The Beatles. Enough Said.

So, yeah, the Beatles are amazing. They changed the sound of pop music and continue to be an influence on songwriters today. And I know they wrote smart music, ironic and meaningful music, protest music, but my favorite of their songs are their love songs. And though I admire John Lennon's cleverness and vision, I'm really more of a fan of Paul's songwriting - sweet, charming or kinda sexy.

Which of the Beatles' do you think was the best (or at least your favorite) songwriter? Why? I plan to do a song sketch by whichever one wins the poll!

P.P.S. It looks like most of you are like me and take forever to take down decorations; 60% of those who answered said you leave them up for a while! Yay for procrastinators! And I guess the general consensus is that to de-decorate, ya just have to grin and bear it. Oh well.

The Smile's Returning to Their Faces... Song Sketch

This is another song that came up in my "what songs make you happy" giveaway! It was definitely a long, cold winter so this song is a reminder to me to appreciate the gorgeous, albeit very hot, sun. Plus, I have a feeling good things are on their way... So!

Of course you all know who wrote this song - the amazing George Harrison. I actually tend to prefer the Beatles' more bluesy songs, but this one is still a favorite.

And you, is there anything new and sunshiny in your life?
