"Tomorrow Never Knows" is the final track of the Beatles' 1966 studio album Revolver but the first to be recorded. Credited as a Lennon–McCartney song, it was written primarily by John Lennon.
The song has a vocal put through a Leslie speaker cabinet (which was normally used as a loudspeaker for a Hammond organ). Tape loops prepared by the Beatles were mixed in and out of the Indian-inspired modal backing underpinned by Ringo Starr's constant but non-standard drum pattern.
It is considered one of the greatest songs of its time, with Pitchfork Media placing it at number 19 on its list of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s" and Rolling Stone Magazine placing it at number 18 on its list of the 100 greatest Beatles songs.
John Lennon wrote the song in January 1966, with lyrics adapted from the book The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead by Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and Ralph Metzner, which was in turn adapted from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Although Peter Brown believed that Lennon's source for the lyrics was the Tibetan Book of the Dead itself, which, he said, Lennon had read whilst consuming LSD,George Harrison later stated that the idea for the lyrics came from Leary, Alpert, and Metzner's book;Paul McCartney confirmed this, stating that when he and Lennon visited the newly opened Indica bookshop, Lennon had been looking for a copy of The Portable Nietzsche and found a copy of The Psychedelic Experience that contained the lines: "Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, float downstream".
Tomorrow Never Knows is a compilation album of songs by the English rock group The Beatles. Released through the iTunes Store, the compilation is intended to highlight the band's influence on the history of rock music, and includes several tributes from contemporary rock acts praising the band.
Released on 24 July 2012 as an iTunes Store exclusive in partnership with EMI Records, The Beatles' own Apple Corps and with approval from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as well as the Board of Directors representing the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison. The album intends to bring together The Beatles' most influential rock songs. It is named after the Revolver track "Tomorrow Never Knows", which is featured on the compilation.
Quotes from contemporary rock musicians accompanied the release. Ex-Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl wrote, "If it weren't for the Beatles I would not be a musician. It's as simple as that." Citing the gritty distorted guitar, rolling bass line, Ringo's drum fills and the groove of the song "Hey Bulldog", Grohl describes it as "a quintessential Beatles rocker ... raw and real."
"Tomorrow Never Knows" is the sixth single released by Mr. Children on November 10, 1994. The single sold 2.766 million copies and is the seventh highest-selling single in Japan in the Oricon history.
"Tomorrow Never Knows" was Mr. Children's second No. 1 single on the Oricon Japanese charts and sold 2,766,290 copies during its run on the chart. The title track was used as the theme song to the Japanese drama Wakamono no Subete (若者のすべて) and was also included in the Mr. Children live album 1/42 released on September 8, 1999, and also Mr. Children 1992–1995, released on July 11, 2001. "Tomorrow Never Knows" was also included on Mr. Children's sixth album, Bolero, released on March 5, 1997, as a remix. While the track was noted as a remix, the only thing remixed was drummer Hideya Suzuki re-recording his drumming. On the March 16, 2007 episode of the Japanese music TV show Music Station, Mr. Children also mentioned the song was written while the group was on their Innocent World Tour. The b-side "Love Connection (ラヴ コネクション)" was included in Mr. Children's fourth album, Atomic Heart, released on September 1, 1994.

John, Paul, George H. and George M. tell the story. From Beatles Anthology DVD. Some audio is distorted, for I had to remove the original track because of copyright claims. I'm sorry for that.

Stream my new EP 'Tamale' now - https://smarturl.it/da-tamale I was able to take some time and do some alone things. In that time I found myself in a museum that was holding a Bruce Connor exhibition. He used this Beatles song for one of his short films and I was hooked to both the song and Bruce's work. Also can't believe I'm going to do shows in Europe!!

Phil Collins did a cover version of The Beatles' song on his 1981 album Face Value. The song included instruments and vocals playing in reverse while Collins provided multi-layered background vocals and sparse drumming. After the song ends, Collins can be heard almost silently singing "Over the Rainbow".

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all, love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not dying, it is not dying
It is not dying, it is not dying
It is not dying
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
It is shining, it is shining
