The Beatles: I'll Follow the Sun

Time to circle uneasily around the Beatles again, as I heard this in a coffee shop the other day.

Paul McCartney wrote I'll Follow the Sun when he was 16. I can't decide whether the mismatch between the sweet tune and the selfish lyric is a sign of that immaturity or what makes the song interesting.

Not their best song but who cares if it's interesting or not? Just enjoy. Writes someone old enough to have been a teenager in the sixties and have heard every new Beatles song as it came out.

Who cares if a song is interesting or not? I do, for one.
