In My Life
Martin George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
The lyrics to In My Life by Martin George perfectly encapsulate the bittersweet nature of reminiscing about past memories. The opening lines, "There are places I'll remember / All my life, though some have changed," emphasize the universality of the human experience. We all have memories, both good and bad, that stay with us even as we move on to new stages of our lives. The line "Some forever, not for better" speaks to the pain of losing something, whether it be a place or a person, that was once important to us.
The second verse shifts the focus to a specific person who has had a significant impact on the singer's life. "But of all these friends and lovers / There is no one compares with you" is a powerful declaration of love and affection. The singer acknowledges that while memories may "lose their meaning" over time, their love for this person will only continue to grow. The repetition of the line "In my life, I'll love you more" further emphasizes the strength and depth of this love.
Line by Line Meaning
There are places I'll remember
I have certain places that I'll always have in my mind
All my life, though some have changed
These are places that have been in my life for a long time, but some have changed or disappeared
Some forever, not for better
Unfortunately, some of these places disappeared, and that's not a good thing
Some have gone and some remain
Some of these places are still around, but some are no longer there
All these places had their moments
Each place had special moments or memories for me
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Both with friends and significant others, I can still remember these places
Some are dead and some are living
Some of the people associated with these places are still alive, while others are no longer with us
In my life, I've loved them all
Regardless, I've loved all of these places, and the people associated with them
But of all these friends and lovers
Despite all of this, none of these people can compare to you
There is no one compares with you
You are more special to me than anyone else, and that's a fact
And these memories lose their meaning
The memories I have of these places become less important when compared to my love for you
When I think of love as something new
Thinking of my love for you is different, it feels new and unique compared to the memories of these places
Though I know I'll never lose affection
I'll always have love for the people and things that came before you
For people and things that went before
The people and things that came before you will always hold a special place in my heart
I know I'll often stop and think about them
Despite how much I love you, I know I'll still reminisce about these people and places
In my life, I'll love you more
Even with these other memories, my love for you will only strengthen over time

Prezado Sir Sean Connery :
Obrigado por todos os Momentos
em Nós Todos encontramos convosco : Nos Filmes, nas Reportagens, nas Séries e etc.
Obrigado pelo seu Talento, Carisma, Determinacao e Exemplo.
Muito Obrigado, Eterno Bond , James Bond. O Ator Mais Simpatico e Cavalheiro Que O Mundo Conheceu.
Viva Para Sempre, Sir Sean
Connery !!!

Ci sono luoghi che ricorderò
Per tutta la vita anche se qualcuno è cambiato
Qualcuno per sempre, non per il meglio
Qualcuno se n'è andato, qualcuno è restato
Tutti questi luoghi hanno i propri momenti
Che ancora posso ricordare con amanti e amici
Alcuni sono morti, alcuni sono vivi
Nella mia vita li ho amati tutti
Ma di tutti questi amici e amanti
Nessuno è paragonabile a te
E questi ricordi perdono il proprio significato
Quando penso all'amore come qualcosa di nuovo
Anche se so che non perderò l'affetto
Per le persone e le cose che sono passate
So che mi fermerò spesso a pensare a loro
Nella mia vita ti amo di più.

I'm a Beatles fan and admit that I don't usually like covers of their work. However, this man took what I have always believed to be The Beatles' best and most pure song, and he has added a new depth and poignancy to it. Thank you for posting this, because this version always brings a lump to my throat.
Geoff Hilton
I totally agree with you, this version always gives me a lump in the throat, I love it as much as the Beatles version.
Ray Talbot
I’ve got this in my order of service on my last day
Gabriela
Completely agree with your comment. Huge Beatles fan. I thought I was going to hate it, but I was wrong.
Also in my list of music for my funeral service.

It gives me a lump in my throat, too, and brings tears to my eyes. Someone once said, imagine having Sean Connery, James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman on a talk show together. What a collection of wonderful voices that would have been. Too late now, but it would have been worth listening to and watching. RIP Sir Sean. At least I can watch The Hunt for Red October and The Name of the Rose to hear you again. ❤

There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.

So heartbreaking that this wonderful man is not with us anymore. And this rendition is such beautiful interpretation. Thank you, George, John, Paul and Sean

And Ringo... 🙂 There is some subtle percussion on the original version.

RIP Sean... you made James Bond more than it made you...
This song was made as if it were written for Sean...
