Today’s Theme Music

I’ve been thinking about the Beatles’ song, “Hello, Goodbye”. A simple song, I’ve thought often of this song in the context of people taking different views of something. To me, the words were about trying to reconcile differences between people – “You say, goodbye, and I say, hello.” The lyrics were saying, “We can’t agree on anything.” Yet, the song is optimistic; they’re talking about this.

Beyond that, like most Beatles songs, I like their use of their instruments and timing to add inflections and nuances. Yet, watching the video, and the almost bored attitude as they play, and listening to the words, it’s really a tedious little song. What about those costumes, too?

But, it’s in my head, and I have to get it out, so I’m putting it out to you. Sue me if you’re upset.

  1. That was just what I needed to clear out the noggin. Haven’t sat and listened to this song in headphones in decades. … What was I thinking? Irrepressible exuberance and journeyman chops. Every piece perfect. Ringo was the perfect drummer. No other drummer on the planet would have complemented them more.
