What was the best of all of the Lennon-McCartney tunes?
Over time, I've grown to love "In my life".
It was released in "Rubber Soul", my favorite of all of The Beatles' albums.
This is such a nice song, specially as we get a little older and remember all of the places that "have changed".
According to "songfacts":
"The lyrics about friends refer to Stu Sutcliffe, an early Beatle and great friend of John's who died in 1962, and another friend named Pete Shotton.John & Paul do some great vocals:
Lennon also thought of his Aunt Mimi and wife Cynthia, as well as other friends."
"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
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more..."
