The Beatles - Across The Universe.

This is the background music. Haha. I know... It sounds wonderful! I would be doing injustice not to introduce the song. The song information is here.

I also got the lyrics from the website above. Haha. I reorganised it.

~ Across The Universe. The Beatles, Let It Be. ~

(Verse #1)
Words are flowing out, like endless rain into a paper cup...
They slither while they pass - they slip away, across the universe...
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
possessing and caressing me...

(Chorus)
Jai guru deva om...
Nothing's gonna change my world...
Nothing's gonna change my world...
Nothing's gonna change my world...
Nothing's gonna change my world...

(Verse #2)
Images of broken light, which shines around me like a million eyes...
They call me on and on, across the universe...
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box...
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe... (Goto Chorus)

(Verse #3)
Sounds of laughter, shades of joy...
Are ringing through my open ears, inciting and inviting me...
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns...
It calls me on and on, across the universe... (Goto Chorus)

Jai guru deva... (x4)

Beautiful isn't it? Sometimes I feel spacy. Just like the "Flying Through Space" Screensaver. The lyrics are especially beautiful - think imagery. The theme is love, I guess - it is especially obvious in the fourth verse. Just like Lennon, who wrote "Imagine" also. The recorded version... hasn't a good feel as the midi... I find it, a bit rough. The - snares? - suddenly sound in the chorus, "... nothing's gonna change my world..." allowing it to climax over the previous melodies, with the statement repeated 4 times over.
