Tomorrow Never Knows
The Beatles · Revolver (Remastered) [2009]
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
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 on The Beatles' 1966 album Revolver, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' stands as a radical departure from the band's earlier pop sensibilities. Featuring a groundbreaking use of tape loops and a repetitive, hypnotic rhythm, the track was engineered to create an immersive, psychedelic soundscape that mirrored the psychedelic culture of the era. Led by John Lennon's lyrics and Paul McCartney's distinctive vocal harmonies, the song pushed the boundaries of studio technology and musical composition. Its experimental nature marked a pivotal moment in rock history, influencing countless artists who followed by demonstrating the creative potential of the recording studio as an instrument in itself.
