The Beatles were unbelievable, with so many noteworthy songs... it takes me back to the days in South Africa when my brother had all their albums. Him and my father just loved them, I think they deserve the credit.
My Brother and his wife used this as the song in their wedding video , it just worked perfectly. I can honestly say where I'm at at this time in my life I totally agree with the lyrics of this song and if they hadn't used this as their wedding video song I would have used it. It's all about certain memories and once important people tend to pale in comparison to the new priorities and feelings we assign to new people in our life who shape our present and future lives.
Lyrics :
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
I've posted the video of the Beatles original performance but I've also posted below.. that of Allison Crowe's version. I think she really sings beautifully , of course it doesn't replace the Beatles version but it does give us a new slant on the song..Enjoy!
