Favourite Song By The Beatles

[andyh]

Mine has to be In My Life

[zazen999]

I don't have a fave as I grew up listening to them all....

And fave album - tis difficult as we had the USA versions [as I lived in Canada as a child] and when I hear the UK versions of the albums they are all wrong.

Which means I can't actually play the CDs either, I prefer to stick to the old original vinyl.

When I got in the car this morning 'Back in the USSR' was on the radio - love that one too!! The White Album is probably my favourite. I wasn't really fond of the early 'yeah yeah yeah' stuff - although my first ever record was a Beatles EP of that sort!

They were just before my time but I do like "Paperback Writer"

[lindyloo]

I am definatley not of the beatles' generation - I was born in 1986!!

But I adore them - I am a muscian myself and they are one of the biggest influences on my music. I remember listening to them when I was really young and being amazed, and inspired.

Across the Universe is my favourite, I love the poetics of the lyrics, it takes me somewhere far away yet somewhere 20 years ago when life was much less stressful and much more innocent

Its bizarre, I know most of their tunes inside out, and know where they are placed in musical history, but their 'sound' makes me feel nostaligic for somewhere I've never been, and I don't know weither I have been there in a previous life or weither I'm nostalgic for the 60's as I am a massive hippy, haha! Definatley my mothers child! And my mum, really, is beyond the beatles genre, having been born mid 60's! So must be my grandmother

I have lots of tattoos and have had plans for yearrrs now to have either some lyrics from Across the Universe tattoo'ed on me or to find someone who can put that song into pictures...Ive tried but I can't draw fractals and mental Hindu incarnations in 1million colours!

I love some of the imagery in that, but for me the best bit is
"limitless undying love that shines around me like a million suns and calls me on and on across the universe".
When you think about it, so many of the songs pick up on the image of Love as a force for good (otherwise not nearly as common in music as ROMANTIC love) and that is one of the things that brings me back to their music again and again, along with the complex instrumental 'bits' like the trumpet bits in "Penny Lane" (as the one that springs to mind readily).
I enjoy songs which have words I can identify with (even if those words are only a few in the song). Revolution has "if you want money for people with minds that hate, all I can tell you is Brother you'll have to wait!"
