About This Track

“Dear Prudence” was written by John Lennon, and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was initially performed by The Beatles and is the second track on the 1968 double-disc album The Beatles (also known as “The White Album”). It was recorded in one take at Abbey Road on 28 August 1968.

Lennon wrote “Dear Prudence” to lift the spirits of Prudence Farrow, sister of actress Mia Farrow. John and Prudence met at the meditation retreat of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Rishikesh India, which she attended with Mia, and Lennon attended with fellow Beatles band mates Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

    Anything by The Beatles with very few exceptions gets a <3 (at least one). This is a wonderful song!

    I don't think you wish you were Prudence, she went crazy while she as at the meditation retreat. As John put it, they were in a race to see who could get "cosmic" first and Prudence decided that the best way to achieve that goal was to lock herself away in her room. So John and George were sent to sing to her and eventually got her out. Fortunately, she inspired John to write one of his best.

    It's kind of weird to think about listening to this song when it actually came out. the guitar tone is just perfect and its one of the beatles songs that truly lives up to the idea and image of the band that persists

    Paul is godly in this song. Drums and bass are both perfect.
