1 And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make - The Beatles, The End
Yes, yes, yes! The historical significance of this lyric, being the last all four Beatles would ever record truly gives weight to what they, and all music, is about. A statement that incentivises you to embrace the ultimate emotion that keeps the world going and to give it as much as you receive it. That's all that mattered in the end of The Beatles (they finished this song at peace with one another and accepted this was the end), and that is, fundamentally, all matters in the human condition. To come at the end of the great Abbey Road medley (well, almost the end anyway) makes this incredibly deep, philosophical statement feel earned, and the music that surrounds it is truly extraordinary. No matter what you feel about the band or the medley, it is universally irrefutable, that this is one of the highlights of their entire repertoire. And that's saying something!
