"I Found Out" is a song by British musician John Lennon, taken from his 1970 album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. The song is angry and intensely bitter, expressing Lennon's disillusionment with a world dominated by what he saw as false religion.
In common with another theme on the album, the song is also critical of Lennon's former band The Beatles. During the late 1960s, bandmate George Harrison became interested in Eastern mysticism; Lennon dismisses Harrison's beloved gurus and Hare Krishna mantra as "pie in the sky."[1] Lennon also claims that he's "seen religion from Jesus to Paul." This double reference, to Paul the Apostle and bandmate Paul McCartney, may imply that he believed the Beatles were not loved for their music so much as worshipped as gods.
The instrumentation, style, and production of the song are typical of Lennon's Plastic Ono Band era work. The song features a low, rumbling tremolo guitar, thumping drums, a rolling, minimal bass line, and a scathing vocal delivery. The recording is bare-bones, in stark contrast to the heavy production of Lennon's later albums. It is influenced more heavily by blues music than other songs on Plastic Ono Band.

  • One of the greatest albums ever recorded !

  • I think ' John Lennon ' knew he and the other ' Beatles ' had it going on. They were innovators; but also influenced by other earlier performers. This is sort of a sad song; but everyone has to let it out somehow. Isn't it so great that ' John Lennon ' did it with song/ the arts, not with violence.
