I've been participating for over 6 months and this is the first time that I've heard anyone mention " Tomorrow never knows". It's one of the few beatles songs that I can remember hearing for the first time and thinking "wow, this is totally different". There was some talk about what got people into looping a while back and I'd have to say that on a sort of subconscious level hearing that song moved me in this direction.
