This is how many people miss George Harrison in 2024!👇
I love how you comment this on all the great artists that have passed away
George is my favorite Beatle. No drama just a great humanitarian.
@@michelleobregon2578 And I love how 3 people have commented on this post in 8 hours on a video that was made 50 years ago.
@@bigjohn6475 lmao 50 years ago bud?!
@@sherakaka3203 Yeah. This song was released in 1970.
The more you listen to George, the more you realise how special he was and will always be.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Concur 😊
He was the god energy of the Beatles. He was so super shy. And Humble....
@@SarahWoodard-n5n He was the Beatles Third Eye!
Oh yeah
Thank you God for putting this man George Harrison on earth.
Sadly, for too short of a time. But his music will live on forever. ❤❤❤❤
I second that wonderful idea!
Hare Krishna
Yeah, "god" didn't have anything to do with it Koolaide drinker.
@@MrSkinnn why is there *ALWAYS* one wet blanket in the comments? Guess ur proud of yourself.
I got this album for Christmas in 1970 from my lovely sister. Thank you sis. I'm still listening 54 years later. I know where every crack and pop is. :)
I have record albums and I feel the same way. I finally bought some record cleaner and now those cracks and pops are gone. Kind of miss them.
The only interpretive dance I’ve ever seen that conveys the song.
Al fin alguien lo dijo!!!!
So true 👍
That's what I said. 3 months ago. I watch this video semi-regularly. Whenever I want a boost of happiness! Her dance of life is beautiful and pure!
@@robertfripp62😊😊😊😊0⁰⁰⁰😊p😊😊p
This song fills me with happiness
George wrote the most beautiful songs of all time. Peace to his family.
❤Mr George Harrison is and will always be missed and Loved . My favorite Beatle then John Lennon then Ringo Starr and Sir. Paul McCartney. Rest in Loving peace 🕊️🕊️ Mr. Harrison and also Mr.Lennon .❤🎉
You don't know all the songs of all time !!
My favorite Beatle
I ve always thought Paul bullied George, something and here comes the sun made the abbey road album. Two best track from the album
Yes, yes ,yes and yes.
RIP George Harrison (February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001), aged 58
You will be remembered as a legend
I remember when they did him on ABC News Nightline--I was so happy it wasn't about Iraqu, I would have seen it if it was about the the lifestyles of gay walruses!
Love George 🏁
So is Emma an friend
This is a tribute to my late wife. She was so shy and bashful. She never really had a chance to express herself, passed away from cancer halfway through our lives, but I can honestly tell you it was a heart stopping experience for me .. when she seen me again ❤️💕♋️🖤one day closer…🙏
Sorry for your loss
Ray, thank you for sharing this. I'm so sorry that you're not with your wife right now. I do hope you can live your life to the full while you're still here with us, then be with her again at the right time. 🙏🏼
Ray my friend I can honestly say to you that she has not left you and are still with you. You are just in different dimensions for awhile. Believe me I know this for a fact I am not just saying this to make you feel better. Blessings and strength from Africa.
I feel your pain ive lost my daughter and son ❤
@@BrendaDrumm .. Take care of yourself…And I’ll do the same…💕
THE VIDEO WAS MADE BY FANS AND THE HARRISON ESTATE SELECTED THE BEST OF THE ENTRIES THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WON
Thank you. I was wondering why it was modern, what with the highlighted tips in her hair.
Thx for that bit of info .. I been wondering about that for the last year because the official video is different
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
Poor selection

When George Harrison is the third song writer in your band, you know your band is good. This song never gets old.
Some people would disagree that he was the third best songwriter
Who said he's the third best, I think it was a 3 way tie..... My Sweet Lord is a top 10 for me and I'm a young 61.
@@pattyhaley2949 when I think of my favorite Beatles songs, George wrote many of them. Within you without you...Here comes the sun....Something
@@alexkagman, the stats clearly show that he was. No shame in that, he was brilliant
@@pattyhaley2949 To be fair, the op wrote "third", not "third best". "Third" can just as easily refer to quantity, and in that respect it's a fact that George was third.
One of my wife's favorite songs. She passed two months ago. Now it has a much different meaning for me.
God bless, I hope it works out OK for you. I suspect it will.
My sympathy. Hope you have friends & family near. Take care.
I'm sorry.
Thinking of you. This song is special and I'm sure your wife was too, if it meant a lot to her. It is one of my favorites of all time also.
Very sorry for your loss, James. God bless, and if this song gives you comfort, so much the better.
we were so lucky to grow up when this music was pouring out from real talented writers, such as George,absolutely priceless.
I'm definitely bummed I wasn't born in the 50s.. Growing up with all these bands would have been so cool. Just grateful I can enjoy all of it still
@@mikea9365 If you had been born then you might already be dead. That;s just math and statistics. Don't dwell on what you missed out on. Get out there and find something new.
Being a teen in the 70s, I listened to Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Sabbath, and other big rock bands. I spent this afternoon listening to 10cc, the Raspberries, the Babys, America, and Looking Glass. They were the great 70s bands. I know the songs by heart, and they're more unique and beautiful. And John, Paul, George, and Ringo did some of their best after they went solo.
