I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
----------------------------------
My obsession with The Beatles began a long, long time ago. I am convinced that I listened to them in the womb, because I have been pretty attached ever since I can remember. When I was little I would dance around my dad's office like a maniac and tumble on a thick blue somersault mat listening to The Sgt. Pepper's album over and over again....I'm talking the actual record people, not the cassette tape. This is true love. "When I'm Sixty-Four" stands out the most in my memory during those dance sessions, but probably because it was the catchiest.
I am not a fair-weathered fan. I have stayed true all these years. I try not to flaunt my enthusiasm for them too much in fear of being the annoying girl. Although I have had to resist the ever-daunting temptation of buying the "I Miss the Beatles" bumper sticker.
"Blackbird" sounds pretty repetitive when you just hear it....but actually listen and it will change your life. "Eleanor Rigby"...what? Insane! I'll just go ahead and be stereotypical when I mention "Hey Jude", "Here Comes the Sun", "The Long and Winding Road", and one of the greatest written songs in the universe, "Yesterday". Oh. my. God.
The reason I decided to take a break from my "senses" rant and blog on The Beatles is because I heard "Penny Lane" on the radio the other day and honestly could not remember the last time I had heard such a good song on the radio. Sometimes I'll catch some old Oasis or something that gets me going but hearing PL totally made me realize how today's music is shit. Except JM...don't you worry, that will never change.

"And in the end
the love you take
is equal to the
love you make"
