I envy anyone who's hearing this song for the first time.
Yup. Just magical
That was me a few months ago when I bought the 50th anniversary mix remaster and it was a heavenly experience listening to the album
It’s hard look like a person in the world without musical culture .
George was a gem for my childhood, my favorite of the Beatles.
None of these people have a radio 🤔
My favorite Harrison song...Beautiful Simplicity ❤
I love how this song starts, that full sound of that 12 string guitar is amazing.
I especially like the tambourine in it.
It's called Phil Spector's wall of sound. His production always made things sound big.
A very beautiful song by the great George Harrison. RIP George!
Thank you for reviewing this. An important song for many.
George was very religious in his on way! this is a great song .Thank you Angela
still brings out the tears
To me what is so powerful about this song is George's universal approach to spirituality. He was a seeker, not a pundit. This is not "Lord" solely in the Christian sense but a universal concept of Lord as an acknowledgement and acceptance of a higher power regardless of how it is interprited by different parts of mankind. So powerful. So ahead of its time. It really shows how the members of the Beatles were on a quest for understanding that shows up in their music. Imagine, of course, is one of John's great songs about searching for a higher meaning about humankind. Even Elanor Rigby and Blackbird are questions about the nature of humans and an attempt to gain understanding.
There is only one God and He goes by many names.
@@roguescoop Yes, and maybe some that you are not prepared to accept yet.
@@bobtausworthe2671 Really ? And what might those be ?
@@roguescoop...and many forms. AND no form at all.
@@johndavidson5228 Agreed. He is simultaneously both With attributes and Without attributes.
This is a song that, for some reason I could never explain, I liked as a child and always liked if I heard it on the radio later in life. Normally I'm an r&B and hip hop head.
Most of my adult life I lived as an atheist, but now I follow Christ, and now I see why I was connected to this song.
I realize that. More the spiritual connection. I insert Jesus Christ as the the subject of the song.
Rpayne.... follow Christ?
The song is a praise to God, regardless of your secular belief. George said Hallelujah and Hari Krishna meant the same thing, "Praise to God".
@Spartan 300 It's not a problem at all and you're wrong. The Hebrew word Hallelujah is also used. The song is not about one particular God or religion and George Harrison said his inspiration for the melody was out-of-copyright Christian hymn "Oh Happy Day."
@@Catbytes *WRONG* ! The song was not about one particular religion per George Harrison's own words. None of the Beatles were apart of any particular Religion.
He wrote 'Something'. Probably his best work.
The opening line was penned by James Taylor, who was under contract with Apple. Harrison asked him if he could use the line and JT said sure.
One of my all time favorite songs. Hallelujah!
He seemed like a quiet Beatle, he wrote “Give Me Love”… That was my fav of his….
First time I listened to it: March/April 1971. Still stunning, you`ll never stop singing it and come one, aspiring guitarrist, never to late to grab one, learn, not so difficult at all, and start performing... if it is the very first one. whow... get impress every one.
I’ll NEVER forget him in Concert!!! The ultimate best! Love you George 💗
This is one of those songs that I enjoy hearing every time it comes up. I sing along to it too. Great to see You enjoying it.
Angela 🥰 is so cute when she chair dances 😍
Thank you Day One Reacts, for putting this Song on to listen to. This song helped me in my young years to get grounded when it was in a very difficult time in my life. I didn't ask if it was religious or not. Just singing my heart out to My Sweet Lord I Really Want To See You over and over to myself was enough for me, to talk to My Sweet Lord , And Thank HiM for All that HE has done for me!
My favorite Beatle 🤗
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krisha Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare 🕉🙏
One of the greatest musical transitions of all time at 2:06
Beautiful
I LOVE the Billy Preston version from the Concert for George! Also his version of Isn’t It a Pity, both must-sees!
You need to see this video
Totally must see version. Great call.
beautiful reaction. beautiful song
Wow this song brings back memories but good ones thank for this 🎵
My Sweet George ❤❤❤
Thank you george for your beautiful songs through your life! You were so talented!
One of his best solo work. All Things Must Pass the best of any solo Beatles albums.
I can remember singing this on the church bus on the way to summer camp, along with joy to the world .