@@jackobrien6698 I was also a teen in the 70's. That makes me 67 next week. How old are you and how are you doing?
@@maxspeed57 Er...I'm still here.
Played this at my dear wife's funeral the other day .........beautiful song for a beautiful person....miss you......
So sorry about your Loss. Prayers, and Deepest Sympathies to you, and the Family. I cannot imagine the grief from losing your Wife. God, ♥Love, and good memories will carry you through. We will all return home one day to be reunited with our Loved ones who crossed over.
George was there holding her hand......
So sorry for your loss, I lost my wife a year and a half ago. You are not alone and I’ll pray for you and I mean that
Very Sorry for your loss….this and All Things Must Pass and (possibly) End of the End by Paul will be my funeral songs….hopefully not anytime soon
What perfect song of love to play for her.
Is there anyone else out there who misses the genius that was GH. However, lets thank god for enjoying his talent. How blessed are we ? Love Angela x
Love,
- from The Swamp.
Strange times. Good tunes.
Peace & Chicken Grease!!!
Yes I am someone else who misses the genius G.H. of the Beatles His life 🧬 was and will always be specially missed by us all forever and a day Till the end of time . Miss missing G.H. of the Beatles and also dearly Miss J .L. John Lennon. Oh How Talented he was and is. AGenius in his own right. Beatle Lover Still.
No, your the Only One! What a Stupid Coment!
Nope. He is the best. Straight up.
Edit: I mean yes. Point stands,
He was my favorite Beatle. Now, he's on some better place. RIP George! 👍🏴
Something mesmerising about girl in yellow.. she not a super model yet something about her portrays true beauty like I’ve never seen before ❤
Perhaps the confidence of a dancer…
People care too much for static looks, they imitate lifeless statues in photographs. She is moving - and skilled so - which I find to be more attractive than posturing
@@nancyfarrington610 no not really, I think it’s her inner beauty, her spirit, her inner soul is reflected as someone in my comments pointed out
She's got that "(Pretty) Girl Next Door" look.
Spiritual
It's a shame that George didn't see this lovely interpretation of one of his best song.
I get the art of the video. Youth wonders about the meaning of life as independence is gained (symbolized by the girl leaving home). Leaving the playground behind she ponders death in the cemetery and celebrates (not fears) its inevitable rapture. Then the inexplicable chemistry erupts as she encounters love. This is true to George Harrison's spirituality.
Spot on.
That is a great take on the video. The song could have been a Beatles song (instead of a solo effort), as GH wrote it while still in the Beatles! Shame it was ignored by McCartney and Lennon
Very thoughtful interpretation!
You're a fuckin dumb ass
Oh, the good old over-interpretation
My wife left me last month, and this song should be making me sad. Instead, somehow, it's giving me hope. Such is the magic of George Harrison.
I totally agree with you about George. I hope you find happiness and love again. This song is very inspirational, I believe, no matter how you interpret it.
Time heals these wounds, believe me!
My friend, remember the good times ;))
Truth. My beloved dog River just died + I find comfort in this beautiful song too. I am sending love to you. xo
Yes Love exists with or without a partner! :)
The dancers are members of the San Francisco Ballet.The film won a competition posted by Dhani Harrison for the creation of a video for the song.Pure art.
They are AWESOME!
And the dancers' names are Emma Rubinowitz and Esteban Hernandez
It was nearly 50 years ago that I saw my first ballet, but only now do I understand it. Thank you, Emma and Esteban.
I love this entire video, but my favorite part is when they meet and dance together. I love their energy.
How old is this video?
Feel so sorry for kids today! They'll never experience the joy and freedom of 60s/70s ... let alone this classic music!
It doesn't matter what year it is. they are fucked. And that's on us.
But-but-but they have Taylor Swift and Beyonce!
George Carlin was right ... humans are basically f****d! Just glad we got to enjoy the 60s/70s!!
George Harrison, the coolest Beatle - what a song
@Artur Belo Nah George was both of those things
You look like John Snow lol
@@matsreinderink4994 so people tell me, never watched Games of Thrones lol
He definitely was! He's greatly missed! 😣
Agreed.
George is easily the most underrated Beatle
And people say the quiet ones have nothing to day but that's because they are not listening
Yes he is so ringo all really
There is no underrated Beatle.
@@afterlifeatonethirty yes it is such a thing as underrated beatles so you obviously don't know what you're talking about
@@chlariepeace1247 opinions are like elbows and @ssholes....we all got em.
@@afterlifeatonethirty @ssholes... just because you have one, doesn't mean you gotta be one.
The horn section is fantastic on this song. And the girl in this video is very beautiful.
Emma Rubinowitz, formerly of the San Francisco ballet and now a UX designer.
This classic is over 50 years old and it still sounds as amazing as it did back then. ❤
Respectfully apologize
Agree
Stuff of Legends ♥️🇦🇺👌
Makes me think about are you there god it’s me Margaret
Fucking crazy 🎉
In my humble opinion, this is the most beautiful rock love song ever created. Such simple lyrics and yet so powerful! Thank you George Harrison for contributing some of the greatest rock music there is!
