This song is specifically a tribute to John Lennon after John was murdered. George also has a song generally reminiscing about being a Beatle called "When We Was Fab" (The Beatles were sometimes known by their press-given nickname of "The Fab Four")
“Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of lies And all else that we despised.” These lines always give me goosebumps.
Interestingly, he actually wrote it originally for Ringo before John was killed (they even recorded a version of it). After John's death, he reworked the lyrics to make it a tribute to John.
It was always a tribute to John even before the murder. George had basically finished the track by the time of john's death. In light of the news he reworked the lyrics and recorded a new vocal. He also invited Paul to do backing vocals. Ringo was already on the original music track.
This was a tribute from George to John Lennon, after John's death in 1980 at the young age of 40. Shot by a lunatic in New York City outside of John's apartment building.
This is one of the best tribute songs ever written for anyone, imo! Ringo is on drums with Paul and his then wife Linda on backing vocals. A truly beautiful tribute to John from his former band mates!
Love it. Haven't heard it in awhile. "Now we're left cold and sad by someone, the Devil's best friend..." You might want to check out Elton John's tribute to John, called "Empty Garden". This was such a shock to us all back then.
That line was a good way to describe John's killer, without having to mention his name. I NEVER mention that "piece of trash's" name. I refuse to give him the "fame" he wanted for killing John. Thank goodness he has been consistently denied parole at every hearing (Yoko always attended the hearings, I suspect their son Sean will have to do it for the next time it rolls around, Yoko is too frail now).
I can't watch this video without feeling utterly heartbroken, just the same way it felt on the morning of December 9, 1980 when I found out John Lennon was murdered. That soul-crushing feeling has never left me, even after 42 years. George Harrison has such a way of tuning in to the truest feelings of the heart. The whole world has never stopped mourning the loss of John Lennon.
The Beatles have to be the greatest band ever and most talented , watching them brings smiles and you can see they were the closest of friends and like brothers and loved each other as such and they had so much fun. they were witty, talented, funny and all of them could sing and made thier way on thier talent . Yes its amazing to think that was really not that long ago .
The older you get , the faster it goes guys , take my word for it . I'm 58 years old and 28 feels like last week . Every year goes by like a month used to . This foto , in my thumbnail was taken when I was about 40 , I haven't changed it because it feels like I just took it 6 months ago. Also RIP John Ono Lennon .
@Mikey The Hat....wait until you get to be 75 like me, time even goes faster! For me a year goes by like a few months now. It's truly scary how much faster it goes the older you get. Remember when you were just a little kid and a year seemed to take FOREVER!!?? How I LONG for it to feel like that now. I am not ready to go yet....so many people my age have.
@@patticrichton1135 Don't be scared. What are you gonna do? It's just the way of things. It won't help to allow fear to have any impact. I say, enjoy the twilight years, what do you have to lose?
In the summer of 1981, you could not go anywhere without hearing this song & the raw emotion of it being released only months after John Lennon’s assassination. The following year Paul McCartney recorded a song for Lennon called “Here Today” which has a become a permanent part of his set list at his concerts.
I have no doubt that Dear George was the heart of the Beatles. His soulful demeanor and peaceful charismatic charm always brings smiles to people's faces! Would highly recommend George's song "Give me love (and peace on Earth)".
Three Beatles coming together to knock one more out of the park in tribute to their brother. I was little when this came out but it makes me think of being in school, the smell of crayons and glue, the classroom windows open on a fresh spring day. The lyrics were as deep as it gets but the music is so innocent and wide eyed. George's music was all about making the listener feel good. He was never trying to wow anybody, just went where the music took him with no ego slowing him down or tricking him into a wrong turn. Just listen to the guitar, it sounds like he just plugged straight into the board, no effects, no razzle dazzle, doesn't matter, it hits you right in the heart.
Ringo on drums, Paul and Linda McCartney (with Denny Laine) backing vocals. The first recording after John's murder to feature the three remaining Beatles.
I recommend “Something,” “Here Comes the Sun,” Tax Man,” or “My Sweet Lord,” great George-songs with the Beatles, except for the last one, which was post-Beatles solo, iirc.
in the beginning this song was for Ringo Starr ( george wrote few song for him ) but after Lennon death george decide to change few word and his a tribute for lennon ( paul mc cartney his on the chorus and ringo in the drums )
Goerge was always the introspective Beatle. I think this song was a little closure for Goerge on the chapter of his life with the Beatles & John. I got to see Goerge in concert, Amazing!
