‘Baba O’Riley’ — The Who

A famous Indian spiritual teacher known as Meher Baba, sometimes known as the Mother of the Universe, was an inspiration to Pete Townshend, lead singer and songwriter for The Who. Most of the composition for this work was done by Terry Riley, who was an early adopter of minimalist composing techniques and was responsible for the majority of the composition. He came up with the name “Baba O’Riley” at a moment in time when he merged the two concepts. This song, which was first released as a single in 1971, has now become a timeless classic. The artist described the song as a warning story for children who spent an excessive amount of time on social media throughout the year 2018.
