What the Beatles said about “I’m Only Sleeping”
JOHN 1980: "It’s got backwards guitars… that’s me dreaming my life away."
PAUL circa-1994: "It was a nice idea– ‘There’s nothing wrong with it. I’m not being lazy, I’m only sleeping, I’m yawning, I’m meditating, I’m having a lay-in.’ The luxury of all that was what it was all about. The song was co-written but from John’s original idea."
