Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.

Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

I’ll be able to tell in a week or so what’s going on, because they [the radio] started off playing “Look At Me” because it was easy, and they probably thought it was the Beatles or something. So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . .. ”

I’ll be able to tell in a week or so what’s going on, because they [the radio] started off playing “Look At Me” because it was easy, and they probably thought it was the Beatles or something. So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . .. ”
> > That was his last batch of great songs, so he gets points for self awareness on that. Why was he suicidal at the Maharishi's camp? I can see him having trouble sleeping if he was meditating all day and not doing anything that would eventually invite fatigue. But suicidal? Was he going through some sort of drug withdrawal?

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

> > > > > > The "Beatles For Sale" review posed a paradox: Lennon was supposedly influenced by Bob Dylan to be more introspective, as though "I'm A Loser" was autobiographical; yet he also wrote "Eight Days A Week," with basic lyrics taken as somewhat insipid. Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

> > > > > > The "Beatles For Sale" review posed a paradox: Lennon was supposedly influenced by Bob Dylan to be more introspective, as though "I'm A Loser" was autobiographical; yet he also wrote "Eight Days A Week," with basic lyrics taken as somewhat insipid. Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . .. ”

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.

Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

> The musical counterculture generally did not produce a plethora of masterpieces like Sgt Pepper. Many of the Beatle songs are rather basic in their use of instruments to subliminal effect, "Strawberry Fields Forever" was a more complex symphonic approach, where the phrases build subthemes towards the ultimate culmination - yet Lennon would say he could have improved all of his songs, while boasting of inventing the heavy metal genre with "Ticket To Ride." When asked about a Beatles reunion and overtly restating it as a potential rehash of events in the life of Christ, John was being pragmatic regarding what that would entail in ways a fan cannot fathom. McCartney said John, not Yoko, broke up the group, at the time when he was suggesting a Square One reboot, making unannounced appearances. Lennon realized when a story is over, you ought to stop telling it.

Ringo Starr slapped his knees for subtle percussion on "I'll Follow The Sun." Paul's chauffeur provided the title for "Eight Days A Week," which Lennon took over in a double-tracked lead vocal, alternating as duet with Paul, including block harmonies with George; the fade-in could have been a Berry homage; the Eighth Day in scripture is associated with end-times ('a time of not counting time').

What Lennon let slip to Maureen Cleave, his fear that the transference would be complete, and religious faith suffer in the wake of their secular subterfuge, still appears an esoteric reality, with staunch resistance to ever becoming consciously aware of the obvious 'hidden theme.' Society would likely prefer to evade the poignancy of their role-playing the Christian story, and ad-libbed theological commentaries.

> Lennon's impression from "The Passover Plot" book, that the disciples were inadequate to their daunting task, was fundamental to the format of the "Rubber Soul" album. The song "Wait," which had been refurbished from the previous sessions, had some volume-pedal guitar overdubs for completion in the later phase. Jesus had challenged Satan in the body of Judas Iscariot to enact the betrayal quickly: Emperor Tiberias (grandfather of Pontius Pilate's wife Procla) was ill, and had summoned the healer from Judea - it was only with the help of the Apostles in prayer that the Cup could pass. But the core three Apostles (Simon, James and John) all succumb to sleep instead. The song corresponds to the Zodiac sign Water-Bearer Aquarius, so the overdubbed bits (excluding the variation in the coda) simultaneously sound like,

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant.

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.

She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities.

It was just going on in my head and I got by the first three or four, the rest just came out. Whatever came out.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”
> > > > > That was his last batch of great songs, so he gets points for self awareness on that. Why was he suicidal at the Maharishi's camp? I can see him having trouble sleeping if he was meditating all day and not doing anything that would eventually invite fatigue. But suicidal? Was he going through some sort of drug withdrawal?

