Across the Universe - Naked version by The Beatles

“The original song was on the "Let It Be" album released 45 years ago this month!! We really love this stripped back version from "Let It Be...Naked," which did away with much of the production that Phil Spector had added. Written by John who was really pleased with the song saying "It's one of the best lyrics I've written. In fact, it could be the best. It's good poetry, or whatever you call it, without chewin' it. See, the ones I like are the ones that stand as words, without melody. They don't have to have any melody, like a poem, you can read them."”

This is a 1000x better than the "Let it Be" version.
