LAST LINES

BeatleloverKT — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 15:15:56 GMT

We’ve done First Notes and Opening Lines so

it’s time to do Last Lines. What are your most

memorable last lines of your fav songs? If

you’re so inclined, tell us why also 🎼💜

“And in the end, the love you take

Is equal to the love you make”

The End, Fab 4️⃣

The final lines from this song from the incredible Abbey Road Medley have always resonated

to me in the deepest way. To me they represent

equality, purity, love and religion all wrapped up in one. This stands as one of the best last lines ever, imo 🎼💜

The following verse book-ends the song Our House by CSN&Y:

I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

The tone of the delivery is what sets the opening and closing apart. The Opening sounds like two people getting home after running errands. The Closing conjures the image of a couple contentedly dozing off together on the couch for a late morning nap on a peaceful weekend.

" 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain " (Last line except for the La La La's) 😊

A Horse With No Name - America

Always loved the song. To me it is getting away from it all and soaking in nature. Getting away from people and the world that can hurt you.

”You could be my Silver Springs

blue green colors flashing”

Silver Springs, The Mac, Live

We all have a “Silver Springs”, you know

the one you let get away or walked away

from you. I’ve had a few 😥When they did

this song in Concert, I cried. That’s what

it means to me 🎼💜

Of course, I have to include Bruce:

All about leaving a small town for the city lights

”I can hear it in your voice whenever we are

talking like this, I can see what you believe

in when his name is mentioned and I die”

Taxi-Harry Chapin

And here, she's acting happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm flying in my taxi
Taking tips and getting stoned

I go flying so high, when I'm stoned

Your candle burned out long before

your legend ever did

Candle In The Wind - Elton John

Though written for Marilyn Monroe, and adapted later for Diana, these lyrics could represent many whom we lost in their prime.

Taxman-Beatles

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me

”Love is all you need, Oh yeah,

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah”

All you need is love, Fab 4️⃣

I’ve never been shy about my eternal

love for this song. At the songs end,

they go thru a long chorus of Love is

all you need with some Cat Calling then

Paul launches into She loves you yeah,

yeah,yeah which is another song I love.

Just so amazingly clever and the perfect

end to a perfect song 🎼💜

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

"Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss"

In the context of the rest of the song, seems to be a call to do a better job of learning from so as to stop repeating History.

”Don’t keep me waiting here

Lead me to your door”

The Long and winding Road, Fab 4️⃣

I’ve read this song is an ode to their

break up. I know it is one of their most

beautiful songs that ends on a positive

note 🎼💜
