Ok so this morning I am going to brave the work of the Beatles. The reason I put it like that is because I am a MASSIVE fan and so it is going to be hard for me to limit my choices of what songs I post so just up ahead, a warning, this is a long post, also if I don't put your favourite song, please do comment and tell me and I'll happily post it....


The Beatles, if you didn't know, were a completely revolutionary band of the 60s consisting of John Lennon, Ringo Star, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. It is fair to say that they changed music forever, and were completely outrageous, people were not used to the wild, crazy, illogical yet stunning music of theirs and so many people were very resistant at first however they later grew to be one of the biggest and most popular bands in the world. I love them, they are truly musically brilliant and have some fun when playing. 


You know I very often think about what music has come to today....can you right now, this second think of a song from after the year 2000 that isn't about love, breaking up, deserving better or "just being friends", your answer to this is most likely no, and if you do, I doubt you have many more...I mean, I guess thats fine, it is popular enough (hence it being called pop music) but back in the day people actually wrote music because it was fun, beautiful and it didn't always have to be sad or romantic (the theme of most pop songs today) it could be completely random. This post will show you how the Beatles did this. (side note: please don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the music of today and I listen to it more than anything else buuut, it does become a bit tedious at times.....) 


I will use another post to post all my actual songs by the Beatles, so read up and find them, but for now check this out, it is a comic Australian band ripping off pop music and just listen to what they're doing because there is some truth in what they're saying.....


Ok so I counted around 40 songs all with the same chords!!
