Why We Love The Beatles (v2) 47 of 100

Pick any Beatles song. Go on. Any. No, not a cover. Nor Band on the Run nor something from the Plastic Ono Band. From the original Fab Four from Liverpool. Now put down your coffee and listen to it. Really listen to it. Amazing isn't it? As fresh as the day it was written and recorded. No other songwriters have ever done it. Every Beatles song is guaranteed 100% fresh. Vinyl or CD or Spotify. Try it now: Penny Lane. You don't really know it; you thought you did. Rain? Even Hey Jude. Here, There and Everywhere. Discover all and any anew.

So, how did Lennon and McCartney do it? Some clever musical composition? Deep trance lyrics? Accessed our de-aging gene? No simply this: not a single Lennon-McCartney track was written mechanically, by the book or to a formula. All were from the collective Beatles soul. And hence quite simply: timeless.

That’s another reason we love The Beatles.
