Songs Mentioning the Beatles: The Seeker

Tweet

What did I get for Paul McCartney’s 84th birthday? Why, a tornado warning at 4:30 this morning!! The worst thing in town was flash flooding, because we had over three inches of rain in less than an hour. No injuries that I’ve heard of, though, thank God. So let’s turn the radio on and listen to a song that mentions the Beatles, and hopefully you were waiting for this one. The Seeker - The Who Probably the only surprise in my including a Who song is that it isn’t a top ten song. That’s the bad thing about a top ten list: there’s only room for ten. To me, a personal opinion, this is a good companion song to “Behind Blue Eyes.” From “When I smile tell me some bad news” to this song’s “Look at my face, ain’t this a smile,” it’s not just the word smile that link the two songs it’s the attitude. “Behind Blue Eyes” is the internal struggle, “The Seeker” is the obvious external one. Everyone can see what’s going on; hence, the chorus, ”They call me the seeker.” You know, there’s two members of The Who left: singer and guitarist. There’s two Beatles left: drummer and bassist. Just sayin… The Seeker Written by Pete Townshend Recorded by The Who Released as a single, 1970 BEATLE REFERENCE LYRICS: I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles
