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.
