After watching a fancy European ball on TV, George Harrison wrote The Beatles’ “I Me Mine.”
The ball, which showed the aristocracy dressed to the nines and wearing all kinds of jewels, made George think of self-centeredness. However, by the time George finished writing the simple song, it was about something deeper than pomp and circumstance.
In Part 1 of Peter Jackson’s new three-part documentary, The Beatles: Get Back, George told Ringo Starr and director Michael Lindsay-Hogg about a song he’d written the night before.
He’d watched a BBC 2 program called Out Of The Unknown the night before. After that, a program called Europa came on, which was “a look at pomp and circumstances through European eyes.”
