This file is the author's own work and represents his interpretation of this song. It's intended solely for private study, scholarship or research.
My introduction to the Beatles was a mixtape my sister's boyfriend gave me — this song was on it. It was eighth grade. I was tragically in love with Sarita Rodriguez, and I would listen to that tape and stare at the glowing face of my clock until I fell asleep. My love for Sarita faded, but my love for the Beatles only grew.
