“Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9…“
Another of the Beatles recurring themes involved songs written by John Lennon. It seems that Lennon had a fascination with the number nine that was only overpowered by his love for Yoko.

There were supposed to be four people on the plane. There was only room for three. The fourth person lost the coin toss — or should I say won the toss. His name is Waylon Jennings. Jennings was the bass player for Holly’s band at the time. Some people [...]
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your Mother was born
Though she was born a long time ago
Your Mother should know — your Mother
should know
Sing it again
Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your Mother was born
Though she was born a long [...]
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
of every head he’s had the pleasure to have known
and the people that come and go, stop and say hello.
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
and little children laugh at him behind his back
and the banker never wears a mack, in the pouring rain, very [...]
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I’m filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong
I’m right
Where I belong I’m right
Where I belong.
Some people standing there who disagree and
never win
And I [...]
AH, Look at all the lonely people!
AH, Look at all the lonely people!
Eleanor Rigby pick up the rice in the church
Where a wedding had been,
Lives in a dream,
Waits at a window, wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All [...]

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his [...]

We’re sure that there are other clues out there that we are not aware of, or have simply forgotten. For example, We’ve overheard that someone has tried to verify that the vocal patterns of Paul’s voice were the same when he sang “Yesterday” and “Lady Madonna”, but instead found that they were different voices! Ummm….
Yeah.

Let it Be:
Purchase Let it Be
This one is short and simple. Let it Be, being their last album, was released at a point in their career when they no longer cared to support the rumors. The cover of Let it Be has a black frame surrounding The Beatles; notice that not only is Paul the [...]
Abbey Road :
Purchase Abbey Road
This album cover is, without doubt, our favorite, the clues are obvious:
The cover shows the Beatles walking across Abbey Road. John is dressed in white, as the preacher. Ringo is dressed as pallbearer, Paul, who is out of step, barefoot, and the only one holding a cigarette in his right hand [...]
Yellow Submarine:
Purchase Yellow Submarine
The open palm appears above Paul’s head on the front cover, while the yellow submarine is pictured beneath the land, stationary, coffin-like.
Yellow Submarine Movie: Even the movie has a couple of clues, one happens during the song “All You Need Is Love” when John sings “..yes, he’s dead..” the word “know” on the [...]
White Album:
Purchase The White Album
This album has little to do with the cover and much to do with the lyrics. To be honest, the album cover only, once again, highlights the theory that they were avoiding having to take pictures of William Campbell since he didn’t quite look exactly like Paul. Inside the album though, [...]
Hey Jude:
The picture above the Beatles, on top of the doorway in front of which they are standing, is supposedly a picture of where Paul is buried. Notice that his hands are clasped in front of himself.
Hey Jude Lyrics:
Lady Madonna: “..Wednesday morning papers didn’t come..” (they were recalled remember)
Revolution: “..don’t you know it’s gonna [...]
Magical Mystery Tour:
Purchase Magical Mystery Tour
Paul is in the black walrus costume on the cover, each of the other Beatles is wearing white. The walrus is a sign of death in certain cultures. Ironically, the other Beatles are dressed in white and hovering above him.
The word “Beatles” when held to a mirror is actually a [...]
