From George's 'I Me Mine' book, he described how he was staying with Dylan at his home and said he had a song, could Dylan help him finish it ... Bob scribbled down the following lyrics on a piece of paper and handed them to George ... "All I have is yours All you see is mine And I'm glad to hold you in my arms I'd have you anytime"
George Harrison was a musicians, musician, of all the Beatles it was George who had people like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Joe Brown, John Fogarty, Taj Mahal, Steve Windwood, all played with him and all became friends of his too, especially Joe Brown and Jeff Lynne as the 3 used to meet regularly to play the Ukulele. The quiet Beatle, my favourite Beatle RIP George
George was so talented. I love this song. Co-written by Bob Dylan. This whole album is a treat. Apparently he went to Phil Spector in 1968 with hundreds of songs he'd written each one better than the last. Good reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Scott. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
"I'd Have You Anytime" is a song written by George Harrison and Bob Dylan, released in 1970 as the opening track of Harrison's first post-Beatles solo album, All Things Must Pass. The pair wrote the song at Dylan's home in Bearsville, near Woodstock in upstate New York, in November 1968. Its creation occurred during a period when Harrison had outgrown his role in the Beatles and Dylan had withdrawn from the pressures of fame to raise a family. "I'd Have You Anytime" is recognised as a statement of friendship between the two musicians, whose meetings from 1964 onwards resulted in changes in musical direction for both Dylan and the Beatles. The song reflects the environment in which it was written, as Harrison's verses urge the shy and elusive Dylan to let down his guard, and the Dylan-composed choruses respond with a message of welcome.
This album is so rich with George's talent, which was suppressed by Lennon/McCartney. My personal favorite on the album is The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll).
Beautiful song. Stunning album, which includes My Sweet Lord, Isn’t It a Pity, the title song, and the exquisite Beware of Darkness. If you haven’t yet watched the memorial concert for Harrison, it’s a must. Really!! I was fortunate to attend Harrison’s concert for Bangladesh. Musicians included Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Ravi Shankar, Billy Preston and the amazing -I love him so much!!-Leon Russell. Last saw him perform in a small dinner club shortly before he died. He sang what seemed to be every song he ever wrote. I was 6 feet away with perfect view of the piano keys. RIP Leon, and RIP George.
Pretty sure the chords came from George (lots of major sevenths and other unusual-sounding ones) and at least some of the lyrics are Dylan’s. George talked about a conversation with Dylan from around this time where George asked him, “How do you write those lyrics?” and Dylan came back with, “How do you come up with those chords?”
It’s my understanding that Dylan already had the chorus, and when George was visiting him in Woodstock, he played it for George, and George came up with the verses, with Dylan suggesting some of the verse lyrics. Other stories have it as a completely spontaneous composition, with George playing the verse and supplying the verse lyric, and then Dylan singing the chorus lyric over George’s chords. It sounds like a love song, but it’s actually a song about friendship, specifically Dylan’s and Harrison’s.
Dylan kept the lyrics simple as this was his style around his Nashville Skyline (Lay Lady Lay) period. I believe his contribution was the "All I have is yours ..." according to Harrison.
Great song by a great musician. George always worked well with others. He knew and got along so well with other great talent but you can see it "Get Back" he had his limits. Love George.
One of my favorite songs. For a little background, here’s a quote from George’s widow, Olivia: “I mean, George… “I’d Have You Anytime,” the song that George and Bob wrote together. “Let me in here, I know I’ve been here, let me into your heart.” He was talking directly to Bob because he’d seen Bob, and then he’d seen Bob another time and he didn’t seem as open. And so, that was his way of saying, “Let me in here. Let me into your heart.” And he was very unabashed, and romantic about it, in a sense. You know, I found that he had these love relationships with his friends. He loved them.” I believe Bob wrote the lyrics that began with “All I have is yours…” and then back to George in the next verse. I really enjoy your reactions, Hari. You’re very sincere and honest.
I first heard that Dylan wrote the lyrics and George wrote music around it (which never rang true to me). Later I heard it was a chord progression Dylan brought to George to write lyrics for (more likely).. either way, during that time they collaborated a lot together, as did George and Dylan’s band, and somehow this was the only thing that came out until the late 1980s, when they formed their own group together. Who cares, right? It’s a really beautiful song, and might be my favorite solo beatle track ever.
My guess is that George and Dylan wrote it in the same manner they wrote Traveling Wilburys songs years later. Music down then figure out lyrics sitting around kitchen table.
Adding to the list of a great musicians on this song. Alan white on drums who would later join YES. Gary Booker from Poco Haram and Gary wright from spooky tooth.
I believe Harrison wrote the verses and Dylan the chorus. They added Clapton on lead for the album version . Do yourself a favor and listen to the stripped down demo by George and Bob on Harrison's Early Takes Volume One. Better than the production version pin my opinion.
It’s hard to hear too much of Dylan’s input in this song. But Harrison’s wife said he wrote it to Dylan when he was pulling away from their friendship.
This has a bit of the feel lyrically of Lay Lady Lay so I would guess it was Dylan writing the lyrics DYLAN also wrote if Not For You on All Thinngs .Must Pass. Bob was writing simpler lyrics at this rime. He would return to writing longer songs such as lHurricane later in the Decade . You are riight Harri Dylan songs can encompass an entire side of a vinyl album disc at times. Take Murder Most Foul that has its own disc on his latest album
That’s me! Except that I am the real Scott Walker and the the one that you know, uses my name. Maybe I should demand royalties? Lol I am a musician too.
@@The5thGen I read a biography of Scott a bunch of years ago that claimed that he was actually from Hamilton Ontario, near where I live in Toronto. Or maybe not. He was an enigma, so… maybe you are him. if so… nice work influencing everyone from Bowie to Radiohead. And me!

