My husband, Jack, observed the other day that the Beatles have all the philosophy needed to get us through this current crisis. I think he’s right!
Maybe I’m Amazed at where we are right now. And for all my friends out there, I Want to Hold Your Hand!
But Sgt. Pepper is always shouting Help! or Get Back! Get back to where you once belonged.
Just think how difficult it would be to stay six feet apart if we were all on A Yellow Submarine.
Quarantine has been more difficult for some than others.
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn’t last
Jack and I talked about where to quarantine. There’s always Abbey Road or Penny Lane or even the Octopus’ Garden. I considered Strawberry Fields but didn’t want to stay there forever. Just as long as I’m not Back in the USSR. I think the best bet is to join Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Jack says if he stays in quarantine much longer, he’s going to feel like Nowhere Man. Every morning I wake up and think Another Day and every week seems as if there are Eight Days a Week.
I miss my friends, including Lovely Rita, Eleanor Rigby, Michelle, Jude, Dear Prudence and even Uncle Albert. But basically, I Feel Fine. I wish I could take the Long and Winding Road – to just about anywhere. But we’re content because every morning, Here Comes the Sun.
Imagine all the people and how happy they are going to be when we can Come Together. But in the meantime, We Can Work It Out. Just Let it Be and remember
All You Need is Love.
Thank you George, Ringo, Paul and John!!!
Oh did this make my day, Laura! I’d probably seen Danny Boyle’s ‘Yesterday’ four times when it came on HBO last week, and I realized I like it more each time I watch. A world without The Beatles would be a much poorer place.