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

> > John wanted to see they were reaching people, and set the tone of how they were presenting themselves. I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> >
> > Julia might have been the one who suggested that music could have a verbal element subliminally. She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.
> >
> > He frequently lost his contact lenses, so a concert of screaming fans should have been terrifying. He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.
> >
> > Lennon realized the true legacy was in the albums, the tours added to the mythical aspect he disliked, but the experience of The Beatles making music for a live audience was something extraordinary in show business history. They knew they could please audiences, and that usually in turn motivates performers.
> Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.
>
> The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime.. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.
>
> The correct mixes have to be analyzed: the original LP release of "Tomorrow Never Knows" lacks the final phrase in the reversed guitar solo (American mono is ideal); the mono version of Sgt Pepper is necessary for correct transcription (which George Martin said fell together in mixing phase 'like automatic writing'), since the stereo version was rushed together by second-level engineers who proceeded without some edit pieces.
>
> There is no problem with the individual members in their solo careers choosing to do something similar repeatedly, as a sort of endless cycle, however The Beatles was a powerful communication medium where the key might never be discerned if they attempted a restart that nobody comprehended either - endings are unpleasant, yet they establish a point from which to review the beginning and middle.

If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release)..

The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

I’ll be able to tell in a week or so what’s going on, because they [the radio] started off playing “Look At Me” because it was easy, and they probably thought it was the Beatles or something. So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.

She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!'

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”
> > > > > > > That was his last batch of great songs, so he gets points for self awareness on that. Why was he suicidal at the Maharishi's camp? I can see him having trouble sleeping if he was meditating all day and not doing anything that would eventually invite fatigue. But suicidal? Was he going through some sort of drug withdrawal?
> > > > > > > > John was trying to work through personal issues after The Beatles, since it apparently did not produce the desired effect. McCartney was quoted as saying they all thought when they finished they would ascend on a cloud and receive "envelopes with our stuff in it."

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

> > > > John wanted to see they were reaching people, and set the tone of how they were presenting themselves. I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> > > >
> > > > Julia might have been the one who suggested that music could have a verbal element subliminally. She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.
> > > >
> > > > He frequently lost his contact lenses, so a concert of screaming fans should have been terrifying. He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.
> > > >
> > > > Lennon realized the true legacy was in the albums, the tours added to the mythical aspect he disliked, but the experience of The Beatles making music for a live audience was something extraordinary in show business history. They knew they could please audiences, and that usually in turn motivates performers.
> > > Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.
> > >
> > > The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.
> > >
> > > The correct mixes have to be analyzed: the original LP release of "Tomorrow Never Knows" lacks the final phrase in the reversed guitar solo (American mono is ideal); the mono version of Sgt Pepper is necessary for correct transcription (which George Martin said fell together in mixing phase 'like automatic writing'), since the stereo version was rushed together by second-level engineers who proceeded without some edit pieces.
> > >
> > > There is no problem with the individual members in their solo careers choosing to do something similar repeatedly, as a sort of endless cycle, however The Beatles was a powerful communication medium where the key might never be discerned if they attempted a restart that nobody comprehended either - endings are unpleasant, yet they establish a point from which to review the beginning and middle.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family. It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view.

I had the idea that “God is the concept by which we measure pain,” so that when you have a word like that, you just sit down and sing the first tune that comes into your head and the tune is simple, because I like that kind of music and then I just rolled into it.

I’ll be able to tell in a week or so what’s going on, because they [the radio] started off playing “Look At Me” because it was easy, and they probably thought it was the Beatles or something. So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”
> > > > > > > > That was his last batch of great songs, so he gets points for self awareness on that. Why was he suicidal at the Maharishi's camp? I can see him having trouble sleeping if he was meditating all day and not doing anything that would eventually invite fatigue. But suicidal? Was he going through some sort of drug withdrawal?
> > > > > > > > > John was trying to work through personal issues after The Beatles, since it apparently did not produce the desired effect. McCartney was quoted as saying they all thought when they finished they would ascend on a cloud and receive "envelopes with our stuff in it." There was a lot of artifice in The Beatles' manufactured dream, and such pretense was no longer something Lennon was willing to embody.

