To the song’s intention, it mainly speaks about the singer's feelings towards his lover or someone he/she likes and describing that it cannot be contained hence, uncontrollable expressed in the lyrics and title of the song, “Can’t help falling in love”. The song continues the message to describe that they are meant to be for each other and hence take his hand and ride with him to the forever sunsets. Another popular song in the early 70s was "Come Together" and a few other well known songs from a band called The Beatles. It was inspired by a request from Timothy Leary, best known as the “turn on, tune in, drop out” advocate of LSD who had become such a popular pied piper of psychedelics that Richard Nixon labelled him “the most dangerous man in America”. He requested to write a song for his campaign for governor of California against Ronald Reagan, which promptly ended when Leary was sent to prison for possession of marijuana. John Lennon recalled: The thing was created in the studio.
