| Prompt: "The Long and Winding Road" By The Beatles Write about this line in your Blog entry today. -------- I liked this song sung by the Beatles even when I first heard it. Soon it became the number one single. I can't recall the year except for the fact that I had recently married. It may just be that I don't remember what year anything was exactly, for fear of it pointing to my many years on this planet. The song itself actually belongs to Paul McCartney, and understandably so because the lyrics point to only one point of view as it says, "You left me standing here / /A long, long time ago..." This sings of a bittersweet goodbye. Still, I can detect a sense of hope despite all the sadness in McCartney's words. "Don’t leave me waiting here//Lead me to your door..." Usually, a sensitive songwriter voices his own personal anguish. At the time, Paul McCartney may just have been doing that for feeling sad about the direction of his own life. There is also a strong nostalgia about a relationship and experiences and the idea of a lonely future, which is quite easy to detect. Some say this points to the breakup of the Beatles, but the song itself makes me think there is a lot more of something personal in it. At least, for me, this song has become personal in many ways. |
