Send "Nowhere Man" Ringtone to your Cell

Rubber Soul (1965)
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all

Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, no hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

About this ...
- John Lennon came up with this after struggling to write a song for the album. Said Lennon: "I thought of myself sitting there, doing nothing and getting nowhere."

- This was used in the animated Beatles movie Yellow Submarine. They sing it to Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD, who describes himself as an "eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too." The Beatles decide to take him Somewhere, and he eventually helps them to defeat the Blue Meanies.

- This starts with a 3 part harmony sung by Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney.

- This is probably the first Beatles song that has nothing to do with love.

- Typical of many John Lennon compositions are the "falling" melodies, which can be heard in "Nowhere Man." Folk music often has falling melodies, indicating melancholy. In Baroque music, a falling melody means sadness.

- There is a very audible feedback 38 seconds into the song after the word "missin'." (Thanks to Ron Foster. More from Ron at oldiesradioonline.com.)

- Natalie Merchant performed this at the 2001 special, Come Together: A Night For John Lennon's Words And Music. She did a mellow version, as the show was also a tribute to victims of the terrorist attacks on America.

- In a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, Lennon recalled the background to this song: "I remember I was just going through this paranoia trying to write something and nothing would come out so I just lay down and tried to not write and then this came out, the whole thing came out in one gulp."

- In 2003, John Lennon's original handwritten lyrics to this song were auctioned at Christie's of New York for $455,500.

- Doesn't kave a point of view,/Knows not where he's going to,/Isn't he a bit like you and me?

- Doesn't have a point of view/Knows not where he's going to/Isn't he a bit like you and me?

- Nowhere Man, the world is at your command./He's as blind as he can be,/Just sees what he wants to see,/Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

- This is how I feel..

- This is stuck in my head..
