John Lennon Help Me To Help Myself

A great, emotional song by John Lennon. Found here in its demo (and only) format. Enjoy!

[What is the matter with this thing? It is speaking on my feet here, that's why we're having this interruption very bad.]

Well I tried so hard to stay alive
But the angel of destruction keeps on houding me all around
But I know in my heart that we never really parted
Oh no

They say the Lord helps those who help themselves
So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind
Cos I know deep inside I was never satisfied
Oh no, Lord help me
Lord help me now
Please help me Lord, yeah yeah yeah
Help me to help myself
Help me to help myself

[I say, I say that's how you gonna do it. OK.]

And yet here John is, asking God to help him to help himself. He certainly felt that there was a reason to pray. God help us all.

Can someone play this song backwards so everyone can hear it?

I believe in God, not religion

I especially love this acoustic version....it is so sensitive and pure-- although there's a little 'disharmony' at the end. What an enormous musical heritage--thank you John. miss you--rest in peace precious angel ♥ & ☮!

@louisalit "Imagine there's no heaven, / It's easy if you try."

If those qualities and phenomena that are used to define "God" can be explained without having to invoke & empower vestigial misconceptions about our existence, then let them be so understood.

You know... It's funny when you look back of the life of John Lennon and The Beatles. I mean it was like a really great book that ended with one of those endings that kept you wanting more and more. John's, George's, Paul's and Ringo's music as Solo Artists contributed to the story like the pages of the book. This song to me even though it may be a demo it makes it more emotional everytime it starts for me because he says I tried so hard to stay alive. For me it's like he sent it from the dead.
