All through the day/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ All through the night/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ Now they're frightened of leaving it/ Everyone's weaving it/ Coming on strong all the time/ All through the day I me mine/ CHORUS: I-I-me-me-mine I-I-me-me-mine I-I-me-me-mine I-I-me-me-mine/ All I can hear/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ Even those tears/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ No one's frightened of playing it/ Everyone's saying it/ Flowing more freely than wine/ All through the day I me mine/ CHORUS/ All through your life/ I me mine
"I Me Mine" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album Let It Be. Written by George Harrison -- who has no comparison -- it was the last new track the group recorded before the Beatles' breakup in April 1970.
The song originated from the Beatles' January 1969 rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios, when they were considering making a return to live performance.
Written at a time of acrimony within the group, the lyrics lament humankind's propensity for self-centeredness and serve as a comment on the discord that led to Harrison temporarily leaving the Beatles.
The musical arrangement alternates between waltz-time verses and choruses played in the hard rock style. The song reflects Harrison's absorption in post-Vedic Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and their denouncement of the ego, after the Buddha's massive influence on Brahmanism (which became Hinduism) in favor of universal or "cosmic" consciousness.
We waltz, get high, and have love ins...
When Harrison presented "I Me Mine" to the Beatles at Twickenham, John Lennon showed little interest and instead waltzed with Yoko Ono while the other Beatles rehearsed the song. Footage of the dismissive couple dancing was included in the Let It Be documentary film.
In January 1970, by which point Lennon (and unwelcome Ono) had privately left the group, the three remaining members of the Beatles formally recorded the song without Lennon's involvement at EMI Studios in London for the Let It Be album.
When preparing the album for release, producer Phil Spector extended the track by repeating the chorus and second verse, in addition to adding orchestration and a female choir.
Among music critics, several writers have identified "I Me Mine" as a powerful final performance by the Beatles and an apt statement from Harrison.
The song has been referenced by some religious scholars in their commentary on the pitfalls of egoism.
Harrison titled his 1980 autobiography I, Me, Mine after the track. The original recording, lasting just 1:34, appeared on the Beatles' 1996 outtakes compilation Anthology 3, introduced by a mock announcement from Harrison referring to Lennon's departure. More
(Millicent Rose) Premiered Aug. 14, 2025: I took a year out from my degree and went to India for six months, alone. It was the most transformative time of my life, I went with a one-way ticket to do yoga teacher training and went on to travel seven states, learn Buddhist meditation, and fully immerse myself in the culture, food, people, and religion(s). These eight minutes barely begin to dream of scratching the surface of the experiences I had, but putting these clips together made the already far away dream feel more of a reality.
Gross and revolting, India has the most beautiful places in the world, too

Home to the Dalai Lama, there is a certain sense of love, happiness & hope in the air. I really took a break from vlogging while I was here and the rest of my trip in India. But I still managed to put together a lovely video of my memories for you. My wish is for you to feel inspired by the end of this video!
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy ✨

From the genius series by Douglas Adams, envisioning a conversation with "God," the ruler of the universe and solopsist (solipsism). It is the last scene in the first BBC radio series of the science fiction comedy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The principal characters pay a visit to the ruler of the universe. The original 12 episode radio series, the trilogy of books, subsequent books, and even the low-budget British TV series are all far superior to the poorly done movie most people are familiar with. Here are three very short videos on the notion of questioning even sacred and sacrosanct topics such as God and religious beliefs.
Invited by Richard Dawkins, a satirical reading by Douglas Adams on the topic of future cows, bred to want to be eaten and capable of clearly saying so (Korean subtitles): God, the universe, and everything is brought into question in a spirit of free inquiry as the Buddha invited in the KalamaSutra.
Douglas Adams on the anachronistic role of novels and the new use of science books. The world is a thing of utter and extraordinary complexity and mystery. It is wonderful to explore, to investigate, to question, and admire it. Writing satirical science fiction comedy allows him to do that, making perhaps the most significant author of the 20th Century. Now deceased, his influence remains -- as an author, skeptic, environmentalist, and above all a genius and wit.
Free thinker, atheist, and author Richard Dawkins speaking at UC Berkeley on the topic of religion and questioning the sacrosanct, quoting Douglas Adams in the process: "Religion...has certain ideas at the heart of it which we call sacred or holy or whatever. What it means is, 'Here is an idea or notion that you're not allowed to say anything bad about; you're just not. Why not? - because you're not!' "
