"I Found Out" is a song by the English musician John Lennon from his 1970 album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
The song expresses Lennon's disillusionment with a world dominated by what he saw as false religion and idols, and warns against being taken in by such beliefs. [1]
Recorded at EMI Studios on 27 September 1970, [2] the instrumentation, style, and production of the song are typical of Lennon's Plastic Ono Band era work. The song features a low, rumbling tremolo guitar, thumping drums, a rolling, minimal bass guitar line, and a scathing vocal delivery. The recording is bare-bones, in stark contrast to the heavy production of Lennon's later albums. It is influenced more heavily by blues music than other songs on Plastic Ono Band.
In a review for Plastic Ono Band, website Classic Rock Review described "I Found Out" as a "dark but fine tune", describing the bass line as the track's highlight. [3] Ultimate Classic Rock critic Nick DeRiso called "I Found Out" the most underrated song on John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. [4]
Stereogum contributors Timothy and Elizabeth Bracy rated it as Lennon's 8th best solo song, saying that "This is the artist at his funniest and most withering." [5]
The musicians who performed on the original recording were as follows: [6]
The song was covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon. [7]
The song has also been recorded by Nathaniel Mayer on I Just Want to Be Held (2004). [8]
The song was featured during the end credits of the sixth episode of season three of The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel. [9]
