The Yellow Submarine Songtrack mix of this song is a revelation, IMO the definitive version of this great, great song. John and George we will miss you. I completely agree on this.
YSS is where first truly good stereo mixes were done for several tracks, and it goes to show that a complete remixed catalog is a must. One of those unique, magic little things the Beatles threw into many of their songs. I also love it — get shivers down my spine sometimes when I hear it.
If you listen to the isolated guitar track on The Beatles Rock Band you will notice that George plays an acoustic guitar as well as John. This song always moves me. Then, that high harmony from Paul at the very end… yep. Wonderful bass from Paul, too — and one you can can only properly properly appreciate with headphones. I have forever loved this song. My son is 16 and a big Beatles fan, which makes me proud. The lyrics as the title suggest are not totally about love.
I think ever person her missed the fact that the rhythm guitar by John is the best part of the song. He can sleep almost indefinitely, is probably the laziest person in England. I can get up and start doing nothing straight away. I was just sitting, trying to think of a song, and I thought of myself sitting there, doing nothing and going nowhere. It all came out. Nothing would come. I was cheesed off and went for a lie down, having given up. When I came out to write with him the next day, he was kipping on the couch, very bleary-eyed.
It was really an anti-John song. I think it was actually about the state of his marriage. It was in a period where he was a bit dissatisfied with what was going on; however, it led to a very good song. Join the Fab Forum discussion on Nowhere Man ». Latest Comments.

I think they were quietly proud of all those things. The original stereo mix [b] has all sound either far left or far right.

He's a real Nowhere Man Sitting in his Nowhere Land Making all his nowhere plans for nobody Doesn't have a point of view Knows not where he's going to Isn't he a bit like you and me?

They are basically letting go of the "silly love songs" that confined them. Here is where The Beatles go from being pop-friendly young kids ala "A Hard Day's Night" to the four greatest revolutionary artists of the 20th century.
Music changes after this song. After the break-up in , there are movements in rock and roll that involve desperately trying to imitate this band's sound and desperately trying to repudiate them punk rock, etc.
The Beatles basically drop an atomic bomb on music with the release of Rubber Soul. The song is about Lyndon Johnson, who was President when this song came out.
This is an anti-war song. Johnson is not so cryptically referred to the line, "The world is at your command. He just listens to advisors and is a puppet for the military Industrial complex. Thanks for all of the information!
Great songs indeed. No, the song is about you - it's about ignorance acphenom on April 19, It was the first song they did that wasn't about love or romance and marked the beginning of more philosophical and spiritual, as well as protest songs that came later. Your OPINION And that's all it is, as shitty as it is, you're entitled to it is not a fact, and trying to tout it as such makes you look like a braying jackass who likes to hear themselves talk.
