It's All Too Much
Beatles · Yellow Submarine (1999 Reissue)
It's all too much
When I look into your eyes
You love is there for me
And the more I go inside
the more there is to see
It's all too much for me to take
the love that's shining all around you
Everywhere it's what you make for us to take
it's all too much
Floating down the stream of time
form life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are
or where you'd like to be
It's all too much for me to take
the love that's shining all around you
All the world is birthday cake
so take a piece but not too much
Sell me on a silver sun
where I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere
and get me home for tea
It's all too much for me to see
the love that's shining all around you
The more I learn, the less I know
and what I do it's all too much
It's all too much for me to take
the love that's shining all around you
Everywhere it's what you make for us to take
it's all too much
It's all too much
It's all too much
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
You're too much
It's All Too Much
Released on the 1999 reissue of Yellow Submarine, "It's All Too Much" stands as a poignant example of The Beatles' late-period songwriting, blending folk-rock sensibilities with the band's signature melodic clarity. The track reflects the group's exploration of personal and professional stress during the late 1960s, capturing a moment of vulnerability that resonates with listeners seeking emotional depth. While often associated with the film soundtrack, the song's enduring appeal lies in its simple yet effective composition, showcasing John Lennon's lyrical prowess and the ensemble's tight harmonies. It remains a staple of their discography, illustrating how their ability to distill complex feelings into accessible music continues to influence artists across genres.
