In My Life

What I believe to be one of Lennon’s greatest songs is “In My Life.” In this he is reflecting on his boyhood days, where he is imagining a bus ride through the streets of Liverpool from his house on Menlove Avenue to the docks, whereby he used all the places that held a special significance to him as a young boy. It was Lennon’s nostalgic way of mentioning the friends and lovers and the world he left behind. Upon his tragic death in 1980, this song took on the role as his personal epitaph, something that I believe Lennon would have wanted.This song and “Imagine,” are those by Lennon that hold the most meaning for me. This was recorded on October 18 and 22, 1965.

There are places I remember, all my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living, in my life, I’ve loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning, when I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection, for people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more
Though I know I’ll never lose affection, for people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more, in my life I love you more
