I read the news today, oh boy… about ‘The Beatles’… Why on Earth all tragic events revolve around artists? I asked myself where I have been taunted with an echo. Few days ago when my strawberry fields dried away, I drifted along to the shore to pluck few seeds to reap them all over again… Strawberry fields forever… Ah, that’s a lovely thought to make a note of…
Coming to my random pick for the content, will be of my choice where you lovely readers may contribute or share your views in the box you see below.
Perhaps, it’s not as easy as one may think when it comes to write for this band. A day in my life is not just enough to select the songs I prefer to mention in here. Oh dear, it’s infinite…
When we move along with beats of sixties, all we see, all we hear is… The Beatles…
My List:
==========
# A day in the life:
==========*
Although many talks about the idea behind writing this piece had been projected in many interviews, John Lennon has denied them all. Isn’t it fair enough to stop bothering about the inspiration behind those beautiful songs? Let me tell you, every song or every piece of note that we read is truly based on inspiration. It could be in the form of love, hatred or the problems that arise due to which communication breakdown.
Why do I like this song?
I like it. I just like it. I just like it for its simple melodious beat. By the way I really like the part when he sings ‘I love to t-u-r-n y-o-u on’.

# And I love her:
=========
I give her all my love… That’s all I do… And if you saw my love… You’d love her too. I love her… She gives me everything… And tenderly… <<< I love this track for its simple yet heart throbbing lines.
======
# Yesterday:
======*
I like this track not because…,
Guinness Book of Records <<< Most cover versions of any song ever written…
MTV & Rolling Stone Magazine <<< Voted #1 pop song of all time…
Paul McCartney <<< Not because he sang…
Break-up <<< Not because it was written about a break-up…
But,
I love this track like how you love listening to Beethoven and Mozart.

# Hey Jude:
====== *
Well, there is something about this song… There is something about music. You got to avoid reading their background, like how or what the inspiration behind it is. This track was penned down by Paul McCartney for John Lennon’s older son Julian during his parent’s divorce. Now, that’s a tragic scene yet it entertains millions of souls swimming in the same bowl… for… some quality music.
I love this track not because…,
Nine weeks at number one position <<< It spent
500 Greatest Songs <<< It appeared # 8
Apple Records <<< First single from ‘The Beatles’ record label
But,
For the care and concern Paul McCartney showed towards Julian Lennon. He was stressed out due to his parent’s divorce and the song was composed when Paul McCartney went back in the car.

# Let it be/ A hard day’s night/ Rain/ Eleanor Rigby.

The lists are endless… While my keyboard gently weeps to add more songs on to this list, George Harrison is melodiously singing in the play list… Strawberry fields forever… I’m off to the field… and I’ll gaze through the fields for more of them… Beatles are eternal… Oh well… BEATLEMANIA!
