Here’s another hit song from The Beatles. Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Hope you’ll enjoy this you all Beatlemania fans out there!

“IN MY LIFE”

“According to Lennon, the song’s origins can be found when English journalist Kenneth Allsop made a remark that Lennon should write songs about his childhood. Afterwards, Lennon wrote a song in the form of a long poem reminiscing on his childhood years. The original version of the lyrics was based on a bus route he used to take in LiverPool, naming various sites seen along the way, including Penny Lane and Strawberry Field.

However, Lennon found it to be “ridiculous”, calling it “the most boring sort of ‘What I Did On My Holidays Bus Trip’ song”; he reworked the words with Paul McCartney, replacing the specific memories with a generalized meditation on his past. “Very few lines” of the original version remained in the finished song. According to Lennon’s friend and biographer Peter Shotton, the lines “Some [friends] are dead and some are living/In my life I’ve loved them all” referred to Stuart Sutcliffe (who died in 1962) and to Shotton.

According to Lennon, McCartney supplied harmony and the “middle eight” or bridge section of the song. The section to which Lennon referred is unclear, as the song does not contain a recognizable bridge aside from a brief instrumental break. McCartney claimed he set Lennon’s lyrics to music from beginning to end, claiming that he wrote the whole melody but took inspiration from songs by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Of the disagreement, McCartney said, “I find it very gratifying that out of everything we wrote, we only appear to disagree over two songs”, the other being “Eleanor Rigby”.

I would love to watch The Beatles concert in a flat screen tv with a dolby surround sound system. Our tv is not lcd flat screen. I even have to find appropriate tv stands for our humble crt type television.
