Scorpions' soulful tribute to The Beatles

There are countless bands around the world that, at some point in their careers, wish to pay tribute to the brilliant and revolutionary music of The Beatles. Scorpions are no exception, and their rendition of the late 1960s Beatles song Across the Universe serves as their homage to the most successful band in music history.

Musically, the song aligns well with the Scorpions' style, perhaps best known for their iconic slow rock ballads. There may be specific reasons why the band chose Across the Universe as their tribute: Rudolf Schenker is known for his interest in yoga and meditation, while the origins of the song trace back to a period when John Lennon was deeply engaged in transcendental meditation. This connection is evident in the lyrics, which include a mantra praising a historical figure, the spiritual master Guru Dev.

In this music video, Scorpions perform the iconic Beatles song in a clean and beautiful manner on stage, with Klaus Meine's distinctive vocals shining through.
