools
You’re coming out tonight
There’s nothing to lose
You’re going to give it all a try

Don’t ever change
Don’t ever change [never change]
No never change [never change]
Never change
[don’t ever change]

The world is full of fools
take wisdom to the wise
And thank your lucky stars
for coming out tonight

[put your foot down and drive]
Oh you’re a silly thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You’re such a pretty thing
[put your foot down and drive]

Don’t ever change
Don’t ever change [never change]
No never change [never change]
Never change
[don’t ever change]

When tearful eyes
Are open wide
They’re still to blind to see
A change in style
For a little while
Is only make believe

[put your foot down and drive]
Oh you’re a silly thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You’re such a pretty thing
[put your foot down and drive]

You’re never satisfied
So look for something new
There’s nothing to hide
And nothing you can do

Don’t ever change
Don’t ever change [never change]
No never change [never change]
Never change
[don’t ever change]

Oh you fool you’ve got me started
Oh you fool you’ve got me started
Oh you fool you’ve got me started
[Don’t you ever change]
Oh you fool you’ve got me started
[Don’t you ever change]

December 1980

Dec11

9th December 1980 « Ding!

I came across a moving blog post discussing the murder of John Lennon on December 8, 1980 and the Beatles in general.  December 8, 1980 is a date that will always stay with me.  It was the day I was supposed to be born.  As a Beatles fan, I am so grateful that my birthday is ten days later – December 18, 1980.  As strange as it sounds, I never knew a world in which John Lennon wasn’t practically worshipped.  By the time I was into music, the Beatles had long ago broken up, Paul McCartney had already achieved success with Wings and his solo career, and John Lennon accomplished everything he could with his solo career due to his untimely death.

In fact, I’ve always wondered when it happened.  When did the Beatles go from being just another rock-n-roll band, four guys playing in the Cavern Club in Liverpool, to icons that inspired all that came after?  I want to know.  Personally, I would’ve loved a front-row seat to Beatle-mania.

Actually, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know at least some Beatles music.  I also can’t remember a time when I didn’t love it.  When the Beatles Anthology came out during my high school years, inspiring a whole new generation of fans, I pretended to hate their music, something that belonged in childhood.  If something caught on in pop culture at that time in my life, I wanted nothing to do with it.  A mere five years later, I absorbed as much Beatles trivia as I could and actually listened to all of their albums.  I even watched the movies.  The entire experience left me in awe.  Why couldn’t my generation create something so extraordinary?  We were stuck with grunge and bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, and The White Stripes.  Good bands, but nothing coming close.

It was Beatles lyrics that made realize that lyrics could be poetry.  While not all song lyrics can stand alone, much of the Beatles catalog can.  People like to argue over who wrote what in the Lennon/McCartney catalog; I’m just glad that they were friends.

 Nowhere Man

Rubber Soul

Lennon/McCartney

1965

He’s a real Nowhere Man

Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man the world is at your command

He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man don’t worry
Take your time don’t hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man the world is at your command

He’s a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody
