"Nutopian International Anthem" is a recording of 3 seconds of silence by the English musician and former Beatles member John Lennon from his 1973 album Mind Games.
Nutopia is a conceptual country created and announced by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The 3-second long composition consisting of silence 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 ' (1969).
Authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen said the composition 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.
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 weâÂÂll react to whatever the reaction is."
