A punk rocker said The Beatles’ “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” was about the love life of The Beatles’ gay manager, Brian Epstein. John Lennon discussed the song as well.

Flutes in the Mix “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” likely would have been quite captivating had the group just laid it down with Lennon on 12-string acoustic guitar and vocal.

It’s not hard to imagine Epstein, like Robinson, being struck by the words of “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”. However, again, we’ll never know his thoughts on it.
