Across The Universe
The Beatles · Let It Be (Remastered) [2009]
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
And 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
Across The Universe
Released on the Let It Be album, "Across The Universe" stands as a pivotal track in The Beatles' late-period catalog. Written by George Harrison, the song blends psychedelic rock with classical influences, featuring a distinctive organ solo that became a signature element of their final recordings. Its lyrical themes of universal connection and spiritual unity reflect the group's evolving artistic direction during 1970. The track's enduring legacy is cemented by its inclusion in the film "Across The Universe," which brought the song to a new generation while highlighting its melodic sophistication. As a staple of the band's discography, it remains a defining example of their ability to integrate diverse musical textures into cohesive pop compositions.
