George wrote such uplifting music!! How can you not feel something spiritual listening to this (no matter what your beliefs might be). He didn't care who/what you followed, just that you aspired to be a good person and loved your fellow humans, and the world as a whole. RIP George.
Amen!
George was a kind soul..
Jeez, this song is about wanting to be dead, bro
@@thoru4367No its about wanting to connect to Christ/God
I took it as wanting to be with god but the only way to really be with him is to die. This song has always made me sad but I love it.
George created a hypnotic song that repeated over and over like a Buddhist chant and what do you know, it appealed to the masses and became a monster hit. George was amazing. He was always my favorite Beatle.
It's not budhist it's Hinduism chant
George evolved as a songwriter and by the end of the Beatles he was on par with John and Paul. Here comes the sun. That was his too.
He also wrote Something, which is a favorite of mine.
I Me Mine, Taxman, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
@@rayj1011 love this. i didn't realize George wrote it.
George was always a song writer just that Paul and John thought themselves the leaders, so
He didn't write nearly as much as Paul and John, but he had a few good ones.
The concert for George- Billy Preston signs this so beautifully.
^sings
Can you imagine how difficult it would be fighting for song space on an album when your band mates are John Lennon and Paul McCartney?!
While my guitar gently weeps is a George song. He wrote so many good Beatles tracks, and his is the best solo career in my opinion.
Well, yes and no. We will never know what John might have done. We had a taster on 9 October 1980, his 40th birthday. I bought it and was on cloud 9. He was back; I was ecstatic. Exactly 2 months later (4 days after my birthday) he was murdered. So up to a point yes, but we will never truly know. Breaks my heart. Oh and never, ever mention the murdering bastard's name. That's what he wanted, to have his name linked to John's forever. He's the assassin, the murdering bastard or the killer. Ok, so have a great weekend, wherever you are. x love, peace and music from East Coast of England.
Absolutely!
Love George Harrison but John Lennon Double Fantasy is pretty untouchable in the post-Beatles catalogs. Paul McCartney and Wings had quite a nice career. Linda was a big boost to Paul. But John Lennon's Imagine is the most important song post-Beatles.
@@Greg-io1ip all things must pass is my favorite post Beatles record. I also love George Harrison self titled, living in the material world, brainwashed, etc..
Then you get into the Wilburys records.
Not knocking John. Imagine is definitely a classic song. Working class hero, instant karma, and also etc... Still for me team George
Yes, absolutely. George wrote these songs. He grew as a songwriter but more importantly, as a person. Beautiful stuff. He was an amazingly talented guy. And people who knew him (family,friends, colleagues, etc,) loved him as a kind, generous and spiritual person. The real deal!
Okay you got me. I’m subscribing. I think what you’re referring to was a string instrument from India called a sitar which George learned to play and also that was a Hindu chant. “Harrison’s lyrical attempt to bridge a divide between Christianity and Hinduism was one meaning of the song.” George just wanted everyone to get along and live in peace☮️
Welcome aboard, these two do some great reactions!
@@kathybwell Yup I’ve been watching their reactions, giving them thumbs up and using the comment section for awhile. But I’ve been holding back to subscribe… until now
There's no sitar in this song, it's George playing slide guitar. He does use sitar in some of his songs, though 🙂
@@Alewifes_Husband 👍
Brian Jones (Stones) played sitar
I would argue for Harrison's ""All Things Must Pass" album as the best post-Beatle album by any of the group.
very difficult to disagree on that
George wrote all these songs he had them for years. All the singing you hear on my sweet lord is all George. All things must pass is a masterpiece.
To me, Ringo’s best solo song was Photograph, which was written by George.
An amazing gal broke up with me when this song broke out. We were only teens but she was 2 years older than me. A big deal when you're 14....15. She sent me a wonderful letter & of course- you guessed it, her photograph. Her name was Katherine......I called her Katie. Such a wonderful gesture- she said she would never let anyone else call her 'Katie' for the rest of her life. What a doll she was. I hope the years have been kind to her. And to you !
