We always like love songs. Here’s the best from Beatles. If you don’t know the song, find it in YouTube.
1. Something
Love Album
Many Beatles love songs are not telling “I love you”, but “I love her”. This is one. It shows a very natural thing about love. About something in someone that make our feeling is so different. But … the song said : “when you’re asking me will my love grow…. I don’t know”. Very memorable intro (Taylor Hicks made a very good rendition in American Idol 5). Also, try to listen to the demo version… better and different lyrics.
2. Here, There, and Everywhere
Again, telling the feeling to 3rd person. Sweet melody. Very poetic : “changing my life with the wave of her hand“, but also simply telling the truth : “someone’s speaking, but she doesn’t know he’s there”
3. That Means a Lot
Guess many of you don’t know this song. Weird melody, weird chord. But read the lyrics. Basically, when we’re in love, we simply don’t care what people say. “my friend says that your love won’t mean a lot, but you know that your love is all you’ve got…sometime things are so fine, sometime they’re not.. but when she says she loves you, that means a lot …“. Is it true?
4. Ask Me Why
Early Beatles song… very typical. A quite direct lyrics… very ‘melancholic’. “Now you’re mine, my happiness still makes me cry. And in time, you’ll understand the reason why. If I cry, it’s not because I’m sad, but you’re the only love that I’ve ever had…”
5. Do You Want to Know a Secret
When you have flower in your heart… you should be happy. Try to hum to this song, it is very cheerful … like classic Disney cartoon song! A very simple lyric : “do you want to know a secret? do you promise not to tell? …. let me whisper in your ear … i’m in love with u”
6. It’s Only Love
First lyrics, it tells about how awkward your feeling, when you are falling in love.
Second lyrics, it tells about how difficult when you have a fight with someone you love.
How come? ‘it’s only love, and that is all, why should i feel the way i do? it’s only love, and that is all, but it’s so hard loving you‘.
7. I Will
Very sweet lyric and melody “Will I wait a lonely lifetime, if you want me to, I will“. A classic melody. (my favourite ringtone!). Heard one in choir style (Warren Beatty dan Annette Benning, Love Affair), very sweet.
8. If I Fell
Have you ever been in love and want to start over? Beatles has the song! Prolog “cause I’ve been in love before and I found that love was more than just holding hand…” then it directly states : “I must be sure from the very start that you would love me more than her” Simple, but a very honest song.
9. And I Love Her
Again, song from third person point of view. Very romantic lyric. “I give her all my love… that’s all I do.. and if you saw my love.. you’ll love her too!”
10. Ain’t She Sweet
Although sang by the Beatles, this is not written by Beatles (CMIIW). Very old style. But I heard the unreleased version, it is much better. Again, a very simple and sweet song that simply ask : “ain’t she sweet?” Just cast an eye.. in here direction.. oh me oh my … ain’t that perfection?
