The story behind the song

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" was written and sung by John Lennon and appeared on The Beatles' 1965 album Help! Lennon described it as being from his "Dylan period," reflecting his chameleon-like nature and influence from other artists. He wrote the song at home, aiming to create another track for the film Help! The song features a folkish acoustic guitar figure, acoustic accompaniment, and light percussion, with a flute replacing Dylan's typical harmonica.
