The album was released on 11 December 1970 in the United States and the United Kingdom.[1] The song was considered controversial upon release,{{citation needed (lead)|date=November 2017}} dealing with anti-religious themes. MeaningThere are three sections in the song: In the first section, John Lennon describes God as "a concept by which we measure our pain". In the second, Lennon lists many idols that he does not believe in, ending by stating that he just believes in himself (individuality) and Yoko (his wife). The idols he lists are: magic, the I Ching, the Bible, tarot, Hitler, Jesus, Kennedy (which he also sang as "Kennedys", referring to both John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy), Buddha, mantra, the Gita, yoga, kings, Elvis, Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) and the Beatles. The final section describes Lennon's change since the break-up of the Beatles. While the Beatles were basically his family throughout the 1960s,[1] he states that he is no longer the "Dreamweaver" or "The Walrus", but just "John". The final line of the song, "The dream is over" represents Lennon's stance that the myth "the Beatles were God" had come to an end. "If there is a God," Lennon explained, "we're all it."[2] PersonnelThe musicians who performed on the original recording were as follows:[3]
