You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

(Lennon/McCartney)

Song background
Rumored to be written to Brian Epstein, who had reportedly made some sort of pass at John while on vacation together, to keep his homosexuality private. The song was heavily influenced by Bob Dylan's Another Side Of Bob Dylan, which featured more personal and depressing tracks.
