Caution: You are now annotating this song as
Because the world is round it turns me on

Because the wind is high it blows my mind

Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue

About Because

The final song to be recorded for Abbey Road was John Lennon’s Because. The song was inspired by Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and featured The Beatles' distinctive three-part vocal harmonies.

Yoko Ono was a classically trained pianist whose interests had moved towards the avant garde. One day in 1969, however, she played Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 — the Moonlight Sonata.