It's more spiritual.. kind of like let it be by the Beatles... He was very religious, but the song blends a couple religions. Just a chill song. 😎 Great song. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
The quiet one who wrote some of the world`s most beautiful songs.
Of course a judge ruled in court that he did not write this song.Well he wrote the lyrics,but the judge ruled the melody to be the same as " He's s So Fine" . Harrison had to pay a considerable amount of money to the composer of " He's So Fine"
My favorite song from Harrison for sure. God is great and Harrison knew it. Harrison was religious.
@@Catbytes different strokes for different folks. Freedom of personal choice. Oh as long as they chose your God.
Oakley...God is great and Harrison knew it? What??
@@Harpo.jr70 That's why I chose Satan.
@Spartan 300 Oakley Smith never mentioned any God of the Bible. Please source where George Harrison said this song was about a Hindi Deity. He explicitly uses the word Hallelujah and Hare Krishna and has stated that the song was not about a single denomination. Try again. You have now repeated that lie several times in this comment section.
@@michaelasay8587 Are you struggling to comprehend English?
This is my warm up song when I start playing.. Beautiful sound to play..
One reason why George was the coolest Beatle. 😊
Hello, I found your video in advertently, and I found you so charming and engaging. I couldn’t take my eyes off. I grew up in a Beatles, loving household, with older sisters, and a brother, who brought home all the albums. So I was a small kid when this came out and grew up, always knowing it, it was wonderful to see your reaction as a first time listener but I want to make another point that I found most intriguing about your observations. I ended up becoming a music, major and studying arranging and really getting into instrumentation and what not. You loved the harmonies, and then you mentioned you love the tambourine! I cannot think of too many people who would’ve been able to notice and or identify the tambourine let alone appreciate it as you did my hats off to you for your observational skills. All the best.
One of George's best. Peter Frampton is on the slide guitar.
No that is definitely George on slide i think Frampton was one of the acoustic guitar parts.
Depends on what you read, Song Facts says Frampton played lead guitar at the request of Harrison, but in the discography section, it says Frampton played the acoustic guitar, while George played the slide guitar.
@@brenthenderson3983 Frampton confirmed on Howard Stern that he did play the lead guitar on My Sweet Lord.
His backup musicians were the same backup musicians for Delaney and Bonnie and friends and Derek in the Domino's , also Mad dogs and Englishman with Joe Cocker and Leon Russell
An ICONIC Song by George during his "Beatle Days" was a Love Song for his Wife, Patti Boyd called "Something". Patti has the Distinction of having SEVERAL Legendary Songs written to/about her from both George AND later, her Second Husband, Eric Clapton!
One of my favorite songs
I hope you do/react to his "Here Comes the Sun".....George was great :) (...he was still a Beatle, but..)
Yes, that is a real switch-a-roo halfway through, as George was making an attempt to merge the Judeo/Christian God with the Hindu God Krishna (8th incarnation of Vishnu). Bear in mind, this song was released when seeing Hare Krishnas proselytizing at airports was a common occurence.
This song makes me appreciate the repeat feature on my car cd player…
Lovely review by a lovely woman.
A superb song !!! a well crafted song a 10 plus !!!
I love this song Because it Melds Religions
Phil Spector did a genius job giving it his wall of sound treatment
He was one of the 'back-up singers on this song, as well. Unfortunately, later spector turned out to be a homicidal maniac who died in prison.
HE IS THERE
I have loved this song since the first time I ever heard it back in 71. It has always been one of my favorite of George Harrison's. Plus besides the fact Eric Clapton is playing in the background there and many other of George Harrison's friends.
Love this song, i have just spent a week learning this on guitar, just the easy strumming part.
My FAVORITE song of all time!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Angela, I remember when this song hit the airwaves. I was 16 years old. It created a stir with it's [background] chorus repeating both Christian and Hindu words. I guess [the Great] George Harrison wanted to reach out to both of those religions. He became a devotee of Hindu mysticism in the late 1960's. Listen to the lyrics of "The Inner Light." I don't know what his leanings were into his final decade or so, but I do know that whenever he referred to God in his music, he seemed to acknowledge a single [monotheistic] God as opposed to the pantheon of Hindu Gods. Moreover, he was always a firm believer in human love -- and not just the romantic type. Listen to his lyrics to Crackerbox Palace. Amazing that George began with "Don't Bother Me" and finished with "Any Road."