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support🎵💖
There might be “something” better
Tough to pick just one Beatles song
Agreed, just feeling relaxed snuggled up to my better half when listening to this song just now, this world needs more love just now ❤❤❤❤
He's talking to his God
Lots of symbolism in this video - Leaving home for the first time (shrouded by fog), being off balance and wondering which direction to go (middle of the street on the double yellow lines), forming an open box on her heart, letting go of our childish ways (playground), growing in the sunshine (the garden), dancing even though we are surrounded by death (running pirouette through cemetery), first love then lit by sunlight (forbidden forest), both are wearing yellow and white tops (Yellow is the symbolic meaning of optimism, idealism and hope. White is purity), etc. etc. etc. - WOW!
That's a lot to unpack!
Glad you typed this out: the symbolism seems to be lost on so many of the muppets who negatively comment on this video. They either think she's not a good dancer and/or sexually obsess over her looks
Or maybe in light of what is happening now - Empty playground ( children locked up ) Hand over face and outstretched arm ( mask and keep back ). Empty allotments and falling on autumn leaves ( lack of food and death ) Dancing in front of lines of gravestones ( mass extermination and dancing on our graves ) ! Or maybe I’m just paranoid .
Your insight is greatly appreciated. I was blinded by her beauty and didn't notice. Very interesting though.
Mike F Mike F
Yes, she is gorgeous and I love George’s music.
Twin pillars of freemasonry at the start ? Lots of symbolism and just as many ways to interpret it, depends on where you are coming from really.
It's painfully sad that we grow old
Yeah, it is.
But then you get another one, over and over again, until one day, just before you die, you pray to never get born again.
It wouldn’t be special if we lived forever. But i hear yah
This earthly life is only the temporary cocoon to our eternal butterfly.

George gave many of us a point of reference in our lives. Loved then, loved always.
Imagine write a song that people would still be listening half century later
That's what Beatles did
Was this about God?
A wonderful song that stands the test of time!
Good music is inmortal!
Si
One of the best songs ever made
What brought you here? Haha
I agree styx...love your content btw brother.
Fancy seeing you here. I've been listening to this constantly for the past few weeks. I love clanking my spoons to this tune.
I think it's a melodic masterpiece It ain't easy to compose music like this
Takes a true artist :D
Hey Styx.
偉大なるジョージ、私は今でも楽しんでいます。素晴らしい音楽を残してくれてありがとう。
wow amazing i can tell this George Harrison guy is gonna blow up.
one word man stop. hahaaa
one word man are you being serious or just playing? you do know who George Harrison is right?
someone didn't get the joooooooke
GManAffiliateMarketing no I never heard of him before but I think he has a great future ahead of him. I love that guitar sound. He could be the next Niall from 1D
george harrison died 15 years ago and he's one of the beatles
Let’s face the fact, all 4 Beatles were brilliant, no one can touch them even after all these years.
You are so right! No one even comes close!
Well then you only new shit music I guess. There a lot of artists and bands that have good song writing similiar to The Beatles. BUT.. What you mean is that no one can copy them. And that's true for sure :)
@@thallrudedjentstorm1756 I think the idea is that it is almost unfeasible for a band to have such varied, influential, and groundbreaking music evolving and being constantly released over a 7 year period.
@@thallrudedjentstorm1756 I’m not saying there aren’t artists and bands out there that write great songs, a lot do.
But the Beatles will go on when other bands have disappeared into the background. As for shit music yeah I’ve listened to bands that produce bad music, I’ve not just spent my life listening to the Beatles, but in my opinion my above comment is true.
like Ringo said recently... every generation discovers the Beatles
This song is fifty years old and timeless.
And Simon Cowell had nothing to do with it which is why it's so fabulous.
I copied the lyrics (all credit given) onto a paper, put the paper under the windshield wiper of "her" car and asked her to marry me that night. 25 years and two kids later she told me, "It just didn't work out" (I looked at her with an look of incredulity and said, "WHAT? Were we on a 25 year DATE?!") Regardless, should I ever meet a new "her", I'll do the same ... I LOVE this song as the words are the greatest expression of love I can imagine.
@@academicjock The only way to get undying and unselfish love is to own a dog. They never tire of you.
That’s a fact.
Certainly is 😃😃
Happy Birthday, to the one and only George Harrison, we miss you.
100%
Always!
Every time thinking about our George! Thank you for your all nice moments...🏴

Nice to see George's amazing solo music isn't forgotten
Mikasacus I KNOW! he's so fucking talented, and i love your videos dude
Nice to forget George's amazing solo music isn't seen (HA!)
*THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON PID*
Mikasacus, George’s music was the most meaningful of all of the Beatles apart from yesterday
Never!
Never will be forgotten. I'm 51 years old now and I have my kids listening to his music and all the rest of the Great ones too.
Harrison's widow and son, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, held an online competition in which filmmakers were invited to create a video clip for "What Is Life". The winner would receive a $5000 cash prize and their entry would become the official video for the track, appearing on the George Harrison TH-cam channel and other media platforms. In November, Olivia and Dhani selected Brandon Moore of Oakland, California as the winner. Moore's video comprises dance interpretations by Emma Rubinowitz and Esteban Hernandez of the San Francisco Ballet, filmed in the streets and woods of the San Francisco Presidio.
Emma Rubinowitz left San Francisco Ballet in 2019, but Esteban Hernandez still dances there as a Principle.
The dancer's 'dance interpretations' were choreographed by the video's Art Director/Choreographer Dana Genshaft who was at the time a soloist at San Francisco Ballet.
The video scenes are quite close to each other and are located either side of Veterans Boulevard.
The actual location of each scene is -
0:06 going towards Upton Avenue
0:25 Kobbe Avenue, looking towards Upton Avenue
0:41 & 1:14 Fort Scott Community Garden, Wisser Court
1:43 & 1:48 San Francisco National Cemetery, between Main Drive and First Drive West
2:01 between the National Cemetery and Park Boulevard, with Veterans Boulevard in the background
Thanks for this... Was wondering about the girl and the location
@Louis EVAD Yes, so much I cried.
Is it just me, or does Emma Rubinowitz have a slight Zooey Deschanel vibe to her?
So this is what we watching
Still awesome in 2024!!!
i am physically disabled by a car accident 18 years ago since then, music is my support, thanks :-)
Awwww. I hope you're okay.

@@mgebi1 QUE SE MEJORE
Jesus dude, God bless and may you recover
Since George was always kept in the background while a Beatle, once they went on their own I believe that George was the best song writer of the bunch. His songs are spiritual and magic; I can listen to them over and over and love them more each time.
I listen this song over and over. Cant help it.
By his own admission, he never had a writing partner and got a late start but in my view, he was responsible for such high quality music and lyrics he eclipsed Lennon/McCartney. What a loss to lose him.
@buzz magister Extremely well put! :)
Esher Demos are the proof. He's my favorite.
Everyone should watch The Beatles: Get Back. It's probably a masterpiece. It details how talented the individual members of the Beatles were - George included, even as the youngest. Yoko Ono didn't break up the Beatles. They broke up because they all had too much creative energy to be contained in one band. Especially after 10 years of ridiculous success.
George Harrison's was the only celebrity whose death that I really felt personally . He deserved to live a long life. I'd heard he was ill and a couple days later I got up to go work and they were playing this song on AM talk radio and I knew immediately he'd gone . I decided to blow off work and just drove through the countryside listening to George's music
I felt Lennon's more myself. Also Leary's & Terence McKenna's as well but i loved George's songs like 'Within You Without' You the most :)
i Hear ya.This is unrelated to George but similar to your feelings. I live in QLD Australia, and first I heard at work that Steve Irwin had died, and then shortly after, I was at work and heard Peter Brock died, I just walked out. Twas devasting.
The best person, a truly gentle, hall of fame soul!
I feel kinda lucky because i born after George's death. Actually this is worse but...
At least i didn't hear it the day he died.
My condolences.
Her dance represents different stages of life. Lovely girl. Best thing they could have given George.
Wow, never thought of it that way, about the stages of life. Good catch!
@@sl4983 I just felt like an old perv😀
@@stevenichols7489 Why would you feel the need to tell others that?
I Agree.
It's a pretty amazing film clip to be honest. She spins through the grave yard of self doubt.
Is it just me or does this song sound very ahead of its time.
It does
Maybe the video helps making that impression.
Nah, it DOES. I had totally forgotten when it came out, went to look it up and just about fell over: NINETEEN SEVENTY/SEVENTY ONE!!!!! Holy cow. Yea... sounds like it could have been released today.
All the beatles songs are
@@cinnamonlizard4304 Please explain what you mean?
directed by Brandon Moore and features dancers Emma Rubinowitz and Esteban Hernandez!! Picked out as winners by George Harrisons wife and son :) Very talented people this , what a zest for life they show us!! Thats what Georges song is all about WHAT IS LIFE - LIFE IS FULL OF JOY , that s what Emma shows us here !!
Hans Broch thank you for crediting the dancers. So lovely and energetic! At first I thought this was an audition video for an dance/art school.

"All Things Must Pass" was released 50 years ago today.
And it will be in my ears today.
I bought it and still have the original vinyl!
Timeless LDS
That blows my mind. So I was 13. I didn't get into it until I bought a used copy when I was maybe 18, but I love the album.
Even with George Harrison, not here on earth... as soon as we hear him & his music instantly something special happened. ❤
This song is criminally underrated
ʟᴏᴡᴇʏ ʟᴏᴡᴇʏ yes this music is so underrated
As is George
Love it and why is this girl not famous in such a great song. Who is a she?
@@Ruby16663 just go down in comment section and you will find her name + home address ☺️
I agree only too well - this song is indeed criminally underrated.
I always said George is the most underrated Beatle. His songs are magic!
Underrated not
@@npant14 I'll second that. Why do people forever make that ridiculous statement about famous people, there was nothing underrated about George Harrison.
@@shamteal8614 Because ppl seem to forget about him. Also there were only 2 Beatles talked about all the time. I get it that George choose not to be in te lights like them.
Also it might be that a lot of ppl are not realizing that they have heard songs of him, without knowing it was his song.
@@RLHvanDijk I take on board what you are saying but still think it's a silly statement. When one thinks of the Beatles one thinks of them as a group.
