Because Lyrics
To me, this is John's masterpiece in the beatles, a contribution he made that I think made their music very mature, because this does not compare with their other stuff, well... some things.. but this song is a complete chill down the spine and was executed perfectly, if u are ever scared, do NOT listen to this song.
I love this song because it plays on so many words. The world is round, and it turns, but it also turns him on because of how wonderful it is. The wind blows his mind. The wind blows, but it also makes him see the wonders of nature. The sky is blue in color, but also sad, and it makes him cry. Love is so many things. It can be old, it can be new; it can be everywhere, and it can be just that one person...I think these lyrics are beautuful.
I believe this song is about non-other than Drugs. It took me a while to come to this conclusion, but after giving it some thought I am quite sure this is possible meaning.
Verse1: "Because the world is round, it turns me on” This Can be both interpreted as a an aw towards nature, but also the "world" being a drug capsule, that is round and activates your high. (Admittedly this is the weakest verse in this interpretation)
Verse2: "Because the wind is high, it blows my mind” Here we see not only John’s mind high by implication, but also the wordplay on wind blows and blows my mind as an alure to being on drugs.
Verse3: “Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry” On its face this verse can be understood as a psychedelic feeling of conscious separation. I used to think the sky was just another thing that is high meant to convey the high of being under the influence, but after further reflection the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” has the sky fits into the exact same analogy.
In addition, the entire song has a dreamy feel and is easily imagined through the eyes of the drug user.
It's been said that the melody for this song came when John Lennon asked Yoko to play Beethovan's Moonlight Sonata backwards.
i had the song on on shuffle. i decided to come check out the lyrics and then read the comments and guess what the next song played is...Moonlight...i'm kind of freaked out now lol very random

i think this song is beautiful and calming. the whole cd abbey road is amazing. when you listen to all of the songs in order with the way they go together at once it is a great experience. i love to download music, but i'm glad i purchased that cd long before the downloading option. i would recommend buying the actual cd to anyone who even liked one song on the album.
there are also things called records. probably the beatles knew when they were making abbey road that the compact disc would be the best listening option, but the record would do until the invention of CDs.

Lennon wrote the sweet, dreamy melody after hearing Yoko Ono playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on the couple's piano; he asked if she could play the chords backward, and he based the song on those changes. McCartney assumed that Ono also had a hand in crafting the song's lyrics. "It's rather her kind of writing," McCartney said. "Wind, sky and earth are recurring. . . . John was heavily influenced by her at the time."
George Martin arranged a nine-part harmony for the song, but there were only five tracks on which to record the vocals. So Lennon, McCartney and Harrison sang the three-part harmony live, then overdubbed it twice. This approach took extensive rehearsal, and more than five hours of extremely focused recording, to capture correctly. But the resulting song was stunning: a gorgeous, richly layered daydream that McCartney and Harrison both said was their favorite track on Abbey Road. "They knew they were doing something special," said engineer Geoff Emerick, "and they were determined to get it right."
I have heard that too. The chords are simple archipedgios (I don't know how it is spelled). When I was younger I could play it on guitar. It was fun to play. I enjoyed this song a lot. Abbey Road is my favorite album for a lot of reasons.

I hadn't heard this song in ages, but just the other night while I was doing laundry... "love is old love is new, love is... ? love is you" came to mind. I knew it was part of a Beatles song lyric. I Googled the rest of the lyrics and got emotional. For me, it was a message of hope.
Love never dies, or goes away. It's within us and outside of us... and we don't need a reason to love.
My dad listened to the Beatles when I was a kid. He played "Abby Road" and the "White" album quite a bit. Good times..
it sure turns me on.
Two unusual instruments on this one - a Baldwin Electric Combo Harpsichord (played by producer George Martin) and a Moog synthesiser (played by Paul).
That is true, Ferthuko, but apparently, the opening chords sound much more like the tune itself being played forward. I haven't, as yet, picked up a copy of Moonlight Sonata.
