For fussing and fighting, my friend.»

Events, history is written from them, life is based on their search for make one of them and on their effects on the latter. Event is defined as "a thing that happens, especially one of importance". Impacting the majority of the human population is not an easy task for anyone, much less for young boys from the more common suburbs and simpler lives, and much less (it is necessary to emphasize) in those times of the recent past where and when the technology known by today did not exist.

I did not think it would be so difficult to find the words for this short writing at the time I decided to write about them. If I propose to find a reason for such an event, I would justify it to the infinite coincidences of time and its possibilities (perhaps that is a way of defining "destiny" [if it exists]). At that time, each moment, decision and impulse led to these four legendary characters joining together, holding and leading to the highest summit of the mountains of music to the most successful and praised group of all time and popular music, The Beatles.

Returning to the theme of "event," attributing that word to its creation and legacy would be or is very subjective. An event happens, marking the impact of history on a large or small scale; the birth of a baby would be one, presidential elections, the arrival of the man to the moon, a woman or man from a common office who by pressure and decay of society goes to the street to start a protest; all the events of life that mark a before and after, the question with the Beatles, is that their "after" is still ongoing, you could not say that "it was" one, this may be due to the virtue of the art of music, to carry a song in the mind if there is nowhere to reproduce or interpret it.

Even so I dare to say that they are, they are an event because from its formation to the present day, the direction of music and part of popular culture in general changed and continue to changing thanks to their immortal compositions.

Only ten years from its beginnings to its separation were enough to the four Englishmen to make it clear to the world that everything they they did and could have done then was pure genius, mystical and legendary.

The Beatles was the first band or musicians I heard when I reached this dimension, due to my father's beatlemania, and I say the beatle term because my family tell me that from my mother's belly they made me hear their most recognized songs with the hope that a musician came out of there. It is impossible to plead that fact to the happened, but yes, the mission of my father came true, and I grew up humming and learning on the guitar every one of the songs of the Beatles since I remember.

Their melody brings me all sorts of memories and associations, Christmas, summer, my birthday, travels, holidays, parties, old friends, lost friends, new friends, loves and broken hearts, utopias and realities. Today, I confess that it is not as easy to listen as before, many memories and feelings to cope with those lyrics and refined screams of passion that left in each recording the four men from the best band in the world.

Choosing or even naming some songs to be highlighted or preferred by my taste would be impossible, although I can name one that relates to the dramatic previous paragraph, that would be In My Life ... I like to think and maybe it was so, to write so poetic and sincere lyrics had to feel like I do when I listen to each of their songs, which function as keys to metaphorical doors of memories stored beyond what in a normal state (without music) my mind could search.

I want to share here the lyrics of the song named as an attempt to express my predilection for such a mythical band and with the purpose of if someone reading there who does not know them yet or has not dedicated the time to listen to them do it if my dedicated lyrics here are appreciated.

In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more
