A custom Music Video for the 1968 song Glass Onion from the self titled album, also known as "The White Album," using film from 1962-1968.
"Glass Onion" is a song by The Beatles from The Beatles primarily written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. This is the first track on the White Album to feature Ringo Starr on drums. Starr briefly left the group during recording sessions for the album and was replaced on drums by Paul McCartney on both "Back in the U.S.S.R." and "Dear Prudence".The song refers to several earlier Beatles' songs, including "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", "Lady Madonna", "The Fool on the Hill", and "Fixing a Hole". There are also subtle, passing references to "There's a Place", "I'm Looking Through You", and "Within You Without You". The song also refers to the "Cast Iron Shore", a coastal area of south Liverpool, known to local people as "The Cazzy".
The song's "The Walrus was Paul" lyric is both a reference to "I Am the Walrus" and Lennon saying "something nice to Paul" in response to changes in their relationship at that time. Later, the line was interpreted as a "clue" in the "Paul is dead" urban legend that alleged McCartney died in 1966 during the recording of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. The line is preceded with "Well, here's another clue for you all".
Lennon himself dismissed any deep meaning to the mysterious lyrics:
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. I was having a laugh because there'd been so much gobbledygook about Pepper—play it backwards and you stand on your head and all that."

  • the beatles created classic rock all my loving was a pop song this song pointed the way to the seventies for rock bands

  • @MeLiiLilly He actually did write that song as a mindfuck. But the Walrus was a refernce from the poem sang by tweedledee and tweedledum in Alice in wonderland in which he would call himself the Walrus, until he later realised the walrus was a capitalist and he didn't believe in capitalist views e.g, the song imagine.

  • @MeLiiLilly John wrote that as a headfuck for all of the fans who read too much of the band's lyrics. :/