> > > > > > > > >
> > > > > > > > > But for the rooftop in early 1969, John singing gibberish in "Don't Let Me Down" appears to be reverse-singing, I heard it backwards as a confirmation the Christian subtext is out-of-sequence - the song thematically belonged on Pepper, but the devotion for Yoko overlapped nicely. Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

> > > > > > Also there's all the stuff about his having stage fright and needing "knee-tremblers" and-or drugs before facing an audience.
> > > > > John wanted to see they were reaching people, and set the tone of how they were presenting themselves. I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> > > > >
> > > > > Julia might have been the one who suggested that music could have a verbal element subliminally. She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.
> > > > >
> > > > > He frequently lost his contact lenses, so a concert of screaming fans should have been terrifying. He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.
> > > > >
> > > > > Lennon realized the true legacy was in the albums, the tours added to the mythical aspect he disliked, but the experience of The Beatles making music for a live audience was something extraordinary in show business history. They knew they could please audiences, and that usually in turn motivates performers.
> > > > Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.
> > > >
> > > > The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.
> > > >
> > > > The correct mixes have to be analyzed: the original LP release of "Tomorrow Never Knows" lacks the final phrase in the reversed guitar solo (American mono is ideal); the mono version of Sgt Pepper is necessary for correct transcription (which George Martin said fell together in mixing phase 'like automatic writing'), since the stereo version was rushed together by second-level engineers who proceeded without some edit pieces.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family. It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

> I spared everyone the complete listing of the natal charts, and distilled it down to the one thing he would have likely been told, regarding the positioning of Saturn - a further discussion is possible, but will lead to the same conclusion.

> As in the excerpted interview, John said he was 'being myself' on the White Album, so including personal information would explain that statement. The song "Julia" is clearly to his late mother, using 'Ocean Child' for Yoko Ono.

> But anyone feeling they could understand his music without doing as he advised, breaking down one's mental barriers to actually experience the sound-crafting he had achieved, allowing the instrumental factor to subliminally bridge the lyrical ideas into new clarity, could not attain that level of appreciation even with a series of explanations. It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.

> That Lennon was not 'getting deep' about the songs should not be the take-away, but that he was suggesting we should. Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> > > > > >
> > > > > > Julia might have been the one who suggested that music could have a verbal element subliminally. She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.

He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.

> > > > > Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.
> > > > >
> > > > > The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family. It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.

Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Didn't he tell the homeless guy (I'm thinking of that footage in the "'Imagine: John Lennon' film ) that one interpretation of the lyrics was as good as any other? Also I feel that John would have been scornful of any serious musical analysis. Remember the reference to 'exotic birds'? I think he wanted people to like his music. Or at least buy it. But not take it too seriously.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

I’ll be able to tell in a week or so what’s going on, because they [the radio] started off playing “Look At Me” because it was easy, and they probably thought it was the Beatles or something. So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> > > > > >

She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.

He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.

The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.

That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.

It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.

Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Didn't he tell the homeless guy (I'm thinking of that footage in the "'Imagine: John Lennon' film ) that one interpretation of the lyrics was as good as any other? Also I feel that John would have been scornful of any serious musical analysis. Remember the reference to 'exotic birds'? I think he wanted people to like his music. Or at least buy it. But not take it too seriously.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

I’ll be able to tell in a week or so what’s going on, because they [the radio] started off playing “Look At Me” because it was easy, and they probably thought it was the Beatles or something. So I don’t know if that is the one. Well, that’s the one; “God” and “Working Class Hero” probably are the best whatevers – sort of ideas or feelings – on the record.

I didn’t sit down to think, “I’m going to write about Mother” or I didn’t sit down to think “I’m going to write about this, that or the other.” They all came out, like all the best work that anybody ever does. Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> > > > > > >

She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.

He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.

They knew they could please audiences, and that usually in turn motivates performers.
> > > > > > Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.
> > > > > >
> > > > > > The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.
> > > > > >
> > > > > > The correct mixes have to be analyzed: the original LP release of "Tomorrow Never Knows" lacks the final phrase in the reversed guitar solo (American mono is ideal); the mono version of Sgt Pepper is necessary for correct transcription (which George Martin said fell together in mixing phase 'like automatic writing'), since the stereo version was rushed together by second-level engineers who proceeded without some edit pieces.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family. It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.

Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Didn't he tell the homeless guy (I'm thinking of that footage in the "'Imagine: John Lennon' film ) that one interpretation of the lyrics was as good as any other? Also I feel that John would have been scornful of any serious musical analysis. Remember the reference to 'exotic birds'? I think he wanted people to like his music. Or at least buy it. But not take it too seriously.
> They were very interested in what critics would say at first, seeming to be amused by how futile it would be to apply the mathematical observations of musicology to what they produced. You are referring to the 'Aeolian cadences' remark, which is gibberish to those untrained in the theory, so he was unaware whether it applied to his song thus his ridicule is irrelevant. Their level at "Not A Second Time" was interjecting 'Ave and Hallelu- yeah' into an empty measure, most critics wouldn't notice that. Listening to a song for harmonic progression is different from hearing a guitar solo as an instrumental voice.

> The group collectively said they knew what they meant by their songs, eventually people would figure it out, but things take on millions of meanings in an incomprehensible process, and to elaborate further would be like hearing it their way for you. Lennon blurted out the 'subliminal' answer when Tom Snyder asked how such innocuous stuff as Beatles music could have so powerful a cultural effect.

> George Harrison saying they had thrown boulders into the waters and were waiting for a tsunami-like ripple does not seem like a non-serious expectation. Lennon chided the others for saying good things about their own songs, calling them 'big-headed' about the tunes, prompting Harrison to protest that the interviewer merely asked if they liked their own songs. The results John wanted would not be forthcoming, and he soured on the artifice towards getting to the 'nitty-gritty.'
>
> John seemed to believe in the power of rock and roll through The Beatles to advance Christ's real agenda, until the project was completed without the conscious acknowledgment: it was the message in the music together, a 'Remembrance of Him,' that could change things with avant-garde aural communication. But with transference the reaction was 'Who Needs HIM When We Have YOU?!' So John lashed out at Paul for 'granny music,' faced with a problem he could not fix. Harrison had said the group was always about various genres, not one type of music - it is the message that mattered, the mode was to create appeal.

That was 9 February 1967, three years after their Ed Sullivan debut (when I first saw them), which was three years after their Cavern Club debut (switched from booking jazz bands). A total solar eclipse darkened Europe within a week of the 9 February 1961 Cavern debut.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.

That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.

> > The correct mixes have to be analyzed: the original LP release of "Tomorrow Never Knows" lacks the final phrase in the reversed guitar solo (American mono is ideal); the mono version of Sgt Pepper is necessary for correct transcription (which George Martin said fell together in mixing phase 'like automatic writing'), since the stereo version was rushed together by second-level engineers who proceeded without some edit pieces.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release)..

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant.

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family. It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.

Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Didn't he tell the homeless guy (I'm thinking of that footage in the "'Imagine: John Lennon' film ) that one interpretation of the lyrics was as good as any other? Also I feel that John would have been scornful of any serious musical analysis. Remember the reference to 'exotic birds'? I think he wanted people to like his music. Or at least buy it. But not take it too seriously.
> > They were very interested in what critics would say at first, seeming to be amused by how futile it would be to apply the mathematical observations of musicology to what they produced. You are referring to the 'Aeolian cadences' remark, which is gibberish to those untrained in the theory, so he was unaware whether it applied to his song thus his ridicule is irrelevant. Their level at "Not A Second Time" was interjecting 'Ave and Hallelu- yeah' into an empty measure, most critics wouldn't notice that. Listening to a song for harmonic progression is different from hearing a guitar solo as an instrumental voice.

> > George Harrison saying they had thrown boulders into the waters and were waiting for a tsunami-like ripple does not seem like a non-serious expectation. Lennon chided the others for saying good things about their own songs, calling them 'big-headed' about the tunes, prompting Harrison to protest that the interviewer merely asked if they liked their own songs. The results John wanted would not be forthcoming, and he soured on the artifice towards getting to the 'nitty-gritty.'