This was written after John was murdered, so there's no going back, but the "Threatles" (Paul, George, and Ringo) nevertheless did go back during the mid 90s by producing completed versions of "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" using old solo demo recordings by John. And during Paul's latest concert tour, he included footage from the Beatles rooftop performance of January 30, 1969 that was for the movie "Let It Be" (and recently also included in Peter Jackson's "Get Back" documentary). Paul recreated their duet on "I've Got A Feeling" (this was another song like "A Day In The Life" where John and Paul merged two of their separate songs into one). For the record though, "Empty Garden" by Elton John was probably the best tribute song to Lennon.
George Harrison put this out around 1981 paying homage to his friend and Beatle band mate John Lennon who had been gunned down by a crazed fan in December 1980.
@ ELIZABETH FRANCO, I don't want to sound rude or mean, but if you see this, could you kindly remove John's killer's name from your post? We TRUE fans NEVER mention his name because it just gives him the notoriety and fame that he wanted by killing John. We don't even like him being referred to as a "fan" TRUE fans DON'T go out and kill or hurt the person they are supposedly a fan of. Just call him a crazy man. He deserves to not HAVE a name. THANKS
Paul wrote and released a tribute to John too - "Here Today," on his album, 'Tug of War.' Also, a bit more obscure perhaps but just as emotional, is Ringo's tribute to George called, "Never Without You." It has Eric Clapton on guitar. John wrote, "Now and Then," to his dear friend, Paul. So all four Beatles have written a song about another Beatle in this way.
True story; John told Paul once if anything ever happened to him, that he should watch for a white feather, and that would be a sign he was o.k. Some years later during a photo shoot with the remaining three Beatles, a white peacock wandered into the outdoor photo shoot.
This is tribute to John Lennon, who was shot and killed the year before. Harrison remained friends with Lennon after The Beatles broke up. In an interview after John Lennon was shot, George said that he originally had written most of the lyrics for Ringo, but with Lennon's assassination, he rewrote the lyrics and told of how he looked up to John. >> Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney played on this along with Denny Laine from McCartney's band Wings. Long time Beatle producer George Martin produced this for Harrison. Geoff Emerick, one of The Beatles sound engineers, also had a hand in this tune. >> In Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards, Al Kooper gives an eye-witness account of George Harrison's reaction to hearing the news that John Lennon had been shot: "George was in the kitchen, white as a sheet, real shook up. We all had breakfast. He took calls from Paul and Yoko, which actually seemed to help his spirit, and then we went into the studio and started the day's work. Ray and I kept George's wine glass full all day..." Working til midnight, some of the work from this session ended up on the album Somewhere in England. (Songfacts.com)
Thanks for that info , I had never heard that. I hate that John and George weren't on the best of terms when John was murdered. His feelings seemed to be hurt after reading George's book.
In many ways this qualifies as a Beatles track. From George's 1981 album, "Somewhere in England," this song was produced by George Martin and it has George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney playing on it, three Beatles. Given that many official Beatles tracks were released that did not include all four Beatles, this is no different and in featuring three, is better than some. "The Ballad of John and Yoko," only has John and Paul on the record, while the original recording of, "Yesterday," only has Paul.
I remember realizing this fact for the first time when I was 8 years old. Already I could sense the school year going by faster than the previous and I wondered if my life was just gonna flash by eyes when I was twenty. Turns out I was right. I'm 45 now and I'm gonna walk up tomorrow and find that I'm suddenly 60.
I've said it before, the songs would have more meaning, if you looked up the actual meaning AFTER your interpretation. This was a tribute song to John Lennon after his murder. It would have more meaning than just a "nostalgia" song!
