My favorite album is actually an ecclectic compilation – Beatles Love Songs. I first owned it as a cassette tape in the early 80s. I searched for the CD as an adult and resorted to finding the songs and re-creating it digitally for my own nostalgic listening pleasure. The Beatles were my first love as a child, they comforted me and crooned to me. They taught me beat and rhythm and melody. Yesterday was sad longing, I’ll Follow the Sun was confidence…every crush I ever had had his own Beatles song, in my mind. Everyone I loved was ‘In My Life’ at their own moment. I wanted to be She’s Leaving Home….I was the girl in Norweigan Wood, leaving boys in the bathtub while I went to work. I learned the most important lessons about love and life from the Beatles – You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away / All You Need is Love, Can’t Buy Me Love/ Money, That’s What I Want. There’s a duality and a flipside to every situation you encounter in life, and in love. But It’s Only Love…

Yesterday. Something about the way it sounds is moving emotionally more than a lot of other Beatles songs

My favorite Beatles’ song, has to be what is, in my opinion, their masterpiece, It’s All Too Much. George’s voice and John’s guitar, along with all the feedback and sound experimentation.

‘In My Life.’ I was going to play it (guitar & sing) to my wife in the middle of our wedding, but I was too nervous. By the time the liquid courage kicked in, I was a little too sloppy to make it through an impromptu rehearsal with one of my groomsmen. I ended up playing it in the limo after the wedding though, which was just as special.

If we’re going Beatles related, it would be ‘Beautiful Boy’ I was born shortly after Lennon’s murder and was named partly in tribute to him and his son (Sean, which means John in Irish). My father, who passed early, used to play it (guitar & sing also, much better than I ) that song to me all the time was I was a youngin’ and it gets me every time I hear it.

BTW, I just stumbled onto this blog and it’s already one of my favorite sites!

“HELP!” because in that song, the Beatles cry out for help in a catchy tune. I almost want to reach out and help! (My closely following 2nd place song is “I Am The Walrus” because it’s so random and meaningful at the same time)

“In My Life”. When you can assign several wonderful memories to one song, you know it’s special. This one’s mine. Followed by “Ticket To Ride” and “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”.

[...] The Beatles Lithograph Contest at Pretty Much Amazing! That is the song that got me into The Beatles, and it really isn’t a standout song, focusing more on Paul, who is also my favorite Beatle. But Revolver is also the one Beatles album that I feel meld their early collection with their [...]

Damn~

It’s hard to say which Beatle’s song is the best, in my opinion.. It changes all they time.. I suppose one of my favorite albums from the Beatles is Revolver.
1 I love the art work.
2. I love Eleanor Rigby, it’s so British i love the strings. Macca’s vocals. The song tells a story…not some crap vocals put together – like some music made today.
3.She Said, for it’s guitar riffs are off the hook! John’s voice amazing I’m Only Sleeping – It just effin rawks It makes me happy! catching lyrics. ” Everybody seems to think I’m lazy-I don’t mind I think their crazy” lol
4.Here there & Everywhere- freakin genius -poetic…
5. For No One-haunting and the hopsicord brings it all together, not to mention the vocals & lyrics
These are some of my reasons The Beatles the most important, Brilliant band of OUR time!~

Lately I can’t get “I’m so tired” out of my head, but ultimately “Help!” has the most lasting value for me.

“Because” – for a memory inspired, in part, by a (psychelically-influenced) viewing of Cirque du Soleil’s “Love”, and the concomitant remixing of the song. Pardon my cliché:

She and I are enveloped in wilderness – warm blue air, painted clouds, trees. The grass feels as soft as her hair. Nothing is agitated… nor is anything static.

Silence and time flow through the space, each more fluidly than the other.

Suddenly the ground begins to sing. As if the Earth were humming, sounds emanate from branch and slope, Gaia sings, and it says:

Because the world is round… because the sky is blue… because the wind is high…

It blows my mind.

Is there such a thing as an obscure Beatles song? I think we’ve collectively poured over their back catalog so extensively that no such wonder exists.

As for me, it’s definitely ‘Girl’.

My favorite song and the first Beatles song I remember hearing is Across The Universe. It is the most poetic piece of art I have ever experienced.

“We Can Work It Out.” When I was really young, I remember my dad playing nothing but the Beatles for me on my way to Kindergarden and lower school. I remember singing this song in particular with him on the way there, and now whenever I hear it, I always reminisce about what was a bright, innocent time, and something I’ve always related The Beatles with.

I love the way the song ebbs and flows, but never loses it momentum with that intense tambourine, and I also love the way John’s middle section (“Life is very short…”) is the perfect foil for Paul’s sunny optimism.

Now, 15 years later, whenever I put on that song, I feel like a kid again.

Happiness is a Warm Gun. I had two phases of Beatle exploration and appreciation. First, as the son of an avowed rocker (every Hendrix, the Who, Beatles, Rolling Stones vinyl providing a landscape of discovery to 8 year old me, stacked in a bookshelf in our living room)(my dad playing his guitar, giving me Chocolate Watchmen tapes to listen to), I was exposed explicitly to the Beatles early on. My two favorite cartoons were TMNT & Yellow Submarine. But it wasn’t till late in high school, when I’d long abandoned the classics for punk, metal, and such, that I finally went back and listened to The Beatles with a developed sense of music, and I was able to fall in love all over again. The beautiful harmonies, rockin’ guitars, and underlying venom and sardonic commentary, – Happiness is a Warm Gun perfectly captured, for me, the legitimation of rock n roll as art.
