This week after listening to The Beatles album Rubber Soul, their songs did sound different and a lot more slow, but i still really enjoyed listening to them. It seemed to me like they had a lot more back ground vocals in their songs, and i always love harmony so it was awesome. I really liked the song "In My Life" from their album. The lyrics in that song caught my attention, especially the part that goes:


                               With lovers and friends I still can recall
                               Some are dead and some are living
                               In my life I've loved them all

To me these lyrics mean that through out one's life, the people that you love and become friends with, no matter if it's from the past or present, they still mean so much and one will always appreciate them through their whole life. Even though this song somewhat has a slow beat and seems kind of down, the lyrics are really positive and happy. I also really like how the song shifts a lot to different beats and melody's through out the song like in the video (below) around the 29 second part and so on through the song. My favorite part is the end of the song where the piano sounds legit (about 1:30 mark in the video below). It's really interesting how producers experimented back then with studio's to make new sounds, even though today speeding up the sound to a piano seems like nothing. I loved this album and i definitely want to come burn it to a CD sometime so i can have it for myself!
