There are places I'll remember all my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better. Some have gone and some remain...But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one that compares with you and these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new...I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I've loved you more.
There are times when all you want to say is encompassed perfectly in a song. But for me, almost all I want to say is perfectly expressed in a Beatles song. This is my first blog post in London, the city that has seen so much and radiates history from its walls. But as I walk around the streets of this great metropolis all I can think of is four twenty-somethings arriving in London from Liverpool to record for the very first time in Abbey Road Studios, strutting about the alleyways following their first number one, dodging screaming fans as Beatlemania cascaded down upon them, leaving Heathrow to fly into JFK International Airport in New York, spending days holed up in the studio recording legendary tracks, walking across the street, and finally performing for the last time to the world on the rooftop of Apple Studios. London itself, is the center of The Beatles, seeing their tentative beginning and modest but incredible end. T
The London scene in the 1960s was a magnificent place to be in world history even without The Beatles' contribution. To be here studying history and with a big place for the Beatles in my heart, is more than I ever could have hoped for. I feel closer to them than ever, despite the fifty-year gap between our lives.
Hopefully, I will be inspired to be a better blogger living here! I'll try to post pictures as much as I can.
