"Across the Universe" by the Beatles

This Sunday's sublime song is one of my most favorite songs of all time. For a long while, I wanted this played at my funeral. Also, both of my little daughters request this song to be sung as a lullaby - there is something about it that is so...universal. It takes me to another place when I hear it.

The version here is not the overproduced one from "Let it Be," this is the alternate take from the Beatles Anthology - a truer, stripped down version closer to how John Lennon meant it to sound and be heard.

Close your eyes and listen:



Jai Guru Deva, Om....Nothing's gonna change my world...

As a bonus, here are two of my favorite cover versions:

• Rufus Wainwright
• Fiona Apple
