I Me Mine - Perfectly said
About "I Me Mine"
From the original Beatles Album "Let It Be" (1970)
GEORGE 1980: "'I Me Mine' is the ego problem. I looked around and everything I could see was relative to my ego. You know, like 'that's my piece of paper,' and 'that's my flannel,' or 'give it to me,' or 'I am.' It drove me crackers-- I hated everything about my ego-- it was a flash of everything false and impermanent which I disliked. But later I learned from it-- to realize that there is somebody else in here apart from old blabbermouth. 'Who am I' became the order of the day. Anyway, that's what came out of it: 'I Me Mine' ...it's about the ego, the eternal problem."

George was my favorite Beatle............ I totally agree with him, when ego is there you have a big problem with achieving peace.

Thanks!
I've known this song since age 13, but never stopped to think about the meaning...
As a musician I noticed that for many years it was all about the melodies, rhythm, harmony & arrangement for me.
Many times I didn't have a clue what the song was about!!!
Well, I'm glad to say it's changed and now I enjoy listening in a new different way.Hmmm...
