  • Episode 22: Watching the Wheels (1981)
    Oct 17 2024

    John Lennon's "Watching the Wheels" is a reflective ballad that offers a glimpse into the life of a father. Conceived during a time when Lennon was embracing his role as a parent, the song captures the simple joys and introspective moments that come with domesticity. As the title suggests, the lyrics revolve around the idea of life's continuous cycle, symbolized by the ever-turning wheels of time.

    While I may not list it in my Top Five Favorite Songs, this song probably holds the record for the song I've listened to the most. This has been part of my personal soundtrack since its release.
