influences of Indian music is mentioned in both descriptions. I love the touch of the indain
music. John Lennon and Paul McCarty’s “In My Life” is described as a reflection of John’s life
and how the piano is made to sound like a harpsichord in the song (AllMusic Review, 2018).
“Nowhere Man" is described to move beyond romantic themes as the lyrics are not about girls or
love.

opinion given in the All Music Guide, I could see some similarities. However, the interpretation

their music and revolutionized the popular music because of this record.

There could be questions about the other songs in the album as well as questions on why the
