Fact #181527

George Harrison : Octopus's Garden is Ringo's song … the second song Ringo wrote. And it's, um... it's lovely, y'know. It's again, like Ringo, he gets bored, y'know, playing the drums. And at home he plays a bit of piano, but he only knows about three chords. And he knows about the same on guitar. And so... uh, his main - the main music he likes is country and western, so it's really got a country-western feel, y'know. And, uh... it's - actually, it's - I think it's a really great song, because... um, on the surface, it just - it's like a daft kids' song. But the lyrics are great, really.

For me, y'know, I find ve- very deep meaning in the lyrics, which Ringo doesn't - probably doesn't see, but all the thing like "resting our head on the sea bed" and something, "We'll be warm beneath the storm". Which is really great, y'know, because it's like this level is a storm, and it's always - y'know, if you get sort of deep in your consciousness, it's very peaceful. So Ringo's writing his cosmic songs without noticing!
