Please, Please Me...

So I've been lazy and missed a couple of Fridays' worth of posts. But I'm back now, and I'll begin with a couple songs from Please Please Me, which was the Beatles debut album.

The first song is the title track, "Please Please Me". Written by John Lennon, the song was an hommage to Roy Orbison. It was released on March 22, 1963. I love this live version I found.


The second song is from the same album, and it's called "PS I Love You". It was written by Paul McCartney and first released on the B side of "Love Me Do". What an adorable song!

My third and final song of the day is one from a later album of the Beatles. "Eight Days a Week" is the eighth track on their album Beatles for Sale, which was released on December 4th, 1964. It is a Lennon-McCartney creation and was their No. 7 hit in the US within a year. I've known this song for as long as I can remember and I completely adore it.
