Actually that was written by me, I wrote that, that's what I call craftmanship writing, meaning, you know, I just churned that out. I'm not putting it down, it's just what it is, but I just sat down and wrote it, you know, with no real inspiration based on a dream I'd had. But I thought, I need a track, I wrote it round the string arrangement I'd written for Harry Nilsson's album I'd produced. "Many Rivers To Cross", the Jimmy Cliff number, I'd done this string arrangement for that and it was such a nice melody on the strings. I thought this is a tune, you know, so I just wrote words to the string arrangement, that was "Number Nine Dream", kind of psychedelic dreamy kind of thing." (John Lennon, 1980)
