It’s a Buddhist painting of the Wheel of Life/Existence and the karmic cycle, @Beatlebug.

Ah. Makes sense. I thought it might be something like that, but the image was too small to tell.

Instant Karma is such an earworm. Could also easily see it as a Beatles song.

I couldn’t. It just wouldn’t really work. Where would it go, and what album would you put it on?

Isn't he a bit like you and me?

What frustrates me about this kind of hypothetical Beatlization of solo songs is that people seem to forget that a lot of solo songs wouldn’t exist if the Beatles were still together/it was written at an earlier point in time. Instant Karma is a great example of this.

Isn't he a bit like you and me?

I am well aware of that because it’s obvious. I’m referring to a solo song that could feasibly be a Beatles type song. Instant Karma has a mainstream, upbeat tone with a message ala Revolution

And a lot of solo songs wouldn’t exist were it not for the Beatles rejecting them, see much of George’s All Things Must Pass , and John and Paul have many songs floating around from the Kinfauns demos through to the “Get Back ” sessions that they later reworked for solo release, @StrawberryFields91. Instant Karma  falling just before the final split, I don’t see it’s such a problem to consider how it might have come out if they’d recorded one last single. Instant Karma  on the a-side, maybe Another Day  on the b-side.

Instant Karma could have come at any time on any album.  It was, how do you say… Instant? John once said he wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and released it for dinner.

What the Beatles actually made bad music but we just live in an alternate reality with the worst music imaginable?

Little Child is great. One of my favorite early tunes. I’ve been reading a lot of negativity towards Beatles music from your end recently. Are you sure you even like them?
