Across the Universe (Beatles Cover)

Across the Universe (Beatle... Lyrics & Chords

This is a vintage Beatles number, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and sung by Lennon. I love this song for various reasons but the two main ones are the simplicity of the melody, the amazing lyrics.

This song is dedicated to my dear Amma as it happens to be one of her favorite songs. She sang it back in the day while she was doing her MA. Hope you like it Amma :-)

Credits:
Originally sung: John Lennon
Lyrics: John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Vocals and harmony(Cover): George Kuruvilla

Lyrics:

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open 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
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
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 earth
are ringing through my open views
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
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

My favorite beatles song!! Great work George. Did you switch back to cubase? If I am not wrong this is not a logic pro mix.

Please listen to my recent uploads –

Beautiful, George! Hadn’t paid so much attention to the lyrics of this song until I heard your version.

On a different note, does your mom still sing? If not, you should get her to do this one, on special request from Muzibians! :)

George loved the song. Your English numbers have the right feel, just been hearing a few.
Especially songs like this who can forget the Beatles?

Good luck!

Singing at this low range and still maintaining the sweetness of the song. You can call yourself a fantastic singer.I am unable to believe.
What do i rate this song…… it is a folly to rate music. 5/5. God Bless You.
