Lennon’s original version of In My Life was based around a Liverpool bus route, which he later referred to as: “the most boring sort of 'What I Did On My Holidays Bus Trip' song.” McCartney helped rework it to what would later become your fifth favourite Beatles song.

Mojo magazine went as far as to name it the best song of all time in 2000.
"In My Life off of Rubber Soul, written and sung by John Lennon. A true, sometimes over-looked, gem.” (Thanks, Ksf442)
