"Love Me Do" is the debut single by the English rock band the Beatles, backed by "P.S. I Love You". When the single was originally released in the United Kingdom on 5 October 1962, it peaked at number 17. It was released in the United States in 1964 and topped the nation's song chart. Re-released in 1982 as part of EMI's Beatles 20th anniversary, it re-entered the UK charts and peaked at number 4.[5] "Love Me Do" also topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand.
The song was written several years before being recorded, and prior to the existence of the Beatles. It features John Lennon's prominent harmonica playing and duet vocals by him and Paul McCartney. Three recorded versions of the song by the Beatles have been released, each with a different drummer. The first attempted recording from June 1962 featured Pete Best on drums, but was not officially released until the Anthology 1 compilation in 1995. A second version was recorded three months later with Best's replacement Ringo Starr, and this was used for the original Parlophone single first pressing. A third version, featuring session drummerAndy White in place of Starr, was used for the second pressing and also included on the band's Please Please Me album and on the 1964 Tollie single in the US. It was also included on the American LPs Introducing... The Beatles and The Early Beatles.
According to Lennon, "In My Life" was his "first real major piece of work" because it was the first time he wrote about his own life.
"In My Life" is a song by the Beatles
written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon-McCartney). The song originated with
Lennon, and while Paul McCartney contributed to the final version, the extent
of his contribution is in dispute. Released on the 1965 album Rubber Soul, it
is ranked 23rd on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All
Time" as well as fifth on their list of the Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs.
The song placed second on CBC's 50 Tracks. Mojo magazine named it the best song
of all time in 2000.
LYRICS
In My Life
There are places I'll 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 mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Tho' 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.
Tho' 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.
VOCABULARY
Remain /rɪˈmeɪn/= permanecer
Recall /rɪˈkɔːl/= recordar
Tho' = Though
What Does Tho Mean? The internet slang term “tho” is a contraction or a shorthand version of the English word “though.” It is used to mean “on the contrary” or more simply, “however.”
"She's been sick for two weeks. She seems better today tho" .- “Tho” is a shortened form of “though.” You are more likely to see it in text messages or in very casual writing by young people. “Though” is used to emphasize a contrast, such as in your sentence above: the contrast is she was sick but she seems better.
Examples
The drinks were expensive, tho' the cocktail selection was good
I really like that boy. I don't know his name, tho.
I want to go to the party, tho I don't think that I can.
This is an
autobiographical song about John Lennon's life. He wrote most of the lyrics
after being asked why a book he wrote, In
His Own Write, revealed more about him than his songs did.
The lyrics
about friends refer to Stu Sutcliffe, an early Beatle and great friend of
John's who died in 1962, and another friend named Pete Shotton. Lennon also
thought of his Aunt Mimi and wife Cynthia, as well as other friends. One of the
most beautiful Beatles songs, John called it "A little piece of art
work."
The Beatles
left a hole for the instrumental break when they recorded this. Producer George
Martin filled it in the next morning by playing a piano solo and speeding up
the tape to make it sound like a harpsichord. Lennon had asked him to fill it
with something "baroque."
Both John
Lennon and Paul McCartney cited "In My Life" as one of the best
Beatles songs. It was also one of George Harrison's favorites. He performed a
rocked-up version on his 1974 US tour, altering the lyrics a bit by singing
"I love you all" and "For people and things that came and went
before."
There is some
debate over how involved McCartney was in writing this song. McCartney claimed
he wrote the whole melody, but Lennon took credit for the bulk of the song's
composition, telling Playboy in 1980, "Paul helped with the middle
eight." In 2018, a Harvard statistician pegged it as a Lennon composition.
This was voted
the best song of all time by a panel of songwriters in a 2000 Mojo magazine
poll. The panelists included McCartney, Brian Wilson, Lamont Dozier, and Carole
King.
In an
interview in the January 1971 edition of Rolling Stone, John Lennon recalled
the writing of this song: "I wrote that in Kenwood (his home at the time).
I used to write upstairs where I had about ten Brunell tape recorders all
linked up, I still have them, I'd mastered them over the period of a year or
two - I could never make a rock and roll record but I could make some far out
stuff on it. I wrote it upstairs, that was one where I wrote the lyrics first
and then sang it."
Judy Collins,
Ozzy Osbourne and Johnny Cash, Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Diana Krall and Boyz
II Men are among the many artists who have covered this song.
According to
John Lennon: The Life and Legend (The Sunday Times: A Special Tribute 1980),
Lennon began writing this in 1964. He forgot about the song for a while and he
wrote it again one year later, with lyrics talking about people from his
childhood and younger years. In John's original handwritten lyrics he made
reference to several places in Liverpool:
Penny Lane is
one I'm missing
Up Church Rd
to the clocktower
In the circle
of the abbey
I have seen
some happy hours
Past the
tramsheds with no trams
On the 5 bus
into town
Past the Dutch
and St. Columbus
To the Dockers
Umbrella that they pilled down
The Dockers
Umbrella was the world's first overhead railway (opened 1893). St. Columbus
could refer to a school the bus passes. >>
The music was
inspired by The Miracles song "You've Really Got A Hold On Me."
This song was
played at Kurt Cobain's funeral. The Beatles were an early and important music
influence on him. Cobain even cited Lennon as his "idol" in the
various journals he kept throughout his career with Nirvana. >>
In 1998,
George Martin produced an album called In My Life with guest vocalists
performing various Beatles songs. These vocalists weren't all singers; the
cover of "In My Life" features the actor Sean Connery. >>
Born
in Ixelles, Brussels, to an aristocratic family,
Hepburn spent parts of her childhood in Belgium, England, and the Netherlands.
She studied ballet with Sonia Gaskell in Amsterdam beginning in
1945, and with Marie Rambert in
London from 1948. She began performing as a chorus girl in West End musical theatre productions and
then had minor appearances in several films. She rose to stardom in the romantic
comedy Roman Holiday (1953)
alongside Gregory Peck, for
which she was the first actress to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe Award,
and a BAFTA Award for
a single performance. That year, she also won a Tony Award for Best
Lead Actress in a Play for her performance in Ondine.
Nominated for five Academy Awards (winning
two), with the music (including "Moon River") nominated for six Grammy Awards (winning
five), the film was selected in 2012 for preservation in the United
States National Film
Registry by the Library of Congress as
being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".
LYRICS
"Moon River" (1961 oscar mejor canción)
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
"FLY ME
TO THE MOON", originally titled "In Other Words", is a song
written in 1954 by Bart Howard. Kaye Ballard made the first recording of the
song the year it was written. Frank Sinatra's 1964 version was closely
associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon.
Kaye Ballard made the song's first commercial recording, released by Decca in April 1954
Over the next
few years, jazz and cabaret singers released cover versions of "In Other
Words" on EP or LP record albums, including Chris Connor, Johnny
Mathis, Portia Nelson, and Nancy Wilson. Eydie Gormé sang the song
on her 1958 album Eydie In Love.
In 1960, Peggy
Lee released the song on the album Pretty Eyes, then made it more popular
when she performed it in front of a large television audience on The Ed
Sullivan Show. As the song's popularity increased, it became better known as
"Fly Me to the Moon", and in 1963 Peggy Lee convinced Bart Howard
to make the name change official. Connie Francis released two non-English
versions of the song in 1963: in Italian as "Portami Con Te" and
in Spanish as "Llévame a la Luna".
In 1962, Joe
Harnell arranged and recorded an instrumental version in a bossa nova style. It
was released as a single in late 1962. Harnell's version spent 13 weeks
on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching No. 14 on February 23, 1963
Frank Sinatra
included the song on his 1964 album It Might as Well Be Swing, accompanied by
Count Basie.
By 1995, the
song had been recorded more than 300 times. The Japanese animated series
Neon Genesis Evangelion uses several versions of the song sung by Claire
Littley, Yoko Takahashi, and various female cast members of the series for the
closing music of each episode
Frank
Sinatra's 1964 recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" became closely
associated with NASA's Apollo space program. A copy of the song was played on a
Sony TC-50 portable cassette player on the Apollo 10 mission which orbited the
Moon, and also on Apollo 11 before the first landing on the Moon
Intended by lyricist Hal David to convey a woman's concern for her man who's serving in the Vietnam War, "I Say a Little Prayer" was recorded by Dionne Warwick in a 9 April 1966 session. Although Bacharach's recordings with Warwick typically took no more than three takes (often only taking one), Bacharach did ten takes on "I Say a Little Prayer" and still disliked the completed track, feeling it was rushed.
Aretha Franklin version
"I Say a Little Prayer" also returned to the Pop & R&B Top Ten in the fall of 1968 via a recording by Aretha Franklin taken from her 1968 album Aretha Now. Franklin and background vocalists The Sweet Inspirations were singing the song for fun while rehearsing the songs intended for the album when the viability of their recording "I Say a Little Prayer" became apparent,[3] significantly reinvented from the format of the Dionne Warwick original via the prominence of Clayton Ivey's piano work. Similar to the history of Warwick's double-sided hit, the Aretha Franklin version was intended for the B-side of the July 1968 single release "The House That Jack Built" but began to accrue its own airplay that August.

The film received generally positive reviews from critics. The soundtrack song "I Say a Little Prayer" was covered by singer Diana King and featured heavily in the film, making it a U.S. BillboardHot 100 hit.

Plot
Three weeks before her 28th birthday, New York City food critic Julianne "Jules" Potter receives a call from her lifelong friend Michael O'Neal, a Chicago sportswriter. Years earlier, the two agreed that if they were both unmarried by age 28, they would marry each other. Michael tells her that in four days, he will marry the beautiful Kimmy Wallace, a college student eight years his junior whose father owns the Chicago White Sox. Realizing that she was in love with him, Jules resolves to sabotage his wedding. Arriving in Chicago, she reunites with Michael and meets Kimmy, who asks her to be the maid of honor. Jules schemes to break up the couple, but her attempt to humiliate Kimmy at a karaoke bar backfires. She manipulates Kimmy into asking her father to offer Michael a job, which Jules knows will anger Michael, but this fails as well.
Frustrated, Jules begs her friend George Downes for help, and he flies to Chicago. On George's advice, Jules prepares to tell Michael how much she loves him, but instead tells him that she is engaged to George, hoping to make Michael jealous.George, who is gay, plays along but embarrasses Jules at lunch with the wedding party, singing "I Say a Little Prayer" as the whole restaurant joins in. George flies home, and Jules tells Michael that her "relationship" with George is over. Michael admits to feeling jealous and gives her the chance to confess her own feelings, but she lets the moment pass. They share a dance as Michael sings their song, "The Way You Look Tonight".
