The Beatles I’m Only SleepingWatch at the source

Watch the official video for The Beatles’ “I'm Only Sleeping,” directed by Em Cooper.

Beautiful harmonies, experimental recording methods and avant-garde composition combine to create this dreamlike song, evocative of The Beatles’ pioneering approach to the music of Revolver.

Artist and director Em Cooper explored the space between dreaming and wakefulness, working on an animation rostrum on sheets of celluloid. She painted every frame individually in oil-paint, a labourious process which took many months.
