090805 Nothing's Gonna Change My World

This song has been stuck in my head since I heard it in Mexico almost a month ago. Sometimes you need to see the lyrics to appreciate the poetry. I called a friend last night and asked him to remind me that death was just the line to get into the afterparty. I feel like the chorus of this song isn’t complete or that it is untouchable in its completion. Following a friends advice, I’m going to overdo it and say “. . .but a good remix”.

"Across The Universe"
John Lennon

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open mind inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me
like a million suns and calls me on and on
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva [Repeat to fade]
