George wrote such uplifting music!! How can you not feel something spiritual listening to this (no matter what your beliefs might be). He didn't care who/what you followed, just that you aspired to be a good person and loved your fellow humans, and the world as a whole. RIP George.
Amen!
George was a kind soul..
Jeez, this song is about wanting to be dead, bro
@@thoru4367No its about wanting to connect to Christ/God
I took it as wanting to be with god but the only way to really be with him is to die. This song has always made me sad but I love it.
I love all George Harrison songs. He is the best Beatles, by far!!!!!!!!!!
George evolved as a songwriter and by the end of the Beatles he was on par with John and Paul. Here comes the sun. That was his too.
He also wrote Something, which is a favorite of mine.
I Me Mine, Taxman, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
@@rayj1011 love this. i didn't realize George wrote it.
George was always a song writer just that Paul and John thought themselves the leaders, so
He didn't write nearly as much as Paul and John, but he had a few good ones.
While my guitar gently weeps is a George song. He wrote so many good Beatles tracks, and his is the best solo career in my opinion.
Well, yes and no. We will never know what John might have done. We had a taster on 9 October 1980, his 40th birthday. I bought it and was on cloud 9. He was back; I was ecstatic. Exactly 2 months later (4 days after my birthday) he was murdered. So up to a point yes, but we will never truly know. Breaks my heart. Oh and never, ever mention the murdering bastard's name. That's what he wanted, to have his name linked to John's forever. He's the assassin, the murdering bastard or the killer. Ok, so have a great weekend, wherever you are. x love, peace and music from East Coast of England.
Absolutely!
Love George Harrison but John Lennon Double Fantasy is pretty untouchable in the post-Beatles catalogs. Paul McCartney and Wings had quite a nice career. Linda was a big boost to Paul. But John Lennon's Imagine is the most important song post-Beatles.
@@Greg-io1ip all things must pass is my favorite post Beatles record. I also love George Harrison self titled, living in the material world, brainwashed, etc..
Then you get into the Wilburys records.
Not knocking John. Imagine is definitely a classic song. Working class hero, instant karma, and also etc... Still for me team George
I would argue for Harrison's ""All Things Must Pass" album as the best post-Beatle album by any of the group.
very difficult to disagree on that
To me, Ringo’s best solo song was Photograph, which was written by George.
An amazing gal broke up with me when this song broke out. We were only teens but she was 2 years older than me. A big deal when you're 14....15. She sent me a wonderful letter & of course- you guessed it, her photograph. Her name was Katherine......I called her Katie. Such a wonderful gesture- she said she would never let anyone else call her 'Katie' for the rest of her life. What a doll she was. I hope the years have been kind to her. And to you !
This was on the radio a lot in my high school years. Then it was just a pop song that I liked. Now I hear it more as a cry to God, Krishna, or otherwise. I hear it as a religious release. Thanks for doing this.
Exactly.
He’s got two of my top five 🍻Then he just kept doing it 😎
George was the youngest of the Beatles. He was only 26 when they broke up. Incredible.
For a real beautiful rendition of this song take a listen at the concert tribute to George Harrison. Billy Preston plays keys and does the lead vocals on this while the other great musicians on stage pick up the background vocals. Talk about taking you to church. As you may know, Billy Preston played keyboards on a lot of their songs.
George Harrison also formed a group ,The Traveling Wilburys in 1988, 5 of the biggest singer/ songwriters George Harrison, Jeff Lynne of ELO, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, & Bob Dylan , they recorded 2 albums. "Handle with care" RIP George Harrison, Roy & Tom Petty. LEGENDS , GREATNESS🤟
George Harrison's songs reflect so much compassion for humanity. I just love this man and artist. Also check out "Bangladesh", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Isn't it a Pity". Thanks so much guys for posting this song!🍂
And check out All Things Must PASS.
This was, by far, the best triple album ever released. George had so much great music saved up from not being able to get it all out with the Beatles that only a few months after the break up, he had three albums of great material, and put it all out at once.
"Isn't it a pity" always makes me emotional.
He wrote it. George was a great songwriter.
George had volumes of songs that he had written when he was in the Beatles. George was an amazing player and loved playing slide guitar. He was heavily involved in Indian culture and music. Hari Krishna!
Yes, Hari, Hari Krishna! I think I hear backup vocals referencing Shiva too.
All Those Years Ago still gets me
Please check out his band, The Traveling Willberries. He's joined by some extremely talented friends! "End of the Line" is a good song to start
you have to do "All Those Years Ago" written for John after he passed away. Absolutely the best requiem for his friend.
