Just a note on John Lennons finest song. " In My Life" Anthology (Hear on Disney Plus Thanksgiving Day)

The Song’s Timeline

Recording dates: October 18 and 22, 1965 at EMI Studios, London.
Release date: December 3, 1965 on the album Rubber Soul.
Songwriting: Lyrics by John Lennon, reflecting on his childhood, friends, and lost companions. Lennon considered it his “first real major piece of work” because it was the first time he wrote about his own life.
Melody dispute: Lennon and McCartney later disagreed over who wrote the melody. Lennon claimed he wrote most of it, while McCartney remembered contributing significantly.
George Martin’s role: The instrumental bridge was created by producer George Martin, who recorded a piano solo and sped up the tape to mimic a harpsichord sound.

🌟 Why It’s Special

Autobiographical depth: Lennon drew inspiration from places and people in his life, including friends like Stu Sutcliffe and Pete Shotton, as well as Aunt Mim.
- Critical acclaim: In 2000, Mojo magazine named In My Life the greatest song of all time. Rolling Stone ranked it among the Beatles’ finest.
- Legacy: It’s often seen as a turning point in Lennon’s songwriting, moving from playful wordplay (In His Own Write) to personal reflection.
🎶 Connection to Today

While November 16 doesn’t mark a specific milestone for In My Life, the song’s themes of memory, friendship, and loss make it timeless. It resonates especially on reflective days—like anniversaries or moments of remembrance. In fact, many tribute concerts and memorials have used In My Life as a centerpiece because of its emotional weight.

Music News For The Week

1936 — Blues legend Robert Johnson makes his first recordings at a hotel in San Antonio, Texas, where the Vocalion label had set up a temporary studio to record local talent. In the ensuing three-day session, Johnson plays 16 selections and records alternate takes for most. The tracks include "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom," "Sweet Home Chicago," and "Ramblin' On My Mind."
November 25, 1961 — The Everly Brothers report for duty at Camp Pendleton in southern California after joining the Marine Corps Reserves. By enlisting together, the brothers ensure that they won't be drafted — and separated.

November 26, 1955 — Johnny Cash makes his debut on the U.S. country music chart when "Cry! Cry! Cry!" (b/w "Hey Porter") reaches #14. His next seven singles all make the country Top 10, with "I Walk the Line" reaching #1 and crossing over to #17 on the pop chart in 1956. He is irritated when Sun Records owner-producer Sam Phillips lists his first name as "Johnny" instead of "John" on the label, feeling that it sounds too young — but the name sticks.

Happy Birthday the First Jukebox

November 23, 1899 — The world's first jukebox is installed at San Francisco's Palais Royale Saloon. Originally called the "nickel-in-the-slot player," the machine features coin operation and four stethoscope-like tubes attached to an Edison electric phonograph fitted inside an oak cabinet, allowing four listeners to listen to the same song simultaneously. There is no amplification and it plays only one wax cylinder at a time, which must be changed every day or so to preserve audio quality.
