John Lennon Said 1 Song From The Beatles' 'White Album' Had 'Random Talking' For Lyrics

John Lennon said a track from The Beatles’ The White Album has random lyrics that he never wrote down. He said George Harrison and Yoko Ono helped him put the track together in the studio. He compared creating the song to throwing a pair of dice or using the I Ching to predict the future.

John Lennon said a song from The Beatles’ The White Album has “random talking” for lyrics. In addition, it includes snippets of music from Ludwig van Beethoven. Notably, the random qualities of the song are an asset.“You know, but all the words on ‘Revolution 9’ were just random talking,” he said. “There was nothing written down, bits of film script, this and that. I think it was just George, Yoko, and I. I did a lot of it with loops and chopped-up old Beethoven that was lying around EMI or any bits and pieces, stuck them together.”John gave fans more insight into the composition of “Revolution 9.” “And we did songs sort of like priming the canvas … tracks that I didn’t know if they were going to be for [‘Revolution 9’] or not,” he said. “Just where we had the tape on, a bit of echo on, and a cup of tea or something, and George and I just talked for about 20 minutes.”
