"In My Life" is today's song. It was written by John, who based it off memories and recollections from his childhood. George Martin, playing an electric piano, contributed the pretty awesome instrumental bridge in the middle. Paul contributed some to the song, but of course it's in dispute how much. However, Paul seems pretty content as far as the credits go, having once said, "I find it very gratifying that out of everything we wrote, we only appear to disagree over two songs" (the other being "Eleanor Rigby").
This one makes you want to reminisce. It's got a comforting melody, and that bridge that Martin plays uses very high notes that lend a classical, and yet almost childlike, atmosphere to the song. My favorite part, besides the lyrics, are the opening notes. There's just something about them. However I do sort of think that vocally, the song might have worked better with just one singer, minus the double-tracked vocals and harmonizing. A single voice would've been more personal, at least. :)
That's all for today. See you later!
