Description

Love was a central theme in The Beatles catalogue. Romantic love, Desperate love, sexual love, and Just love as a universal feeling - they were ever-present in their albums and singles. And it's no wonder why those tracks have stood the test of time. The Beatles songs were never as dense as Bob Dylan’s or as raunchy and direct as the Rolling Stones’. However, they were taken no less seriously at the time, as Beatles’ songs were always believed to ‘mean’ something. Thirty years after the band stopped playing, those songs still mean something to us. They are like old friends we met when we were young and made life a little more exciting and easier to cope with. Because of what they did for us, we have great affection for them. We hold such affection for them that it makes sense to find out where they came from. Their songs became the soundtrack of every teen and young adult at the height of Beatlemania, and even decades later, their music remains the standard by which all others are measured. Though they have dozens of musical masterpieces in their arsenal, one theme that’s ever- present in every album and most singles is LOVE.
