Late To Beatlemania + My Beatles Playlist

Do you ever wish you could time travel to a particular time and place? Of course you do, you are nerds! Time travel is our thing. Me? As of now, I'd love to go back to the sixties! 1961. Liverpool, England.

I was never a fan of The Beatles. I didn't dislike them, I just never listened to them. If I'm being honest, I thought the hype was too much. Even on my trip to England I didn't do anything Beatles. I saw them here and there but never cared much. But now Ocean Eyes are in talks of going to NYC for Christmas to do a John Lennon tour {he's my favorite!}. He was super sad when I met him and I said I didn't care for The Beatles when he grew up listening to them, it is his mom's favorite band! I can say they, you, everyone was right!

Now on this other side of Beatlemania, I am discovering them for the first time. I'm learning their personalities {they are so funny!!!}, their rise to stardom and infamy and for a half of them, their deaths. The more I learn about them, the more I understand how there can never be a band like them again. All of their popularity came through word of mouth, TV and radio. No iPhones, no Snap Chat and no internet! It's mind blowing to see the mania that ensued around them.

NOW for my favorite Beatles songs! Boy was this hard. Thank god Spotify has all of their albums. I listened and listened and kept changing my choices. 13 albums! Of course it is hard to pick a favorite. So I have an extras list as well! LOL These are in no particular order, but Black Bird and Help are probably tied right now!

My 10 favorite Beatles songs Playlist:

1. Help!

2. Hey Jude.

3. Oh! Darling.

4. Let It Be.

5. Black Bird.

6. Eleanor Rigby.

7. Here Comes The Sun.

8. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

9. Come Together.

10. Twist And Shout.

Ocean Eyes' Favorite: Strawberry Fields.

EXTRAs: Something. Because. Good Day Sunshine. Yesterday. We Can Work It Out. I Want To Hold Your Hand. It's Getting Better {MY LIFE!}

So of course when we went and celebrated Ocean Eyes' 30th birthday in Vegas, I had to get us tickets to see LOVE! It was amazing, full and we got even better seats than I paid for! The BEST performance in LOVE was Tomorrow Never Knows. But I did want to cry during Yesterday!

And now I want to go live in the Sixties! In 1964 The Beatles came and toured the US for the first time. They release an album every six months. The fashion was groove, peace and love popular {see above picture, that is a vintage dress!}. BIG things were happening in music! The Beach Boys {1961}, Fleetwood Mac {1967}. The Beach Boys I've been a fan of since childhood {CA Girl!} and Fleetwood I discovered just before The Beatles. I am a happy music fan right now! I love all of my NEW OLD music!

In the 60s all of the music carried a great message: "All you need is love," "There is still a chance that they will see, There will be an answer, let it be," "Come together," "Life is very short, and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend."

I am now asking everyone I encounter what their favorite Beatles songs are and who their favorite Beatle is! Strangers, clients and family and friends. Share your's in the comments below! I cannot wait to hear!

Thank you nerds for sticking with me through ALL of my nerd outs! xx
