Jai Guru Deva Om

Been listening to the Beatles lately. I woke up for Sahur today (did I mention it's Ramadhan already?) and my head was playing 'All you need is love' in repeat.

This got me to watch the 'Across the Universe' movie trailer again, a musical consisting only Beatle music. The sheer impact of the 'Hey Jude' outro always gave me the chills.

And then I started getting into 'Across the Universe', the most poetic song sang by Lennon (whom if you recall, sang one of the greatest songs in history 'Imagine'). I learned to play it with my guitar already, but what got me into it is how amazing his lyrics are.

"Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
they slither while they pass
they slip away across the universe"

Interesting imagery, making Lennon one of my favourite songwriters.

I'll post the 'Across the Universe' clip sometime.
