Hard Day's Night.


On the way to the mall, I saw this huge billboard announcing the Beatlesfest 2010 which features the original drummer of the Beatles, Peter Best. The fest takes place on Sept. 11 at the Aliw Theatre and also features Ely Buendia of the Pupil, Rene Garcia of the Hotdogs and RJ Jacinto.

I'm sure the song "A Hard Day's Night" will be featured in the fest.  "It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like a dog..."

If you go to the mall any day of the week, you'd find thousands of people at work. Of course, one has to work in order to earn his keep and stripe, or any object he's got in mind.  And it would be nice if the boss doesn't change his/her mind or mood, or else the work spirit might collapse.

A Hard Day's Night is the third studio album by The Beatles, released in July 1964 as the soundtrack to their film A Hard Day's Night.  It is one of my favorites of all Beatles' songs.

My fave of all the Fab 4 songs is "Till There Was You,"  the only Broadway tune that the Beatles ever recorded. 

"Till There Was You," is a song written by Meredith Willson for his 1957 musical play The Music Man, and which also appeared in the 1962 movie version.  It was recorded by the Beatles in 1963.

"The Music Man is a 1962 musical film which starred Robert Preston as Harold Hill and Shirley Jones as Marian Paroo. The film is based on the 1957 Broadway musical of the same name by Meredith Willson. The film was one of the biggest hits of the year and highly acclaimed critically.

In 2005, The Music Man was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."


TILL THERE WAS YOU

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Till there was you
