Across The Universe (Remastered 2009)

+

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 are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva, om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox they They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva, om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing Through my open ears inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe

and to answer your questions:

☆ (2) What is your favourite photo of the four boys?

→ I think it's this one! They all look so equally happy and handsome in this!! ♡

(they was no reason for that twink to laugh so loud. that mf)

☆ (7) Which moment never fails to make you laugh?

→ When they sing 'Shout' at a TV programme! idk why it's really fun to watch

☆ (15) What is your favourite scene/moment from A Hard Day’s Night?

→ the part where George sings 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You'. And when John's trying to make Ringo cheer up, by singing 'If I fell' (but was secretly singing it to pol).

☆ (24) What is your favourite lyric from a Beatles song?

→ it's definitely the entire song 'Across the Universe', but this ALWAYS gives me goosebumps:

"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 are drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me."

There is something in the way John sings it is just so ethereal. An absolute genius, and i miss him so much ♡

URL PLAYLIST CHALLENGE.

making a playlist out of the letters of my url!

P. - pluto (sleeping at last).

still i'm pinned under the weight / of what i believe will keep me safe (...) the heaviness that i hold in my heart's been crushing me / i've been worried all my life / a nervous wreck most of the time

U. - underground (cody fry).

then a light broke through the black / i was standing on a track / that little light began to grow / there was no where i could go

B. - blue lips (regina spektor).

the pictures in his mind awoke / & began to breathe / & no one saw & no one heard / they just followed the lead

L. - loveology (regina spektor).

loveology, loveology, / i'm sorry-ology / forgive me-ology / loveology / let's study, class / sit down

I. - i will follow you into the dark (death cab for cutie).

if heaven & hell decide / that they both are satisfied / & illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs / if there's no one beside you / when your soul embarks / then i'll follow you into the dark

C. - cardigan (taylor swift).

'cause i knew you / steppin' on the last train / marked me like a bloodstain, i / (...) i knew you / leavin' like a father / runnin' like water

A. - across the universe (fiona apple).

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 are drifting through my open mind

B. - bubble gum (clairo).

sorry i didn't kiss you / but it's obvious i wanted to / bubble gum down my throat & it's a curse / but my luck couldn't get any worse

S. - skinny love (bon iver).

who will love you? / who will fight? / & who will fall / far behind?

E. - exploration (bruno coulais).

N. - the night we met (lord huron).

i had all & then most of you / some & now none of you / take me back to the night we met / i don't know what i'm supposed to do / haunted by the ghost of you / take me back to the night we met

T. - this is me trying (taylor swift).

i didn't know if you cared if i came back / i have a lot of regrets about that / pulled the car off the road to the lookout / could've followed my fears all the way down / & maybe i don't quite know what to say / but i'm here in your doorway / i just wanted you to know that this is me trying

John Lennon: "I was lying next to my first wife in bed, you know, and I was irritated. She must have been going on and on about something and she'd gone to sleep and I'd kept hearing these words over and over, flowing like an endless stream. I went downstairs and it turned into sort of a cosmic song rather than an irritated song; rather than a 'Why are you always mouthing off at me?' or whatever, right? ... But the words stand, luckily, by themselves. They were purely inspirational and were given to me as boom! I don't own it, you know; it came through like that. I don't know where it came from, what meter it's in, and I've sat down and looked at it and said, 'Can I write another one with this meter?' It's so interesting. 'Words are flying [sic] out like [sings] endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.' Such an extraordinary meter and I can never repeat it! It's not a matter of craftsmanship; it wrote itself. It drove me out of bed. I didn't want to write it, I was just slightly irritable and I went downstairs and I couldn't get to sleep until I put it on paper, and then I went to sleep. It's like being possessed; like a psychic or a medium. The thing has to go down. It won't let you sleep, so you have to get up, make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep. That's always in the middle of the bloody night, when you're half awake or tired and your critical facilities are switched off." "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 Are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me Jai Guru Deva, Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Images of broken light Which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a Restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Jai Guru Deva, Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Sounds of laughter, shades of life Are ringing through my opened ears Inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love Which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe Jai Guru Deva, Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva"

The Beatles, "Across the Universe"

[sodorsteam]

“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 are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me..” When you take the lyrics out of context…it’s a little….sinister…

Ofc my first shuffle was a song with no lyrics 😂

But here’s what I suppose is my fave lyric from Across the Universe:

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are

drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om

[beatlesdumpsterfire]

Some personal favorite John Lennon lyrics

“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see”

“Why in the world are we here? Surely not to love in pain and fear”

“I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together”

“I don’t want to kiss or hold your hand, if it’s funny try and understand, there is really nothing else I’d rather do, ‘cause I’m happy just to dance with you”

“My tears are falling like rain from the sky, is it for her or myself that I cry?”

“Doesn’t have a point of view, knows not where he’s going to, isnt he a bit like you and me?”

“Listen to the color of your dreams”

“Keeping an eye on the world going by my window, taking my time”

“Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you”

“Got to be good looking ‘cause he’s so hard to see”

“Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, possessing and caressing me”

“Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines, it’s just a state of mind?”

And, of course, my favorite:

“​Quando para mucho mi amore de felice corazón, mundo paparazzi mi amore chicka ferdy parasol, cuesto obrigado tanta mucho que canite carousel”
