As of 12:01 AM on December 24, The Beatles’ music was finally available for streaming on multiple outlets including Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play, and even Napster (lol). This means that no one born after Christmas Eve 2015 will ever live in a world where The Beatles’ music wasn’t available for all to hear. Most listeners are thrilled, other than the few select fans who are frustrated because their CD/album anthologies are now slightly less relevant. Regardless, here are 50 of the greatest Beatles lyrics to celebrate the fact that they’re now streaming online:

There will be an answer, let it be.”
