Beautiful piece of music, so lyrical, evocative and innovative. One of Lennon’s best, I’d say.
yeah that was a good one. i’ve heard it so many times, i can still hear the whole thing in my head.
no idea about the wierd back story though. i just saw kids in my old neighborhood going around knocking on doors and asking friends out to play. great song. very atmospheric as they say. so is julia.
Look around………
I like the Jerry Garcia’s Band rendition of this song.
Mike Love claims that “Back in the USSR” was also written at that Maharishi pow-wow, with him making lyrical suggestions to McCartney.
The song is beautiful...memorable and one of their best.
As a group, they were amazing. Every evolution was unique and artistically stunning.
And here we are, nearly 60 years from them, still amazed by their songs.
Wonder if she was messed up on LSD and wouldn’t come out and play?
Dear Prudence always seemed a bit lengthy for me. Yer Blues, Glass Onion, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Savoy Truffle and Long, Long, Long are my top 5 from the “White Album”. I don’t care what the story is behind them, I just like the way they sound.
I think My Friends by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Needle and the Damage Done by Neil Young are very similar to the Dear Prudence song. Same chord structure and picking style.
“If she’d been in the West they would have put her away.”
Not in today’s world.
They sat around and wrote hit songs, limitless talent.
