The song was the response to a prompt: write a Beatles song. While that is a tall order, it pushed me to include melodic leaps and the word “love”. More specifically, the song is about keeping people who have passed away alive, by feeling the same love for them that we always have.

Lyrics

Love is the Best Way (2025)

I never wanted to love you
It’s not something I planned on, or a plan that I thought through
I don’t seem to have a choice
Love can come along, and take your voice
On this I can only make one point
Love is the best way, to drown out the noise
I never wanted to think of you throughout the day
I’m not always able to push these thoughts away
If I could see you now, I would smile
Whoever knew it would be such a long, long mile
From here to the site where we reunite
Love is the best way, to say goodbye

Instrumental Break

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, my friend
I hope, I hope, I hope we meet again
I tell myself, there is no end
We don’t have a ritual to bring you back
Love is the best way, to relieve all of that
