The Beatles – She’s Leaving Home

She’s Leaving Home

Hey music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a timeless classic that will surely tug at your heartstrings. The song I’m talking about is “She’s Leaving Home” by The Beatles.

Released in 1967 as part of their iconic album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, “She’s Leaving Home” is a hauntingly beautiful composition that showcases the band’s incredible songwriting skills.

The song tells the story of a young girl who decides to leave her home, much to the shock and sadness of her parents. It explores themes of independence, rebellion, and the generation gap that was prevalent during the 1960s.

With its delicate melodies and poignant lyrics, “She’s Leaving Home” captures the emotions of both the daughter and her parents. The Beatles’ harmonies and instrumentation create a sense of longing and melancholy, making it a truly unforgettable listening experience.

What makes this song even more special is the fact that it was inspired by a real-life newspaper article. Paul McCartney read a story about a young girl who ran away from home, and it struck a chord with him. He and John Lennon then crafted the lyrics, while George Martin composed the beautiful string arrangement that adds an extra layer of depth to the song.

If you’re a fan of The Beatles or simply appreciate timeless music, “She’s Leaving Home” is a must-listen. It’s a song that has stood the test of time and continues to resonate with listeners of all generations.

So, why not take a moment to listen to this incredible piece of music? You can find it on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

She’s Leaving Home – The Beatles lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Wednesday morning at five o’clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

She goes down the stairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside, she is free

She, … (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrified most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that’s lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby’s gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?

She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She’s leaving home, after living alone, for so many years

Friday morning, at nine o’clock
She is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Greeting a man from the Motortrade

She (what did we do that was wrong)
Is Having (we didn’t know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can’t buy)

Something inside, that was always denied,
For so many years, .
She’s leaving home
