‘In My Life’ — The Beatles
According to John Lennon, this 1965 single from the album “Rubber Soul” would be on everyone’s list of the greatest songs ever written if it were released today. “This was my first serious piece of work,” Paul McCartney has stated about the song. He said that everything had been glib and forgotten up to that point. ‘Everything’ he stated. He was absolutely correct. Following the death of Shotton’s close friend and biographer, Peter Shotton said that the song’s line “Other Friends Are Dead, and Some Are Alive / In my life, I’ve loved them all” was a tribute to both Shotton and Stuart Sutcliffe, who passed away in 1962.
