Title, artist?

Once there was a way,
to get back homeward,
Once there was a way,
to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby

“Golden Slumbers” mourns those moments where we are looked after as children that we can never get back, before adulthood hits; then we have “carry that weight/a long time”. The year after he recorded “Golden Slumbers”, McCartney left The Beatles. He moved to southwest Scotland, to bring up his own children. He found a way to get back home."

@Sidewinder very much so. My band usually ends with GS/Carry That Weight/The End.

@uncalled4 Fun fact: That album was their ultimate recording, but their penultimate release with Let It Be being their final album released after they disbanded.

The group equivalent of a posthumous release.

@Sidewinder interesting way of putting it.
