I'm glad someone else finally realized how far ahead of its time this was. It pushes the eight-track (?) technology as far as it would go. The only thing I don't like about it is the last minute or so. I would have ended it at 6:56.
it is actually a style of music... not just sounds. i forgot what the term for it is, i learned it about 2 years ago, but yes... it is pretty much just random sounds. still, it's a type of music.
for "the ones" who get it! it's one of his greatest masterpiece... for the ones who can't understand the unconventional work-of-art! it's purely a waste! that's the answer to your question :) now can i get the 64k?
pretty scary backwards, anyway...is this supposed to be a song lol? or is it just creepy stuff? this is whatcha get when you put lennon and drugs in the same room.
yah like when i first heard the song backwards lol i ran out of my room turn all the lights on in my house cause i was alone and i hid in a corner somewhere with a broom as a weapon cause i felt like i was being watched lol it scared me so much and yah this just happen this thursday
I find it sounds the same foreward and backwards. John Lennon must have been extreamly high to create something like this cuz the true story is that he was his attic at his house with a friend messing around with a tape recorder while smoking joints and came up with this song. Paul hated this song so much though. The Beatles did a amazing job with the hoax by putting in the clues to make the public beleve Paul McCartney really was dead. I LOVE THIS SONG TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that the point of this song was to portrayed an actual revolution. And in some way it is, its all full of chaos and people shouting and doing the craziest and strangest stuff you could imagine, I really appreciate this "song", but I don't really like it...
This is an artistic masterpiece of both sight and sound. I can not define in words how this video measures in aromaticness, I would say very close to the song itself.
i've herd ppl say that this is scary as hell if you play it backwards... AND IT'S NOT NOW ??? this is more creapy than all the backmasking shit on youtube put together, seriously, scary as hell! backmasking is fake shit, this is scary, really.
This is a fucking scary song. But John Lennon and Paul McCartney are awesome. This is a whole bunch of guitar riffs and random bass playing garbled up with a whole bunch of reverb and echo.
Very David Firth- if you play this song backwards there is another old song playing... and some screaming and sirens and car crashes and paul yelling "GET ME OUT!!!" Its trippy.
Had never heard of David firth but just spent the last 2 hours looking at his stuff. It's incredible. Thank you for turning me on to him and for the comparison.
I love how the Beatles experimented with sound and they are standard bearers in every sense of the word. That being said, this is NOT one of those great accomplishments. I hear this and I think the same thing as when I try to sit through an episode of Family Guy. What's the point? I do thank you for posting it though being that it's a part of their legacy.
The point is that there's a way to say something without spelling it out. It's a way to voice emotion and indescribable thoughts or feelings. I like avant-garde for its ability to take people out of their comfort zone. Instead of giving them what they expect or what they're used to, they are treated to a dream-like unreality that is often more real or, at least, more honest.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and I am glad you like some aspect of it. I'm aware that most people disregard what appears to be weird for weird's sake, but I do assure you there is a point.

The point is that there's a way to say something without spelling it out. It's a way to voice emotion and indescribable thoughts or feelings. I like avant-garde for its ability to take people out of their comfort zone. Instead of giving them what they expect or what they're used to, they are treated to a dream-like unreality that is often more real or, at least, more honest.