Thanks, Angela. I hope you feature more of George Harrison's work.
I don't know, but it seems that he was into the idea of the single truth, presented in different ways in e.g Hinduism and Christianity.
Of course, Angela, this song encompasses faiths from across the globe, hence the 'Hare Krishna' & 'Dalai Lama' inclusions - Harrison become a devotee of Bhuddism, but not an actual Bhuddist per se due to it's understated philosophy. As one of my fellow countrymen (I am Irish) Dave Allen, a comedian would often end his performances with, "May your God go with you" - leaving his audience with an open-ended epithet to worship (or not) as the case may be....it's a classic song, & Harrison is often overlooked in his musical contribution whilst with The Beatles... Thank you for this reaction 🙂
Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita that He doesn't reveal Himself to everyone. Most people in this material world have no interest in God. They don't want to see him, so for them Krishna is invisible. Only those who surrender to Him in love can expect to see Him in person, and then only by His good wishes.
I know Krishna
❤
Contrary to what several commenters have said this song purposely doesn't single out a particular region per George Harrison. It's simply a universal worship song that everyone can connect with.
That photo of them all by the river with George at the front is Awesome.....
The "Quiet Beatle" was my fav.
My favourite song from this album is the title track "All Things Must Pass".
Love your smile when you first heard the beginning of the guitar strings
This was played at my wife's funeral just recently brought everyone to tears she loved this song
He was singing about the any gods in his life just wanting to meet him and speak with him Anyway it was about talking to the creator.
thanks for georges song your reaction is always great
Great!! 👏🏻👏🏻😃😃
THATS HEAVY😎
Did you notice how long it took before the drums kicked in? I remember hearing this song on the radio on the way home from church back when I was a little kid. That slide guitar really stood out and so did the hallelujah chorus. A decade or so later I played guitar in the youth choir at church and my buddy in the choir and me tried to slip this song into the program but the choir director caught it and told us no. The hare-krishna bits were a step too far for him I suppose. We played an instrumental bit from Pink Floyd instead without telling him and he never knew the difference. Harrison was taken to court over "My Sweet Lord" on the accusation that he plagiarized "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons for this song. He lost the case because the similarities between the songs are clear, but the ruling was that the plagiarism was subconscious so he retained his reputation, legally, but the man was a saint so it hardly mattered in the end. I blame that whole mess on Phil Spector anyway. Check out The Chiffons "He's So Fine" for comparison.
Harrisons lawyer...in typical lawyer fashion, switched sides half way thru the case....thats what cost him the case.. I believe
@@fricky11111 No it was actually Alan Klein, his manager. They had a falling out and George fired him. He had been the Beatles manager and ended up being fired by Ringo and John too. Then he found out that George was going to settle the lawsuit with Bright Star who owned the copyright and told them they shouldn't settle for so little. He found out Bright Star was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and bought the company, becoming a plaintiff in the case (he was originally a witness for George) and hoping to make big bucks on the copyright. The judge said he didn't believe the song was an intentional copy, but due to the similarity had no legal choice but to find him guilty of plagiarism. He valued the loss of the plaintiff at 1.6 million dollars, but said the court would not reward Klein for his actions and allow him to make a profit from them. So his judgement was for $587,000, the exact amount Klein paid for Bright Star and Klein was ordered to turn over all rights and royalties to the song to George and take no further action.
This song is more than religious, it is spiritual
Just a few songs I recommend to react to if you don't know them... 1. Loggins & Messina - Danny's Song, 2. Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See 3. Pure Prairie League - Amie
I would recommend watching a vid of the song with the lyrics attached. Hare Krishnas chant the Hare Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Rama Rama bit at the end. The Beatles studied with Guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, I believe he was called. They were also smoking the evil weed which gave some of them a sense of cosmic consciousness wherein lies the interdependency of the protean noumenae of existence. Stuff like that.
Yes the Krishna movement was huge back then. At all the airports especially when soldiers were getting off planes and onto concourse, end of one nightmare and the beginning of a new nightmare. Which is still going on till this day. POW/MIA gone but never forgotten. 🇺🇸
Love the double album this song came from the year I graduated from high school! I use to play this in church as the kids would come down to the alter for the mass homily.
