Yeah but he made an album of him and his wife screaming for 40 minutes so he's a TRUE ARTIST.

bro they made a song where the only lyrics are “I want you (I want you so bad.). She’s so heavy!” And we all love that shit. Obviously the Beatles were deeper than their lyrics on paper lmao.

I mean I Am the Walrus honestly IS genius though



Lennon wrote it to confuse people who were looking too deeply into his lyrics by combining the idea for 3 different songs he wrote into one, drowning it in psych effects, and tacking on a sample of a radio play (a VERY early use of sampling in pop)



Not to forget George Martin's great use of cello throughout the song



It's the perfect absurdist kryptonite for a snobby music critic like rowan I guess ;)

John Lennon didn’t do the production so I guess it doesn’t matter. George Martin gets no love!!!

I mean yeah, Martin's orchestral decisions in I Am the Walrus (especially the cello) are some of his best

Absurdism/word salad lyrics are super under-appreciated and build a great atmosphere



in opposition to a sea of over serious drudgery

Yellow Submarine is far from my favorite on Revolver, but anyone who absolutely hates it is just a grumpy old fart living in a 20-something's body

“Sitting in an English Garden, waiting for the sun...” singled out literally the only part of lennons entire vocal melody i kinda like



musical backdrop of the song is fine and the strings are my favorite part of the song so ill give you that but theyre def not enough to make up for the stuff i dont like about the song
