Time to finally reveal my favourite Beatles song which happens to be my favourite song of all time (in English). So here it is:
«In My Life», from the 1965 Rubber Soul album is a song primarily written by John Lennon. And although I always preferred Paul’s songs, this one is an exception and in my opinion, the best song John ever wrote, (and yes, including «Imagine»).
Possibly Paul created most of the melody, that is what he has said and I tend to believe that as he was certainly more skilled in music than John. And George Martin did the piano interlude. And yes, it is a piano, sped up in the recording and not a harpsichord.
Always loved this song and I think it is a song that most of us can relate to. The lyrics are a poem. The words speak simply and clearly, without mystifying adjectives or metaphors, without enigmatic phrase constructions or elaborate language. He tells it like it is and I think he hit the mark perfectly. When I die, I want this song to be played in my funeral and I would dedicate it to all my loved ones and to all those who loved me.
Cheers…

Very well said Malc! There may be many years behind us, before us, God only knows, but the places we’ve seen and tithings we’ve done will remain with us forever. Have a great night.

That’s so nice to hear, Sir!
To be honest, my father keeps telling the same story about The Beatles over and over again, their history and life in UK, their travels. I don’t what to say. I would only nod and say ah and oh. 😁😁😁

The Beatles are for me, heads and shoulders above all else in music. They have been my source of inspiration always and as well I learned to speak English with their songs! 😊 Your father has great taste in music Adelheid! 😁

Thank you, Sir! 😊
He does! At 71, he still knows their songs by heart. 🥰 He sings. He also plays the drums, trombone, flute and trumpet. 😁
