This boyThe Beatles

An early Beatles song, one of John’s specialty unrequited-love numbers.
John himself seemed quite satisfied with how it turned out, and afterward he wrote a sort of follow-up, “Yes It Is.” Still, what truly gives this song its sense of reality is, above all, John’s heartrending voice.
Don’t Let Me DownThe Beatles

An immortal masterpiece by the Beatles, a rock band that defined the 1960s.
John Lennon candidly sings about his feelings for a loved one in this moving song.
It was released in January 1969 as the B-side to the single “Get Back.” The lyrics, which lay bare a sense of emotional instability, blend beautifully with the wistful melody, continuing to captivate listeners to this day.
When played on the piano, it takes on an even more elegant atmosphere, revealing a charm distinct from the original.
Why not try performing it with your feelings for someone you love?
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club BandThe Beatles

The album covers of the Beatles, the most famous rock band in the world, are all iconic and have influenced countless aspects of culture, spawning innumerable parodies.
Among them, the artwork for Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band stands out not only as a masterpiece of album cover design, but as a work of art in its own right for its sheer completeness.
Conceived by Paul McCartney of the Beatles and finalized by British pop artist Peter Blake and his wife, Jann Haworth, the artwork reportedly cost £3,000 to produce—equivalent to more than £50,000 today—and ultimately became a historic masterpiece, artwork included.
The piece itself is conceptual, presenting a “show by a fictional band,” and the cover—featuring the Beatles in the guise of the Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band alongside prominent cultural figures of the time and important historical personalities—perfectly ties into the album’s concept.
