A palm raised behind Macca’s head on the Y ellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour covers is a symbol used to signify death. More compelling yet is the small picture of William Shears Campbell on a poster packaged with the record.Įlsewhere, the Eastern mysticism comes into play again. On ‘Mother Nature’s Son’ there are the poignant lyrics, “.find me in my field of grass”. ‘I’m So Tired’, again played backwards, offers the line. ‘Revolution #9’, played backwards, supposedly says, “turn me on dead man”. For example ‘Glass Onion’ name checks the walrus as Paul (more on that later). These facts, given the group’s interest in Eastern mysticism, are seen as big clues by the conspiracy theorists.īack further to The White Album and, though the album cover is plain, the music holds the clues. However, some Eastern cultures believe that we are one year old at birth, and also bury people in their bare feet.

To understand this, it is best to look at the theory, and its place in Beatles folklore. The track’s collages of experimental sound are there for a reason, according to the conspiracy theorists. This piece of psychedelic genius was the basis for a dark tale lurking below the surface. The background of the Beatles conspiracy hinges on their track, ‘I Am The Walrus’.
