Reflecting back the solo works, I can almost hear how this would have been a terrific Beatles song. Polished up by McCartney and Harrison’s guitar work.

There was something magical about the confluence of talent. While on its own is a great song, so many songs that were issued individually could have been augmented significantly.

Real Love and Free as a Bird come to mind as Great Lennon songs in demo format that were massaged into beautiful pieces with much more depth.

Oh well…

Absolutely captivating song, it makes you think that maybe we have all been here before and as the man says.” They keep moving the doors”

One of John’s best songs. I really don’t know where Phil Spector comes in on this other than producing the song. It’s a typical John song that, with a different arrangement, would blend in perfectly with the Mind Games album.

I was surprised by the reviewers comment about how, it would have been a nice stand alone single in early 1974. I’ve never heard anyone else suggest that. But its a good idea! Maybe too long & mellow to be a huge hit, but a worthwhile idea.

As to it not fitting in with Walls & Bridges sonically, or stylistically. I’m not so sure about that, Walls & Bridges is a little harder sonically, but I think it would have probably fit. Sort of fits with the mellower feel of Mind Games too. I really wonder if Lennon & Spector cut any others, like perhaps Mucho mungo, which Lennon said they both worked on during this period. But whether they cut a version of Mucho Mungo during the Here We Go Again period I don’t know. I’d sure like to hear it, if they did.

Also Lennon’s falling out with Phil Spector at the time, ( who he co-wrote it with), may have contributed to it not being released at the time.

I agree with Craig Braelow, this song sounds mystic like”# 9 Dream”. I agree with the editorial, this would have made a great stand alone single. Having just got “Menlove Avenue” earlier this year, this is a favorite of mine. Brilliant vocals by John Lennon.
