What the song "we can work it out" means to me

We Can Work It Out

The Beatles

A lot of people struggle in trying to see things in another person's perspective. That is what my song is about. My song is "We can work it out" by The Beatles. This song was made in 1965 and one of the albums it was on called Past Masters Vol. 2 came out in 1968. To me this song isn't only about trying to see things in another persons view but working stuff out and the title of the song proves it.

I can relate this song to the band because once John Lennon married Yoko Ono the band would always fight and only see things in one persons way... their own. That's why some of there lyrics especially the lyrics "Try to see it my way" and "We can work it out" relate to the band and what they went through in that period of time.

I can relate this song to my self because at my old school everyone always had to be right and never saw it my way which is why the lyrics "Try to see it my way" relate to my life. I can also relate it to my life because I am the person in my group of friends who always ends up working things out that's why the lyrics "We can work it out" can relate to my life.

I can also relate to the novel because X-ray and Theodore are always fighting which is why this verse relates to the book. The verse is "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend, I have always thought that it's a crime, so I will ask you once again". In that verse they are talking about fighting and that is what X- ray and Theodore do a lot in the book.

In the beginning of this project I wasn't very fond in my choice of song but now I found out that I just had to relate it to three things that were really simple to explain. I could relate this to the band, my self, and the novel with no problem at all. Now the next time my dad is listening to this song I won't ask him to "change the song" or I won't sigh anymore because I actually know what it's about now. I think that I actually like the Beatles now just because I know about them and before I thought they weren't the type of music I would like but now that I have actually listened to their songs I like them more than before. This was an excellent choice of song and if I could do this project again with a new song I would probably chose another Beatles song because they have a lot of meaning in all of their songs.
