They aren't beautiful songs.
> Norwegian Wood is my song completely. It was about an affair I was having. I was very careful and paranoid because I didn’t want my wife, Cyn, to know that there really was something going on outside of the household. I’d always had some kind of affairs going, so I was trying to be sophisticated in writing about an affair, but in such a smoke-screen way that you couldn’t tell. **But I can’t remember any specific woman it had to do with.**
~ John Lennon, interview with David Sheff
What a piece of shit. From him bragging about wife beating in "jealous guy" to the anti-christian communist preaching in "imagine", John Lennon keeps amazing me with how much of a terrible person he was. I'll listen to that other song now.
> 'In My Life' was, I think, my first real, major piece of work. Up until then it had all been glib and throwaway. And it was the most boring sort of ‘What I Did on My Holidays Bus Trip’ song…
I didnt do much research on this besides listening to it and reading the lyrics. But it looks like another songs about his long line of affairs with his wife: "*All these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new*". Pretty song though, interesting keyboard part.
I can enjoy the beatles if it's just one or two songs. And its much more tolerable if they are songs I haven't yet heard. Still, I wouldn't sit through an album unless I had to.
