With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't Lennon, or I wasn't McCartney. I was me. And the only reason I started to write songs was because I thought, 'Well, if they can write them, I can write them.'
I love the Beatles. Now I know I'm a good few decades late on this one, but I've always been behind the curve.
So whenever I hear The Beatles I always feel I've got a lot in common with everybody else.
I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.
Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.
The Beatles have always had a big effect on me.
I like the Beatles, of course, but that's when I grew up.
John Lennon was a musical genius. All I have to do is think of some of his songs and even the titles make me feel good... and I'm not the only one. His music has crossed cultures and even generations.
I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it.
Certainly, the Beach Boys and the early Beatles records were a huge influence on me lyrically.
