This super famous hit by the Beatles will fit into the nightclub scene as well as in a recital situation.
Theory notes by jmsgu3:
The song features a bass line that walks through an interesting circle-of-fifths progression, (ii,V,I) and then a mediant chain leading to the half cadence (vi,IV,ii,bVII,V7). The refrain moves briefly to vi and features an interesting use of the V+/vi with a deceptive resolution to V rather than vi.
Background info from Wikipedia:
""All My Loving" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney[2] (credited to Lennon–McCartney), from the 1963 album With the Beatles. Though it was not released as a single in the United Kingdom or the United States, it drew considerable radio airplay, prompting EMI to issue it as the title track of an EP.[3] The song was released as a single in Canada, where it became a number one hit. The Canadian single was imported into the US in enough quantities to peak at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1964.[4][5] "All My Loving" was originally released in the UK on 22 November 1963 on With the Beatles.[13] The first US release was on Meet the Beatles!, released 20 January 1964.[13] The song was the title track of the All My Loving EP released in the UK on 7 February 1964.[13] The song was released on another EP, Four by The Beatles in the US, on 11 May 1964.
"All My Loving" was the Beatles' opening number on their debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964;[14] the recording was included on Anthology 1.[15] The group also performed "All My Loving" three times for BBC radio, once in 1963 and twice in 1964. The final version, which was recorded on 28 February 1964, was included on Live at the BBC.[16]
The song was used twice in films by the group-it plays in the background at the end of the nightclub scene in A Hard Day's Night (though without the drum opening and the coda), while an instrumental version appears in the film Magical Mystery Tour.
According to Alan Weiss, a TV producer who happened to be there, "All My Loving" was playing on the sound system at Roosevelt Hospital emergency room when Lennon was pronounced dead after being shot on 8 December 1980.[17]" - Wikipedia
Lyrics
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving, all my loving
Woo, all my loving, I will send to you
