Across the Universe – The Beatles
ערב אחד כשג׳ון לנון שכב לצד אישתו הראשונה סינתיה היא דיברה ודיברה ללא סוף
וכל מה שג׳ון שמע זה רצף מילים אינסופי ללא משמעות שזורמות ומרחפות באוויר.
גם אחרי שהיא נרדמה, המילים המשיכו להדהד בראשו. הוא לקח נייר והחל לכתוב:
״מילים זורמות החוצה כמו גשם אינסופי לתוך כוס נייר
הם מחליקים בפראות כשהם חומקים על פני היקום.״
וואו, איזו כתיבה 😲 אין דברים כאלה.
המשך השיר מושפע מהתקופה שהביטלס ביקרו בהודו ונפגשו עם המהרישי לשלושה חודשי מדיטציה.
המילים שחוזרות בפזמון השיר הם ״Jai guru deva om״
והמשמעות שלהם היא ״הודו לגורו האלוהי״
ה- “ooohmm” בסוף המשפט משמש במדיטציה כדי להתייחס לרטט הטבעי של היקום.
ב 2008 השיר שודר על ידי נאס״א מהחלל לכיוון כוכב הצפון למרחק של 431 שנות אור מכדור הארץ,
כך שבאמת אפשר להגיד שהשיר בוצע מעבר ליקום
Across the Universe 🪐
Across the Universe – The Beatles
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox they
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
