One of the more curious cuts from "Revolver," the final track recorded for that album developed from a break in the Beatles' 1965 US concert tour. They rented a house in the Benedict Canyon area above Beverly Hills prior to two Hollywood Bowl shows. The LSD was flowing freely, and Peter Fonda (pre-"Easy Rider") kept telling John and George about a childhood gun accident where he was brought back to life by the doctors three times, saying he knew what it's like to be dead. This bummed everybody out, but it gave the boys a song idea. Paul didn't even play here (George played bass), probably because of an argument in the studio; he also hadn't taken LSD yet and couldn't relate. It shifts back and forth between 3/4 and 4/4 time, and Ringo's drum part is really quite good.
