Tomorrow Never Knows

"Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream,
It is not dying, it is not dying?

Lay down all thought, surrender to the void,
Is it shining? Is it shining?"


Tomorrow Never Knows. It was the last song on the Beatles' "Revolver" album. Two years earlier, the Beatles released the album "A Hard Day's Night," which contained such finely crafted pop standards as "And I Love Her" and "Can't Buy Me Love." The Beatles hinted at an evolution from poppy love songs to something else with their previous album "Rubber Soul," but for many, the first playing of "Tomorrow Never Knows" must have been a bit of a WTF moment.
