Finally. Some music that I actually have listened to before and really enjoy. I'm so glad this day has arrived. We even listened to four songs by the Beatles in class last week. Was I sad about that? Absolutely not. In fact, for this week's blog, I selected another Beatles song - "In My Life".
Firstly, it amazes me how many great songs the Beatles were able to produce. Decades later, I'm pretty sure the majority of people are familiar with some of their songs. Anyways, I really enjoyed this song. If you can't tell, I pretty much enjoy all songs by the Beatles.
This specific song sort of evokes a nostalgic feel - as they sing about places and people from the past. But then the song transitions to more of a love song, as the lyrics focus on a certain individual. I think it's cool how the song relates people and relationships as one's life moves forward. It is broad enough of a theme that I think it is very relatable.
The singing is easily recognizable as the Beatles, with great harmonies and tones. The instruments do not play too big of a role, though there are times when the singing dies down and the only sound comes from the musical instruments. I feel like this contributes to the song as well. Overall, a very beautiful song and one of my favorites from this great band. Honestly it was hard to just choose one, since they have so many good songs. Sorry Drake, but you don't have more 'slaps' than the Beatles.
