Last night i was listening to Magical Mystery Tour and i got to the end and heard "All You Need is Love." It was so wierd. for some reason, i was totally taken by this song. i have heard it at least a million times before and always liked it, but something about it last night totally changed how i heard it. it was genuinely bizzare, but somehow i like it even more now. it was like a musical epiphany. has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?
I remember the first time I heard that song in a whole new manner, I was probably a little younger than you and must have heard it a million tiees before, but still... it was such a powerful experience. As adults, many of us no longer appreciate the beauty of something new... But oh man, when I think back of how much Beatles songs used to make me feel when I was younger. They still do at times... but never like they used to, when they were new, mysterious, and completely beautiful for me.
Last night oddly enough, and almost outta the blue... it was like a vacuum of thought that lead through a black hole to a completely different understanding of my life - most importantly LOVE. Why allow it to "go away"? Love needs to just "go away"?
I think that song has a sadness to it a kind of comedic sadness, I like it, one of my favorite beatles songs
I have that many times. Sometimes a song is just a song, but suddenly a hidden association or click is activated and it somehow lifts that song to mythical proportions.
what it hints at is a possibility. the sadness is all the excuses human society keeps coming up with for screwing itself out of that possibility. in a litteral sense, all you need isn't so much love as a conscience and self dicipline, but the song and the idea, describe a state of awairness, a way of looking at things, a perspective, that makes more sense and gratification then all the nonsense the dominant culture brainwashes us into putting ahead of allowing ourselves and each other to be in that state of consciousness. =^^= .../\...
Yeah i don't know, it was the lyrics and the meaning of the lyrics, but also just the tune and the sound of all the voices and instruments together... it was really powerful.
