"BECAUSE"

(Best viewed in original to see the cricket)

According to Lennon, "Because" was inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
"Yoko was playing Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano ...
I said, 'Can you play those chords backwards?', and wrote 'Because' around them.
The lyrics speak for themselves ... No imagery, no obscure references."

"Because" is a ballad written by John, (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and
performed by The Beatles. It features a 3-part harmony vocal performance between
Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison, overdubbed three times to make nine voices in all.
The results of this have been compared in sound to the Beach Boys.

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh

Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh

Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue.......aaaaaaaahhhh

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

Well spotted, Carol; once again it shows how amazing nature is in disguising some creatures.