They did not want to be solo ,, But maybe like people do not want to leave thier twenties, it just happens, It is mostly about John who had been shot, murdered and was just a bit more the leader than Paul,,
I Was Used To See Them Just Walking By Tip My Hat AND THAT WAS THAT BECAUSE The Knew I Was Being Respectful of THIER Privacy I WAS An ARMED Guard I Went Home And COLLAPSED IN MY WIFE'S ARMS HAD I KNOWED I WOULD HAVE INTERRUPTED WITH MY PISTOL AND SHOT HIM JUST AS I TURNED THE CORNER I KNOW I'M JUST GLAD HE DIDN'T HURT MRS LENNON 🙏😞GOD BLESS YOU YOKO PRAY FOR RINGO HE'S NOT WELL 🌹💯 RESPECT 💝💐🍒✌️
Why do people always They Recommend the most average Beatles songs and average songss from those artistss as individuals, also. You literally have the greatest catalogue ever to choose songs tthat sound groundbreaking, even when you listen to them now, e.g., tomorrow never knows, somethhing, Strawberry Fields forever, Yer blues, Revolution, old brown shoe, Oh darling, nowhere man, get back, or don't let me down. This is the real groundbreaking Beatles, not some of the more commercial stuff like hey Jude, Let it be, yesterday, Or 1 of the solo tracks like this (all those years ago)
Hey guys. Since it’s Christmas season I’d love for you to watch this one from Lee Ann Rimes. It’s so beautiful’. ❤️❤️. th-cam.com/video/Jc1kD71IQuw/w-d-xo.html
Extremely heartfelt song by George for John. Very insightful reaction guys . Don't worry about the passage of time,no way to stop it . Your about to enter your next chapter with the baby. Enjoy.
It's crazy to think that John was only 40 when he passed. George was a great artist in his own right and definitely needs more love and appreciation. Even though The Beatles split up many years ago and pursued other interests, they really did care about each other the same way brothers do. The song was a great tribute to John by George. Ringo and Paul are the only two still left .
I've oft lamented that the remaining members of The Beatles and the remaining members of The Who didn't team up and do something. Between the two, they're a full band.
That's a pretty unique combination. The 4 of them could switch up on vocals depending on the song or style. Roger, Pete, Ringo and Paul. One unique fact is that Ringo's son Zak has been drumming with the Who for years, and was gifted his first set of drums by...Keith Moon.
George wrote this song for John after he'd been murdered. He had lived with times of feeling very nervous about safety, & later his fears were realized. A guy broke in to Friar Park (his home), in the middle of the night, & both George and Olivia were involved in a horrific fight against this guy. George had things going in & out of his leg I believe, & collapsed lung, all kinds of awful injuries. He was already fighting cancer when this happened, so it was completely horrifying. I'd recommend checking out "Isn't it a Pity", "Beware of Darkness"and TONS more! George was HORRIFICALLY UNDERAPPRECIATED in the Beatles, & so he was glad to be able to finally get some of his enormous stockpile of incredible music released!! He seemed SOOOO much happier when he handpicked friends to become the Traveling Wilburies! They put out some incredible songs as well. Sadly, only Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan are still alive.
the intruder stabbed George many times, it was amazing that he survived that attack since he was already in a weakened state with cancer, Dhani feels that the attack hastened George's decline in health even further. Olivia had a few wounds too when she tried to fight him off of George. It's disgusting!
To your point about forming the Wiburies: George had said several years earlier, "The best that happened to me was the Beatles. The second best thing to happen to me was leaving the Beatles."
Among all the photos you are also seeing clips from their movies A Hard Day's Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be. Left out is the cartoon movie Yellow Submarine. You need to watch those in that order. I highly recommend A Hard Days Night out of all of them as it helps you understand Beatlemania in a fun way, the pressures of being the young new Beatles under pressure to perform and tour all the time. This was about the assassination of John Lennon on DEC 8 1980, by a crazed fan in NYC. George wrote this tribute song. Paul wrote on later called Here Today. Ringo did write one eventually for George in 2003 called Never Without You. George wrote one about the Beatles in 1987 called When We was Fab. You may want to check all those out.
only ringo and paul left now... It speeds up the older you get. if we lived till we were a thousand, i reckon we would see the sun moving across the sky, time is relative..
This was George's personal tribute to John Lennon after he was murdered. That's why John appears so prominently in the video. He also wrote a tribute to the Beatles called When We Was Fab. John lived to be 40. He has been gone for 42 years.
Good Choice. George did so much great solo stuff. What is referred to as his "ohm" album is just fantastic (if overly spiritual for my taste). And "All Things Must Pass" is also great music, and with a country, folky touch. That was a double-album, and his first solo album. It killed in sales.
@@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns I would have to go with the John Lennon "cloud" album. But ATMP is way up there for me. It is just full of incredible tunes.
It was George's tribute to John Lennon. It was released five months after Lennon's death in 1980. By that time he had known Lennon for 23 years.

Another great tribute song to John is “Here Today” by Paul McCartney
This song was a tribute to John Lennon and was released on the 6 month anniversary of his death.
