We all hit moments when we need a lifeline—but too often, pride keeps us quiet. In this heartfelt episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, host Prentiss "PL Sweets" Thompson takes a powerful look at "Help!" by The Beatles, a timeless anthem that cuts through ego and taps into human vulnerability.
Released in 1965, “Help!” wasn’t just a catchy tune—it was John Lennon’s personal cry for support during a time of inner turmoil, masked by fame and success. With its upbeat tempo and harmonies, the song may sound light, but its emotional core speaks volumes about the silent struggles we all face.
PL explores how asking for help is a strength, not a weakness—in relationships, in business, in mental health, and in spiritual growth. Too many of us suffer in silence, afraid to admit we can’t do it all. But healing and progress often begin the moment we raise our hand and say, “I need you.”
This episode challenges the stigma around seeking help and reminds us: you don’t have to carry everything alone. Real growth begins when we let others in.
So the question is—what’s stopping you? Let the music move you, and the message free you. 🎶✋✨
