I just came home a few hours ago from a lecture on the Beatles. Very funny and informative. My favorite Beatles’ tune totally depends on my mood. **ACROSS THE UNIVERSE** and \*\*HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE \*\*would do at the moment… ---

I don’t know, but it wouldn’t be anything by McCartney. Probably “Strawberry Fields Forever.” ---

“Long, Long, Long” off the White Album. That is my single favorite song from anyone. ---

I think “I’ve Just Seen a Face” edges out “Here Comes the Sun” by a nose. ---

Personal favorites are Strawberry Fields, Julia, and Here’s Comes the Sun. Eleanor Rigby is the perfect popular music composition. But the only-hear-one-ever-again answer is **And Your Bird Can Sing**. As long as I don’t abuse it by listening to 5 times in a row, it reliably delivers clean, unique pleasure. ---

“Tell Me Why”. It always struck me as one of their more iconic songs, though not one of their more popular tunes. Upbeat, great harmonies, great bridge. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tmtaw0fr0xI/hqdefault.jpg "The Beatles - "Tell Me Why"") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmtaw0fr0xI) ---

I feel the same way when I hear “Free As A Bird” - thanks, John & George.
