Fun Fact

blogthoven:

Because, written by John Lennon, was inspired by 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.”

Well, that’s neat.
