Reviews for Revolution 9 Lyrics

John said in a Rolling Stone interview, when asked ab the song, "an unconscious picture of what I actually think will happen when it happens; that was just like a drawing of revolution" makes sense to anyone whos ever dome any research on Charles Manson, or what he believed The Beatles were doing w theyre music. He believed that the blacks would rise up one day in a revolution & take over, he called it Helter Skelter & if you know much ab it, what John says in this interview w Rolling Stone matches near perfect. Its just weird to me. The song itself is no doubt amazing in its own way. Its creepy & haunting but the way John & The Beatles used it & how still to this day, so many years later, people still dont know what to make of it is awsome! I cant honestly say I can sit down & just listen to it on repeat though, the song makes me tense & kinda nerveous but I guess its bc I look to far into it but at the same time it kinda mellows me, its weird but no doubt art. People who try & say the white album wouldve been so much better w out it are dumb! The white album wouldntve been the white album if it didnt have this song on it. Sure it wouldve been an amazing Beatles album still, but what Beatles album isnt considered to be. This song helped to make the album & the conspiracys surrounding the album so popular. I know peiple who go buy the album just to check out this song. I love the Beatles & Im not sure if I believe the "Paul is dead" or the Charles Manson rumors on it but the song defintly makes you guess at alot.

ok,this song is creepy. nothin more. it is the one song that keeps me up at night. it haunts me in my dreams. it the only fault i can find in beatles music. expesialy the fact that i heard you can play it backwords and it will say "devil look at me"!!!

THe number nine part was beautiful. When i first heard this song is when i was hearing it being backmasked... i heard the full thing... I HAD IT STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR WEEKS... its a creepy gibberish song. P.S why did they backmask the only GOOD part about it instead of everything else? doesent matter. weird and beatuful song

To me, Revolution 9 is like listening to an AM radio late at night and just tuning through the band. For anyone who has ever done this, while traveling in a car or at home, you know all of the different stations you can hear. I have never tried to really make any sense of it although I have read that Paul McCartney tried in vain to keep it off the album. I think it is a great way to bring in the final song on the lp, the beautiful Goodnight. If you have a pair of headphones and some time, give Revolution 9 a listen. You may hear something nobody else has!

this song is very disturbing but you still see a connection with it.it shows how are life is revolved with undesirable things . i have seen a really awesome thing on youtube where beatles songs are backmasked jus check it out!!

it's a cool song, kinda spooky after listenin to it like 4 times in a row, but only cuz I read that some dude claims this song is and I quote, 'is in itself a step-by-step preview of his actual assassination' I don't believe that, after reading the lyrics and listening over and over I see no connection to his assassination whatsoever, the guy just made that up to sell a book about lennon, as david bowie said, 'lennon's on sale again'. It's just an avant garde song as already said... I think its amazing... I can see radiohead was inspired by it no doubt.

this aint a song to have a point!its one of the first avant garde songs of all time!thanks to the great Revolution 9 bands like ulver,arcturus and many more bands only coming out now with a style more tecnical than this song can exist!its a great song if u think of all that it can mean!its so strangly great to hear it and try to figure out everything that it says and everything it can say!i love it!

I have no clue why the Beatles would create a song as pointless as this. It's basically 8 minutes of gibberish. Please white a review if you have an idea on what this song is about, and why one of them makes a sound like, "Hububububbubub".

It's a genius who tried to understand these lyrics, and the collage is great itself. Many years nobody still can understand (at least, only a few people can) Revolution 9. It was partly recorded with Revolution 1.
