One night in 1991 I was fairly out there, and I lay down on the floor with my big headphones on and listened to this song. I had a musical epiphany such that I was really locked in to Paul's bass. It was almost like I was hearing it for the first time, especially on the fade out chorus. I'd always appreciated his playing, but this time it really hit me how great it truly is.
I love when John's vocals take on that trippy faraway hue on 'cellophane flowers...', it's like OK, Dorothy opened the door from her black and white world and entered the colorful land of Oz. Well, in this song, we start out already in Oz and on the cellophane part we open a door into an even more amazing land - John's imagination! This is psychedelic pop at its best. Alice in Wonderland, woooo!
