In my life...

So... for those who have no idea, I am totally loving listening to the Ten Tenors (and am going to see them LIVE on July 31st with my parents !)

Those of you who haven't heard of them, click here to find out what all the fuss is about. They are amazing and no they aren't just classical, they sing covers of classic melodic songs... beegees classics, beach boys classics, Queen classics, songs from soundtracks, Simon and Garfunkel classics, abba classics... and my favourite - Beatles classics!

Check out on their downloads section, them singing "bohemian rhapsody" ... remarkable.

Ok, so back to the topic.. As I've listed to my many cds and dvds of the Ten Tenors, I've started to fall in love with the old classics they are singing and funnily enough, listening to them, has inspired me to listen to the original versions of the songs and I've found that somehow I've loved the original versions of the songs as much as the magical remakes! Incredible.

There's this one song by the Beatles called "In my life" that has really struck a chord with me... the lyrics are:

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had 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

The words of this song sit so well with me. Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon hit the nail on the head with this heartfelt song. I can't write any more on this because there are no words to say what I want to get across. Just that, let these lyrics resonate for a while... I wonder if you see what I see...