I agree 100%
I know that Paul was the most comprehensive musician. But, George just so damn good. What else is there to say?
@@The5thGen George was an average guitarist at best. John and Paul performed many of the guitar solos from 1965 onwards within The Beatles!
@@davidrowe7967 He was average technically, but on a musical level, he was sublime.
It's spelled, "Lynne".
@@Cosmo-Kramer typing error sorry

Awesome background info!
It sounds more like a song addressing itself to a potential lover. 'Let me into your arms' for instance.
Words can’t describe where this song never failes to transport me. Just beautiful.
(And from hands down the greatest solo beatle album!) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This album is so rich with George's talent, which was suppressed by Lennon/McCartney. My personal favorite on the album is The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll).
Mine as well.
LOVE the Ballad of Sir FC.💘
Mine's Art of dying ❤️
George co-wrote this with Bob Dylan. great track, great album!
Very peaceful voice, able to transport you to another dimension.
What gorgeous guitar work from Eric Clapton
I love this song! Indeed, George delivers soft sensuality through his voice and the music…
Beautiful song.
Stunning album, which includes My Sweet Lord, Isn’t It a Pity, the title song, and the exquisite Beware of Darkness. If you haven’t yet watched the memorial concert for Harrison, it’s a must.
Really!!

Incredible album, don't think there was a bad song.
Imagine how much better the Beatles would have been if John and Paul didn't reject 98% of George's songs.
Fantastic song.

Both good stories
Interesting facts..
This LP. Is CLASSIC & PERFECT, Thanks Harri
Awesome song Scott each Beatle has their own style and sound and I love them all. Great reaction Harri.
"If Not For You" is another good one from this album. It was written by Dylan also.
"All Things Must Pass", one of the greatest albums of all time
I’ve really come to love this song over the years. Thanks Harri!
A truly great pick, Scott!
This is my favorite Harrison song and it's probably no coincidence that Dylan was involved.
Dylan kept the lyrics simple as this was his style around his Nashville Skyline (Lay Lady Lay) period. I believe his contribution was the "All I have is yours ..." according to Harrison.
Without doing the research, that makes sense to me.
Great song by a great musician. George always worked well with others. He knew and got along so well with other great talent but you can see it "Get Back" he had his limits. Love George.
He didn't see too limited on All Things Must Pass.
Very nice song off a great album

Wow, you educated me on this song! This entire album is just golden. Everything. Thank you for sharing this Harri

I have this album...it's nice!Ty Harri for sharing
According to George's widow, his opening lines of this song were about his sometimes frustrating friendship with Dylan.
Wow
Adding to the list of a great musicians on this song. Alan white on drums who would later join YES. Gary Booker from Poco Haram and Gary wright from spooky tooth.
Love this track

I adore your reaction videos, keep it up :)
Thank you
Gotta check out Billy Joel Allentown music video. And Green Day Still Breathing music video

Scott Walker? Well, that’s a good idea, just about any tune from Scott 3 or 4 is awesome. It’s Raining Today is a good place to start.
That’s me! Except that I am the real Scott Walker and the the one that you know, uses my name. Maybe I should demand royalties? Lol
I am a musician too.
