Something

This song by the Beatles was written by George and is credited as something as his coming of age song. I always liked it, but the video really brings home to me that the group was very much near the end while suggesting that the change was simply the way of life.

In the video the Beatles are never together, they're with their wives and that's how it should be. I get a kind of Edenesque vibe from the footage and it makes me a little sad to know that their lives did indeed go on and end in death or divorce, happiness and sorrow. Its weird to know that I and my friends from childhood are now where they were then: I'm happy, I'm married, I'm different, and there is a future for me that is very different from the past. I've changed and those around me have changed.

I don't know what the future will be for us, but it will be something.
