Just sitting on the sofa not going to bed, and I thought of Penny Lane again, and how great a song it is.
When I was young, I listened to the music only, not paying much attention to the lyrics, and I thought this was a slightly twee, light pop song.
Later, when I was (older and) paying much more attention to the lyrics, I heard the song completely differently: the music reinforcing the gentle and loving nostalgia of the words.
