Song of the Day (3/2/06)

The Beatles - In My Life (1965)

Without a doubt my favorite tune from the Fab Four. The song, which is generally regarded as one of the top pop songs of all time, has been covered by the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Ozzy Osbourne, Johnny Cash, and Chantal Kreviazuk - the latter of whom performed the song as the theme for the NBC's Providence.

According to Wikipedia, "In My Life" ranked #23 in Rolling Stone Magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

The website also says John Lennon wrote the song when he was 15, inspired by riding the bus and seeing the neighborhoods in which he grew up. 15? The biggest accomplishment I had at 15 was surviving the 4pm Alaska nightfall without going into depression.
