The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows (w/ lyrics)

My first video ever made.

Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles on their 1966 album Revolver.

"Tomorrow Never Knows" is the final track of The Beatles' 1966 studio album Revolver. It is credited as a Lennon/McCartney song, but was written primarily by John Lennon. Although it was the first song that was recorded, it was the last track on the album.

The song is significant because it contains the first example of a vocal being put through a Leslie speaker cabinet to obtain a vibrato effect (which was normally used as a loudspeaker for a Hammond organ) and the use of an ADT system (Automatic double-tracking) to double the vocal image.

"Tomorrow Never Knows" ends the Revolver album in a more experimental fashion than earlier records, which contributed to Revolver's reputation as one of the group's most influential and expressive albums.

LYRICS:
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

That love is all, that love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
That ignorance and hate may moum the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the color of your dream
It is not living, it is not living
Or play the game existance to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning,
Of the beginning, of the beginning,
Of the beginning, of the beginning,
of the beginning...

i remember first hearing this song on the radio when i was 8 and thinking it was modern electronic remix of an old beatles song when really it was recorded in 1966

The Beatles WERE the 1960s. From setting fashion trends to inventing music videos, The Beatles' cultural impact was just as apparent as their huge impact on music. Seriously, it doesn't get any better than The Beatles, and with The Beatles, it doesn't get any better than Revolver.

[ladonnarama]

it has to be one of their best songs which means it has to be one of the best popular songs ever recorded

If i heard this song in the 60's my head would probably explode.

@SarSarFTW it was a remix, i knew that song sounded familiar as well. alanis morroisette i think did the remix

[cgala1968]

this is why the Beatles are still the most popular band in the world and their music was timeless because on most of their music you cant tell if it was recorded in 1968 or 2008,whatever these guys did,they did it right and no one will ever have the impact they had,which is a good thing i guess

@TheRhinehart86 What about Beach Boys Good Vibrations, that was considered the most technically advanced song of its time, just around the same time as this album.
