Today we finish Magical Mystery Tour with one of the most recognizable Beatles songs: "All You Need Is Love". It was written by John Lennon.
The Beatles were asked to come up with a song containing a simple message to be understood by all nationalities. "It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message," said Brian Epstein. "The nice thing about it is that it cannot be misinterpreted. It is a clear message saying that love is everything."
During the last refrain which fades out gradually, the Beatles were accompanied by friends and family (including Mick Jagger and Keith Moon), who helped sing and clap their hands.
There's just something so pleasant, so warm and fuzzy, so reassuring and smile-inducing about this song. It was wonderful to come home to this particular song after a tough day, because I went from stressed and grumpy to cheerful and singing loudly. :P I especially like how the song ends with the guys singing, "She loves you, yeah yeah yeah". Kind of tops it off right.
That's all for the song--stay tuned for the album summary!
