Forever exists. If in doubt, think of The Beatles and their legendary songs.
Paul McCartney, one of the two members of the 1960s famous rock band, the other being Ringo Starr (drummer), has shared some secrets behind the band's famous songs.
The famous 1965 single hit, "Help," according to McCartney, was John Lennon's literal cry for assistance due to a miserable marriage and drug addiction. In the interview conducted by Billboard following naming the band as the top all-time band on the Billboard 200, McCartney recalled Lennon saying he was fat and depressed, and was crying out for help. "But looking back on it, John was always looking for help. He had [a paranoia] that people died when he was around ... I think John's whole life was a cry for help."
"Help" came about a year and six month after the famous band conquered the American music industry. McCartney added that the record "I Want to Hold Your Hand" led them to United States. They only way they would go to America was when they already have a number one record.
"A lot of British artists went there and came back with the audience having been slightly underwhelmed by them. I said, 'We don't want to be like that. If we go, we want to go on top," he continued.
Billboard also reports that The Beatles has "34 top 10 hits, 50 songs in the top 40 and the most No. 1s in a calendar year in Billboard's Hot 100 chart."
Like any ordinary band (although Beatles is far from being "ordinary"), the group has had their share of criticism. It turned out that "Jude" in another hit "Hey Jude" in 1968, means "Jew" in German and it cause some confusion, as everyone from that period could understand. One man, McCartney shared, smashed a glass with a soda siphon upon seeing the sign on a window of a boutique in London.
The band's drummer on the hit "Love Me Do" released half a century ago, died last week at age 85, according to People.
Although the iconic band's songs will remain playing, time does catch on everybody.
