Roland (Frankish: Hruodland) (died 15 August 778) was a Frankish military leader under Charlemagne who became one of the principal figures in the literary cycle known as the Matter of France. The historical Roland was military governor of the Breton March, responsible for defending Francia's frontier against the Bretons. His only historical attestation is in Einhard's Vita Karoli Magni, which notes he was part of the Frankish rearguard killed by rebellious Basques in Iberia at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass.
The story of Roland's death at Roncevaux Pass was embellished in later medieval and Renaissance literature. He became the chief paladin of the emperor Charlemagne and a central figure in the legendary material surrounding him, collectively known as the Matter of France. The first and most famous of these epic treatments was the Old French Chanson de Roland of the eleventh century.
Two masterpieces of Italian Renaissance poetry, the Orlando innamorato and Orlando furioso, are even further detached from history than the earlier Chansons. Roland is poetically associated with his sword Durendal, his horse Veillantif, and his oliphant horn.
"Come Together" is a song by the Beatles written by John Lennon but credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song is the opening track on the album Abbey Road and was released as a double A-sided single with "Something", their 21st single in the United Kingdom and 26th in the United States. The song reached the top of the charts in the US and peaked at number four in the UK.
The song's history began when Lennon was inspired by Timothy Leary's campaign for governor of California against Ronald Reagan, which promptly ended when Leary was sent to prison for possession of marijuana:
It has been speculated that each verse refers cryptically to one of the Beatles. It has also been suggested that the song has only a single "pariah-like protagonist" and Lennon was "painting another sardonic self-portrait".
Lennon played rhythm guitar and sang the vocal, McCartney played bass, Harrison played lead guitar, and Starr played drums. It was produced by George Martin and recorded at the end of July 1969 at Abbey Road Studios. In the intro, Lennon says: "shoot me", which is accompanied by his handclaps and McCartney's heavy bass riff. The famous Beatles' "walrus" from "I Am the Walrus" and "Glass Onion" returns in the line "he got walrus gumboot", followed by "he got Ono sideboard". Bluesman Muddy Waters is also mentioned in the song.

(verse)
Look into yourself and see
Do you know who you are? (who you are)
When you're feeling sad and blue
You should know that you are
The sun and the moon to me
I care for you can't you see
You don't need to go so far
And you know who you are (who you are)
Hey people don't look so down
Let me play in your game (in your game)
If you wanna scream and shout
You should not be ashamed
Do what you want to do
Don't let the world get on you
Listen what I have to say
Then you will be okay
Come together!
Now!
Come together...
(verse)
Never too late to try
Don't give up on yourself
What you are searching for
Will be find, you will see
Just take it easily
Let yourself be free
Listen what I have to say
Then you will be okay
(chorus)
Come together!
Everyone are feeling fine
People smiling
Sun is shining on you
Feel the light
Come together!
Feel the rhythm, dance with me
Take my hand, integrity
After rain comes the sun
(break)
(verse)
Ah, it's such a lovely day
So glad we're all here today
Every single one of us
Will be fine, you will see
(chorus)
(breakdown)
If we...
If we...
If we...
If we all come together
Life is gonna be much better
If we all come together
This is gonna last forever
If we all come together
Life is gonna be much better
If we all come together
Life is gonna last forever
