I Me Mine Lyrics

I Me Mine Song Chart

George Harrison wrote this song and sang lead. He said it is "About the ego, the eternal problem."

This uses a 3/4 time signature like a waltz, rather than the standard 4/4. With a rather mournful sound, Harrison called it a "heavy waltz."

This song owes its release to the Beatles movie Let It Be. Filmed in 1969 and originally called "Get Back," the plan was to get footage of the group recording the album and use it as a TV special or movie. During sessions at Twickenham Studios in London, Harrison, McCartney and Starr played an early version of this song as John Lennon and his future wife Yoko Ono waltzed to it. The movie was shelved, and Let It Be moved forward as an album, but without "I Me Mine."

Later in 1969, The Beatles manager, Allen Klein, made a deal with United Artists to release the film. With the project revived, a new version of "I Me Mine" was needed for the film and the soundtrack - the footage of John and Yoko dancing together was deemed crucial to the film. On January 3, 1970, the Beatles - minus Lennon - assembled at Abbey Road studios and recorded a polished version of the song with George Martin producing. After further delays, The Beatles broke up and Phil Spector was brought in to produce the album from the tapes.

The Beatles recorded this without John Lennon. The session took place just four days after the band learned that Let It Be was picked up as a movie and this song was needed for the soundtrack. By this time, the group had the #1 album in America with Abbey Road, but were fractured and moving on to solo projects - they wanted to get their remaining obligations settled quickly. With Lennon unavailable, George Harrison played acoustic guitar, Ringo Starr handled drums and Paul McCartney played electric bass and overdubbed organ and electric piano. Harrison also played the electric guitar lead which he overdubbed. What was so unusual about this session was the efficiency. In their later years, The Beatles spent a lot of time working up songs in the studio, but this one was completed in just one day.

The first version The Beatles recorded ran just 1:34, and had only one chorus. The album's producer, Phil Specter, copied and pasted parts of that recording to make the song 2:25.

When the album was re-released in 2003 as Let It Be... Naked, the songs were remixed to eliminate most of Phil Spector's lush production. His edit to make this longer was one of the few things he did that was left alone.

Harrison's 1980 autobiography is titled "I Me Mine." The book was reissued in 2002.

Post to Be Song Chart

The second single off Sex Playlist, Omarion's debut release on Rick Ross' Maybach Music label, this features a clap-heavy West Coast production by DJ Mustard. Omarion kicks the song off with warnings that he is likely to steal your girl. He then passes the baton to a similarly brash Chris Brown, who raps and sings the second verse. Jhené Aiko slows things down at the end crooning the closing rhymes.

Aiko's lyric, "I might let your boy chauffeur me. But he got to eat the booty like groceries," was inspired by rapper Kevin Gates. She said: "When I heard the song was titled "Post to Be' it reminded me of the Kevin Gates video where he says 'I'm pose to eat the booty.'"

Aiko elaborated on her lyric to MTV News: "I wrote my verse with Micah Powell, someone that I've written with before and I just told him, 'Whatever we say I want to make sure we say something about eat the booty,'" she explained, with a bit of a chuckle.
"It was a fun song. I wanted my part to be funny and unexpected and ironically 'groceries' rhymes with 'post to be' and so it works."

Omarion decided to make this a collaboration track because he wanted to show R&B camaraderie. "I have a long history with Jhene and Chris, and the organic connection, the friendship, that we have with each other ended up on the track," he explained to Billboard magazine. "I want people know that this is a real effort into showing what futurists are all about, and that is breaking the sound barrier and creating something that hasn't been created before. When's the last time you heard three singers on one track that still felt like a party? That's what 'Post to Be' is, and it's been received so well."

Dig a Pony Song Chart

The Beatles recorded this on the Apple Records rooftop on the afternoon of January 30, 1969. It appears in rooftop sequence of the movie Let It Be. It was their first live performance since they stopped touring in 1965.

There is a false start in this song that was caused by Ringo, as you can see Lennon looking back at him to make sure he's ready before they start again. What caused the hiccup is unclear: if you watch the clip, just as they are getting ready to count into the song, you see Ringo blowing smoke out of his mouth. There is a hesitation and you see him bending over, but it looks like he's already put his cigarette down prior to that.

In the 1988 film Imagine: John Lennon , home video footage reveals Lennon being asked about several lines from this song by a young man who was found hiding on the property surrounding Tittenhurst, Lennon's home in Ascot, England. Lennon assures him that the song refers to no specific person and that the lyrics are "nonsense," a lyrical technique he also attributes to unspecified Bob Dylan songs. John stated in 1969 about this song, "I just make it up as I go along." (thanks, Nick - La Crosse, WI)

The working title of this song was "Con A Lowry." Lennon changed it because, "'I con a Lowry' didn't sing well... it's got to be d's and p's you know."

Lennon wrote this as 2 songs: "All I Want Is You" and "Dig a Pony." In the original pressings of the Let It Be LP, it's listed as "All I Want Is You."

Producer Phil Spector cut out 2 lines for the album version. The unedited version is in the movie.

This song was listed as "I Dig A Pony" on the album (though that error was corrected for the CD). Some people thought that the line "Hi, hi hi, hi hiyeeee.... dig a pony" was "I, I, I, I Iyeeeeeeeee.... dig a pony." You can still find tabs online for "I Dig A Pony." (thanks, Loretta - Liverpool, England)

The line "I do a road hot" was originally "I dig a skylight" and then "I did a groundhog."

Can't Wait Another Day Song Chart

String Cheese Incident keyboardist player Kyle Hollingsworth wrote this song. It's about the birth of his daughter, Isabel. The song describes the trepidation and excitement that comes with waiting for the delivery. In our interview with Hollingsworth , he explained: "All the lines are very real. A lot of my songs, at least in the past, are not preachy, but they definitely have a stance. Like, 'You need to change' or 'wake up' or something. And this one I was like, 'I don't want to be the preacher person. I want to say this is what's happened in my life.' So I wrote lyrics: 'Every day I pace the hall waiting for your call.'"

This song started with a bass line that came into Hollingsworth's head when he was out for a hike. He wrote it out when he got home, then brought it into the band, where they worked out the song in a jam. When they started working on the chorus, Hollingsworth decided to keep it simple, arranging some basic sounds and words until they made some sense:

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Round and round we go
Oh, oh, oh
Can't wait another day

Once they had the chorus, Hollingsworth worked backwards to write the verses.

Hollingsworth takes pride in getting an unusual word in this song, which isn't all that easy to rhyme: "discombobulated":

You got me discombobulated
It doesn't have to be this complicated

Don't Let Me Down Song Chart

John Lennon dedicated this song to Yoko One. It was the first song he wrote for Yoko, who he married on March 20, 1969.

Released as the B-side of "Get Back," this song was recorded the same day. It was going to be on the Let It Be album, but when the tapes from the sessions were turned over to Phil Spector to produce, he took it out.

This was one of the songs The Beatles played at their impromptu rooftop concert in 1969. The concept of the album was The Beatles performing new songs for a live audience, with film footage of their rehearsals used to make a documentary TV special. George Harrison didn't like the idea, and when things got tense during recording, he left the sessions and returned only after they agreed to cancel the live performance. The Beatles were still under contract to make another movie, so they decided to use the rehearsal footage as their last movie, Let It Be. In order to end the movie, they needed a big scene, so they went to the roof of Apple Records and started playing. John Lennon forgot some of the words to this song while the Beatles were playing their rooftop concert. (thanks, Jonathon - Clermont, FL)

Billy Preston, who The Beatles met when he was on tour with Little Richard in 1962, played keyboards on this track. Preston was one of the few outside musicians (excluding members of orchestras) to play on any Beatles song. George Harrison brought him in to smooth tensions in the studio. He did the same thing during The White Album sessions, when he brought in Eric Clapton. The presence of a musician The Beatles respected had a way of making them put aside their differences.

When Apple Records remixed the album Let It Be and released it in 2003 as Let It Be... Naked, this was included. An alternate take was used. It was the only song on the new album that did not appear on the original.

Lennon asked Ringo to crash his cymbals loudly to "give me the courage to come in screaming."

Billy Corgan's band Zwan covered this. They rearranged the entire song so only the melody was the same. They added a guitar solo at the end. Others artists to cover the song include Randy Crawford, Crown of Thorns, Dylan & Clark, Garbage, Gene, Marcia Griffiths, Taylor Hicks, Julian Lennon , Annie Lennox, Maroon 5, Matchbox Twenty, The Persuasions, Phoebe Snow, Stereophonics and Paul Weller. (thanks, SJ - skalj, Denmark)

Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson is from Edinburgh, and in 1999 they played this song at the opening of the newly-elected Scottish Parliament, which was celebrating autonomy after 300 years of British rule. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Lost Lyrics

She was a smart girl
But she didn't think
The well was full
Still there's nothing to drink

Got some money
Still don't make no sense
How a girl like this can live
Her life without no common sense

She's Lost, la, la, la, lost
Got a friend
That works too much
Trying hard to find the end to the means
Came from nothing
Has got nothing to lose
Except he's losing sight of what is true in all this busy life
For Lost, la, la, la, lost
Lost, la, la, la, lost

Maybe it's me but I can't see
Why sometimes we choose to be blind
Looking away going day by day
And stumblin' around in the dark
Spend our lives
Wasting time
Keepin' busy towards that life
So afraid
Slowing down
Stop and take a look around and see what can be found
Lost, la, la, la, lost
Lost, la, la, la, la, lost

Lost Song Chart

Written by String Cheese keyboard player Kyle Hollingsworth, this song has a New Orleans funk feel. Hollingsworth says the groove was inspired by the 1974 Little Feat song "Skin It Back."

This song describes people who work hard trying to reach their goals, but find themselves unfulfilled. In our interview with Kyle Hollingsworth , he said: "I was trying to have a moral to the story, so it was speaking more so about being focused on what's real and less about commercial interests. I was being more introspective and less concerned about outward appearance - less concerned about commercialism and being more true to yourself."

Revolution 9 Lyrics

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine...

Revolution 9 Song Chart

John Lennon wrote this with contributions from Yoko Ono. It's a highly experimental piece, which Lennon once called "The music of the future." It is the most controversial and bizarre track on the album - you have to have a very open mind to appreciate it.

This was made by layering tape loops over the basic rhythm of "Revolution." Lennon was trying to create an atmosphere of a revolution in progress. The tape loops came from EMI archives, and the "Number 9" voice heard over and over is an engineer testing equipment.

Lennon told Rolling Stone that this was, "an unconscious picture of what I actually think will happen when it happens; that was just like a drawing of revolution." He added: "All the thing was made with loops, I had about thirty loops going, fed them onto one basic track. I was getting classical tapes, going upstairs and chopping them up, making it backwards and things like that, to get the sound effects. One thing was an engineer's testing tape and it would come on with a voice saying 'This is EMI Test Series #9.' I just cut up whatever he said and I'd number nine it. Nine turned out to be my birthday and my lucky number and everything. I didn't realize it; it was just so funny the voice saying 'Number nine'; it was like a joke, bringing number nine into it all the time, that's all it was."

Paul McCartney and Beatles producer George Martin hated this and tried to keep it off the album.

This is the longest Beatles song - it runs 8:15. It also took longer to complete than any other track on album.

This helped fuel the "Paul is dead" rumors. If played backwards, you were supposed to hear the car crash where Paul died, and a voice saying "Turn me on, dead man." Also, playing the line, "I'm not in the mood for wearing clothing" in reverse eventually becomes a rather odd but clear reversal, "There were two, there are none now." This is referencing the rumor that Paul McCartney died in a car with "Lovely Rita" and that the 2 were burned away after the wreck.

The rumor took off in October, 1969 when a listener called the radio station WKNR in Detroit and told the DJ Russ Gibb about the backward message. When Gibb played it backwards on his show, listeners went wild and spent the next week calling in and offering their own rumors. The story quickly spread, and McCartney helped it along by laying low and letting it play out.

Lennon felt the number 9 was quite significant. He was happy that, after he changed his name to John Ono Lennon, his and Yoko's names collectively contained 9 O's. (thanks, Nicole - Lake Forest, CA)

According to the book The Beatles, Lennon And Me, by John Lennon's childhood friend Pete Shotton, One evening, Lennon was with Shotton in the attic of his Kenwood home, tripping on LSD and smoking a few joints. They messed about with John's Brunnel recorders, fiddling with feedback, running recordings backwards and creating tape loops. Opening the windows for some fresh air, John and Pete began to shout whatever was on their minds at the trees outside, the recorder running. This night's lark was to later captured on "Revolution 9." (thanks, Margaret - Cullman, AL)

Marilyn Manson released their own version of this on the B-side of the single for "Get Your Gunn." It was called "Revelation 9" and ran 12:57. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)

This was parodied on an episode of The Simpsons. When the guys for a group called The B-Sharps, Barney meets a girl during recording. He exclaims at the studio that he's making the music of all time. The song is Barney's girl friend (with striking resemblance to Yoko Ono) saying "Number 8" and Barney burping. (thanks, yo - sudbury, Ontario, Canada)

Charles Manson thought that when they screamed the words "Right!" it was actually "Rise!" meaning the black community rising over the white people. Charles Manson was of course crazy, and thought The Beatles were warning about a race war. (thanks, Mischa - Winnipeg, Australia)

This was inspired by Eric Clapton's love of chocolate. He and George Harrison were good friends.

George Harrison got the lyrics for this from the inside lid of a box of chocolates. Montelimart, Ginger Sling, Cream Tangerine, and Coffee Dessert were names of candies in the Mackintosh "Good News" assortment.

Beatles' publicist Derek Taylor wrote some of the words.

Harrison had the sax distorted to create a distinctive sound.

According to Mojo magazine, the line "You know that what you eat you are" was suggested to Harrison by the Beatles' press officer Derek Taylor.

Kyle Hollingsworth, the keyboard player in String Cheese Incident, wrote this song about the death of his father, describing the images and events around the time of his passing. Hollingsworth barely knew his dad, which made his death and funeral a bit surreal. "It's a very introspective song," he told us . "In the end, as hard as the concept is for me, I'm part of my dad, even though I didn't really know him. He wasn't part of my life."

Hollingsworth wrote this with Randi Michael, a Nashville-based songwriter and vocal coach who gave him ideas on how to structure the song and make it more coherent.

Salvation is deliverance from sin, a concept that shows up in many blues and gospel tracks. In our interview with Devon Allman , he explained: "I think that there's a point in time where you really have to let life happen and chill out and trust that there is a higher power that is out there kind of helping this whole thing roll along. And that's really what that's about. It's about, 'Hey, chill out, take your hands off the wheel and trust the universe.'"

Allman recorded this song with his band Honeytribe and released it on their second album, Space Age Blues.
