Because
Across the Universe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It turns me on
Because the world is round
Ah, because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the wind is high
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Ah, ah, ah, ah
The lyrics of the song Because by the Beatles' Across the Universe consist of four stanzas, each talking about turning on by a different aspect of the world. The first two stanzas talk about 'the world' and 'the wind', respectively. The line "Because the world is round, it turns me on" in the first stanza sounds like a reference to the theory of the world being a sphere instead of flat. The idea of the world being round might have symbolized completeness and perfection in the songwriter's eyes. The second stanza talks about getting one's mind blown by the wind. The wind referred to here could be an allegory for something powerful and life-changing, capable of blowing one's mind away.
The last two stanzas of the song talk about love and the sky. The line "Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you" could be seen as the song's central message. Love is a fundamental force that has been present since the beginning of time and yet remains as relevant today as it was then. The last stanza, which talks about how the sky's blueness makes the writer cry, could signify a deep emotional connection or nostalgia that the writer gets from watching the sky.

Планета людей
Земля поможет нам понять самих себя,
Как не помогут никакие книги.
Земля сопротивляется любя
И Человек растёт, в борьбе упорно покоряя пики.
Но для борьбы ему орудия нужны
Рубанок нужен, плуг или машины
Крестьянин в поле понимает, как важны
Всеобщей истины глубины.
И самолет, как прежде корабли,
Природы тайны вырвать помогает,
Прокладывая новые пути, —
К вопросам вечным человека приобщает.
Я не забуду первый мой полет
Над Аргентиной, среди звезд, среди Вселенной,
И точно звезды, очаги людских домов,
Где люди говорят о сокровенном
И в этом море тьмы, где каждый огонек
Мне возвещал о чуде человеческого духа.
При свете лампы кто-то платье шьёт
Иль музыкой ласкает чьё-то ухо.
А здесь, быть может, кто-то охватить
Просторы Космоса пытается упорно
Над формулами бьется, ищет нить
Как вычислить размеры электрона.
Там любят-всем любовь нужна
Учителю и плотнику, поэту.
Подать бы другу весть-она ему важна,
Собрать бы вас, чтоб сохранить Планету.

This is the best version in my opinion and the highlight of this wonderful musical! I think it's the best musical ever made! Anyone agree?

Hm...it’s certainly one of the most ambitious. Some parts are great, some parts...not so much

Probably the greatest movie tribute to the 60's era ever made. Seen it 7 times when it came out in movie theaters, very underrated and remained very confidential in France. I already was a big Beatles fan, and if the movie instantly took me in, my first reaction to the soundtrack was mild because of the many changes in song arrangements. Now I totally love the soundtrack too.

It's up there for me as one of the top movie musicals out there, without a doubt one of the most unique. One of my favorite movies period.
