A bulk of the three-hour ride home from Springfield was spent listening to songs with titles that begin with the word “All.” Looking at my phone now, I see that there are 39 songs in it that fit that criteria.
I had dropped Ty off at his house in Dixon as I entered the last four songs of that stretch. Those were:
1. All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
The title track from Harrison’s epic first post-Beatles album, it’s both a spiritual anthem and a not-so-subtle statement that even bands end.
2. All Those Years Ago by George Harrison
A song clearly dedicated to John Lennon after Lennon’s assassination. It talks about Lennon being Harrison’s idol when they were young, all those years ago, and then alludes to songs like “Imagine,” “God,” and “All You Need is Love.”
3. All You Need is Love by the Beatles
To tie a nice bow on this run of songs, it’s Lennon’s message from a global live broadcast that the group did.
The last “All” song was “All Your Favorite Bands,” a song about growing up, friends, and hoping your favorite bands stick together.
