About It's All Too Much

"It's All Too Much" is a song by the English rock group the Beatles from their 1969 album Yellow Submarine. Written by George Harrison in 1967, it reflects the ideological themes of that year's Summer of Love. The Beatles recorded the track in May 1967, shortly after completing their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was one of four new songs they then supplied for the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine, to meet their contractual obligations to United Artists. Harrison wrote "It's All Too Much" as a celebration of his experiences with the hallucinogenic drug LSD, although he subsequently found the same realisations in Transcendental Meditation and denounced LSD after visiting Haight-Ashbury in August 1967. The song features a Hammond organ, which gives the track a drone-like quality typical of Indian music, electric guitar feedback, and an overdubbed brass section. Largely self-produced by the band, the recording displays an informal approach that contrasts with the discipline of the Beatles' previous work, particularly Sgt. Pepper. The song's sequence in the Yellow Submarine film has been recognised for its adventurousness in conveying a hallucinogenic experience. more »

It's all too much for me to see 
The love that's shining all around you 
It's everywhere, it's what you make 
For us to take each other's love

It's all too much for me to see 
The love that's shining all around me 
The more I am, the less I know 
And what I do is live for love

Hey, hey, hey, hey 
Oh no, no, no, no, no 
Yeah, hey, hey, hey 
All right 
It's all too much 
It's all too much 
It's all too much

It's all too much for me to see 
The love that's shining all around you 
It's everywhere, it's what you make 
For us to take each other's love

It's all too much for me to see 
The love that's shining all around me 
The more I am, the less I know 
And what I do is live for love

It's all too much 
It's all too much 
It's all too much 
It's all too much

Journey

Journey is an American rock band formed in 1973 in San Francisco by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987, after which it temporarily disbanded. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981's "Don't Stop Believin'", which became in 2009 the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history.
