Learn to Fly
Like many young people who came of age between the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 and the Kent State Massacre in 1970, I found solace and comfort in the music emanating from the UK and San Francisco Bay. The lyrics and rhythms that came forth in abundance to accompany the social revolution for peace and freedom also, as it happened, engendered in my pubescent mind an appreciation for a strikingly mature poetry.
Amongst all the marvelous music created in that era of mental liberation, perhaps the most thought-provoking for my still-formative mind was the output of the Beatles, featuring such beautiful and philosophical recordings as Blackbird, In My Life, and Eleanor Rigby. For all the lonely people in the world, their songs are still a haven of joy and hope and reflection on what's really important. Listen in at the link below.
