For me this is a George masterpiece. The lyrics are amazing, possibly the best track on Sgt Pepper.

We were talking - about the space between us all
And the people - who hide themselves behind a
   wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late -
   when they pass away.

We were talking - about the love we all could
   share - when we find it
To try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love - we could save the world - if
   they only knew.

Try to realise it's all within yourself no-one else
   can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
   and life flows on within you and without you.

We were talking - about the love that's gone so
   cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul -
   they don't know - they can't see - are you one
   of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself - then you
   may find, peace of mind is waiting there -
And the time will come when you see
   we're all one, and life flows on within you and
   without you.

I'll give it a 2. This and 'When I'm 64' should have been tossed on Peppers and 'Strawberry Fields' and 'I Am The Walrus' should have been put on it. Now that would have been an album.

Im pretty sure I am the walrus was after sgt peppers came out It could have penny lane on it but personally I really like when I'm 64 and I dont mind within you, without you. I wouldn't call it a George masterpiece tho

This song is boring, it drones on and on, I don't even think George took it too seriously given the laughter at the end. Why didn't you post this under Songs? Its a song, right?

Yeah, I know, but I still want those two.

isnt that supposed to be crying at the end which some people took the meaning of the song as within and without paul, part of the paul is dead hoax

I

No.

I like the song a lot.  It has a deep meaning.  Its just a deep song and I think the lyrics are great.  I gave it a 5.  Its one of my favorites on Pepper.

..and the melody is just topnotch. Just like "The Inner Light." Like Paul said, forget the Indian stuff, just listen to the melody.

It's kinda hard to forget about the Indian stuff with so many around...

I really like the song and the lyrics are great, but it does go on too long--essentially the verses get repeated--I think a little George Martin (and editing) could have come in handy at this point.  

Could have been the second best song on the album a little shorter.  Of Course I guess the song's like time or duration--that always seems to go on a little longer than we expect.  

I like the song, but i gave it a 3 in comparison with others. It does indeed go for quite a long time.

I thought Jeff Lynn's performance of Inner Light at the concert for George was just absolutely perfecto! Only George himself could've done it better.

[Soft_Guitar60]

This is an underrated song. I like the song, although the song is a bit too long...
I'll give it a 4.

[scousette]

I'm pleasantly surprised that so many voted "4" on this.  I think it's way ahead of its time.   The orchestral arrangement by George Martin is magnificent.  The lyrics, while esoteric, are more meaningful now that I'm older and wiser LOL.

[Lostio]

I really despise this song. The ultimate George breakdown.

It really annoys me how this totally ruins the perfection of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

I always hated this song and would rate it an 0 if possible. Yet, I gave it a 1, which is more than it deserves.

Really, I get no pleasure at all while listening to this song. I simply can't get what is there of any good about this song.
