General information

Written by: John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Across the Universe is a song recorded by the Beatles. It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song first appeared on the various artists' charity compilation album No One's Gonna Change Our World in December 1969, and later, in different form, on Let It Be, the group's final released album.

Evanescence covered the song during their Summer 2018 Synthesis Live tour. The song was most likely added to the setlist in tribute to Amy Lee's late brother, Robby Lee, as he was a huge fan of the Beatles and passed away at the beginning of 2018. Watch the band's performance of the song here.

The band recorded a studio version while they had an orchestra assembled for The Chain at Ocean Way Nashville in late 2019.[1] This version was released on the bonus CD A Live Session From Rock Falcon Studio from the band's fifth album, The Bitter Truth.

The cover song was digitally released to purchase and stream on December 17, 2021, as it was only made available on a bonus CD of the deluxe box set of The Bitter Truth.

Lyrics

Evanescence Version

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
