Story behind the song
Written about the murder of John Lennon
Lyrics
THE WALRUS IS DEAD The walrus is dead he's meeting Lucy in the sky, Just a working class hero he didn't have to die. I can still hear that bullet on that winters night but if happiness is a warm gun then i guess it's alright. You can hear him singing in every city all over the world Yes you can hear him singing war is over peace is the word. Sometime in New York City you know it's made of meat, Now i know that there's good people live there but killers walk the street. You can ask Ronald Regan 'cause he knows the score, but you can't ask the egg man 'cause he ain't there anymore. You can hear him singing in every city all over the world Yes you can hear him singing war is over peace is the word. The Walrus is dead i heard it on the news today oh boy, it said some they've got the killer who blew the man away. I can still hear that bullet on that winters night but if happiness is a warm gun then I guess it's alright You can hear him singing in every city all over the world Yes you can hear him singing war is over peace is the word. Yes you can hear him singing on every jukebox in every bar, Yes you can hear him singing it don't matter who or where you are. Solo You can hear him singing in every city all over the world Yes you can hear him singing war is over give peace a chance.

Hi Peter, as a big fan of the Beatles, I am always interested to hear songs like this. You've very cleverly slipped in little references to the Beatles in the arrangement. I think it's a very good song both lyrically and musically. If I was to be picky, I would also say the vocals should be louder in the mix . . . your voice is good enough, so notch it up and maybe add the new mix if you are able ?. Very well done. David

Hi Peter, Re. "The walrus is dead" Sorry but I won't be adding this fine song to my station as planned because with the vocals being so down, without looking at the lyrics you've kindly posted, I wouldn't have hardly known what the song's about. As the stars indicate, I think basically it's a great song about a very talented man, and from what I can hear, your vocals are excellent.. Good one, Carol..

I like your voice and guitar playing.Nice melodie and instruments.The vocals could be a bit louder. The stereo effect at the end sounds good.

Yeah Peter, you must be doing something right for sure. I've been here since 2004, have only had one #1 song and rarely get comments or stars. I guess what I write isn't commercial enough. But this is about you and your song so... I love it, it's long over do! The only thing that bothers me a bit is that your vocals could stand being up more in the mix, I can barely hear the words and they need to shine! But then again I'm told my vocals are often too hot so maybe I'm just losing my hearing, lol! Anyway, long story short,I'm sure you will do well here... keep it up.
