Come Together
Quatuor Ebene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me

He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah




Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Come Together" by Quatuor Ebene's song are rich in symbolism and are open to various interpretations. One interpretation is that the song is about unity and coming together as a society. The opening line refers to "old flat top," which could be a reference to a guitar. This line could be interpreted as a call to musicians, or people, to come together and create something beautiful. "He got joo joo eyeballs, he one holy rollers" could be a reference to people with spiritual beliefs and how they can contribute to society.


The lyrics also showcase individualism and freedom, indicated by "He just do what he please." However, the line, "You got to be free," could be interpreted as a notion that individual freedom comes with a responsibility to work together for a better society. The lyrics also indicate that individualism can be destructive, demonstrated in the lines "He bad production, he got walrus gumboot."


The final lines of the song, "Come together, yeah," are a repeated call to unity. The song is poetic, and there may be several different interpretations of the lyrics, but it ultimately promotes the idea of unity for the betterment of society.

Finally, a string quartet who knows what they are doing when playing the Beatles and Rock'n Roll! Wonderful rendition. Bravo!

TheRunner75

I'm a big fan of Beatles and of chamber music too... I must say... Amazing ! It sounds like contemporary music !

Alec Galambos

Captures the spirit and grit of the original and does something new with it at every moment. Brought a fresh take to every note in the song - true to the purpose of an arrangement as an artistic work. Not to mention makes perfect use of these versatile instruments. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

Jesse Beentjes

WOWOWOWOW. This is so brilliant! I'm so happy I found it. Nice interpretation, what passion!

petitfruit

cnmaster01

I have never before heard an arrangement or a rock song, be it orchestra band quartet piano trio or what-have-you, that so perfectly captured the essence of the work. I always believed that it would take a master from both worlds to achieve such a thing BRAVISIMO!

wallawizard

❤️ this! I went to see them a year ago and they were just as amazing, spirited, and energetic as ever! Once again, great job for them :)

Fiona Dorn
