I Me Mine
"I Me Mine" is a song by the Beatles, written and sung by George Harrison and released on their 1970 album ''Let It Be''. The song originated from the January 1969 ''Get Back''/''Let It Be'' sessions, and its lyrics serve as a comment from Harrison on the fractious situation within the band. The Beatles rehearsed the song at Twickenham Film Studios that same month and formally recorded it a year later. It was the last new track recorded by the band before their split in April 1970. Harrison later entitled his 1980 autobiography I, Me, Mine.
==Composition==
The set of pronouns which forms the song's title is a conventional way of referring to the ego in a Hindu context. For example, the Bhagavad Gita 2:71-72 can be translated as "They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of "I", "me" and "mine" to be united with the Lord. This is the supreme state. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality." Author Jonathan Gould claims that Harrison wrote "I Me Mine" "as a commentary on the selfishness" of his Beatles bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney and considers it poignant that the song was only properly recorded because, during the group's filmed rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios in January 1969, it had provided accompaniment to Lennon and his partner Yoko Ono dancing.〔Jonathan Gould. Can't Buy Me Love, The Beatles, Britain and America. Piatkus. 2007 ISBN 978-0-7499-2988-6 p 598.〕 Gould writes that Harrison was particularly upset at Twickenham "that his fellow Beatles could complain about the amount of time they had to spend learning the arrangement for 'I Me Mine' and then turn around and submit to a laborious rehearsal of a song like 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' which struck George as a paragon of pop inanity."〔Jonathan Gould. Can't Buy Me Love, The Beatles, Britain and America. Piatkus. 2007 ISBN 978-0-7499-2988-6 p 536.〕 Gould contends further that, if "friends like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton heard something worthwhile in material like () 'All Things Must Pass'" then only "sheer egotism could account for the air of complete indifference with which Lennon and McCartney first greeted" both that tune and "I Me Mine".〔Jonathan Gould. Can't Buy Me Love, The Beatles, Britain and America. Piatkus. 2007 ISBN 978-0-7499-2988-6 p 534–535.〕
After receiving his "eternal problem" inspiration when writing the song, Harrison played some chords to a 6/8 time signature. The melody was inspired by the incidental music for a BBC television program, ''Europa – The Titled and the Untitled'', which aired on 7 January 1969. Harrison wrote "I Me Mine" that night and performed it for the other Beatles the following morning.〔Sulpy and Schweighardt 1999, p. 114.〕
