If not careful, we may end up talking about it going cold and while people may gain the world, they’d lose their souls.

Thank you, @Hey Jude !. It was a great mind-exercising project.
Hopefully this weekend I can finish writing out my thoughts on the remaining songs on the album.

@Ahhh Girl , Thank you for leading me to this door. The forum can be more than a long and whine-ding road– it can be a bit of a maze sometimes, with special devices in dead-ended corners that enable you to waste time as Beatlefully as possible. (Of course, time you enjoy wasting isn’t wasted… unless it’s past your bedtime.)
Do finish the A Hard Day’s Night Love post– if there’s anythin’ ah can doooo… because I love this album and I have it memorised and according to my sources it has the most mentions of The Word , Love, out of all the Beatles’ albums. 
This is a good thread. After all, the Beatles are the Love experts. They started by being supremely well-versed in the usual sort of love, then helped usher in the peace-n-love, before finally discovering Real Love .
So I’ll Be Back … after these messages:
“…I BB’d until two, and then I said, it’s time for bed.” 
“…Stay in bed, and float upstream. Please don’t wake me now, don’t shake me, leave me where I am, I’m Only Sleeping …” 
“And in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make.”

Not sure if this is entirely on-topic, but I really wasn’t sure where else I could put it.
So to begin, I must confess I have a strange sort of fascination with that extremely enigmatic phenomenon known as ‘love’, mostly because I can’t fathom why anyone would want it. Just kidding. But really, love is rather mad, in a beautiful way, if you think about it. 
Anyway, when I was in that comfortable twilight zone between sleeping and waking (which as everyone knows is the very best time to think about things) I came up with this incredible* theory about love as compared and contrasted by two of the greatest Beatles love songs: Here, There And Everywhere and Something . Both tales about a ‘me’ and a ‘her’, but so very different relationships between that ‘me’ and ‘her’. So be prepared for an in-depth and perhaps slightly philosophical analysis of the two songs with comparisons between each, during which time I wish you not to look at or even think about my username. 
1. Here, There And Everywhere – The entire song sounds like a highly theoretical happy marriage. Their love is both precious (it hasn’t been taken for granted) and comfortable (no awkwardness or fragility here). There’s no contest either– neither of them have eyes or ears for anyone else. And there’s a strong consciousness of the present, while at the same time they will always be together, forever and everywhere.
2. Something – This song is a whole different story, and seems much more personal than the former. From the first line, you know that while he does love her, she’s not his only love. He isn’t sure about whether or not he wants to stay with her, or whether he’ll love her for long, or anything. And when he says he doesn’t want to leave her now, it sounds like he’s trying to convince himself. It ends on that note of indecision: I don’t want to leave her now… do I?
Truly both masterpieces which, in my opinion, quite neatly epitomise their respective author’s ideals of love and/or love lives. 
*At least, it seemed so at the time.

Ooh, that’s an interesting way to look at it as well… ‘Nobody ever done me like she does’ and ‘Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover’.
Such a masterpiece it is. I’ve come to appreciate it especially of late.

Offline I have an idea. Someone could create a thread for the definition of love for solo Beatle songs. We could have one for each Beatles solo career. We could put a thread in each of their sections. What say ye?

Offline Ahhh Girl had this idea — see https://www.beatlesbible.com/f…..3/#p183959
It just occurred to me that Ahhh Girl may want to create one Topic for “all Beatles songs”, so this post can go in that, if that’s the case.
“I Will ” — basically a Paul song on the White Album — has always been a favorite of mine. To me what distinguishes it from the standard love song is crystallized in its first stanza:
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will
While the remainder of the lyrics all describe the love (both the love itself and the love object) in terms that are future-oriented, as a goal and not a present reality, they are couched in traditional language, with a hopeful, even confident expectation. That’s what makes that first stanza so poignantly interesting — particularly the 3rd and 4th lines: They express a love so great and dear, it doesn’t even matter if its never realized! The rather placid tonality of Paul’s vocal delivery helps convey this transcendent confidence, at peace with, as Doris Day once sang, “whatever will be (will be)”.

Offline Oh yes, absolutely! It’s one of the best love songs. And the “I will” itself is a promise, something like “I do”.
I could be wrong, but wasn’t it written for Linda? I remember reading it somewhere.

Offline If you believe in horoscopes, Paul and John were air signs (Gemini and Libra, btw. I share Gemini with Paul yaaaaaay). Their love is usually the “playful” one, the one that may not look deep but loves everything and everyone. That accurately describes Paul, with his many ways of saying I love you, but John is a bit different. He is much more “imperfect”, which might be his different Moon and Venus signs (won’t bore you with astrology, honestly).
George is a water sign, Pisces, and they’re much more sensitive. George’s love is highly spiritual, maybe even fatalistic. It reflects in some of his songs.
So, there’s another way to look at those too.
