When my husband and finally decided to get married, our friend sang it at our wedding. It was perfect.

Just typical of Lennon’ amazing talent. Although my favourite version is by Glen Campbell, which you can’t now access, probably due to his illness. Brilliant. X

They mean that a good song must have many strange chords. But the unusual thing in this composition is the interval leap up in the melody; “..WHEN our TIME.has COME…” it´s sex notes up. Wunderful. (To be namedropping I can say that Rickard Wagner had it often later by the singers, to match the orchestra).

It has depth and sadness. Lennon is one of the greatest composer in History as I see it. If you sing the first bit of Handel´s Lascia Chio pianga in Rinaldo, and sing every note there twice, you almost get Grow Old With Me! Isn´t that funny? That indicates thet there are the same ground feeling.
Lennon can be compared with any composer in History. Who had or has his broad talent? The man who composed this melody, even composed I Am trhe Walrus!

This would have made a brillian Beatles song had they reformed. Wonder what George would have added to it?
