I remember getting ready for school one morning when the radiopresenter announced that he was going to play the latest single by the Beatles. I rushed down the stairs as fast as I could to get nearer to the radio. This was 1965 and the whole country was in a state of “Beatlemania”... and I was their biggest fan! I turned up the volume and stood staring at the radio, holding my breath and waiting for the first notes of the song.

It was definitely the Beatles. Paul McCartney’s voice was unmistakable but the sound was different. When the song had finished, I stood not knowing whether I liked it or not. However, this was not unusual. Different beats, tunes and a combination of different instruments meant that it took time for me to uncover the beauty of the song. Once that happened, I knew I would love the song forever. Yes, I was their biggest fan and I couldn’t wait to hear this song again and again until it became my favourite song from my favourite band.

During the 1960s, the Beatles were not just a band; they were a force for change. They exploded onto the music scene in 1962 as four young men with unique haircuts. They immediately grabbed the attention of young people and soon the youth of the country were being swept along on waves of joyous rock and roll music and the hope for a better future.

Today, I have in my collection every disc ever made by the Beatles. I truly love their music and enjoy looking at their musical journey from basic rock and roll, through their experimentation with more complicated and progressive sounds, and then back to the less complicated music of their final records. Whenever I listen to “She Loves You”, I am instantly taken back to my teenage years. I can picture my bedroom decorated with posters of the Fab Four smiling down at me and I can see myself riding my bicycle through country lanes singing “yeah, yeah, yeah” at the top of my voice. Yes, the Beatles’s music has accompanied me throughout my life. It has helped me look to the future with expectation and now it helps me reflect on my life with quiet satisfaction.
