THINK FOR YOURSELF

Written and sung by George Harrison, it is a warning against listening to lies. In his book I Me Mine he writes, "But all this time later, I don't quite recall who inspired that tune. Probably the government." In a departure from all precedent at the time, the song has two bass lines, a normal one and one created by Paul McCartney's then-unique application of a fuzzbox to his bass.


The story is about songwritter with a deadline that’s struggling to finish the job a TV network hired him to do all because a strange roommate that spends his time anoying him.

La canción habla sobre las mentiras, a diferencia de la idea errónea que decía que la canción estaba dedicada a su entonces novia Pattie Boyd. Más tarde, en su libro I Me Mine, Harrison dijo: "No recuerdo a quíen había dedicado la canción, pero probablemente fue para el gobierno."


En esta canción Paul McCartney toca por primera vez un bajo con efecto fuzz usando su nuevo Rickenbacker 4001


El cuento trata sobre un compositor que tiene que cumplir con un encargo de un canal de TV y no puede concentrarse debido a su extraño compañero que se la pasa molestándolo.


THE LYRYCS / LA LETRA


I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things that we can have
If we close our eyes

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you


I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you have in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery


Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you


Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you


Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you
