‘Love’ is my absolute favourite song by John Lennon and one that I heard for the first time back in the early eighties when the piano intro was used in a tv series that I had seen on ITV. The simplicity of this song and its structure make it an easy one to play on the piano (and I was playing it the other day) but like most true classics its simplicity is its greatest strength.
‘Love’ is complicated; we love many things and many people for many different reasons and in many different ways. The love we have for our children, parents, wives, husbands, friends or lovers is different in so many ways but we only use the single word ‘love’ to explain it in English but in its purest form love is a very powerful thing and should be celebrated in whatever form it takes.
This song celebrates ‘love’ in all its forms and is a true masterpiece.
Listen to the song….
