A Day in the Life: As It Speaks to Me

Things speak to you: a photograph, art, a song, or a person. You’re not sure why it speaks to you; it just does. That happens a lot in life - sometimes only a few hours pass, sometimes much longer. The title of my blog comes from a Beatles song that has spoken to me often over the years and I still don't know why. Moments have come along and I often don’t know why they speak to me but eventually I have clarity. I hope to share those moments here: my clarity. A day in the life as it speaks to me.

Thank you Paul McCartney and John Lennon . . . for things I still have not figured out!

Day In The Life

Songwriters: Paul McCartney and John Lennon

I read the news today, oh boy

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well, I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car

He didn't notice that the lights had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They'd seen his face before

Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today, oh boy

The English army had just won the war

A crowd of people turned away

But I just had to look, having read the book

I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, got out of bed

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ahh, ahh, ahh

I read the news today, oh boy

Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

I'd love to turn you on
