IN MY LIFE

The song originated with Lennon, and while McCartney contributed to the final version, the extent of his contribution is in dispute. Released on the 1965 album Rubber Soul, it is ranked 23rd on the Rolling Stone article "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and placed second on CBC's 50 Tracks. Mojo magazine named it the best song of all time in 2000.
According to Lennon, the song's origins can be found when English journalist Kenneth Allsop made a remark that Lennon should write songs about his childhood. Afterwards, Lennon wrote a song in the form of a long poem reminiscing on his childhood years. The original version of the lyrics was based on a bus route he used to take in Liverpool, naming various sites seen along the way, including Penny Lane and Strawberry Field.
However, Lennon found it to be "ridiculous", calling it "the most boring sort of 'What I Did On My Holidays Bus Trip' song"; he reworked the words with Paul McCartney, replacing the specific memories with a generalized meditation on his past. "Very few lines" of the original version remained in the finished song. According to Lennon's friend and biographer Peter Shotton, the lines "Some [friends] are dead and some are living/In my life I've loved them all" referred to Stuart Sutcliffe (who died in 1962) and to Shotton.
Regarding authorship of the melody, Lennon’s and McCartney’s recollections differ. Referring to McCartney, Lennon said "his contribution melodically was the harmony and the middle-eight itself." McCartney claimed he set Lennon's lyrics to music from beginning to end. "I liked 'In My Life'. Those were words that John wrote and I wrote the tune to it. That was a great one." Of the disagreement, McCartney said, "I find it very gratifying that out of everything we wrote, we only appear to disagree over two songs", the other being "Eleanor Rigby", from the album “Revolver”.
The lyrics of this song is written on one of the walls of what used to be “The Cavern”.
The short story is about the memories of a man who started his life as a gangster and found a way out.

Está incluida en el su sexto álbum de estudio, Rubber Soul, que fue lanzado el 3 de diciembre de 1965 y fue escrito por John Lennon y Paul McCartney. Se ubica en la posición No.23 de la "Lista de Rolling Stone de las 500 Canciones Más Grandes de la Historia". También se encuentra en el segundo lugar en lista de las mejores canciones de la CBC'S. El álbum fue producido para la discográfica EMI por George Martin, que también toca el teclado en el solo de "In My Life".
En este álbum se ve un gran paso adelante en el desarrollo artístico de The Beatles, ya que dejaron atrás su sonido original. En 2000, la revista Mojo la nombró la mejor canción de todos los tiempos.
Según Lennon, los orígenes de la canción se pueden encontrar cuando el periodista Inglés Kenneth Allsop hizo una observación de que Lennon debería de escribir canciones acerca de su infancia. Después, Lennon escribió la canción en forma de un largo poema evocando su infancia. La versión original de la letra estaba basada en una ruta de autobús que el tomaba en Liverpool, nombrando varios sitios que el miraba en todo el camino, incluyendo Penny Lane y Strawberry Fields. Sin embargo, Lennon consideró que era "ridículo" llamándola: En clase aburrida 'El viaje en autobús que hice en mis vacaciones', el volvió a trabajar la letra con Paul McCartney, reemplazando las memorias especificas con una meditación generalizada de su pasado. "Muy pocas lineas" de la versión original fueron dejadas en la canción. Según los amigos de Lennon y el biógrafo y amigo Peter Shotton, las líneas "Some (friends) are dead and some are living/In my life I've loved them all" se refieren a Stuart Sutcliffe (Que murió en 1962) y al propio Shotton.
Según Lennon, la contribución de McCartney fue la armonía de los ocho compases centrales o sección del puente musical de la canción. McCartney reclamó que él puso música a la letra de Lennon de principio a fin. También reclamó que el había escrito la melodía entera, inspirándose en canciones de Smokey Robinson y The Miracles. Del desacuerdo McCartney dijo: "Me parece muy gratificante que de todo lo que hemos escrito, solamente no hayamos estado de acuerdo en dos canciones". La otra es "Eleanor Rigby", del LP "Revolver".
La letra de esta canción esta escrita en una de las paredes de lo que fuera “The Cavern”
El cuento trata sobre un cuchillero que intentó encontrar una vida mejor.

THE LYRICS / LA LETRA
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Drive my car II

I’M LOOKING THROUGH YOU

"I'm Looking Through You" is a Lennon/McCartney song, written mainly by Paul McCartney, that first appeared on The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul.
It was written about Jane Asher, McCartney's girlfriend of five years, "You don't look different, but you have changed," the lyrics declare, reflecting his dissatisfaction with their relationship.
The Beatles recorded three versions of the song in October and November 1965. The original version recorded on 24 October was slower than the released version, had a significantly different rhythm, and lacked the "Why, tell me why..." middle eight of the final version. It was eventually released in 1996 on the Anthology 2 compilation.
The final version was recorded on 10 November with overdubs on 11 November and is the version included on Rubber Soul.
The stereo US version of the song contains a false guitar start.

The short story is about a guy who learns that a girl that he always liked is just divorced and plans to make a move.

"I'm Looking Through You" es una canción de Lennon/McCartney, escrita principalmente por Paul McCartney, que aparece por primera vez en su álbum de 1965 Rubber Soul.
La canción trata sobre Jane Asher, la novia de McCartney durante 5 años. "No te ves diferente, pero has cambiado," dicen las letras, reflejando su insatisfacción con la relación.
Los Beatles grabaron tres versiones de la canción en octubre y noviembre de 1965. La última versión fue incluida en Rubber Soul. La versión grabada el 24 de octubre era más lenta que la versión del disco, con un ritmo significativamente distinto, y sin el "Why, tell me why..." parte del medio de la versión final. Esta versión aparece en el Anthology 2.
La versión estero de Estados Unidos incluye una falsa introducción de guitarra.

La historia trata de un hombre que se entera que una mujer que siempre le gustó se acaba de divorciar, por lo que planea avanzarla.

THE LYRICS / LA LETRA
I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me, the same old way
You were above me, but not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Yeah
Oh baby I'm changed
Ah I'm looking through you

THE LYRYCS /LA LETRA.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still, you don't regret a single day
Ah girl
Girl

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this times I don't know why
Ah, girl
Girl

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, cool, cool, cool
Girl
Girl

Was she told when she was young that pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl
Girl
Girl

Ah girl
Girl
Girl

THE LYRICS / LA LETRA

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?



The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future Fol.
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why



What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?



I met you in the morning
Waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why



What goes on in your heart?
I used to think of no one else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die
Tell me why



What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
