Won't you come out to play

"Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.. Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day"

It's beautiful. The first thing came out from my mind is beautiful. The lyric was so simple and so was the music. John made it so beautiful and nobody can say a thing except the word beautiful.

They just came to India, had a spiritual isolation with Mahareshi Yogi. In the middle of the their meditation they made songs from their daily life. Conflicts showed up in India, Ringo quits The Beatles for a while, everything was so unpleasant for them. But the meditation goes on and on.

Dear Prudence showed up because one of the participants Prudence Farlow was so fanatic and so serious about the meditation. Lennon tried to help her to mingle and make a social interactions with others, she refuses it. She said, she wants to face God faster than others. So John came up, singing "Dear prudence, open up your eyes. Dear prudence, see the sunny skies".

It took three days to record this song (28-30th of April 1968), John took another multi tracked vocal for this song and lots of other people helping to make the vocal harmonization, including Jackie Lomax. The shocking part was the loss of Ringo. In this song, Paul was playing the drum AND the bass AND backing vocal AND piano AND other instruments. Still, he is THE BEATLES. John was playing the finger picking guitar and George was playing the lead guitar. This "little" album was an individual album. It's not the Beatles. But it's John, Paul, George and Ringo with some other lads playing with them. But still, this little album was so amazing.

The key of the song was this part, "The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful so are you, dear prudence. Won't you come out to play". Feels like, John was begging her to come out, to look around. We can feel the climax of the song by listen to the voices of the backing vocals shredding our mind. Try to close your eyes and take a deep breath when the song is on. Imagine, you are inside the song, see the skies, feel the wind and be a part of nature. This song is so hypnotizing.The guitar play starts from D chord and the changes is only on the bass pattern. As simple as that. 

For me, this song is my #1 Beatles song. I can't really say why but since the first time I heard this song, I was thrilled. I'm pretty sure that I was 13 years old when I heard this song for the first time. I found White Album in my mom's shelf easily because it's a double album. One of the greatest album of all time that changed my life forever. 

Some media said that, in the future, Lennon/McCartney will have the same spot as Mozart or Schubert. Their music change people's mind forever. Their stories sweep the dusty road into a better one. They are genius. We'll see about that in another 3 or 5 century :)

and in the end (again), you must tell the world that peace is the only key to live. God is everywhere, God is inside you. Amen..
