Because I HATE being sad, and I realize it's the day after, but I just don't care.
People say how can you miss someone you've never met? How can someone affect you even though you were never on the plant at the same time he was? Well, I don't know how, but I'll try to explain. Maybe it's because they give away part of their soul in their music, and you can relate to what they are saying 'ah, he's just like me' so you feel like you know them. Now, I've always known about the Beatles, but it wasn't until 4 years ago that I started paying attention. Four years ago I was feeling so depressed and alone. And then John, Paul, George, and Ringo come along. They were there for me when no one else was. They inspired me, they gave me hope, and suddenly, they were like the 4 best friends I never knew I had, and I didn't feel so alone anymore and I was back to my happy self again. I downloaded all their songs because I thought the music was the most amazing thing I've ever heard. And I thought, THIS IS IT, this is where it's at. The Beatles were my gateway to the rock and roll world. I found out about all these other musicians, Dylan, Stones, Queen, the Doors, etc. Their lives and times interested me, but it was the Beatles and their story t
h
at has always fascinated me. Maybe it's just me but you can still feel the excitement of that era through youtube videos. Their personalties are so strong that they transcend time and space. I mean, when John looks directly at the camera, I feel likes he's looking right at me, and that video is over 40 years old and John isn't even here anymore. I can just imagine how he was in person. It must have been electrifying to be in the same room with him or any of the others for that matter. I read everything I could about the Beatles, watched their movies and interviews, and I felt, I don't know, connected to them in some way. Really, the only people I really care about are my Mom and the Beatles. I don't understand how people say they've gotten over the Beatles and completely ignores them. It annoys me actually. Because you don't have to break away from your past and ignore it. I don't know, maybe they just got bored. I know I get bored easily, that's why I LOVE variety. I mean, 4 years and I'm just barely getting into Paul's Wings and solo music.
Ok, this probably only make sense to me, but I just felt like writing.
But what I want to say is: Thank you John, for everything. You saved my life and kept me sane in this crazy world. You'll live forever with your music in our hearts. I wish you knew how much people love and care about you. I hope you know now. I miss you with all my heart and I'm forever thankful to have you in my life. I love you.
