I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately. I lost hours a few days ago on Facebook catching up with my past and finding people I hadn’t heard from in over 25 years. I learned about their new lives, their kids, their new careers, their friends, their causes and tried to remember myself in their lives. It was like watching a movie with people I once knew as main characters.
This weekend I was lucky enough to see the mega concert of the century, Sir Paul McCartney peformed at PacBell Park in San Francisco. This spectacular show was absolutely incredible and my heart skipped a beat each time a new song would play. And Nostalga kicked in big time- my youth staring at me for 2.5 hours. Each song brought back an old memory.
I must have been 13 years old when Let it Be was popular – I remember learning how to play it on the Piano (against my classical piano teacher’s wishes) and knew all the lyrics. It’s a pretty short song with very few lyrics but oh how it affected us all- especially when we all tried to analyze it’s hidden meaning. For me, this song brings company in a time of darkness and it’s soothing lyrics are uplifting and inspiring. It’s not just a song, it’s a mood that’s all bottled and packaged for one to hear.
Check out Sir Paul singing it this weekend- enjoy.
