Fifty
years ago today,
The Beatles sang a song
That started Beatlemania
And we all tagged along.

“She
Loves You” was recorded
And the lads took to the stage;
In suits and shiny bowl-cut hair,
They soon became the rage.

I
watch the film of screaming girls
And know just how they felt,
For when those Beatle “Whooos” were sung,
I thought my heart would melt.

Some
music does that – takes us back
And, like a sleight-of-hand,
We’re instantly transported,
With the past at our command.

The
years drop off and so does all
That’s happened in-between.
“She Loves You” hits the radio
And I’m again thirteen.

first it was 'love me do'
ReplyDeletethen 'please please me' lit the spark,
finally 'i want to hold your hand'
was what really lit the dark.
'she loves you' was at least to me
for those who came in late,
i'm sure your macca* worship
started earlier than this date!
(* what present day fans call sir paul)
oy! now i see 'she loves you'
ReplyDeletecame before 'hold your hand'
i guess i was thinking of 'from me to you'
memory glitch - i'm sure you understand!
yes, i do! it doesn't really matter which came first - both "she loves you" and "i want to hold your hand" have that same effect on me.
