What is the Content of the song “Revolution” by The Beatles?
Lennon said the song was inspired by the May 1968 uprising in France.[citation needed] This was the first overtly political song the Beatles recorded, reflecting the shift in Lennon’s 1967 creative focus on psychedelia, LSD, and transcendental meditation, which had collapsed in the wake of the Beatles’ February-March 1968 trip to India, Lennon’s involvement with politicially-oriented artist Yoko Ono, and the growing social upheavals of 1968. McCartney was initially uneasy about the political nature of the song, which he felt was at odds with the Beatles’ style. Another song called “Revolution” was released by the London psychedelic group Tomorrow in September 1967, a year before the John Lennon song.
