Saturday mornings

On Saturday mornings we now have the luxury of choosing to listen to a radio program for a complete hour. Our favorite is "Beatles Brunch" by Joe Johnson. He includes many actual interviews from the Beatles. I always find at least one thought to ponder. Last Saturday it was a gem from Paul who explained the simple idea that when he writes songs he often believes that "the first thought is often the best thought". He referred to the line in "Hey Jude" : "The movement you need is on your shoulder" He didn't know what he meant by this line at the time but he left it in the song. he then keep thinking about it over time and came to the conclusion that he meant that "the answer was already with you" He wrote this song for Julian Lennon to console him through the difficult time when his dad left.
   Speaking of John Lennon, in one of his interviews he explained "Revolution" was his thought of "Don't do something that destroys, work for subtle changes instead"
    I realised that I don't always listen carefully to the words of songs and I love hearing what the writer meant in his own words. Below are photos of the view from our bedroom window. We often take our  coffee back to bed, listen to the radio and watch the birds. What a luxury !!!