> > John seemed to believe in the power of rock and roll through The Beatles to advance Christ's real agenda, until the project was completed without the conscious acknowledgment: it was the message in the music together, a 'Remembrance of Him,' that could change things with avant-garde aural communication. But with transference the reaction was 'Who Needs HIM When We Have YOU?!' So John lashed out at Paul for 'granny music,' faced with a problem he could not fix. Harrison had said the group was always about various genres, not one type of music - it is the message that mattered, the mode was to create appeal.

The session progressed to final playback, whereupon they wanted the opinion of 'Jesus' - but he was not seen again, by anyone, supposedly vanished from the studio without exiting. That was 9 February 1967, three years after their Ed Sullivan debut (when I first saw them), which was three years after their Cavern Club debut (switched from booking jazz bands). A total solar eclipse darkened Europe within a week of the 9 February 1961 Cavern debut.

> << The Aeolian observation regards a song that is in a major key resolving on the VI chord, the sixth harmonic step from the tonic; it has further been noted the song appears in G Major, while the bridge-like portion seems to be in the key of e minor, the vi chord in its minor mode. >>
>
> There is nothing about the musicology, or lack thereof, that impacts the subliminal import of the song: an Aeolian cadence is merely a categorization based on a specific harmonic progression, which Lennon happened to use intuitively. Beyond the vocal twist, there is a piano solo by George Martin that is thematic predicate to the half-speed guitar solo of "A Hard Day's Night" - restatement of similar ideas presented on a different instrument is a completely new experience.
>
> It was a tremendous feat for producer George Martin to include many double-tracked vocals while still using twin-track mono on their second album. John joked they nearly double-tracked themselves off the record, knowing it was for 'spectral' vocal-texture effect. But a quote like "It was just chords, like any other chords" implies it was never the chords, or even the beat, that was the dominant focus: those were part of the rhythm track structure for the intros, outros, hooks, solos, and of course riffs.

Paul McCartney would say, "All our songs are from our imagination," but George Martin caught a line in "Norwegian Wood" suggesting marital problems, before it was admitted to be about a secret affair. Key lyrics in "I'm A Loser" concern being upset about someone who should never have been 'Crossed,' weeping sorrowfully. The word 'love' is not merely being extended in "Eight Days A Week," but assists the suggestion of, 'I love [two missing words] ABOVE YOU!' Each song has its own evolution from some thought, choosing a stylistic version, and ultimately typically completing an initial recording with overdubs.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant.

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity. Performing in front of an audience, which John loved, had not been possible despite continuing success with records.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.
> > > > > > > > >
> > > > > > > > > Julia might have been the one who suggested that music could have a verbal element subliminally. She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.

He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.

> > > > > > > > > Lennon realized the true legacy was in the albums, the tours added to the mythical aspect he disliked, but the experience of The Beatles making music for a live audience was something extraordinary in show business history. They knew they could please audiences, and that usually in turn motivates performers.
> > > > > > > > Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.

> > > > > > > > The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family. It could also imply Mary having the more celestial role in the Holy Family, with Joseph as the human stand-in for His real Father.

It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.
> > > > >

Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Didn't he tell the homeless guy (I'm thinking of that footage in the "'Imagine: John Lennon' film ) that one interpretation of the lyrics was as good as any other? Also I feel that John would have been scornful of any serious musical analysis. Remember the reference to 'exotic birds'? I think he wanted people to like his music. Or at least buy it. But not take it too seriously.
> > > They were very interested in what critics would say at first, seeming to be amused by how futile it would be to apply the mathematical observations of musicology to what they produced. You are referring to the 'Aeolian cadences' remark, which is gibberish to those untrained in the theory, so he was unaware whether it applied to his song thus his ridicule is irrelevant. Their level at "Not A Second Time" was interjecting 'Ave and Hallelu- yeah' into an empty measure, most critics wouldn't notice that. Listening to a song for harmonic progression is different from hearing a guitar solo as an instrumental voice.