George was such a sweet soul and great musician, gone too soon.
George became a devout believer in Hare Krishna. He wrote and recorded this and many other songs proclaiming his faith and his belief in seeking a better life here on Earth. Check out Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth). It compliments this song quite nicely. :u)
Literally praising God in this song and chanting for universal love. Incredible song.
George's All Things Must Pass is arguably the best of the all the Beatles solo albums. Ringo plays great drums on this song. George's slide guitar playing is instantly recognizable. Such a signature sound. He came up with this song after jamming with Billy Preston during a 1969 tour with Delaney and Bonnie when they were talking about great gospel music. George and Billy were very spiritual. Clapton played with them on that tour also.
Okay you got me. I’m subscribing. I think what you’re referring to was a string instrument from India called a sitar which George learned to play and also that was a Hindu chant. “Harrison’s lyrical attempt to bridge a divide between Christianity and Hinduism was one meaning of the song.” George just wanted everyone to get along and live in peace☮️
Welcome aboard, these two do some great reactions!
@@kathybwell Yup I’ve been watching their reactions, giving them thumbs up and using the comment section for awhile. But I’ve been holding back to subscribe… until now
There's no sitar in this song, it's George playing slide guitar. He does use sitar in some of his songs, though 🙂
@@Alewifes_Husband 👍
Brian Jones (Stones) played sitar
And George's best buddy in the Beatles Ringo is manning the drums on this one!
"Here Comes the Sun" is one of his Beatles tunes that is a must listen.
"What is Life", "Give Me Love, Give Me Peace on Earth" are two more great hits by this wonderful songwriter/singer.
George usually got to contribute one or two songs per Beatles album, and they were all great. Some of the songs on All Things Must Pass were ones he had written as a Beatle, but they had not made it to a Beatles album. (EDIT: Think For Yourself; If I Needed Someone; Taxman; I Want To Tell You; Within You, Without You; Blue Jay Way; The Inner Light; Only A Northern Song; Old Brown Shoe; While My Guitar Gently Weeps; Piggies; Long, Long, Long; I Me Mine; For You Blue; Something; Here Comes The Sun...Beatles songs written and sung by George...probably some more.)
George wrote some of the most beautiful songs
True story: for a while I used to have severe back pains, and one day I happened to start listening to all things must pass (the album) and when that song came on, my back pain went away while I was completely entranced by the song
George also did one or two of the background harmony vocals. The sonics, and the vibe of the record was produced by my old friend Phil Spector.
One of the , if not he greatest post-Beatles albums, which also include McCartney's "Bend on the Run" and Lennon's "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band".
He had so many great songs stashed from his Beatle years, the producer Phil Spector was amazed when he showed him the songs. They decided to do the All Things Must Pass album to use some of them. George brought in Ringo, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton and other musician friends to make the album. George was the spiritual one in the band, Paul was the love song pop writer, John the deep thinking politician, and Ringo the happy go lucky one.
George was a Hare Krshna buddhist. George's first solo was 3 albums in a box. It's awesome and he wrote all of it.
Hare Krishna hare rama
Meaning glory to lord Krishna and glory Lord rama
Haven't heard this in a good minute, I always forget what a cool song it is, especially the guitar work. Sweet choice for a Friday morning (pun intended) - peace and love ☮
George was a follower of Paramhansa Yogananda. This song is a version of a meditation chat where the chatter is “telling” God to reveal him/herself.
George wrote his music and had a brilliant career as a solo artist.
The background vocals at the end are part of a Vedic chant. He got really into spirituality after his visit to India and began incorporating transcendental meditation and Vedic chants and mantras into his everyday life and music. Eventually going on to co-produce the album "Chants of India" with Ravi Shankar.
The Beatles were influenced and partook in Indian spirituality. George was singing Hare (ha-ray) which means praise, and he gave praise to Hindu gods, gurus and beliefs. Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, Vishnu etc.
He wrote most if not all of these songs when he was still on the Beatles. A couple songs were written by other people. He wrote several great Beatle songs too.
Listen to his song..run of the mill..shines
Interesting fact, following the Beatles break up, George Harrison was the first Beatle to produce a solo album All Things Must Pass
George had a long court case, when the writers of “ He’s so fine “ by the Chiffons claimed My sweet Lord was too close to their song, he settled up.
For “subconscious plagiarism.” What a joke. Regardless, the whole tone of My Sweet Lord is light years away from He’s So Fine. He was attempting to write a song along the lines of “Oh Happy Day.”
