Across the Universe

by The Beatles
on 1967-1970

Lyrics

Words are flowing out like
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy

Yes, no one will ever replace The Beatles. They will forever be No. 1

I love this song.
any of the songs on Let It Be Naked are superior to the ones released on Let It Be
My favorite Beatle's song :)
Liked this one until I heard the Naked version

Beetles will rule for the next 50 years.

"Across the Universe"
i dunno if any fans of the Pillows will read this but their song across the metropolis was very much inspired by this song.
not much needs to be said...no one will ever replace these four. no one. ever
Love me some Beatles! ❌⭕❌⭕
Agreed
So beautiful. No words for how perfect this is.
So peaceful jonh
Such memories .......... Heavy Sigh........ . . . . . . . . . . .

This song is one of Lennon's great works of rock poetry. The stripped-dow n version on NAKED is no less beautiful and compelling. Phil Spector slowed down the accoustic take and added strings and choral voices for the LET IT BE version.
peace...

mind blowing

Inciting and inviting me. This line is in Pink Floyd's Echos as well
a flight in memory
Jai Guru Deva Om when played backwards on the original recording, sounds like "Change is everything."
this is pretty good song

The Spector-prod u c e d version is lovely, but I like the unadorned version found on Let Be Naked. That performance is a revelation.
soothing...l o v e it

Although this version will always be the best, I like Rufus Wainwright's cover too.
george and john RIP!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Awesome song and vibe!
I saw ELO cover this song in concert, shortly after John had died. It was actually very nice.
Fiona's version is ka ka.
wow today is the first time I read the lyrics. wow! Some things never stop getting better.
kfedninjapen g u i n
one of the best songs ever
!!WOW!! Have you ever read the lyrics?

Fiona Apple's version is even better. Never thought I would say a cover is better than an original Beatles song, but it is.
love it!
love love love
resedajohn
Lennon at his most inspired!!
I agree Steve, one of my favorites too...simply beautiful
danny thats his mantra
selenaf
Such amazing lyrics. I read somewhere that John was really proud of this song; that it was one of his favorite compositions .
One of my favorite Beatles songs.
Don't know what that middle part is. The thing that's said before nothing's gonna change my world. Great song, though.
ahbmorales
Oh Yes!! You gotta love The Beatles!! YESYESYES!
way ahead of their time dont you think ...
eric.ucsf
My favorite Beatles song, and my favorite Lennon song.

I remember when I was little my dad would put this song on - this whole album - and he would look at me and say "Now this is music."

I'll never forget those moments.
