Music lyric of the day by The Beatles' John Lennon: 'My mother was of the sky. My father was of the earth. But I am of the universe...'

A music lyric from John Lennons Yer Blues is todays focus, highlighting a phase when the The Beatles were moving into more personal and experimental territory. Written during their stay in India and released on The White Album, the lyric reflects Lennons state of mind, often linked to feelings of detachment and a search for identity. The song, though partly intended as a take on blues music, carried a raw and honest tone, which continues to draw attention to its meaning even now.
