I like this song because it reminds me of a time when my mom and I were driving in her car just after my grandpa had died. She really loved the Beatles growing up and we had a lot of their albums played on repeat. On that car ride, she started humming this and I started singing, then she joined in singing and we just kind of let our feelings come out through The Beatles. I remember her crying a lot but most of all I just remember the moment because I made sure to take it in completely.

Today, my mom and I don't really get along now, we hardly talk, and there are a few good and a few bad reasons for that, but I still cherish that memory a lot.

Thanks for sharing, that sounds like the kind of moment only music can provide. I hope that you and your mom are able to reconcile.