Actually, it is a TRIPLE, not double, album.
George was the best beatle. The best songs are his.
Good pick. My favorite from Harrison.
Easily the best song featuring hare krishna chants.
lol
I really love this song!
Good Reaction but you did not seem to notice the ever-changing images of George thru' his life :)
Every xmas eve the wife and I drink a glass of wine while wrapping the kids presents after they go to bed. This is on our xmas eve playlist. Also on it..
Happy xmas (war is over) John Lennon
PleaseCome Home for Christmas the Eagles
IOUT OF ALL REACTORS , YOU ARE THE BOMB😢 SO PIOLITE IN THE SPIRITUAI REACTION! !There is no words to express your humbleness while listening listening 😢!
He had to reach financial settlement with the writers of 'He's So Fine' by the Chiffons as it was similar in places.
Harrison was a Hindu since the Beatles were in India back in 1968. His concert for Bangladesh in 1971 was incredible.
Thank you
This is Georges love Song to GOD
nice song❤
(Class of 71) FSIS,Lawton,Okla.
Cool hair!
Love it when the tambourine kicks in
You need to listen the version that Billy Preston did during a memorial concert to Gerorge.
Ex-Beatle George. The Beatle members did well with solo careers after the Beatles split up in 1070
Ditto. George is my favorite beatle. Day One was way off on her review but i do respect her decision because she so cute.
This came out during the Jesus movement featured in the recent Jesus Revolution movie but features all world religions and gods of the universe in praise to worshipping them. It was done as a counter to the Jesus Revolution taking place.
Nina Simone did a great cover of this with the Bethaney community childrens choir
Answers the question about why the pagan Romans built the Pantheon (to every belief) temple, so well constructed it stands to this day
This song mixes Hinduism and Christianity into its lyrics.
A lot of the India religions are very peaceful people.
That's true. Buddism has many forms and there is one sect that teaches that all religions are like different paths leading to a mountain top, and often those on one path can't see the others and believe they have found the only path. Of course Buddism is of Chinese origin, but I'm assuming you mean all the eastern religions, as many of them are practiced in India.
This song is one of those rare types where the backup vocals are the featured singers, at least midway to the end of the song.
All of the chorus vocals are George overdubbing himself.
@@Dusty999 I did not know that. I thought it was a group of back up singers behind the microphones.
This is the first song I ever remember hearing in my life. George was a Hindu and he was describing bhakti yoga or devotion to a god.
He wouldn't have used the Hebrew word "Hallelujah" if that was the case and he explained it was universal worship song. George was not a hindu or tied to any single religion.
@@mr.brenman2132 He was a Hindu and a simple Google search will confirm this fact
Gr8 song... George believed that all religions were very relevant!!!! Gr8 man.
and John believed that all religions were very irrelevant - "Imagine"
- It's SUPER religious !!!
Both :
* Christian ..
... and ...
* Hindu ..
Oh yeah! Another great pick! Thanks!!
George was sued over the likeness of the melody to the "Chiffon's =ONE FINE DAY", even though they are not that similar. Mr. Harrison has the most unique guitar slide tones in the world. A true master musician.
He tries to include as many religious chants as possible in this song. From Hindu, to Buddhism and more. George was highly spiritual and was big into Hinduism.
I thought it was The Chiffons- He's So Fine
There was a very good video running My Sweet Lord and He's So Fine over each other, and it really is striking. When George was sued, he conceded that he may have been subconsciously influenced by He's So Fine. It took 22 years to run through the courts, and ended up costing him $587,000 to purchase the rights to He's So Fine.
It was he's so fine and it was because he admitted in an interview that he liked the Chiffons that he lost the suit
great song. reminds me of high school and pretty girls like yourself.
It's a spiritual song 4 sure
his other song (May 1981 release): "All Those Years Ago" is good as well.
Wikipedia excerpt: "Harrison tailored the lyrics to serve as a personal tribute to his former Beatles bandmate John Lennon, following the latter's murder in (Dec) 1980. Ringo Starr is featured on drums, and Paul McCartney (along with his Wings bandmates Linda McCartney and Denny Laine) overdubbed backing vocals onto the basic track."
