About The Song
"Here We Go Again" serves as a poignant reflection of John Lennon's enduring legacy and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time. As a central figure in the iconic band, The Beatles, Lennon's solo career post-Beatles breakup was marked by a profound evolution in his songwriting and musical expression. Released in 1974 as part of his album "Walls and Bridges," "Here We Go Again" stands as a testament to Lennon's introspective lyricism and his ability to communicate raw, authentic emotions through his music.

Amidst his separation from Yoko Ono and a temporary exile in Los Angeles, Lennon channeled his emotions into his music. "Here We Go Again" is a soul-baring track that explores themes of love, loss, and the cyclical nature of relationships.
Lennon's vocals in the song carry a sense of vulnerability, offering listeners a glimpse into his inner world. The lyrics speak to the complexities of human connections and the inevitability of facing familiar challenges in relationships. Lennon's ability to blend sincerity with musical innovation is evident in the song's arrangement, where he seamlessly merges rock, blues, and soul influences.
Despite the personal turbulence surrounding Lennon during the recording of "Walls and Bridges," "Here We Go Again" showcases his resilience and artistic prowess. The song's title encapsulates a sentiment of recurrence, mirroring life's patterns and the cyclical nature of personal and emotional experiences.
In retrospect, "Here We Go Again" remains a testament to John Lennon's enduring impact on the music industry. It is a reminder of his ability to transcend genres, connect with audiences on a profound level, and articulate the universal struggles of the human condition through his art.

Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Here we go again
Here we go again and again
Wond'rin' how it all began
Wond'rin' will it ever end
Round and round we go
Where it's going, nobody knows
Though I know we've been this place before
Someone keeps on moving the door
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
So I say hello again
And nobody gives a damn
And nobody wants to hold your hand
Ev'ryone is an also-ran
Round and round we go
Where it's going, nobody knows
Though I know we've seen this place before
Someone keeps on moving the door
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh
Round and round we go-oh
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
