Lily Potter

( Torrid: Passionate. )

"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me" (Strawberry Fields Forever)

Clearly, the Beatles are genius lyricists. If that isn't enough proof enough, I can offer you more.

"But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait" (Revolution)

"What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends." (With a Little Help From My Friends)

"Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love" (All You Need Is Love)

Enough with the Lyrics, yeah? Sorry, I've been listening to my records all day, and I must say. There is something about the Beatles that just seems to make things feel a bit better. It's only music so it doesn't really change anything, but as lame as it may sound, it can tug at your heart.. or soul.. assuming you have one, or both. I believe they are geniuses when it comes to their music because their lyrics are universal and relevant. They talk about change, tough times, getting past those troubled times.. Just the few songs I am sharing in the journal (I wonder if I can charm the journal to actually play the music) seems very relevant in our contemporary wizarding world. There is a lot of hate and prejudice, but with the help from our friends - and the whole "love" thing - we can get by, we can cause a revolution.

Now that you all think I'm officially insane, running on and on about lyrics and a Muggle Band, I think I'll go do something more productive with my time. For those of you who doubt me, I bloody well dare you to listen to one of these songs. I am certain it will cause you to smile or make you feel like dancing. Honest.