Lennon blurted out the 'subliminal' answer when Tom Snyder asked how such innocuous stuff as Beatles music could have so powerful a cultural effect.
> > >

Lennon chided the others for saying good things about their own songs, calling them 'big-headed' about the tunes, prompting Harrison to protest that the interviewer merely asked if they liked their own songs. The results John wanted would not be forthcoming, and he soured on the artifice towards getting to the 'nitty-gritty.'

But with transference the reaction was 'Who Needs HIM When We Have YOU?!' So John lashed out at Paul for 'granny music,' faced with a problem he could not fix. Harrison had said the group was always about various genres, not one type of music - it is the message that mattered, the mode was to create appeal.

That was 9 February 1967, three years after their Ed Sullivan debut (when I first saw them), which was three years after their Cavern Club debut (switched from booking jazz bands). A total solar eclipse darkened Europe within a week of the 9 February 1961 Cavern debut.

John joked they nearly double-tracked themselves off the record, knowing it was for 'spectral' vocal-texture effect.

For John at that point past The Beatles, he had experienced strange phenomena along with the general public, most peculiarly from his point of view. When they returned to Hamburg, east of Liverpool, the Garabandal (south of Liverpool on the Spanish coast) apparitions started on a birthday of McCartney's; there were synchronicities with milestones in their development and key moments in the massive series of apparitions (the girls started walking backwards in unison, fast over rocky hills, on a 5 August pre-anniversary of the REVOLVER release).

Whether it is an article or what, it’s just the best ones that come out, and all these came out, because I had time. If you are on holiday or in therapy, wherever you are, if you do spend time . . . like in India I wrote the last batch of best songs, like “I’m So Tired” and “Yer Blues.” They’re pretty realistic, they were about me. They always struck me as – what is the word? Funny? Ironic? – that I was writing them supposedly in the presence of guru and meditating so many hours a day, writing “I’m So Tired” and songs of such pain as “Yer Blues” which I meant. I was right in the Maharishi’s camp writing “I wanna die . . . ”

Like George Harrison said, The Beatles was like being in a box. The electric guitar flourish Harrison provided at the end of "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" is unique among versions of the tune, conceptually tying together the entire album concept by subliminally invoking the curtain found ripped in the Temple, which had been stitched together much earlier by Christ's Mother, The Virgin Maid.
> > > > > > > > > > > > I do not try to delve too deeply beyond the known history, but we have John disclosing to his wife Cynthia numerous affairs, and the subsequent events culminating in their divorce. Lennon probably wanted Yoko with him on the India trip but that was impossible. The Maharishi called them angels but wanted a tenth of their income in perpetuity.

I would take it back to his relationship with mother Julia, whom he respected as a performer in the style of Kay Starr: she coached the earliest form of the band, when they adapted the banjo chords she knew. While Aunt Mimi would have prevented it, Julia offered her address for the delivery of the guitar he would perform with in the earliest days.

> > > > > > > > > > Julia might have been the one who suggested that music could have a verbal element subliminally. She did not abandon John, but since she never divorced Fred and was living with another man, Mimi attained custody through the authorities. Paul's father gave influence more as standards, which John would ridicule as 'granny music,' even retroactively for "Let It Be," which he obviously respected as 'mournful' in the clip.

He said they were tribal rituals, yet they were trying to create a visual concert product with Get Back that had not naturally existed. They spoke about how the crowd in the "Hey Jude" film was a nice idea, but perhaps some had gotten too close. Musical performers typically like to receive feedback from their audience, which is exhilarating and relational, but in their case the response was so extreme such notions became irrelevant.

> > > > > > > > > Also in "Yer Blues" the 'suicidal' lyrics include a Mother of the Sky and Father of the Earth, producing himself as Child of the Universe, again a Messianic implication. The 'black cloud' and 'blue mist' are in the realm of cosmic role-playing, fueled perhaps by an isolated feeling without Yoko at the ashram. The band reminisced fondly of performing on the roof in India with acoustic instruments, as if it had been the early days in Hamburg or Liverpool.

> > > > > > > > > The music in "Yer Blues" transposes this feeling of isolation and loneliness onto the young Jesus - because He is separated by being capable of subjecting His playmates to mischievous miraculous tricks during their playtime. That song is part of a suite subliminally establishing a particular disrupted game scenario from the Infancy text. The White Album has distinct mono and stereo versions of some songs.

