Let me start out by saying like many others across many generations, I really love the Beatles. The pure and raw talent the shined through all of them is truly amazing. No band has ever come close to reach their level of musicality and creativity, and I’m sure no group in the future will be able too as well. Their songs are timeless, and John, Paul, Ringo and George will always be on a level of their own, untouchable to all that try.
Since a very young age I have always had a strong love and appreciation for the Beatles. With my mom telling stories of her and all her cousins watching the Beatles US debut on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 as early teens, to the small poster she had of Paul McCartney in her bedroom, it grew my fascination. Unlike most young girls growing up, I was in love with the Beatles and their music before even knowing popular boy bands like NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys even existed.
Today I find my love for the timeless band growing and I catch myself listening to their songs more frequently than not. With all the stresses and uncertainties that life may bring the one thing that constantly calms me and causes me to take a step back from it all is the music of the Beatles. I could feel like my entire world is falling apart but the moment I put on some of their classics like Let It Be, I Feel Fine, and We Can Work It Out; whether it be at three in the morning or three in the afternoon, it suddenly takes all my anxieties away.
The Beatles have become the best medicine for me when dealing with countless worries and anxious thoughts, and I'm sure it can for you too. And unlike traditional medicine, if you find yourself getting addicted it, it has no harmful side effects. What could be better?
