10 Best Songs About Becoming An Adult

2. In My Life - The Beatles

The Beatles have written plenty of love songs in their day. Hell, when the band first started out, you'd be hardpressed to find any song that didn't deal with the child like innocence of young romance. Once we got to Rubber Soul though, things started to take a more mature turn.

While John Lennon's "In My Life" is a love song in theory, it isn't shy about looking back on the different stages of Lennon's life. As the wistful tune leads us in, Lennon talks about the many people and places he has encountered in his life, only to see them fall away with the passage of time. Though he appreciates every part of his upbringing, he knows that nothing can compare to the connection he has with his lover.

As the song continues, Lennon must admit that though he may never forget where he has come from, he would trade them all away if it means spending time with his lover in the here and now. Capping everything off with George Martin's amazing piano solo, "In My Life" is John Lennon at his most vulnerable, as he puts his past, present, and future into one setting. Any young man may feel jaded about what they could have done, but while things may seem great with rose colored glasses, the idea of real love knows no expiration date.
