I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours.
Dear Prudence
I always loved the White Album, all 30 songs lending themselves seamlessly to the whole, but "Dear Prudence" has only recently popped out at me as a stand-alone masterpiece. The gathering momentum of the orchestration, the loving encouragement to coax us out of our shell and into the world of experience. What a life-affirming mantra. Holy shit, it's so beautiful.
They are such a joy. I've spent a lot of years not listening to them much, since my childhood through early 20s were so saturated with them. But I'm enjoying them anew, as well!
I've been listening to early Beatles this week.. So rare to have the opportunity to really listen, and not to let the music be the background :)
