The Beatles are known all over the world, most everyone has heard at least one of their songs. I believe that they are the one of the most historical rock band in the US. “Hello, Goodbye” is one song that I have always loved. There are so many different aspects that play in the song and how it was created. The song is simple yet, it has many elements that play a role in it. It makes me feel good and lighten the mood.
