The Beatles - Now and Then

It just came out Friday and the fact that it is being called the last Beatles song just hits me a lot harder than being called the new Beatles song. The Beatles have always been a part of my life.

My mom raised me on the Beatles. One of my proudest moments as a son was taking her to see Paul McCartney in concert.

I proposed to my wife by hiding her engagement ring in the Hard Days Night DVD case. We had watched it on our first date. Our wedding song was In My Life.

We used to play Beatles songs as lullabies for both of our kids. When my son, who is autistic, was a toddler, playing Hey Jude would instantly calm him down.

So even though I wasn't ever expecting anything from them again, the fact this song from the band who is my favorite, my mom's favorite, my wife's favorite, and my kids favorite has been dubbed "the last Beatles song", hit me harder than I imagined it could.
