“Their music changed the shape of my bedroom, it changed the shape of my head and it changed the shape of my life.” (Bono, U2)
The Beatles is my favourite band. For me it is as if their music has written the alphabet for the music I listened to growing up and which I still feel closest to my heart. I won’t exaggerate if I quote Wim Wenders and say that: “Rock ‘n Roll saved my life.”
I remember translating the lyrics of the White Album with a dictionary in our living room. It was a nice and interesting journey through the bending roads of the English language (try translating ‘Happiness is a Warm Gun’). And I like music and words that can take you to journeys. The more Magical and Mystical, the better.
I’ve visited the Beatles museum in Liverpool last weekend and couldn’t stop myself from taking a few pictures.
Especially for the most dedicated fan of the Beatles I know: my mother.
Thank you so much, my dear.
Thank you!