He did some very wonderful songs. And I always had the vibe that he was the most intelligent Beatle.
"John or Paul?"
Me: "George."
Absolutely
Yes
Rip Ringo
without a doubt
Ringo
George was always the best Beatle but held back by the other two. His solo career and Travelling Willburys showed his unique talent. Always get emotional listening to him. Thanks George
While John and Paul had more success as solo artists, George was the BEST of the four Beatles as a solo artist.
The slight imperfections in the dancing somehow make it perfect.
That's just the purpose of the video, it's meant to be young and full of energy and free spirit
YES! Nowadays they would have done take after take and edited the crap out of it to get it perfect. But it IS perfect the way it is!
"True perfection has to be imperfect.. " NG
geofreyr My thoughts exactly!!!
I think they add to the attraction because it shows her to be human, like the rest of us.
I think she's a gifted dancer and the "imperfections" are deliberate.
When the Covid-19 nightmare is over, I will go on an extended roadtrip around the country with my girlfriend. This is the song that will be playing when I pick her up from her house. I swear this will happen
Stay safe .
I hope she dances like this one...wow.
:'( :')
Fuck yeah dude! Stay hopeful!
What a fantastic idea. Enjoy
Have a great reencounter, pal
For those of you who question the message and symbolism of this song, this song is a CELEBRATION of the "gift" of life! When she continues her dance alongside the Cemetary it is NOT meant to be disrespectful of those who have sacrificed their lives, but rather, her Dance is symbolic of FAITH in the reality of LIFE after DEATH! That LIFE TRIUMPHS over Death!!
If someone thinks its disrespectful then they are a nimrod and to dimwitted to comprehend an explanation.
We know what the song is about. I'd suggest that no one actually cares about the video. I'd rather see George himself perform it. The dance is nothing to do with anything. It just is what it is.
@@Beth-ve7ob "It is what it is" ??? how original you are. That's the catch phrase for when you haven't a clue. Video is another facet of the song, just like performers present to you during a live show. Go ahead and prefer a 2 dimensional piece of art. I prefer 3 myself, as do most people.
Love the song, have for decades. Hate the video. It's a WTF moment for me. Thank god I don't have to see the video when I'm cruising in the Ram.
I love this kind of dancing.
The question is ; what life would have been like without George.
Who needs a time machine....This is timeless.....George never left us.
No one dies.
It's an illusion.
The soul goes from one body to the next, like getting a new car.
That's called reincarnation.👶🧓💀⚰️>👶🧒🧔🧓⚰️👍
We’re the Time Machines. I dream this in detail.
Amen brother
OMG, George could pull out a great song. Nice to see his songs being revealed to a new generation.

"The female dancer in George Harrison’s “What is Life” music video is Emma Rubinowitz a member of the San Francisco Ballet, and Esteban Hernandez.
In 2016, George Harrison’s widow Olivia and son Dhani held a worldwide contest through A global video production platform to determine what filmmaker from anywhere would provide the video for Harrison’s 1971 song What is Life.
The winner was Brandon Moore from the United States."
>>I found Brandon online and thanked him for this video.
She sure looks a lot like Wynonna Ryder

Im not very Artsy but I love this video. Gives me hope in May 2020.
I thought the clip looked modern, now I know why.
Yeah. Had to say this was some insanely good dancing. It really vibes with the song.
Without a doubt, George was and will always remain a musical genius. You can listen to this song on repeat and it never gets boring. Thank you God for the Genius George.
This is literally, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful pieces art I’ve seen and heard in my lifetime. It’s a complete masterpiece. ❤️
Yes , lt is a fantastic interpretation of a beautiful song.

YES! I AGREE 100%
In his voice i simply hear The Beatles as a whole band, it's like they never separated.
He's like Adrock. Vital to the sound.
This could have been a Beatles song, just like "Junk" & "Maybe I'm Amazed" on Macca's 1970 album. They just split before anything happened to the songs and released them on their own albums. That's why a lot of the music the four released closely after the split sounds like it would be The Beatles music. Still composed in the Beatles spirit if you will.
there are few bands (but not that many) that no matter who singing it sounds like the group..
didn't matter who sang
it always sounded like the Beatles
Heard this song the day my brother passed away. I was in the car driving and had to pull over to cry. He was my best friend.

The female dancer is Emma Rubinowitz Ballet Dancer from San Francisco Ballet, she looks of Russian descent. I instantly fell in love with her looks, and dancing, and this music. The Male dancer is Esteban Hernandez, his smile lights up the video, an amazing Ballet Dancer from Mexico. Both Dancers are World Class the choreographer also from San Francisco Ballet is Dana Genshaft. This video was in it to win it, the director picked first class team to express this music, making it hands down a professional high caliber video you would expect for a musician like George Harrison of legendary fame.
Do you know if it was also filmed in SF?
I immediately thought of ballet, without the stage and costumes. I love the naturalness of it. Very warm.
Just amazing. It is so uplifting. Good job Emma.
I'm from California originally and thought I noticed the scenery to be from around North Bay Area, especially the military cemetery in GG Park. Do you know if it was shot there?
The Presidio of San Francisco.
