Listening Journal 8-30-11 "Across the Universe" by The Beatles

3 Images:
-dark waves washing against a barren shore
-clouds swirling in the dark skies
-millions of people staring at me

The dark waves and dark skies could be symbols because they represent the artist's world that is never going to change. Nothing positive or uplifting can change his world.

My personal symbol: Palm Trees
Whenever I see them, my mind always traces back to my home in California. They were so common there that whenever I see one now, I reflect on my hometown. The palm tree is part of my own little world, providing me the longed for comfort of home.
