I Am the Walrus
3 Things:
a) The chord sequence was described by critic Ian MacDonald as “the most unorthodox and tonally ambiguous sequence he ever devised.” He referred to the looped sequence as “an obsessive musical structure built round a perpetually ascending/descending MC Escher staircase of all the natural major chords”.
b) Lennon admitted he wrote the opening lines under the influence of LSD, “The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko.”
c) Lift C’s stopped!
*Noted that c) is not for everyone..