This was written after John was murdered, so there's no going back, but the "Threatles" (Paul, George, and Ringo) nevertheless did go back during the mid 90s by producing completed versions of "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" using old solo demo recordings by John. And during Paul's latest concert tour, he included footage from the Beatles rooftop performance of January 30, 1969 that was for the movie "Let It Be" (and recently also included in Peter Jackson's "Get Back" documentary). Paul recreated their duet on "I've Got A Feeling" (this was another song like "A Day In The Life" where John and Paul merged two of their separate songs into one).
For the record though, "Empty Garden" by Elton John was probably the best tribute song to Lennon.
There’s always that 25% chance George was your favorite Beatle… they were all amazing in their own rights. I loved his song, “something.”

Elton John also had a John Lennon tribute song out about this time, "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)".
You two will be 80 years old and watching this reaction video, maybe making a video reacting to that.
As many have already written this was George's tribute to John after John's murder. Paul McCartney also has a nice tribute called Here Today.
George Harrison wrote that some time after the assassination of John Lennon. it's a tribute.
I can't imagine any other Beatle even considering writing a song about any other Beatle in this way. Heart-wrenching stuff.

George did not care much for McCartney, though he collaborated with him after the Beatles broke up. He was more on Lennon's corner, sort of speak.

Brad & Lex, you'll love his "Give Me Love(Give Me Peace on Earth)" !!
This song breaks my heart. RIP John. Such a beautiful tribute.
George wrote this song for John after he'd been murdered. He had lived with times of feeling very nervous about safety, & later his fears were realized. A guy broke in to Friar Park (his home), in the middle of the night, & both George and Olivia were involved in a horrific fight against this guy. George had things going in & out of his leg I believe, & collapsed lung, all kinds of awful injuries. He was already fighting cancer when this happened, so it was completely horrifying.
I'd recommend checking out "Isn't it a Pity", "Beware of Darkness"and TONS more! George was HORRIFICALLY UNDERAPPRECIATED in the Beatles, & so he was glad to be able to finally get some of his enormous stockpile of incredible music released!!
He seemed SOOOO much happier when he handpicked friends to become the Traveling Wilburies! They put out some incredible songs as well. Sadly, only Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan are still alive.
the intruder stabbed George many times, it was amazing that he survived that attack since he was already in a weakened state with cancer, Dhani feels that the attack hastened George's decline in health even further. Olivia had a few wounds too when she tried to fight him off of George. It's disgusting!
To your point about forming the Wiburies: George had said several years earlier, "The best that happened to me was the Beatles. The second best thing to happen to me was leaving the Beatles."
Your going to be shocked how fast the time flys by
I like these two, but about 90% of the times they don't get the meaning of the songs. This was a tribute to the late John Lennon.
Had the Beatles not broken up, there would definitely be an awesome slide guitar in the songs. George definitely mastered the slide.
"When We Was Fab" is another good looking back song from George.
Among all the photos you are also seeing clips from their movies A Hard Day's Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be. Left out is the cartoon movie Yellow Submarine. You need to watch those in that order. I highly recommend A Hard Days Night out of all of them as it helps you understand Beatlemania in a fun way, the pressures of being the young new Beatles under pressure to perform and tour all the time. This was about the assassination of John Lennon on DEC 8 1980, by a crazed fan in NYC. George wrote this tribute song. Paul wrote on later called Here Today. Ringo did write one eventually for George in 2003 called Never Without You. George wrote one about the Beatles in 1987 called When We was Fab. You may want to check all those out.
Both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr played on this track. First time they recorded together since the Beatles broke up. All in tribute to John Lennon.
only ringo and paul left now... It speeds up the older you get. if we lived till we were a thousand, i reckon we would see the sun moving across the sky, time is relative..
Another nostalgic George H song: 'When We was Fab' is even catchier than this one.
This was George's personal tribute to John Lennon after he was murdered. That's why John appears so prominently in the video. He also wrote a tribute to the Beatles called When We Was Fab. John lived to be 40. He has been gone for 42 years.
Good Choice. George did so much great solo stuff. What is referred to as his "ohm" album is just fantastic (if overly spiritual for my taste). And "All Things Must Pass" is also great music, and with a country, folky touch. That was a double-album, and his first solo album. It killed in sales.
All Things Must Pass is my fave Beatle post The Beatles album.
@@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns I would have to go with the John Lennon "cloud" album. But ATMP is way up there for me. It is just full of incredible tunes.
@@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns yes,mine too,a classic
@@88pjtink my favorite Lennon album is Some Time in NYC
