My dad took me and my sisters to see a Beatles tribute band in Raleigh last week. There is something beautifully sad about this song. It speaks to me. If the world was in turmoil when this song was written, it can’t be anything compared to what it is now. The tribute band was very talented and executed the music beautifully. It seemed like they nailed the mannerisms and tone and quality of voice, but there was no magic. Still, it was good enough. Music is lovely and powerful and it sinks down deep into the marrow of your soul. It heals, it lifts, it protects. I think it speaks to our eternal selves. I would do anything to be able to give the world a gift like this.
