The Beatles fans say one song is so ‘disturbing’ they ‘can’t listen at night’

Fans of The Beatles have confessed that there’s one song they can’t bear to listen to after dark – because it’s “haunted”.

One track from The Fab Four’s infamous White Album has left even devoted fans uneasy, amidst the countless hits that The Fab Four has been known for. People who recall the album’s well-known tracks like Back in the USSR, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da might want to go back because some of the album’s themes are so obscure.

Some fans have recently re-visited the White Album and described it as having a “fever dream” vibe, while others describe one song as being the album’s most unsettling.

Reddit user WillingAntelope0 posted: “Every song has something disturbing or ‘off’ about it. From the screaming airplane sounds that open the album, to the jarring transitions on Happiness is a warm gun, George wailing ‘Paul, Paul, Paul… ‘, John’s ‘ghost verse’ and the single most disturbing track ever put out by a mainstream artist. There isn’t a single song in this collection that doesn’t have a creepy quality. “

“The lyrical themes in the album include suicide, car crashes, existentialism, decay, seances, drugs, and death. Instead of having a cover, the album features images of the band members, some of whom are incredibly enigmatic and eerie. And all of this disregards the other negative aspects of this album. It’s a very creepy album. I can’t listen to it at night. “

Others were quick to respond, with one saying: “Now that you mention it, the whole album almost has a fever-dream vibe to it. Not every song sounds ‘spooky’, but many of the songs sound… just a tad off, hazy, and/or dream-like. I never thought of it this way but I like that perspective. “

The terrifying sound collage between John Lennon and Yoko Ono, which many people find to be unbearably unsettling, appears to be the scariest of all. Another fan added: “Revolution 9 is the epitome of off, hazy and dream-like. The Beatles’ most bizarre song ever made it to the album.

They elaborated: “I wanna read something about that song because it just seems like a collage of random noises and there isn’t melody (a tad bit of melody, like the guy saying ‘number 9, number 9, number 9′, if that counts). R9 is the biggest oddball of all the Beatles’ other songs, in spite of how few others have been released. “

Another wrote up their thoughts, adding: “I feel like the end of the album is like a child’s nightmare. When an adult tells a child a fairy tale at night, which is as confusing and fantastic as any tale, the child awakens and experiences a terrifying nightmare, which is Revolution n. 9, than they wake up in the middle of the night and the parent calms the child with a lullaby, Goodnight. “

Yet another added, reflecting on their own spooky experience, writing: “It’s funny you say this because when I was a teenager, I used to fall asleep to Beatles albums. The White Album always gave me nightmares. “
