The song 'Dear Prudence' by The Beatles is an inviting melody addressed to Prudence Farrow, actress Mia Farrow's sister. Written by John Lennon, the song was inspired during the band's visit to Rishikesh, India, in 1968, where they were on a Transcendental Meditation retreat. Prudence became so engrossed in her meditation practice that she isolated herself from others, prompting Lennon to pen the lyrics as an encouragement for her to 'come out and play.' The key themes of the song revolve around mindfulness, the beauty of the world, and gentle encouragement to engage with life. Poignant moments include the repeated refrain 'Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?' which underlines the song's inviting and soothing nature.
