I Want to Hold Your Hand Lyrics

OK, so The Beatles wrote more progressive, experimental stuff towards the end of their career. I love that stuff. They also started writing rubbish just because they were The Beatles and they could. Never mind. I still love this song. It's cheerful, poppy, has great harmonies and puts a smile on my face. So the lyrics aren't particularly deep or meaningful, so what? Admittedly I hate most pop music these days, but that's because there's very little that hasn't been done before, and most of it's even more inane than the lyrics to this song. The Beatles were the first band to be huge, and will probably be the last. The fact that they started off with poppy stuff like this and ended up writing bizarre, drug-induced songs yet still remained big just shows how much of an influence they had in so many different areas of the music industry.

This song is a good pop song. Despite the fact that I don't really like music, I can still appreciate a good pop song. To the person who said they were only interested in rock music-grow up a little. I mainly listen to rock music too (using the term loosely), but that doesn't mean I'm not open to different types of music, and I'm certainly not prepared to dismiss all other types of music just because they're not to my taste. Every genre has its redeeming qualities, but in the end it's just down to personal preference.

OK, rant over :p
