Yellow submarine
Beatles · Yellow submarine
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
in our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sgt.
Cut the cable, drop the cable
Aye, Sir, aye
Captain, captain)
As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine
Released in 1966, "Yellow Submarine" stands as a defining track in the Beatles' discography, marking a shift toward psychedelic pop and surrealism. The song features the iconic opening vocal line and was originally recorded for the soundtrack of the animated film of the same name. Its distinctive sound, characterized by the use of the theremin and a driving bassline, encapsulates the band's experimental spirit during the mid-1960s. Beyond its role in cinema, the track has become a cultural touchstone, symbolizing the era's fascination with space travel and utopian imagery. The composition remains a staple of rock history, celebrated for its unique blend of whimsy and musical innovation that continues to influence artists across genres.
