In Come Together, John says, very hard mto hear, but "Shoot Me."
Only eleven years later he was shot or at least who we thought was John Lennon.
With that in mind, I think the Beatles were all into the Crowley/magick/satanism thing. It all confuses me, especially the line in How do you sleep, when he says,"So Sgt.Pepper took you by surprise?" Who is he talking to? Paul, or the rest of the B
Beatles?

In the demos, the "shoot me" is not hard to hear at all, in fact quite clear. In hindsight would look like foreshadowing..
That was a "message to Paul" as Yoko put it in the filming of Imagine.

Who is he talking to? Paul, or the rest of the B Beatles? at any rate, the line is part of a couplet: the next line sings You better SEE right though that Mother's Eyes.
"With that in mind, I think the Beatles were all into the Crowley/magick/satanism thing."? Don't freak out over what you think you know about it. Because you don't. I will pick and choose these words to help you along. And the poets have feigned songs about her, and the prophets have spoken vain things, and the young men have dreamed vain dreams; but this is she, that immaculate, the name of whose name may not be spoken. Thought cannot pierce the glory that defendeth her, for thought is smitten dead before her presence.
Memory is blank, and in the most ancient books of Magick are neither words to conjure her, nor adorations to praise her. Will bends like a reed in the temptests that sweep the borders of her kingdom, and imagination cannot figure so much as one petal of the lilies whereon she standeth in the lake of crystal, in the sea of glass. 
This is she that hath bedecked her hair with seven stars, the seven breaths of God that move and thrill its excellence. And she hath tired her hair with seven combs, whereupon are written the seven secret names of God that are not known even of the Angels, or of the Archangels, or of the Leader of the armies of the Lord.
Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, and blessed be Thy name for ever, unto whom the Aeons are but the pulsings of thy blood.  You better SEE right though that Mother's Eyes.  are we getting it yet?  and , yeah, he's talking to Paul. ;D |
