John Lennon

Across the Universe
1969 · via Tim McGraw and 2 more
From the counter

McGraw went all the way back to a 1969 Beatles song for this one. Put Lennon's own take next to his, and then you're two steps from David Bowie's version, too.

You know the band version by heart. This one is the same song stepping out of the group photo, so put it on and listen to what changes when it stands alone.

Lennon wrote it, The Beatles cut it, and a few years on David Bowie took his own run at it in 1975. Start with Lennon's own recording, then flip to Bowie and hear the song change hands.
