A genuine masterpiece demonstrating their genius at simple and stunningly beautiful melody, buildup of instrumentation, drama, and rhythmic layering, to finish with dazzling pure joy celebration. Their production was ALWAYS state of the art, professional and creative: the recording studio was always another musical instrument - similar to a famous painter having said that a title is not superfluous but adds another color.

this was a lennon song. this song is the 2nd song of side 1 of the remarkable "white album." its preceeded by "back in the u. s. s. r." and is followed by "glass onion." its just a wonderful album full of surprises and great music. i think its the best r&r album ever produced. never surpassed or equaled in its sheer excitement, originality, variety and influence. thanks for the video.

The Beatles went to India, to study Transcendental Meditation. That was where this song was written, and it's about Mia Farrow's sister.

Prudence wasn't hanging out with the crowd and stayed in her room meditating. Everyone was trying to be the most spiritual, to impress Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. John and George were really into the scene, Paul and Ringo not so much but they stayed there a couple of months and wrote most of the White Album. The Beatles got pissed off and left India after Mia told them that the Maharishi tried to bang her.

This was inspired by actress Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence Farrow, who became obsessive about meditating while practicing with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Her designated partners on the meditation course, Lennon and George Harrison, attempted to coax Farrow out of her seclusion, which led to Lennon writing the song.

While they were in India studying Transcendental Meditation, Donovan taught John his finger picking style which he used here and on his song Julia. Prudence was Mia Farrow's sister and locked herself in a bungalow and wouldn't come out. Which gave John the idea for this song. His word play is special as well as his delivery.

Paul is the workaholic of the Beatles, and a very hard taskmaster. During this time he had been getting on Ringo one too many times about how he wanted the drumming, and Ringo "went on vacation" and left the group. He would be coaxed into returning by the other three led by George, sending Ringo a telegram and putting flowers on his drum kit. Anyway, because of Ringo's absence, Paul sat in on the drums on this song, although I am now going to refer you to a companion program that analyses the drum track of this song, which starts out as basic, but then ends in a flurry much more reminiscent of Ringo. Would love to see you react to that program as the companion piece to this song.

@@Nelson10Hernandez I'm going to refer you to a program that analyzes your question by isolating the tracks and looking at the documentation in more detail "The Drum Mystery of the Beatles Most Beautiful Song Dear Prudence". I think your question remains open; the drumming at the end is much more reminiscent of Ringo as opposed to what is definitely documented as Paul's more basic drumming at the beginning of the track. Check out that program, see what you think! Going on intuition only and what my ears tell me, it seems to me Paul starts the drum track, but it's Ringo finishing it out.

There! At literally the first drum fill in the song, very near the end of it, suddenly that's a drum fill exactly the way Ringo would do it! And the rest of the entire drum track is like that. Is it Paul? Is it Ringo? Is it, perhaps, a composite track, with Paul starting out, and Ringo finishing off the drum track on the recording?

Great song and I could tell you were enjoying it. But, it puzzles me that in your commentary following it, and others of yours I've checked out, it always sounds as if you're reading a critique from Wikipedia or an AI essay writing app, or something? Of course, there's nothing wrong with reading out something that seems relevant, but if you're quoting, I think it should be acknowledged. I just can't tell what if any of it is your genuine response and what's someone/ something else's ideas. Or perhaps you're speaking from notes from your own research that you've written out in advance, and memorised? It just doesn't come across as quite natural and spontaneous. My apologies if I'm completely barking up the wrong tree here! I'm just curious.