I'm a sixty year old man and I cry every time I watch this
I know how you feel. I'm a sixty-one-year-old man and experience the same thing watching this. Take care, my brother.
I am 66 (as we're on the subject!) and well remember what George's music meant to me when I was a youngster. Beatles' numbers always recall the top deck of the school bus and the girls from the girls' grammar. Ah, the memories! At the time, here in the UK, this track -- and also George's _If Not For You_ -- seemed to be interpreted more often by Olivia Newton John than by the writer himself. She did a good job with them, I think.
Very emotional song, beautiful words of love
Im a 58 year old lady. it makes me cry too. just to be able to run and jump and be young and healthy would mean so much.
I am 59, and seeing these young people dance to George Harrison's music warms my heart. I saw Mr. Harrison sing this song in 1974. A very fond memory. Can you beat George Harrison, Billy Preston and Ravi Shankar for a first concert?
Beautiful young woman in yellow dress you really bring out more of the beauty in this rock masterpiece.
I don't care about anyone's opinion.
I REALLY liked this.
Bitches love sticks fuck u
Yass someone from the phandom who likes George Harrison
Read above: The gurl is 25.
Oh hell yeah. the song, George tapped into Keith Richards opening riff thing. And the dancer, she's just fantastic
Nobody cares about your opinion either
I cried when John died, but I bawled like baby on the way to work when George's death was announced. Us guitar players tend to be softies.
True ❤️
Gareth Beare Almost everything you’ve said in that comment is completely false. John becomes the most talented solo Beatle just because he was shot? That’s ridiculous. Also George Harrison was not the most musically talented or accomplished. That goes to Paul who could play over 50 instruments
Bless you
Gareth Beare I didn’t misunderstand your point. You worded it wrong. How else can you interpret “That terrible circumstance does automatically elect him by default as the most talented solo Beatle”
George was my favorite Beatle. Wonderful player, who always played what was right for the song. He was a great singer, as well, and had no trouble moving forward after the Beatles broke up.
Fellow guitar player here. It was depressing when he passed, and his passing had more of an affect on me than John Lennons'.
The "you" spoken of in this song is God.
that´s right friend GOD is life
My Sweet Lord.
🕊🌞❤️🔥🥂👏👋😇
This is my favorite George Harrison solo song, and some time ago my daughter Sofia who is studying Communications told me that she had to reproduce a famous video for a class of hers. I suggested this one, and she did and she one first prize in her class. We will be forever connected through it.
That is a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing that. I hope she's proud of her video... and grateful to you for suggesting it!
She now says it will be her wedding day dance song with her dad snif!
My daughter is also a Sofia. Thanks for this comment!
Great
Good for her and you
I wish George knew how thankful I am for him having ever existed.
I never existed in this world at the time time with him...
I have a feeling that he knows
as a child my hands didant open (genectic disorder shorter tendons) but going mad on the beatles and starting a beatles copy band,opened my left hand playing so much,,now its my main hand,even have to mouse wrong handed,i never got the fame i wanted,but i did get the music and learnt that even song writing leads to enlightenment,since witing loves songs we try to come up with the answers and go deep into it,and the answer to love is that we came to life to give it not get our share,,the highest form of love is selflessness our children teach us that,,YNWA
I didn’t exist in the time he was here but I have a feeling he knows. Wherever he is he knows. One day we’ll get to say thank you
@@shipwreckedhannah9345 this made me cry. thank you so much ❤
““The dancer really expressed unbounded joy, and managed to capture the spirit of “What is Life” through movement, which the director captured beautifully.” ~ Olivia and Dhani Harrison
Looked like a mixture of Patti Harrison and Maureen Starkey lol
A great scouser.
She really did do a wonderful job dancing!
My thoughts too, Karen. 👍
it is hard to believe that she is 60+ years old now!!!!
YES STILL AN GROVIE SONG EVEN AFTER SOME 54 YEARS ❤
Excellent choice by Olivia and Dhani Harrison for the video competition to this song. My first impression before any research was that it was made in the U. K., and while watching Emma Rubinowitz dance, I thought of a young Charlotte Rampling(being from California though, I can see plenty of California sunshine after the burning off of morning low clouds upon further review of the shooting sequence). Just a great job all around and I am sure George would have approved.
hueyjmedina0 who is the. guy though
Esteban Hernandez. He and Emma are with the San Francisco Ballet.
It's definitely San Francisco. It was filmed at the Presidio and Golden Gate Park.
Steve F The graveyard looks like Colma to me; I thought the grove of trees at the end was Coyote Point, though it could easily be the Presidio (haven't been there in decades)...
hueyjmedina0 I thought this girl was Harrisons granddaughter. I did check.
God! I miss George Harrison! 😢 RIP George 😇🙏
George was a wise man. He was independent and had a mind of his own. That allowed him to write and sing such good tunes, like this one. Here Come The Sun will not be matched.
Thankyou George for giving me music like this. We still love ya.
