The story behind the song

This song finds its roots in a lecture given by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi during the Beatles' time in India, an experience that also inspired John Lennon's "Child of Nature." Paul McCartney, who primarily wrote the song, also drew inspiration from Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy," a song he remembered from his childhood. He penned the lyrics while visiting his father in Liverpool. The song itself, appearing on the 1968 double album The Beatles, evokes a sense of connection to the natural world.
