  Seven Songs for the Week #64

  Jason Carty

  The John Lennon Mind Games boxset is nearly upon us (out July 12th) and they have been pre-releasing tasty morsels like this one. Uncut magazine has a fantastic nine track sampler from the box in its current issue which is well worth picking up - maybe it’s all the Mind Games you need, that’s up to you. You Are Here was the name of an art exhibition John did with Yoko in 1968 - their first big public project together. John made a deal with Harry Nilsson that they should both write songs called You Are Here and see who’s is best. It would be 5 years later before John got around to writing this, and it’s a beautifully melodic song which sounds exactly like the kind of thing Nilsson would write. It’s very Nilsson.