There never was,nor will there ever be another one like him. Thank you George Harrison for the beautiful gift of music you gave us !
as is any other human born on this planet. It does not make him special. It will not save his soul. He did not know or trust in Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. He trusted hare Krishna who is dead and in the ground. My Savior, Jesus Christ lives. He rose from the grave on the 3rd day. Happy Easter and Merry Christ mas. 🙂
News flash theres only one god but he has many faces and names no religion is better then the other when people think there god is better then someone elses thats when it all becomes dangerous how many people died in the name of Christianity. Just all around fuckin backwards like your god is my god u
LIL YACHTY IS THIS GENERATONS GEORGE HARRISON, O N G O D!!!
Easily 1 of the e top 10 musicians that's ever lived.
No one comes even close to George - the only person who was instrumental in both the Beatles and Monty Python. Even if all he ever did was financing Life of Brian that would suffice to guarantee his place in eternity.
I love how she purposely combined youthful clumsiness along with moments of professional grace…just wonderful to watch. And the boy chase girl ending absolutely punctuated the realism, yet initial innocence of “What is Life”
♥️
Yes. She and He are both Prima Ballerinas.
Wow. Your critique was as wonderful to read as video was to watch. Well done,!
@@haroldrichards1932 Thank you for the kind words:-)
I felt the same way! Perfectly done and I love the intended awkwardness. Made it so real and beautifully rhythmic.
dear deceased parents. thanks for letting me be born in 1961 - so i could have all this beautiful music to remember then, and now
'62
Shoutout from another ‘61 kid. Thanks Mom, Dad, and all the Grandparents!
Yes I'm very Grateful that I was born in 1956 The music of my Life the Beatles helped me thru alot of bad & hard times growing up. Music can be a healer. Now im a senior and I Still enjoy and Sing to my BOYS. I Love the Beatles. Strawberry Fields Forever🦁🎶❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💞💞

Me too!..Jan.2 1961
Imagine the music industry without people like George and the Beatles
Dancing, in youthful exuberance, by the graveyard; extremely poignant message about our small time on this Earth. Superb video...
It always brings tears to my eyes, every time.
I showed this to my wife and told her I'd like to think that is us dancing in the forrest together in an after life no longer burden by age or sickness.
tay segura 😢
May you both find peace … Hallelujah Hare Krishna
May PLEASE G-d protect you both for only goodness! (From a fellow human in Efrat,Israel)
Blessings to both of you!
Being married (to the same amazing woman) for 35 years,7 children and 21 grandchildren ,my great wish was to be old with her.I told her so often in so many ways how I appreciated her that she evidently understood I wasn't worth the fuss anymore! YET, I thank God for every blessed day of our former 35 year marriage. We don't get signed insurance policies in life.
What an audio visual expression of the beauty and playful innocence of youth. Reminds me when I was young and in love for the first time. Thankyou George..a beautiful aspect of the divine singularity.
Yes special song superb video !
Paul & John recognized George's guitar talent IMMEDIATELY, hiring him as the LEAD guitarist when he was only 15. It took a while for them to see he had WRITING talent as well, but they DID.
You do know that Paul knew George before he met John?
George joined the Quarrymen on 6 February 1958 - he was not quite 15 (his birthday is at the end of the month). Paul recognised George's talent as a guitarist immediately and introduced him to John. George did become a superb songwriter but much later than John and Paul. John was 17 and Paul was still 15 when George joined the group
martha
george was an extraordinary talent but they main reason he was hired was because he knew all the chords to a popular song of the time that john and paul hoped to play at gigs
Actually, George had a tough time getting his songs on records. He was a friend of Paul's from school and John thought he was too young to be in the band. Paul had George play some song that was considered difficult at the time and that sold Lennon.
By the time the Beatles broke up, George had enough material for his first solo album. Most of what was on it were songs John and Paul weren't interested in recording
He only became as good a writer as they were in 1969.
1971: George's great song and the last blast of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. Still worth multiple plays anytime. The answer to the song's question is as always: nothing. And the girl is adorable. Unfortunately, no video was shot for this back in 1971, so this will have to do.
I never did like Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. WTF was George thinking?
CaptKundalini Phil Spector's Wall of Sound was the best one could have when recording at the time. Many recording advancements today came from the Wall of Sound along with other artists.
Heard an interview with George in the late 90s about All things Must Pass album where he said something like, 'wow that's a lot of echo' which is what I always thought. So maybe later he had a few doubts too. And instruments drowning each other out. Love the recordings anyway but would like to have heard George Martin's production as he had a great touch for clarity and balance.
George did almost no promotion for ATMP aside from interviews. There were no promo clips for the two singles and he had no tour either. Still, it sold millions and was a spectacular testament to his talent as a writer and artist.
I didn't like some of Spector's work on ATMP... but I think he did a really good job on this track.. this was definitely one of the strongest songs on what was a great album.
"The Quiet Beatle" sure had a lot to say in this arguably top 5 of all time albums ever
"The Quiet Beatle" created the most influencial music of my life. From "Here comes the sun" to "Hear me Lord", he was on by side for a long long time ! And still is on my 69 y.o. anniversary ! R.I.P. dear soul brother.
Cloud 9 was the perfect final album too
@@PabloGarcia-ly7pm Agreed! I bought the cassette and cassette singles when they came out, good times
he was in my view the most intelligent of the beatles, he never produced "GARBAGE MUSIC"!!!!!
