Hade lyckats pausa all Beatles-lyssning ett bra tag -
minst två år sedan min senaste bland alla intensiva perioder. Nu
äntligen börjar kvartetten ifråga åter tända solstrålarna, eller redan
rusa runt bland vårsnåren.
Här kommer de 47 x 2 = 94 stycken som betytt
mest i mitt liv, bland Beatles diskografi på cirka tvåhundra låtar
(inklusive några spår som ännu var outgivna på deras tid).
Min utvalda halva ungefär, behöver ej vara bandets bästa. Och numreringen innebär ingen rangordning, bara skapar ordning.
Är dock definitivt fascinerande låtar, som förföljt mig genom åren -
eller om det är jag som förföljt dessa. Relativt många kommer från det
vita albumet. Citerar någon motiverande strof eller halv rad ur många
texter.
Givetvis stoppar jag in melodierna i
varsina utrymmen hos min vanliga husmodell, en psykologisk matris som
friskt blandar vågrätt och lodrätt med diagonalt eller djupare
dimensioner.
