My favorite Beatles single from 1965; get your ticket to ride, continuing on our backwards tour through time. Late Spring or early Summer. Unless you have a ticket, don't listen! 
The Beatles' biggest hit of the year followed shortly after this one, "Yesterday." I like it but not enough to post it. Like several songs from this period in late 1964-mid 1965, it has become a standard that many people know as one of the most-played and one of the best songs ever. It was largely Paul's song and showed off his talent as a writer and singer of more and greater romantic ballads to come, like "Michelle" and "Here There and Everywhere," and it was a mournful song. "Oh I believe in yesterday!" Sounds like what Taramarie accuses me of.
Another all-time big hit song from the same time as "Yesterday," was "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. It was another complaint, like Bob Dylan too. It was, after all, just before the new sun and the new age broke through. They were good times, but people (especially younger people) knew something was missing in our culture. So, it came the next year. Now, I believe in that yesterday, and that year, because people didn't follow through enough with the breakthrough, and develop it enough, and so culturally and politically we got the shaft again. We may now have to wait for the next Awakening for more inspiring and uplifting sounds and words to come through. But at least, in the 4T, the music is more "happy." And "pray"er-ful too.
