Music sample

"Mother Nature's Son" is a Lennon/McCartney song, released by The Beatles on The Beatles (The White Album). It was written primarily by Paul McCartney, and was inspired by a lecture given by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi while The Beatles were in India.[1][2] The same lecture inspired Lennon's unreleased song "Child of Nature," the tune of which he later re-used for "Jealous Guy."[1][2] The song was later covered by Harry Nilsson.
