The first Beatles song I heard
Hello, Goodbye
I was three when "Hello, Goodbye" was released as a single. I can't remember how old I was when I heard it. I know I was a young lad, so I might have been 8 or 9. We didn't play pop radio in my house and I know I didn't know it was the Beatles, or that there was much significance to the Beatles. All I knew was that it was excellent. I was immediately struck by the song, it had my full attention, and I can still remember the moment. We used to have threads "seriousness that changed you" and "silliness that changed you", this was a musical moment that changed me.
