When I was 12, I asked my uncle what "Looking Through A Glass Onion" meant. He told me it meant "Her pussy stinks"....Over 30 years later, I am still trying to figure out what he meant, but for some reason, I never doubted it..LOL!!!
See everyone thinks the line "The Walrus was Paul" refers to the cover of the Magical Mystery Tour album where they all wore animal costumes. Nope. In that picture John's wearing the Walrus costume. "The walrus was Paul" refers to a remark a MI5 officer made when he saw the badly mutilated remains of the real Paul, killed in his car wreck. (Supposedly)
The Beatles themselves were like other men, but the music and lyrics channeled through them contained magic and messages from beyond the mind. Their music channels the truth and the life. Google "Truth Contest" and open the entry called "The Present" and see for yourself!
Thanks for the upload. It's a highly underrated song.
With Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 Years of History in 3 Minutes", which is a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance, historical events over the last 40 years and 8mm film antics from the period, all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!
@Luxmaxnike if u can't tell johns voice when u hear it U don't deserve to comment about it or listen to them cuz u obviously haven't been paying attention thus far.
To the people who think paul is dead. Your telling me that paul died, and in less then 6 months they found someone with; his bass skills, his singing ability, i guess someone could of wrote for him, and look exactly like him? you know they cant even do that when they make beatles movies...
@ShanePattersonStudio by the stories they make up they held a lookalike contest the winner had surgery to look like him and speech theropy to sound like him but you know when they stopped doing tours its becuse he was right handed.But john felt guilty so he put clues in album covers and song lyrics.The walrus was paul is becuse when he died he had teeth sticking out of his teeth.A.K.A i am the walrus and the walrus was paul.By the way John was in the walrus costume.Watch the movie...
Unfortunately the documentary and others clues in other songs I heard before... Leads me to conclude for MYSELF that he did die and a replacement was found.
oh yeah ........... why are all beatles sons the best. the beatles contributed most to music industry today ever wonder why some kids love beatles? ask yourself why did you love them too?
if you all really wanna know why did they break up. if paul really is dead what is the real intention for revolution 9. and backtracking ideas. ask paul and ringo.........those who dislike the beatles deserves to die
@LegalHeroin yeah they dont deserve to die that would be disrespectful to george aznd john...what well do with those who dislike the beatles...we will take them and strand them in the middle of strawberry fields with nothing but a glass onion.
I was told that a glass onion is a small pile of coccaine on a mirror. Not sure if thats true or even if thats what the john was refferring to. Anyone wanna weigh in on this?
@joejitsu420 Glass Onion was John's idea for a name for the newly signed Apple Records band, The Iveys (later Badfinger) He liked the phrase because it meant something was transparent, yet had many levels to it
@pianissimo5 My guess is it's his Rickenbacker 4001S. It's got that bite that Ricks are famous for and he tended to use that one more towards the end of their career.
Lennon explained to Rolling Stone in a 1971 interview why he said "The Walrus is Paul." Said Lennon: I was still in my love cloud with Yoko and I thought, well, I'll just say something nice to Paul: 'It's all right, you did a good job over these few years, holding us together.' He was trying to organize the group, and organize the music, and be an individual and all that, so I wanted to thank him. I said 'the Walrus is Paul' for that reason. "You know that we're as close as can be, man"
The Beatles themselves were like other men, but the music and lyrics channeled through them contained magic and hidden messages. To learn how to perceive these hidden meanings, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read through the section about The Beatles.
I am sick and tired of the whole "Paul is Dead" urban legend. The Beatles lyrics(especially in their last few years) were POINTLESS and MEANINGLESS nonsense. It is VERY easy to "make something" out of their lyrics when it is NOT THERE.
@thecommenter90 True, also, you hear what you want to hear and you see what you want to see. When a group writes more than 200 songs, every hoax could have dozens of 'arguments'.
I suggest that if you want to discuss the death of Paul, and his replacement by William that you all look for the doc film "Paul McCartney is Dead". It is a telling of the tale from none other the George Harrison's son shortly after George was stabbed in 1999.
"well here's another clue for you all,the warlus was paul." when heard backwards it says,"Paul took the wrong road" ....thumps up if you agree with me :3
When Paul Died In The Car Crash Of 1966, He Was Decapitated And His Face Made Him Look Like A Walrus, But In The Song "I Am The Walrus" John Claims To Be Him Because He Didn't Want Paul To Be Dead.....They Tried To Give Us Sooo Many Hints But, We Just Didn't See :(
@wardensmaiden99 Paul McCartney is NOT dead, that was an urban legend, anyone with ANY common scene can see that you retard. Those so called "hints" were all meaningless and lighthearted pictures, and they were not meant to convey a message because there WAS NO MESSAGE. Just coincidences people pointed out to stir up commotion. People were trying to interpret meaningless photos (such as the album cover for Abbey Road) into a theory to make themselves sound smart, yet it did the EXACT opposite.
@minnaNintendoNerd actually John Lennon once said in an interview about Glass Onion(direct quote) "I threw the line in—'the Walrus was Paul'—just to confuse everybody a bit more. It could have been 'The fox terrier is Paul.' I mean, it's just a bit of poetry." He was not talking about Paul in "I Am The Walrus"
@minnaNintendoNerd John Lennon wanted to give Paul some support because this is when he was obsessed with Ono so he was just trying to give Paul some credit and remind him that he's still his bud.
I LOVE THIS SONG!
