Re "My favourite Beatles song is Things We Said Today.": Ye gods! That's my favourite Beatles' song also! McCartney's love lyric to Jane Asher. We are obviously two very advanced human beings.
Lennon and Co later grew embarrassed about the cheesy love songs they'd written and set about expanding the themes they engaged with. I'm glad they did as they've left us such a fantastic catalogue to enjoy but in my (not-so-humble) opinion "Love" is always the best topic for a pop song and in Things We Said Today Paul really nailed it. You say you will love me If I have to go You'll be thinking of me Somehow I will know. Someday when I'm lonely Wishing you weren't so far away Then I will remember Things we said today. You say you'll be mine, girl Till the end of time These days such a kind girl Seems so hard to find. Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said today. Me, I'm just the lucky kind Love to hear you say that love is luck And though we may be blind Love is here to stay and that's enough To make you mine, girl Be the only one. Love me all the time, girl We'll go on and on. Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said today. Me, I'm just the lucky kind Love to hear you say that love is luck. Though we may be blind Love is here to stay and that's enough To make you mine, girl Be the only one.

My whole being kind of perked up and payed attention. It was such a different sound from any other popular music of the time. But I really liked it.

Goose bumps!": The Beatles' I Wanna Hold Your Hand was released in October 63. Twelve months later The Kinks released All Day and All of the Night. How short the age of innocence! Shouldn't FFLifers be drawn to TM-themed tracks? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjq9LmSO1eI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjq9LmSO1eI ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote: I feel so lucky to have grown up in such an amazing time for music. I can still remember the first time I heard I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Goose bumps! But Motown was also wonderful during my teen years as well as the protest music.
