There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you,
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.
In my life I'll love you more.

Also.

I love the album Abbey Road by the Beatles.  I'm on kind of a kick and that's probably my favourite album by them.  Underrated, if that's possible in the Beatles catalogue.  Sgt. Pepper gets all the attention and the White Album gets all the analysis.  But it's just such a rich album without the excess of those two.

"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" has lyrics you could literally scrawl on a post-it note, for nearly 8 minutes, but that guitar riff is so ridiculously powerful that you never see the ending coming.  And that's funny, because to me, that's what the album is all about, building toward an ending (for Christ's sake, it ends with a song called "The End.")  There are so many arpeggiated riffs all over that album, and you don't get sonic motifs like that a whole lot.  I dunno if they wrote it knowing it'd be their last (actually I'm fairly certain they did) but there are some lyrics that just say to me, this was the band's way of saying 'It's been great, but we have to end this...'

"One thing I can tell you is you've got to be free" - Come Together
"When you told me you didn't need me anymore, well you know I nearly broke down and cried..." - Oh! Darling
"We would be so happy you and me, No one there to tell us what to do " - Octopus' Garden
"Little Darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter.  Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here." - Here Comes the Sun
"Soon we'll be away from here, step on the gas and wipe that tear away." - You Never Give Me Your Money
"Once there was a way to get back home..." - Golden Slumbers
"Boy, you're gonna carry that weight a long time..." Carry that Weight
"And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you make" - The End.

And that medley.  That's something else, man.

Maybe I read too much into it, but ask me about Sgt. Pepper sometime if you really wanna talk turkey.

Like I said, I'm on a kick.  You can be sure the meanings of the songs - beyond the actual lyrical content - isn't all that important.  I mean really, they're just great songs.  Except maybe Maxwell's Silver Hammer.  Kind of an indicator there was something not quite right with McCartney.

Keep on rockin'
