Artist/Band: Beatles
Lyrics for Song: Tomorrow Never Knows
Lyrics for Album: Anthology 2



Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning


Tomorrow Never Knows

Released as part of The Beatles' Anthology 2, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' stands as a pivotal example of the group's experimental phase in the 1960s. The track features a distinctive, repetitive guitar loop that drives a psychedelic soundscape, marking a significant departure from their earlier pop structures. This recording reflects the band's deep engagement with Eastern philosophy and the burgeoning psychedelic movement, utilizing extended improvisation and unconventional time signatures to create an immersive auditory experience. While often associated with the song 'Tomorrow Never Knows' by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Beatles' version recontextualized these themes within a rock framework, influencing countless subsequent artists in genres ranging from progressive rock to electronic music. The piece remains a testament to the band's willingness to push technical boundaries and explore new sonic territories during this transformative era.
