Revolution (number)

"Revolution" is a song by The Beatles written by John Lennon and attributed to Lennon-McCartney . The Beatles released two different versions of the song: a hard rock version as B-side of the single " Hey Jude "and a slower version called" Revolution 1 "on the album The Beatles . While "Revolution" was previously released, it was recorded a few weeks after "Revolution 1" as a remake, especially intended to be released as a single. A third related issue is written by Lennon experimental " Revolution 9 ", which emerged from an unused portion of" Revolution 1 ".

The song was inspired by political protests (especially against the Vietnam War ) in early 1968. The lyrics of Lennon expressed doubts about some of the tactics. When the single version was released in August saw the political left this as treason. See the release of the album release in November showed Lennon uncertainty destructive change, with the words "count me out" (do not count on me) otherwise included as "count me out, into" (do not count, or at me).
