Abstract
The Beatles are a globally famous band, who influenced numerous people with their music and style. As they influenced their fans, they were also the influenced by others. American artists such as Elvis, Chuck Berry and Buddie Holly and others inspired their style in the early days. Furthermore, India played an enormous role in their spiritual awakening and songwriting. The Beatles were in touch with the Indian culture from their early days due to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. They went to India and... More got to know meditation by accepting an invitation from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to attend his meditation course. This paper deals with the Beatles’ trip to India and how the Indian experience influenced their songwriting. The Beatles went from their early albums Please Please Me, Meet The Beatles!, A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, which were mostly written about love, to albums written about their personal experiences and their inner selves like The White Album, Abbey Road and their solo albums. Through meditation with the Maharishi in India they focused on their spirituality, which increased their creativity in songwriting. The time they spent in India was one of the richest periods of their songwriting. Although, they were not long in India as they had initially planned, it inspired them to write some of their most famous songs and record their most iconic albums. Some songs they wrote in India were for example “Sexy Sadie” and “Revolution 1” from The White Album, “Mean Mr Mustard” and “Polythene Pam” from Abbey Road and also many more on their solo albums.
