When I was very young, there was a short period of time\u00a0where I thought there were\u00a0eight days in\u00a0a week.\u00a0Like many children of baby-boomers,\u00a0the music of The Beatles\u00a0was something that was always on, always there,\u00a0always playing in the background of my home and my life. Beatles love songs, Beatles oldies, you name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their music was such an everyday occurrence that it became a part of who I was in the same way my hometown, the toys I played with, or the friends I made became a part of who I was. The\u00a0melodies, the songs, the lyrics, they\u00a0all soaked in somehow. So much so that I learned the song “Eight Days a Week” long before I learned the actual days of the week. Imagine my confusion when I found out there were only seven. And my delight when I understood what the lyric meant.\u00a0Eight days a week, is not enough to show I care…\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a similar feeling of delight to many of The Beatles love songs. And a similar phenomenon of familiarity to them too. The Beatles were a part of many people’s lives and their melodies and lyrics soaked into many minds. When you think of young love perhaps it’s I want to hold your haaaAAAaaaaaaAAAAnd <\/em>that runs through your mind, when you meet someone new who you’re inexplicably excited about it maybe it’s I’ve just seen a face, I can’t forget the time or place <\/em>that pops up, or when you look at the woman you love walking across a room something in the way she moves <\/em>is what draws you to her side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lennon and McCartney, Harrison, and yes, even Ringo too, are undeniably some of the greatest song-writers of our time. They wrote extensively about many things but their songs about love cover all sides of the spectrum. From the simple moments to the complex relationships, to shades of grey and feeling blue\u2014the Beatle’s love songs are some of the finest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To honor some of our favorites we put together this playlist of the best Beatles love songs, along with a few fun facts about how they came to be.
