Nutopian International Anthem is an instrumental by the English musician and former Beatles guitarist John Lennon from his 1973 album Mind Games.




Background


Nutopia is a conceptual country created and announced by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The song was created as the anthem to the country created by the two. It was not the first time Lennon experimented with the concept of a song consisting of silence, as he had released a song called Two Minutes Silence on the album Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions.




Reception


Authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen said the song might work as a theme of a unified theme or principle of the album. Author Johnny Rogan stated that the silence was appropriate, seeing as Nutopia is a Greek word, meaning nothing.




Declaration of Nutopia


The Mind Games Ultimate Collection box set features an audio track of the declaration of Nutopia, where John Lennon talks about how to become a citizen of Nutopia. Lennon stated "We put the thought out, then we’ll react to whatever the reaction is."
