The Beatles—I Want To Hold Your Hand

Oh my God, this SONG.  I think it’s time to talk about the Beatles a little bit.

I just—I love them so much that I feel
like I could never express it even a little bit which is frustrating because I
want to be able to explain it.  Like, here are these four cute boys from
England practically a lifetime ago and their dumb haircuts and their cheap
guitars and their sarcasm and their camaraderie and they made this music,
just because they could and how could it possibly mean so much to me, but
it does and every. single. time. I hear the first lines of ‘Hey Jude,’ my heart breaks and     sometimes I’ll listen to a song for the 140,002nd time and
suddenly it will dawn on me again how much I can’t tell how much I love
them and I will have this renewed need to try and explain it.  And then my
head practically explodes trying to wrestle with this stupid, inadequate
language to communicate it all.

And this song, my God.  My God.  Ok, now stop.  Stop and consider your day as it right now.  Now press play.  Now consider your life again.  Notice that it has improved.  WHAT CAN EVEN DO THAT?  And how much have you ever wanted to just HOLD SOMEONE’S HAND, who hadthatsomethingithinkyou’llunderstand, and it made your heart want to burst, and that is this song.