@@hmm3484 the chord progressions the exact same moods allot dif glad he settled .. glad we got both
@@hmm3484 Now I’m hearing a mash up with MSL and OHD in my head. 🤍
He didn't settle in the US, he lost. He settled in the UK after the the US loss.
Always on the playlist!
stuck inside a cloud from his last album also STRAIGHT fire.
Yes he wrote my sweet lord
Airplay Beats you are missing out on that Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter Tobacco Road Live Video it's every thing you both like Jazz Funk Rock Scatting yes Scatting you will both Love these Brother and Johnny Winter is one of the greatest Blues Guitar players ever thanks
He had so much music that his first solo music was a triple album 😳
George Harrison R.I.P. was a very talented artist with a beautiful soul..
Happy Birthday, Baby George. 25/02/1943
The quiet, dark and mysterious Beatle.
Or was he?
At one of The Beatles' first recording sessions with George Martin, they were asked by George Martin " Is there anything you don't like?" and quick as a flash George Harrison said
"Well for one thing I don't like your tie!"
George also wrote one the Beatles best ballad "something" which he wrote for then wife Patty Boyd, who eventually became Eric Clapton's wife and muse.
Harrison began writing “My Sweet Lord” in December 1969, when he, along with Billy Preston and Eric Clapton were in Copenhagen, Denmark playing with Delaney & Bonnie’s band. It was in the middle of a productive and spiritual period that saw George producing Preston’s “That’s the Way God Planned It” and the “Hare Krishna” mantra of London’s Radha Krishna Temple, as well as writing songs with a spiritual theme for his own planned solo record.
George! Best Beatle!
Harrison was sued by those who had the rights to the Chiffons song He’s So Fine for copyright issues. They won. It’s interesting to play both songs and hear the similarities. I don’t think George realized it and had no problem with the decision. He’s the best Beatle
He had no problem because he just bought the rights to He's so fine.
And George wrote This Song as a response to all of it😂
I enjoy ya'll so much. 😊
how can u not like it, typical George song catchy as . I think this is gospel rock
George Harrison put out song great music. May I suggest a reaction of my favorite by him "Bangladesh."
My favorite Beatle.
Yes, George wrote all of this. Because George was so open and would allow anyone with talent play with him (and because who would turn down a Beatles, particularly at that time when they were still together or just broke up publicly?), the following names you have heard performed on this recording: (a very young) Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton (of course), Pete Ham and Joey Molland (Badfinger), Bobby Whitlock (Derek & the Dominoes), Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), Ringo (of course), and Alan White (Yes). I would suggest next off All Things Must Pass any of the following: "Hear Me Lord", "Awaiting on You All", "Beware of Darkness", or "Isn't It a Pity."
He’s an underrated songwriter and
About my sweet lord there’s a lot of things about this song specifically you need guys to do some researchers there’s a lot of fun facts
so glad your are reacting to some of George Harrison's music!!!! It is definitely one of my all time favorite spiritual songs, & in this list is also, Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, and Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon 🙏❤🙏💛🙏 🙏❤🙏💛🙏 The generation back in the 70's (referred to as the Hippie generation) were based on love, peace, & spirituality, & if you stay on this path, you will hear a lot of songs that refer to many forms of spirituality!!!
George was involved in Eastern Mysticism, and Hinduism from his days as a Beatle. He was raised in a Christian family, but was always searching, as you hear in the lyrics of this song, where he say's (to Christ) "I really want to know you Lord, but it takes so long." Race car driver Emerson Fittipaldi, and longtime best friend Eric Clapton, are both Christians, and Clapton had been counseling George and telling him that Christ said there is only one way. "No man comes to the father except through me." When George was dying in the hospital with lung cancer, I guess everything got clear for him, and he and Eric Clapton prayed the sinner's prayer on his death bed. George admitted, that deep in his heart all of these years, he knew Christ was the truth.
What a wonderful story. I saw Eric Clapton on a video telling this story and it made him cry.
Thanks guys
.my fav album think you might of heard thr cherrells hes so fine
My favorite George song was Cracker Box Palace. It also has a cool video.
For the this album George Harrison asked Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock to to put together a band. They brought Carl Radle on bass, and Jim Gordon on drums. All were members of some-sort with Delaney an Bonnie Bramlett including George. When traveling for a European tour, Clapton and Harrison played guitar for them. The song My Sweet Lord, has only two singers on it. Harrison on vocals, and Whitlock as backup harmony. No one better. It is during the recording of this album not only did Clapton become obsessed with George's wife Patty Boyd, the band Derick and the Dominos was formed consisting of Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordon
George was the Spiritual Beatle……studied under great Indian Buddhist’s….very new age.
