The Beatles make a Comeback

I wouldn't say that Beatles for Sale was a bad album. It wasn't. It was just bad for The Beatles. It would have been good for any other artist, but we expect so much more from The Beatles because we know what they are capable of. Even though the tone of the album was kind of down, it still was memorable.

For instance, No Reply. I love that song. Mainly because of the harmonizing.

I saw the light,

I saw the light!

...

I nearly died,

I nearly died!

They were so together, it just gives me chills. Why couldn't they be born in the 2000's?

Besides that song, the rest of the album didn't really cut it for me. But man! When Help came out eight months later, I nearly died and went to heaven. The Beatles were back!

Their opening song, Help was just fabulous. Really great vibe, a great way to kick off another great album.

I also really enjoy "The Night Before" and "You've got to Hide your Love Away". Different sounds, but great overall.

I feel like I am just listing all of the songs because they are all so good.

"Your Going to Lose that Girl" has an awesome ring to it! I love the emphasis on the word lose!

And plus, I love the different meanings of "Ticket to Ride/Ryde."  It makes the song really unique and interesting. It shows how great they were at songwriting; that they were able add multiple meanings into one song.

And "Yesterday." I think what makes this song so great is it's lyrics.



Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be

  There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly

They could be interpreted in any way. An unfortunate event, a girl, daily troubles. Many people can relate to it. And that is why people like it. It is relatable.

It kind of reminds me of "Over the Rainbow". It has a similar tune, and depending on how you interpret it, it could be saying that because yesterday was so great, "yesterday" is bound to return. Meaning it can't stay bad forever. The times right now are down and they are hurting right now, but in time, they believe that everything will settle itself out and the times of "yesterday" will return.
