I will always love the earlier music from The Beatles.
The songs from this album when heard still breaks out the chills simply because I remember them as clearly today as when all of 6 years-old I heard them first.
Please
Please Me
to me was the anthem that summed up their career. And “Love Me Do” will always forever define how the world truly embraced them.
They beyond Pleased Us. They led the British Invasion like a glorious stampede we just couldn’t get enough of. Before the bitterness of Nam when for just a brief moment in time we were still thought of as innocent. But as we entered the revolution of the mid-60s it was the Beatles that continued writing the soundtrack………until they decided to pass the torch.

Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue….. I step back into a better time.