@@gregoryclemen1870 He had the best albums of all of their solo careers . I feel like after The Beatles he got involved in the American rock culture much more than the others. He was around everyone important that came from the folk-rock surge of the late 60s.
We are so lucky to have had George and the other Beatles. Can't imagine what music would have been without them. No wonder the younger generation are jealous of them.
Jealousy is one of the SEVEN DEADLY SINS - for a lot of reasons .
i miss george harrison.....
NYC Exactly... R.I.P. George....
I wasn't alive while George was.... :(
A gentle voice of reason in the maelstrom of the 1960's and 70's
The quite Beatle
I agree, miss him
I can't stop playing this song, I woke up with it in my head and it's been there all day.
the best songs do that. They effect the soul.
Oh my Gosh, that’s me today lol! Exactly!!😊
It's ace!
then you need a "frontal lobotomy" or..... a bottle in front of me!!! 😁
Me too..today i went right to my laptop when i rolled out of bed.
I tried to clean up my room while listening to this song. It endet up just being me just dancing and screaming out the lyrics.
Yes!!! I totally relate!!! 💞❤️💜😊💃
The energy of George’s music does lead one to forget what they’re doing/celebrate✊🏼
Ikr
Same here!!
Røskva Bager Schier me rn
Harrison appeared to be a selfless guy. Truly loved to perform for people of all generations.
I’m not really a fan of modern, interpretive dance, but I absolutely love this video. These dancers are amazing, Olivia and Danhi Harrison picked this one out of a number of entries, they chose wisely.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you're a George Harrison fan. One of the guys in Doublejumps introduced me to George's music so i'm helping spread the word ✌Peace
Yes the dancing is beautiful. The forest the garden, past the heroes cemetery all with love for the gifts of life. Innocent. God is Love.
@@user-qr9uh1fd8g Yes, I agree. I think your comment absolutely nails it!
@trevorsmith7753 Whether you and others like you are willing to accept or not, Humans are a part of nature!
if only olivia were truly wise and let louise harrison not pass away broke/poor, when she purposefully took george's sister out of his will to keep more money for herself, instead of sharing it with his sister who had petitioned to get their songs on radios, tv stations, making calls, sending letters, seeing how to break into the american market all to promote the band.
The dancing is marvelous, and I love seeing young people appreciate this gorgeous song!
The two dancing capture the exuberant riotous fleeting time of youth...
Members of the San Francisco Ballet
When I first saw this video years ago, I didn't get it, and now decades later, I totally get it. This might be one of the most joyous songs I know, and this video is perfect for it.
Dancing? A lousy Choreography for Ex- Ice- Skaters.
@@lepidopterarbezj angry troll
This man had life on point. The most underrated Beatle, what a legend.
In the movie "I am Sam", the work of George Harrison is discussed in detail, and with praise.
Look up on google----global truth project----click The Present. It answers all of life’s biggest questions and can turn this world right side up from the beginning of it. Nothing is more important than reading it.
Ample Official
You can’t overrate a Beatle!
He's underrated because his bandmates (apart from Ringo) and producer underrated him, and the masses followed suit like sheep.
Anyone who sees how beautiful an artist this man was knows.
DrTomoculus
I don’t know...
He wasn’t the type of guy who sought the main rung. He sat back for years before cracking and telling his band mates he felt useless.
Imagine what would have been if the Beatles never broke up! They would have had to release a six album opus of material that had built up!
It’s actually glorious (in one very very limited sense) that they did break up. Look at what we have!
Emma Rubinowitz-what a joy to watch when listenning to George Harrisons classic
Just think, you were alive at the same time as George Harrison. And if you weren't, he left this for you.
This is a very inspiring thought. Thank you for this new perspective and view!
I agree. “And if you weren’t, he left this for you.” That’s beautiful. Amen brother.
He died when I was 3
@@anirudhprathap12gmail hope you enjoyed his music
@@bigbadbith8422 the changes he has made in my life in the past year is a lot. I only discovered George Harrison's solo work after Covid lockdown. It really helped me a lot through those tough days. I am a Hindu myself. I was an atheist for the longest time. But George Harrison made me believe in it again. Certain things he says means a lot to me. I have got a lot of answers I was loking for from George. I just wished I knew him better earlier. But I guess nothing is never too late.
I like the idea of making new videos of songs that never had a real video before....if not just for the audio quality......also , I love the fact that young people are enjoying a classic song!
bronco devil This. I've heard a fair share of George Harrison's work before, but this video brought this song back on my mind and I gave me something new to share with people who didn't know his songs well.
bronco devil they arent, they're just going with the flow...fucking sheep-fish people
It's a new song but an instant classic none the less.
AndyAnimal it's more than forty years old
November 29, 2016 was a bit less than 40 years ago. Try again.
So many people see The Beatles as John and Paul, but he had such a profound influence on that band. Most of my favorite Beatles songs are actually the ones that he wrote. Just an amazing, amazing human being.
@@agoodpitch9 I’m not disagreeing with you at all, my friend. Just saying he’s overlooked and underestimated in some circles.
What about Ringo?
@@leonprowse5806The drum guy?
Jeff, here's a little bit tof George that you may like. th-cam.com/video/cK5G8fPmWeA/w-d-xo.html
