(Just Like) Starting Over
For example here I saw a favourite 40 Lennon list:
http://www.keno.org/john_lennon/Favorite40JLSongs.htm
I've choosen only 39 pieces
inspired by John's "love" for number nine
(even though he died forty)
and presented them in order of how well I believe they resonate with my own life, now and before now...
...since for Lennon as it seems, your individual experience was what's really real - although Love is more important than introspection.
I've tried to consider the lyrics as well as the feeling of each song, becoming some kind of archetypes. Well, these intentions may in the end be the same thing as how much I love each one (while Lennon's more explicitly political songs I don't really love).
