The Sonic Metaphysics of the Beatles: From “A Day in the Life” to “Across the Universe”
This paper explores the metaphysical structure underlying three of the Beatles’ most profound works: “A Day in the Life,” “Let It Be,” and “Across the Universe.” Through a comparative analysis of lyrical composition, musical form, and spiritual resonance, we interpret these songs as sonic expressions of metaphysics—where the human voice becomes a theological medium, and sound itself articulates the philosophy of existence.
