It's All Too Much

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
When I look into your eyes
Your love is there for me
The deeper that I go inside
The more there is to see

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

Floating down the sea of time
From life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are
Or where you'd like to be

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And all the world is birthday cake
So take a piece but not too much

Set me on a silver sun
Where I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere
And get me home for tea

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

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
And everything is what you make
For me to take, it's all too much

(It's all too much)
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
Then we'll take you higher
Good God!

With your long blond hair and your eyes of brown
With your long blond hair and your eyes of brown

Too much
Too much
