John Lennon quotes

I love the Beatles. I listen to them often. 2 of John Lennon's quotes stick with me.

[b]Living is easy with Eyes closed (Strawberry Fields)

Life is what happens when you are busy making plans. (Beautiful boy)

So sorry he is gone. He was one of a kind.

Who sang the song "Baby You're A Rich Man"? Was that John Lennon or Paul McCartney? I like the lyric "You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo" (or something like that).

@MaryDreamilton i will have to look that up!

@MaryDreamilton Lennon sang lead vocals on that song..and he played the weird sounding keyboard instrument.

@Entwistle The Beatles did a few weird-sounding songs. "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I Am The Walrus", to name but two.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@MaryDreamilton Yep. Strawberry Fields changes key due to the tape being purposely sped up (or slowed down,I can't recall which)..halfway through.

MaryDreamilton · 46-50, F

@Entwistle It's got a lot of weird psychedelic sounds.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@MaryDreamilton It certainly has. It's a wonderful song.

akindheart · 61-69, F

@MaryDreamilton John wrote it and Paul finished it with a chorus!

@MaryDreamilton So does Strawberry Fields Forever. it has a melatron? never heard of that

MaryDreamilton · 46-50, F

@akindheart Melatron? Don't you mean mellotron? That's a keyboard instrument used to create an orchestral effect, isn't it?

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@MaryDreamilton The instrument John Lennon played on 'Baby You're A Rich Man' is called a Clavioline.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@akindheart You are correct,a Mellotron was used on Strawberry Fields.

akindheart · 61-69, F

@Entwistle i have the Beatles Channel on Sirius XM and they tell the history behind the songs. They went into great detail about Strawberry Fields and Paul using the mellotron. neat right?

akindheart · 61-69, F

@MaryDreamilton yes. you are right. i misspelled it. sorry.
