"Dear Prudence" is a song written by John Lennon, and credited to Lennon--McCartney. It was released by The Beatles as the second track on their 1968 double-disc album entitled The Beatles, commonly known as The White Album.

The subject of the song is actress Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence Farrow who was present when The Beatles went to India to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Farrow became so serious about her meditation that she "turned into a near recluse" and "rarely came out" of the cottage she was living in. John Lennon was asked to "contact her and make sure she came out more often to socialize". As a result, Lennon wrote the song Dear Prudence. In the song Lennon asks Farrow to "open up your eyes" and "see the sunny skies" reminding her that she is "part of everything". The song was said to be "a simple plea to a friend to 'snap out of it'". Lennon said later that "She'd been locked in for three weeks and was trying to reach God quicker than anyone else". According to Farrow: "I would always rush straight back to my room after lectures and meals so I could meditate. John, George and Paul would all want to sit around jamming and having a good time and I'd be flying into my room. They were all serious about what they were doing, but they just weren't as fanatical as me".

Lennon did play the song for Farrow while they were in India together. According to Farrow, "I was flattered. It was a beautiful thing to have done". The lyrics of the song are simple and innocent and praise the beauty of nature in the lines: "The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you".

What? How can there possibly any dislikes for this song? It is perfection.

The absolute unique sound of the Beatles, can NEVER be duplicated

I have not forgotten music, but I have let if fall aside in my life. It has drifted as a passion. But hearing this song again after more time than I know, I know now why I became an audiophile. This song is a technical mastery of studio engineering, instrument orchestration, and considerate lyrics. With the stereo on 11 and with the bass tilted towards "high", this song just fuckin' rocks.

[JasonPengo]

Every instrumental part on this song is innovative for its time and the lyrics and music are simply miraculous.

Hat off to you Paul, you absolutley perfected bass here!

[brandx]

WOW! What a great mix! Thanks. This is a true masterpiece. As I've posted in other places, change the name Prudence to your name and you will hear a profoundly beautiful message to each of us. Come out to play...enjoy the sun and the birds...open your eyes...look around...smile like a little child!

[AndreaGori]

Much better than the 2009 remaster, i hated how the guitar was only in the right channel

5 constipated listeners were looking for "Dear Prune dance".

I actually have a bunch of the Rock Band stems, but I haven't quite listened through all of them. As a result, listening to your remix here, with the more prominent drums in the mix, made me realize just how amazing Paul's drumming was on this song. Blew my mind, especially once it picked up in the last verse before the end. So, thank you! :)

[wireforest]
