Lennon’s comment that he wanted his track to “sound like the Dali Lama and a thousand Tibetan monks chanting on a mountainside” is reflected in this arrangement. In addition to the acoustic and electric instruments, there is a layer of pre-recorded sound comprising Tibetan bells, bowls, and singing.