> > > > > > > > > The correct mixes have to be analyzed: the original LP release of "Tomorrow Never Knows" lacks the final phrase in the reversed guitar solo (American mono is ideal); the mono version of Sgt Pepper is necessary for correct transcription (which George Martin said fell together in mixing phase 'like automatic writing'), since the stereo version was rushed together by second-level engineers who proceeded without some edit pieces.

Perhaps an astrologer had generated the charts and mentioned something like the lyrics, when describing the influence of Saturn on his immediate family.

It was the sort of cluelessness that frustrated him, because he could not walk people through his thought processes: to do so would be an admission his entire effort was a failure nobody could get on their own. But he and his group were repackaging the Christian story in an audio format nobody was expecting, or could easily recognize. He realized the job was done well enough to put the responsibility elsewhere.

Sure, "It's Only Love" could be considered a weak effort from his point of view; but we respond to music without analyzing its subconscious import. The musical component of "Every Little Thing" resurfaced in the Get Back sessions, not because its message needed a reprise, but because of its haunting iconic quality. Sometimes the music and lyrics have close meanings, as with "The Inner Light," about the powerful Aura of Christ, with the coda music suggesting this illumination came

Also I feel that John would have been scornful of any serious musical analysis. Remember the reference to 'exotic birds'? I think he wanted people to like his music. Or at least buy it. But not take it too seriously.
> > > > They were very interested in what critics would say at first, seeming to be amused by how futile it would be to apply the mathematical observations of musicology to what they produced. You are referring to the 'Aeolian cadences' remark, which is gibberish to those untrained in the theory, so he was unaware whether it applied to his song thus his ridicule is irrelevant. Their level at "Not A Second Time" was interjecting 'Ave and Hallelu- yeah' into an empty measure, most critics wouldn't notice that. Listening to a song for harmonic progression is different from hearing a guitar solo as an instrumental voice.

Lennon chided the others for saying good things about their own songs, calling them 'big-headed' about the tunes, prompting Harrison to protest that the interviewer merely asked if they liked their own songs. The results John wanted would not be forthcoming, and he soured on the artifice towards getting to the 'nitty-gritty.'

But with transference the reaction was 'Who Needs HIM When We Have YOU?!' So John lashed out at Paul for 'granny music,' faced with a problem he could not fix. Harrison had said the group was always about various genres, not one type of music - it is the message that mattered, the mode was to create appeal.

That was 9 February 1967, three years after their Ed Sullivan debut (when I first saw them), which was three years after their Cavern Club debut (switched from booking jazz bands). A total solar eclipse darkened Europe within a week of the 9 February 1961 Cavern debut.

John joked they nearly double-tracked themselves off the record, knowing it was for 'spectral' vocal-texture effect.

The chords played a significant role in "Things We Said Today": McCartney called it "future nostalgia," looking forward to looking back to now, "which quite a good trick. It has interesting chords. It goes C, F, which is all normal, the normal thing might be going to F minor, but to go to B-flat was quite good. It was a sophisticated little tune." During the analysis I explain it is the third phrase of the verses on the lyric "Someday" where the 'interesting chords' appear, before the fourth phrase returns to more familiar territory.

> John was nicknamed 'The Weird Beatle' by the press, undercutting pretentiousness was his hallmark. When a fellow art student was getting praise for abstract art, John completed a roomful of canvases overnight in a similar style: the instructor, thinking it was the work of his pet pupil, immediately praised the new artwork - until learning the identity of the actual artist. So even if an academic type were correct, Lennon would tend to challenge them. He was obviously overwhelmed by whatever Allen Klein had said about his group.

But I think even people who actively dislike him have a least one song by him they absolutely love. People who otherwise are disinterested in The Beatles have told me their exceptions: the altruistic concept of "All You Need Is Love"; the elegiac tune "In My Life"; the danceable rhythm of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"; the whimsically macabre nature of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," and so on.
