"there's more to this than love." I first thought it was courage, then I thought it was wisdom. After 12+ years of listening to this, I think it's sacrifice. Sacrifice is the most intense, truest form of love, and it makes the world go 'round.

I don’t think anything can move the world without love. The rest is just a crossword puzzle to figure out everything is just out of place, only thing that ties the human spirit is love.

This song floored me. Dare I say it: this is more moving, beautiful and inspiring than anything the Beatles wrote. Can’t listen to it without tearing up and wanting to be the best version of myself. That’s how we make the world a better place: we all commit to being the best version of ourselves, we don’t give in to fear of rejection, we present our true selves to the world and know that it’s enough. Thank you for writing this you genius. Love you

I'd say you vastly underrate the Beatles lyrics. Hey I do love this song and thinks it's a very cool composition but one of my favorite Lennon lines from Strawberry Fields is about him thinking he's either a genius or an idiot for having this own thoughts in his head: No one I think is in my tree I mean it must be high or low That is you can't, you know, tune in But it's all right That is I think it's not too bad A lot of Beatle's songs (post mop top era) are filled with deep thoughts like this.
