Looking Back

  Music is great because it can always explain exactly how we feel and think.  As we get older, we have a propensity to reminisce and I am no exception, especially as we roll into the holiday season.  As the band Chumbawamba says in their song Tubthumping;

He sings the songs that remind him

Of the good times

He sings the songs that remind him

Of the better times

  One of my favourite songs is In My Life by The Beatles, although it is a love song, it fits my mood to look back and reminisce about the good times and good friends and family, of which I have been blessed with many.

In My Life, by The Beatles (click here for a video)

There are places I remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All this 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
