For myself, if the world didn't have the Beatles, I probably wouldn't open the door to that new world.
The first time I heard a Beatles song was in a movie. After moving to the new campus, one of my classmates planned to take the postgraduate entrance exam in film studies. She bought a lot of movie discs and movie books to prepare for the exam. Sometimes people in our dormitory would gather to watch it. Once everyone watched "Once Upon a Time in America" (which is also one of my favorite movies), when the male protagonist Noodles returned to his hometown after 35 years of escape, the background was slowly flowing out of the sad but calm music and plot and its stickers. Hehe, I really burst into tears. After watching the movie, I hurriedly went to check this song, only to know that it was the "Yesterday" of The Beatles, which was once popular in the world, and I also learned that this song is the song with the most cover versions in the world, none of which, it is said that the cover version reaches 2000 or more. This is the first time I've come across The Beatles' songs in the true sense. Although the name "The Beatles" is familiar, I only know that they are a British rock band. I know that they have John Lennon among them . A fanatical fan shoots to death (can know these two points or because this incident is used by teachers to teach us to be wary of the unhealthy culture in Western society). I never thought that one day I would listen to their songs, and I never thought to listen to rock music. At that time, I was still in a stereotype of rock music (although I was living and studying in Rock Home Town at that time), I thought it was That kind of loud roaring music. The song "Yesterday" really shocked me that day. For the first time, I knew that rock music can have this form. It turns out that there are so many things in rock music. It turns out that I know too little about the world. I followed the clues, of course, I tried to find other songs from The Beatles to listen to, so I heard the same classic "Yellow Submarine", "jealous guy" and other impressive songs, and of course I saw the same famous posters. .
It was The Beatles that inspired my understanding and appreciation of rock music, and once the door was opened, as one teacher said, "Like gender awareness, once you start to realize it, it will never be eliminated. ". Rock is just that, once you're in it, it's hard to get out. Maybe because of changes in life circumstances, you will stay away from rock and roll, but you will never forget it, it will become the most secret corner of your heart, and it will break out of the cocoon in various forms whenever you have the opportunity. This may be the reason why rock music has always been controversial around the world. I once wrote in the article "Bohemian Rhapsody - The Boundary of Loneliness and Romance": rock music is often not tolerated by mainstream society because it has a spirit of breaking through the constraints of reality and realizing self and freedom. Of course, this is also its charm. In essence, who doesn't yearn for freedom.
The second time I was touched by The Beatles was in the winter of my first year of work after graduation, still in a small place in the north. At that time, when I first entered the society, my work was very intense. Most of my colleagues were locals, so I often felt out of tune with my surroundings. At that time, the work required rotating shifts in the office at night, and my colleagues would watch movies on the computer in order to pass the cold and long nights in winter (how to watch movies again?). On the day it was my turn to be on duty, it was very cold at night and there was a strong wind. I didn’t dare to sleep, so I opened a foreign movie that my colleague had stored on the computer. The storyline of the film, I can't remember, but I remember it was a family film, and the emotional episode at the end of the film was "Hey Jude". Although the filming was not very good, when I heard "Hey Jude, don't be afraid" on a cold winter night, thinking about the situation I was in, I still cried with empathy. When I heard the final "Na na na" chorus, I couldn't hold back my tears. I got up and looked out the window, only to find that the snow was starting to fall. That's how The Beatles and I were reunited.
This is really "all the meet-and-greets in the world are reunions after a long absence"!
