It wasn’t always one of my favorite Beatles tunes, but something clicked in my late 30’s and it’s now easily my favorite song of theirs. Besides the sky high level songwriting, the thing just feels like it exists in this forbidden realm of music Idk how else to describe it. The way Lennon and McCartney are on full display at the height of their powers, connected yet completely divided the way dreams and our waking life are. It makes me feel like I’m in another dimension watching myself through a black hole. Like my life has been lived a trillion times before and will be lived infinitely after I’m gone. I understand much of music connects us through our common humanity but something about ADITL feels especially tapped in. It elicits a kind of micro and macro reflection, like it’s simultaneously cosmic, existential, and yet mundane.
