"Mother Nature's Son" was written mostly by Paul while the guys were at the ashram. "It was inspired by a lecture given by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi while the Beatles were in India. The same lecture inspired Lennon's unreleased song 'Child of Nature', the tune of which he later re-used for 'Jealous Guy'."
This one's short and sweet, and the lyrics are simple. The nature theme and inspiration is very obvious. I think it was probably refreshing for Paul (and John, who contributed "a few words" according to Wikipedia) to write such a straightforward song. There aren't any innuendos or references to drugs or sex, just nature (at least, as far as I can tell). It's not my favorite--I'm definitely into the innuendos and references, being a lyrics person--but it's relaxing and sweet on the ears nonetheless. :)
That's all for today... See you here tomorrow.
