Jim Adams, aka Newepicautor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme HILL/MOUNTAIN, as you can see from his post below:

There is a huge photograph on the wall in the little nest where I reside of The Beatles when they were very young men. I think it is a photo taken in London. I do like it, but it does not belong to me. It belongs to my landlady. Everyone who visits my sweet abode presumes that because I am from Liverpool, it is my choice to put it on the wall. To be honest, I have never been the type to put photos of strangers on my walls, even famous ones – I don’t agree with giving too much glory to humans. I might love their music, but if I learn too much about them, I will probably lose respect for them.

I grew up on the outskirts of Liverpool. Everybody my Dad’s age seemed to have a story about going to see The Beatles play live. I grew up listening to a lot of music from The Beatles. So, although I don’t consider myself an expert on The Beatles, their music is deeply ingrained in me because I heard so much of their music growing up. Even at school they featured in class projects and school plays.

I chose a song today that was covered by The Beatles, but was originally from the Musical “The Music Man” (and if you want to listen to the song from the film, I have included a video at the end of the post).

I have chosen this song for one reason only…it’s really nice to be “in love”. Even now, with my Goldfinch far away, I still find myself in a dreamy state of mind at times. So the sweet lyrics in this song strike a chord with me.
