I Am The Walrus Across The Universe

The Walrus and the Cosmos: A Beatles Brain-Bender

Okay, let's be honest. We all love The Beatles. But some of their songs are... well, weird. Really weird.

I'm talking about those songs that make you scratch your head and say, "What was John Lennon smoking?" Two tunes immediately spring to mind: I Am The Walrus and Across The Universe.

First, the Walrus

I Am The Walrus. What even *is* that song? It's a psychedelic circus of nonsense.

You've got egg men, corporation t-shirts, and semantic gymnastics. It's like a fever dream set to music.

Some people call it a masterpiece. I call it wonderfully, gloriously baffling. I can't help bopping when I hear the song and singing along, loudly!

Now, to the Universe (Across It)

Then there's Across The Universe. A much more gentle, ethereal experience.

It's all about cosmic love and letting go. Very zen, very groovy. But is it... overrated?

Maybe. I said it! Don't get me wrong, it's pretty. But does it pack the same punch as, say, Hey Jude? Not in my book.

The Unpopular Opinion: Walrus > Universe

Here's where things get controversial. Prepare yourselves.

I think I Am The Walrus is the better song. *Gasp!* I know, I know. It's like saying you prefer pineapple on pizza. But hear me out.

Across The Universe is beautiful, yes. But it's... safe. Predictable even.

I Am The Walrus is dangerous. It's unpredictable. It's like a musical rollercoaster that might just fly off the rails at any moment.

It's pure, unadulterated artistic expression, even if that expression is a bit bonkers. To be fair, it's that bonkers feeling that makes it such a gem.

The Lyrics: Nonsense or Genius?

The lyrics to Walrus are often dismissed as just word salad. But maybe there's more to it than that.

Maybe Lennon was tapping into some deeper, subconscious truth. Or maybe he was just having a laugh. Who knows?

Either way, those nonsensical lyrics are strangely compelling. They stick with you. They burrow into your brain and refuse to leave.

The Verdict

So, there you have it. My (possibly insane) take on these two iconic Beatles tracks.

Across The Universe is nice. But I Am The Walrus is an experience.

It's a wild ride that leaves you questioning everything you thought you knew about music, life, and the meaning of being an eggman. And frankly, I prefer a song that makes you question things rather than just smile serenely.

Ultimately, it's all subjective. Music is art, and everyone interprets art differently. But next time you're listening to The Beatles, give I Am The Walrus a little extra love.

It might just surprise you. Or it might just confuse you even more. But either way, you won't be bored. Goo goo g'joob!
