So maybe I should explain where this seemingly random title came from. Auf Deutsch Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand means I Want to Hold Your Hand. Sound familiar? It should! It's the title of a song written by a little band from Liverpool called The Beatles. I was listening to this song, In German(cuz I'm just that cool) and it made me think "how cool is this? You know you're great when you can write songs in two languages and their both awesome!"(even if the person listening doesn't understand what is being said!) What's the point of this rambleing? Just that The Beatles are the coolest band ever!
In case you didn't know the original members of the band were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe. Their first album, "Please, Please Me" came out on March 22 1963. By the time the album was recorded Stuart had left and Pete had been replaced by Ringo Starr. The Fab Four. Their last album, "Let It Be" was relased on May 8 1970. In less than ten years The Beatles had changed the face of music.
All four of them came from fairly humble beginnings. Their first group, started by John Lennon was called The Quarrymen. They played some gigs around Liverpool. And than the band, now called The Beatles, went of to Hambourg. That's were the German comes from:-) The rest is history. It was all shaggy hair, screaming girls and great music.
What's my favourite Beatles song, you ask? Good question! I hate to pick one. But if my life depended on it I would probably say " I Should Have Known Better" from "A Hard Day's Night" What can I say? I just love it. "A Hard Days Night " is a great album and a great movie. If you havn't seen it, youtube it now! It's very clean :-)
I think great music transends barriers. Age, race, even language. And I think The Beatles definitly did that, eight days a week!
