Originally released on Rubber Soul in the UK, ‘Nowhere Man’ was born of John Lennon’s feelings of isolation in his Weybridge home, where he spent many hours in solitary contemplation away from the mayhem of Beatlemania.

‘Nowhere Man’ was written by Lennon during the late stages of Rubber Soul, when he and Paul McCartney were struggling to come up with enough songs for the album.

‘Nowhere Man’ made its way into The Beatles’ live repertoire, and was one of the songs performed during their final concert at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park on 29 August 1966.

The song also made a brief appearance in the 1968 animation Yellow Submarine, when The Beatles sang it to Jeremy, a creature living in the Sea of Nothing.

The Beatles recorded ‘Nowhere Man’ over two days. The first of these was 21 October 1965, when they taped two takes of the song after a period of rehearsal.
