do you still think love is a laserquest?

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

The Beatles are the only pop group in the history of pop music that are actually better than everyone says they are. Ever had that feeling when listening to a new artist that you’d be waiting all your life to hear this music, while not even being aware that you were waiting? Imagine a whole planet feeling like that. Even 42 years after they fell apart The Beatles’ records retain every ounce of raw power. That’s not nostalgia. If it were, no one under 50 would listen. These records have been pored over for six decades, yet the magical mystery of why no one has ever made better ones remains. We won’t ever see their like again. And here’s the challenge that has faced every person who has written a pop song in the last 50 years: perhaps they were just so good, that we’ll never really need to. Now that really is an uncomfortable truth.
