| @[AquariaTX:35337] "Ah, bowakawa pousse, pousse" - Lennon said it was nonsense lyrics as per the faux Spanish in Sun King. Curiously though: Bo = "staff/weapon" in Japanese; wa = "as for…" in Japanese (as a topic particle) or "harmony" on its own; kawa = "river" in Japanese; pousse = "push" in French, though allegedly "pussy" was Lennon's original lyric. So, "staff/weapon/phallus, pussy, river, harmony"...?) | |

@[LimeGreenSez:35336] I think the song is about the Beatles and his modest childhood origins, reminiscing, like Strawberry Fields: So long ago was it in a dream (looking back on his life and that amazing time) Was it just a dream? (again, so incomprehensively amazing, was is a dream?) I know, yes, I know, seemed so very real (it was real as it happened, but was incomprehensively unreal) It seemed so real to me (it was real to him) Took a walk down the street (251 Menlove Avenue, his childhood home) Through the heat whispered trees (Menlove Avenue is an avenue so lined by trees) I thought I could hear Hear, hear, hear Somebody call out my name As it started to rain Two spirits dancing so strange (Lennon and McCartney) Ah, bowakawa pousse, pousse (Ah, bowakawa pousse, pousse" - Lennon said it was nonsense lyrics as per the faux Spanish in Sun King. Curiously though: Bo = "staff/weapon" in Japanese; wa = "as for…" in Japanese (as a topic particle) or "harmony" on its own; kawa = "river" in Japanese; pousse = "push" in French, though allegedly "pussy" was Lennon's original lyric. So, "staff/weapon/phallus, pussy, river, harmony"...?) Dream, dream away, magic in the air (The magic of the Beatles) Was magic in the air? I believe, yes, I believe, more I cannot say What more can I say? On a river of sound (The Beatles' music) Through the mirror go 'round, 'round (I think this could be 'merry-go-round', as per "No longer riding on the merry-go-round' of Watching the Wheels. I thought I could feel Feel, feel, feel Music touching my soul (The Beatles' music) Something warm, sudden cold (Happiness is a Warm Gun to Cold Turkey) The spirit dance was unfolding (The Beatles' legacy) Ah, bowakawa pousse, pousse |