As most of you know Billy Preston was called "the 5th Beatle" if you haven't seen the dedication to George Harrison look for Billy doing "My Sweet Lord" with Eric Clapton, George's son Dhani, Jeff Lynne to name a few...Billy Kills it with an over the top joyous performance both vocally & on the keyboards! Made George smile from up above I'm sure. Love your reactions guy's, you really listen to every note.
Yep, George wrote ALL of this. Pete Hamm from Bad Finger playing along with George on the acoustic..Check out "Baby Blue" from Bad Finger! AND, George got sued over this song, oops!
Had to pay 10 Mill I think..? Supposedly sounded too close to "He's so Fine" which I still don't get..?? Love that song too though, The Shirelles I think.
John was the peace freak. George was the spiritual freak. Paul was the control freak🤭
You may be thinking of "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers -- which inspired this song.
I believe I read somewhere that George was influenced to write this song after hearing “Oh Happy Day” by The Edwin Hawkins Singers, which was a huge gospel song back in the 1960’s.
Try " Give me Love " a huge hit for George :)
George Harrison organised the Bangladesh concert in 1971 , beautiful.
Georges slide playing was like no other. He sounded more Eastern in his slide than Blues or Country. Like a good Beatle....there he goes creating something completely unique! Amazing band and amazing watching them keep growing and growing while everyone else followed behind in not only music and art but culture itself. Lucky they were all basically decent people because the world would have followed them off a cliff.😉😎
"Stuck inside a cloud" SLid e Guitar👌
As an adult I remember the Beatles as a child
George always sang backup in the beattles. He always had different take on music. But it was always good. He was into different types of religion
Man are you guys really becoming educated lol I’m loving it
Simply put, man. Listen to "Isn't It A Pity?". George wrote it back in 1966 during the Revolver album period.
George remade this tune in 2000. It's called My Sweet Lord 2000. It was released on the 30th anniversary of All Things Must Pass. Georgia's first solo album. ✌️
What a beautiful human being, to be a devout Christian, and to take everything Eastern religion has to offer, and to just fold it in, to what is already known, with no dispute, or need to debate. It's love. There isn't any other thing any religion, doctrine, or belief has to offer, but love. Everything would be better, with more love, and less hate, regardless of who deserves which or the other.
Thanks for playing that you made me cry every time I hear Rest in Peace George Harrison 1969's being my first Hari Krishna they were all over California from the north to the South California
George had quite a number of songs that he wrote as a bandmate in The Beatles, that he submitted for a single or album. This track brought a lawsuit against him by The writer of The Shirrells song: He's So Fine. He later did a track about that lawsuit called THIS SONG. might check it out sometime. It's a satire of the lawsuit brought against him for MY SWEET LORD.
Those guitar strums between the lead that Harrison plays are brilliant. Harrison had a guitar style that would be Very noticeable to anyone. Thank you both.
Director Martin Scorsese made a documentary about George, titled Living in the Material World.
You should check it out. It gives great insight into George.
Btw, that’s Ringo playing drums on My Sweet Lord…
Great call on the John backup vox
George went to India along with the other Beatles and studied TM with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He also learned to play the sitar with Ravi Shankar in India and later in London he met Swami Prabhupada the founder of the global Hare Krishna Movement. Thus, he was exposed to eastern religions including Hindi in his search for a spiritual life. What you heard was the Hindi language and a mantra evoking different names or avatars of some of the Hindi gods. Some of these names in the Sanskrit language, are Hare, Krishna and Rama. The lyrics mention the following: ”Guru Brahma” - the Lord of Creation, “Guru Vishnu” - the Lord who is called organizer, “Guru Devo Maheshwarah” refers to Lord the destroyer; “Tasmai Shree Guruve Namah” means we bow to the Guru; “Guru Sakshat Parabrahma” is the supreme god or almighty. These meaning and translations are what I’ve read but I’m not an expert so translations could have other meanings. George's song reflects his deep spiritual journey and his openness to enlightenment from other philosophies.
