The Beatles were generally very honest and forward about what their songs were about. John Lennon admitted that a later solo song that he wrote, "Cold Turkey" was about his experience with Yoko quitting heroin. They have admitted that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about an experience that they had while on LCD. If it was about heroin they would have no problem with just admitting it. Isn't Amazing | Reviewer: Jesse | 11/30/07 It is such a beautiful yet dark song that makes everyone question the meaning. Most like to think think that it is a song about heroine and drug usage. This could be very well true but I love the idea that you can take this song and have it mean so much to so many different people. Don't you agree though that since this song is open for so much interpretation that it is just an amazing song? this song | Reviewer: girl | 11/25/07 You think by understanding this song you are a deep thinker, but there really isn't much meaning. They were obviously high when they wrote this song and many others. That doesn't make it bad, it just adds creativity. dmac | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/25/07 If this song isn't about drugs there are twenty other beatles songs that are. Of course they all used drugs. everybody knows this. I love how people are saying we should look past their mistakes. these aren't mistakes. they were things that heavily influenced the production of what might be the best music ever. drugs had a profound effect on not only this band but most bands worth anything since the mid 60's. The beginning | Reviewer: Micah Neumann | 11/20/07 In the beginning/middle of the song it talks about a man in the crowd with multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots, lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working over time its an obvious illustration of a man with mirrors on his shoes, looking up womens skirts, jacking off. Sex/Drugs/Who Cares?? Still a great song | Reviewer: Lovely Rita | 11/15/07 I don't care if this song is about drugs or sex or neither of them, it is still a great song and I love it, just like I love the Beatles!! My first thought about the song was... | Reviewer: Mikey | 11/15/07 My first thought of it was it was about suicide. I mean, I know The Beatles weren't depressed or anything, but that was my main thought when I first heard it. Because it says Happiness Is A Warm Gun, to me the gun went off, And I just coudn't see how anyone would be happy after shooting someone else. But now I see how it would me the soilders in war were happy when they shot someone else. Just to elucidate... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/11/07 PAUL 1968: "The idea of 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' is from an advert in an American paper. It said, Happiness is a warm gun, and it was 'Get ready for the long hot summer with a rifle,' you know, 'Come and buy them now!' It was an advert in a gun magazine. And it was so sick, you know, the idea of 'Come and buy your killing weapons,' and 'Come and get it.' But it's just such a great line, 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' that John sort of took that and used that as a chorus. And the rest of the words... I think they're great words, you know. It's a poem. And he finishes off, 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun, yes it is.' It's just good poetry." JOHN 1972: "They all said it was about drugs, but it was more about rock 'n roll than drugs. It's sort of a history of rock 'n roll... I don't know why people said it was about the needle in heroin. I've only seen somebody do something with a needle once, and I don't like to see it at all." JOHN 1980: "A gun magazine was sitting around and the cover was the picture of a smoking gun. The title of the article, which I never read, was 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the idea of happiness after having shot somebody. Or some animal." oh COME ON people | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/9/07 of course it´s about heroine "I need a fix 'cause I'm going down" -> fix is a slang for a dose of heroine, watch "requiem for a dream" and "trainspotting" "When I hold you in my arms" -> heroine entering his veins through his arms "And I feel my finger on your trigger" -> he´s pushing the bottom of the syringe science stadies have proven that heroine takes off all the feelings of pain, phisical and emotional, and when the effect goes away, you feel like everything is hurting you, so that´s what "happiness is a warm gun" is all about by the way | Reviewer: Badjano | 11/9/07 that doesn´t mean john was on the drug, but you don´t need to feel it to write about it, I´ve never taken it and have no intention on doing so, but I do read about it and that´s enough to understand, and they do it all the time, that´s way they´re so good Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8
