1. “Tomorrow Never Knows” from the album Revolver
Turn off your mind/relax and float down stream/This is not dying
Something I really need to try and remember.
2. “The End” – from the album Abbey Road
And in the end,/the love you take,/is equal to, the love,/you make
A more interesting way of talking about the golden rule.
3. “Nowhere Man” from the album Rubber Soul
He’s a real nowhere man,/Sitting in his Nowhere Land,/Making all his nowhere plans,/for nobody./Doesn’t have a point of view,/Knows not where he’s going to,/Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Self-reflection and how most of what we see (and put down) in others is already in ourselves.
4. “Don’t Let Me Down” – from the album Let it Be
I’m in love for the first time/Don’t you know it’s gonna last/It’s a love that lasts forever/It’s a love that has no past.
The power and nature of love.
5. “In My Life” – from the album Rubber Soul
There are places I remember/All my life though some have changed/Some forever not for better/Some have gone and some remain/All these places had their moments/With lovers and friends I still can recall/Some are dead and some are living/In my life I’ve loved them all
How we all live with both memories and a memory (which we can’t always trust)
joie de vivre
