We have all done it, some more than others; standing in a bar one evening, arm in arm with friends, singing along to Sweet Caroline. I happen to be in the “more than others” group having spent almost every Thursday of my college life at The Vine Tavern in Tempe, AZ; on tables leading the [...]
You can probably list a few songs which you love to sing to, and we’d bet you think you know all the lyrics to those songs, right? Are you sure? Just for fun, why not take a look at the list here and you might discover that “The question to everyone’s answer is usually asked [...]
That’s life, that’s what people say.
You’re riding’ high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I’m gonna change that tune,
When I’m back on top in June.
That’s life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin’ on dreams;
But I don’t let it get me down,
‘Cause this ol’ word keeps getting around.
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, [...]
A long, long time ago…
“American Pie” reached #1 in 1972, shortly after it was released. Buddy Holly, unfortunately, died in 1959 while other aspects of the song hint even further back.
I can still remember how That music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, That I could make [...]
American Pie
Just the lyrics
A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile and I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance and maybe they’d be happy for a while but February made me shiver with every paper I delivered, bad news [...]
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your Mother was born
Though she was born a long time ago
Your Mother should know — your Mother
should know
Sing it again
Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your Mother was born
Though she was born a long [...]
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
of every head he’s had the pleasure to have known
and the people that come and go, stop and say hello.
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
and little children laugh at him behind his back
and the banker never wears a mack, in the pouring rain, very [...]
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I’m filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong
I’m right
Where I belong I’m right
Where I belong.
Some people standing there who disagree and
never win
And I [...]
AH, Look at all the lonely people!
AH, Look at all the lonely people!
Eleanor Rigby pick up the rice in the church
Where a wedding had been,
Lives in a dream,
Waits at a window, wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All [...]
Buy the Symphonic version
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his [...]
Abbey Road :
Purchase Abbey Road
This album cover is, without doubt, our favorite, the clues are obvious:
The cover shows the Beatles walking across Abbey Road. John is dressed in white, as the preacher. Ringo is dressed as pallbearer, Paul, who is out of step, barefoot, and the only one holding a cigarette in his right hand [...]
Yellow Submarine:
Purchase Yellow Submarine
The open palm appears above Paul’s head on the front cover, while the yellow submarine is pictured beneath the land, stationary, coffin-like.
Yellow Submarine Movie: Even the movie has a couple of clues, one happens during the song “All You Need Is Love” when John sings “..yes, he’s dead..” the word “know” on the [...]
White Album:
Purchase The White Album
This album has little to do with the cover and much to do with the lyrics. To be honest, the album cover only, once again, highlights the theory that they were avoiding having to take pictures of William Campbell since he didn’t quite look exactly like Paul. Inside the album though, [...]
Hey Jude:
The picture above the Beatles, on top of the doorway in front of which they are standing, is supposedly a picture of where Paul is buried. Notice that his hands are clasped in front of himself.
Hey Jude Lyrics:
Lady Madonna: “..Wednesday morning papers didn’t come..” (they were recalled remember)
Revolution: “..don’t you know it’s gonna [...]
Magical Mystery Tour:
Purchase Magical Mystery Tour
Paul is in the black walrus costume on the cover, each of the other Beatles is wearing white. The walrus is a sign of death in certain cultures. Ironically, the other Beatles are dressed in white and hovering above him.
The word “Beatles” when held to a mirror is actually a [...]
