…is equal to the love you take

John Lennon ~ Murdered at 40 on December 8, 1980

This blog’s name, The Love You Make is from a Beatles song–The End, last line– though it seems to my dismay, that it was a McCartney song w/little input from Lennon. I’d chosen it about 7-8 years ago too with “theloveumakeatmycableprovider.net” for my email addy (now not used).

John Lennon was killed about a week after my 21st birthday–which sort of took the wind of that milestone.

The line “And, in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make” is essentially the Beatles closing statement. It is the last lyric on the last album they recorded. Let It Be was the last album they released, but it was recorded earlier. This contains the only drum solo Ringo ever performed. He hates solos and had to be persuaded to do it. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison took turns doing guitar solos. Each had a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities. “Love You” is repeated 24 times. This starts over the end of “Carry That Weight.” It is the last song in a suite at the end of Abbey Road. This ends with a 30-piece orchestra.