As producers and musicians you HAVE to watch the Get Back documentary by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. He delved into 60 hours of rushes filmed in the studio back in 1969 when the Beatles composed and recorded songs for the Let It Be, movie which came out after they broke up. The movie left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth, but the more complete sessions show a much more complex situation where friends who've been playing together for fifteen years have matured and grown as musicians and individuals. First half shows tensions and Paul directing pushing and second portion more collective and together with Billy Preston joining the four. Amazing six part documentary on Disney or down loadable. George's feeling left out is part of it and he brings in Billy which dissolves the tension to a great degree. It is a must see for music lovers and musicians and all the more so if you appreciate the Beatles.
The Beatles were only together from 1956 to 1970. George was only 14 or 15! Paul was a bit older. They were all teens when they started. They were only HUGELY POPULAR from very late 1963 to 1970. Then they broke up. In the beginning, John and Paul were the only songwriters. They often helped George write his songs, till George could write completely on his own. He was finally able to write on his own after 1967. But by this time John and Paul’s songs were becoming more sophisticated. But they recognized that he was getting very good. After Abbey Road album, John and Paul decided if they were to do another album together, they would give George 4 songs and John and Paul would each get 4 songs, too. And Ringo would get 2 songs. You see, Ringo was songwriting by then, too! During the Get Back sessions (which crested the Let it Be album, George and John discussed George creating a solo album because he had so many songs in his inventory, with nowhere album to put them on. John suggested they should both do that, too. Paul didn’t hear that conversation. They should have done it. The bigger problem was the contract they had all signed with their new manager, Alan Klein, which Paul didn’t trust…and he wanted the Beatles to get out of that contract. The other 3 disagreed. So Paul left the Beatles, primarily, so the contract would be null and void! They were all pissed off at Paul. They all sued him. But Paul was right, in the end…and they all eventually realized it. Klein was ripping them off! Paul sued Klein. Snd literally saved the Beatles fortunes snd legacy!
In the 6-7 years at the Beatles peak, they charted 21 number #1 songs… unheard of, even today. 34 more songs charted in the Top 10. And 71 more songs charted in the Top 40, in radio rotation! Every album hit #1. That’s an insane record. Paul’s solo song, Yesterday, is in the Guinness book of records as having the most covers of all time. 2200+ artists have covered that song! They have all gone Diamond. They still outsell every band to this day.
It wasn't until this album that I heard his unusual slide guitar style, which used more major notes than the usual blues based slide guitar style of most rock players. He wrote most of his lyrics, and here shows his ongoing interest in forms of Hinduism, introduced to him by his sitar teacher Ravi Shankar. He went from being into Transcendental Meditation to being involved in the Hare Krishna movement as reflected in the chant like background vocals.
George is my favorite slide guitar player His style was so original and unique and almost sounds like a Hawaiian slide.
I literally wore out this album!
I guess next one from this album should be "Isn't it a pity?" What a great tune
Yeah man, George had it! He was such a unique talent, all of the Beatles were unique talents. The way they grew up together was a true miracle. Yes, they had their differences but I truly believe that they loved each other. John got fed up with the business of it all, Paul was a "pop" king and really into the business of it, Ringo was the serious beat man, ask a drummer to play some of his stuff, and George was the spiritual soul. 45 years since I started listening to music and they are still my all time faves! You guys rock, I've really enjoyed following you!
The background singers are chanting/singing “Hare Krishna, Dahlai Lama, Vishnu Vishnu, Hare Rama…praising the Hindu God Krishna but also other faith based beliefs that all lead to one amazing Greater Power
Thanks for this. I love George. I remember this song when it came out it was heaven- I was a kid.
There aren't many songs that make you think, oh I know this. George Harrison was full of melody. It sounds brand new to everyone.
I'm not in the least bit religious, but this is an amazing song.
Oh yeah, he wrote ALL of THIS. He was so special. This song always resonated with me. It's a mantra in many respects. But in terms of BEATLES, where they ended was a natural progression for 4 talented world famous YOUNG guys that were mainly pop stars in their day. But of course they were each evolving musically & personally which always makes for contention. Honestly, I think that added to their individual creativity. They certainly never bored me as Beatles or solo artists.
he did write music and lyrics
❤️❤️❤️
More George Harrison pls
George did a lot of great songs or interesting songs with the Beatles too: While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, Here Comes the Sun, Taxman, Love You Too, Within You Without You etc. But he was very limited by the others, so All Things Must Pass was just an explosion of things held back, the breakout of a major talent. I always liked Beware of Darkness, and I particularly like this version where Sheryl Crow sings it solo while only playing piano at her home/studio(?). It's very stripped down nice version: th-cam.com/video/nSTxONSiZDU/w-d-xo.html
