John Lennon ~Walls and bridges-Steel and glass~

[LtonBuzzardWhereElse]

Ed Miliband "steel and grit" lol.

@LtonBuzzardWhereElse

Yep, Walls and Bridges, Steel and Grit...I cant think where Ed nicked that from. Murdoch raiding John lennon's back catalog for his proteges' copy now.

Mossad obsessed with mocking John Lennon for some bizarre reason. .see the leader of EDL (israel defence legue) also calls himself Lennon.

I cant see where John Lennon fits in , but nevermind, ...the loonies..

So beautiful!

[danielramsayburns]

this is one of my favorite albums! 

[Iancrockert]

Are these songs remixed? I haven't heard the original album for years but there's something different about it. Thanks for posting. Love and Peace.

[jenningsjohnp]

I love it !!!

[anddaz]

music very similar to how you sleep

[TheCocky69]

@anddaz yup they say this song is about alan klein



[Monkofmagnesia]

According to Nicholas Schaffner's "The Beatles Forever," a very detailed biography of the Beatles, this is all about Allen Klein, who John felt used and betrayed him. Klein was another father figure who let John down.

This isn't the first time John Lennon has re-written something shamefully similar to another song (How Do You Sleep?) but I always love it when he does it XD John Lennon is great, and he can do the same music and lyrical concept twice and it's still entertaining.

@fishe153

You're right about that. And 'How Do You Sleep' is a great song, but the whole thing was a jab at McCartney. Some of the lines were even left out of that one, because they were too personal. 'Steel and Glass' was a sequel to that song, but this time directed at their former manager Allen Klein. He probably used the same riff/melody because they both had the same theme, and were directed at the two guys he felt were responsible for breaking up the Beatles.

@jasmith909 Actually, it's about John.

[jasmith909]

@stillspooky

Ironically, it can be taken that way, being that a few of the lines can apply to him as well (notably "your mother left you when you were small"), but from all the info that's out there, most sources claim it's about Klein. Go ahead and google 'Allen Klein Steel and Glass' and there's quite a bit of info on it. The song "You Never Give Me Your Money" off Abbey Road is generally believed to be about him as well. McCartney actually sued Klein to break his grip on the band.

@jasmith909 @jasmith909 There's a video of "How do you sleep" by ralel0404 that says it all in an interview at the end. What's important is not what some commentator (us) has to say about it. "all you had was yesterday" can be interpreted as being about Paul, but the key word is "interpreted".

[ckjet19991222]

just perfect

[realsugarpig]

I have this album with a completely different cover...

[roytranter]

Even without Harrison's savage slide solo

this is a fine son of "How Do You Sleep" and one of John's best late songs.

[LaMOi1]

Feel that... great track, not a huge beatles fan, Lennon kills it with this track

[jilleoi]

love it

[SELINA12ABLE]

THE BEST

[twinoak170]

sorry, BEATLES
