Intuition
John Lennon · Lennon - Signature Box [2010]
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstition
It seemed like suicide
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
It's good to be alive
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It's then I realize it's only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Intuition - John Lennon
Recorded as part of the 2010 Signature Box compilation, 'Intuition' stands as a poignant addition to John Lennon's discography, reflecting his continued exploration of introspective themes in the late stages of his career. The track exemplifies Lennon's signature blend of melodic simplicity and emotional depth, characteristic of his solo work following The Beatles. While often associated with his broader catalog of reflective ballads, this recording captures a specific moment in his artistic evolution, focusing on the power of inner thought and feeling. Released alongside other significant tracks in the compilation, the song maintains the acoustic intimacy and lyrical clarity that defined his solo period, offering listeners a glimpse into his personal musical journey without the noise of the group era.
