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.

I’m a big Beatles fan. I love the Beatles, but have also been really appreciating some of the newer artists singing covers. I loved the movie Across the Universe and have been listening to an album called Instant Karma – The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. Beatles music really does speak to me and sometimes I just wish there was someone else out there that could make an impact on the world right now. In the meantime, I keep listening and searching.
