Indeed. Tomorrow Never Knows was a statement - especially with it ending the album. It was showing where they were as a band, and what was to come. To me it's a perfect storm of lyrics and atmosphere.
Lyrical and musical, Kelley. the bridges to both songs are nearly identical.
And I still think that The Beatles got the seagulls idea from The Shangri-Las.
I agree, BeatleFan. It pointed right to Sgt. Pepper's!
I think Tomorrow Never Knows is a real masterpiece and it's incredible when you think what a massive leap The Beatles made when they recorded it as the first track they worked on for Revolver. I'm surprised some aren't keen on it as I could listen to it on a loop. I'm pretty sure the "seagull" sounds aren't real seagulls. I know Geoff Emerick mentioned Paul added some altered sounds of wine glasses ringing but not sure which these are.
^Right. And Dr. Robert had a lot to do with this too...
