"Nowhere Man" is a song by the Beatles, from the British version of their album ''Rubber Soul''. The song was written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney). Recorded on 21 and 22 October 1965, "Nowhere Man" is one of the first Beatles songs to be entirely unrelated to romance or love, and marks a notable instance of Lennon's philosophically oriented songwriting. It was released as a single (although not in the United Kingdom) on 21 February 1966, and reached number 1 in Australia and Canada and number 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Similar to what happened a year earlier ("Eight Days a Week" and "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" were on ''Beatles for Sale'' but not on ''Beatles '65''), "Nowhere Man" and "What Goes On" were not on the U.S. version of ''Rubber Soul'' (released in December around the same time as the British version), but were back-to-back on a subsequent single and later (in June) on an album (''Yesterday and Today''). Lennon, McCartney, and George Harrison sing the song in three-part harmony. The song appears in the film ''Yellow Submarine'', where the Beatles sing it about the character Jeremy Hillary Boob after meeting him in the "nowhere land". George and John play identical "sonic blue" Fender Stratocasters—John plays in the verses and George on the solo.〔(Robert Fontenot. Nowhere Man.

He wrote it after racking his brain in desperation for five hours, trying to come up with another song for ''Rubber Soul''. Lennon told ''Playboy'' magazine: McCartney said of the song: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nowhere Man (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