George wrote some of the most beautiful songs
Literally praising God in this song and chanting for universal love. Incredible song.
This was on the radio a lot in my high school years. Then it was just a pop song that I liked. Now I hear it more as a cry to God, Krishna, or otherwise. I hear it as a religious release. Thanks for doing this.
Exactly.
George Harrison also formed a group ,The Traveling Wilburys in 1988, 5 of the biggest singer/ songwriters George Harrison, Jeff Lynne of ELO, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, & Bob Dylan , they recorded 2 albums. "Handle with care" RIP George Harrison, Roy & Tom Petty. LEGENDS , GREATNESS🤟
the uniqueness of this song is that he took Hindu/Krishna spiritual chant and set it to a standard Gospel chord progression. Even though the concepts were foreign to a western audience, the song became number 1. Pretty amazing. Yes, George wrote almost all his own material. And he had 1 or 2 songs on almost every Beatles album - and many absolutely great ones. All Things Must Pass is an incredibly deep album. You should check out as much of this album as you can.
As a Christian, I love this song. Spirituality has no definitions, it transcends
George held his own when it came to writing music with the Beatles. Ringo also. Don't think for a moment that they didn't
It’s written like a trance .. same verses over an over .. it’s soothing
you have to do "All Those Years Ago" written for John after he passed away. Absolutely the best requiem for his friend.
George Harrison's songs reflect so much compassion for humanity. I just love this man and artist. Also check out "Bangladesh", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Isn't it a Pity". Thanks so much guys for posting this song!🍂
And check out All Things Must PASS.
All the Beatles had stand out solo careers; George was shing star in the rock world. There are many good choices for him - you can't go wrong. Love this song, great choice as always.
"Is that a slide"? We see you listening and getting it. You two gentleman have quickly become my favorite music reactors. Beautiful watching you guys discover the music of my youth. Magical times.
He wrote it. George was a great songwriter.
George had volumes of songs that he had written when he was in the Beatles. George was an amazing player and loved playing slide guitar. He was heavily involved in Indian culture and music. Hari Krishna!
Yes, Hari, Hari Krishna! I think I hear backup vocals referencing Shiva too.
Yes, this is George's writing. He usually got one or two songs onto a Beatles record, but in the later Beatle years he got a few more as his writing improved substantially. Here he chants Hare Krishna and Hare Hare and other Hindu phrases. George was highly spiritual and was a uniter of people in faith and had no difficulty bridging any such gaps.
The production on this song and the album All Things Must Pass was by the late Phil Spector, of "Wall of Sound" notoriety, producer of so much 1960's pop.
George was such a sweet soul and great musician, gone too soon.
This was, by far, the best triple album ever released. George had so much great music saved up from not being able to get it all out with the Beatles that only a few months after the break up, he had three albums of great material, and put it all out at once.
"Isn't it a pity" always makes me emotional.
Happy Birthday, Baby George. 25/02/1943
The quiet, dark and mysterious Beatle.
Or was he?
At one of The Beatles' first recording sessions with George Martin, they were asked by George Martin " Is there anything you don't like?" and quick as a flash George Harrison said
"Well for one thing I don't like your tie!"
John Lennon and Paul McCartney didn't want to record Harrison's music except when they needed more songs to finish the album. That's how the love song - Something (In The Way She Moves) was recorded written by Harrison, released by The Beatles and became a massive hit, still considered today as one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Harrison by many people is considered their favorite musician from the Beatles.
Actually, the Beatles song is just called "Something". George was inspired by the earlier James Taylor song titled "Something (In The Way She Moves)", who was on Apple Records at the time.
There wasn't enough room on an album for John and Paul, never mind George towards the end of the Beatles. George was great, but way behind John and Paul for sheer volume of great songs. He matched them twice on Abbey Road and that's about it. Same in their solo careers, take all the greatest 15 songs from each after the break up, you'll see what I mean.
That comment is really unfair. The producer and the record companies also had a say on what tracks made it onto the albums or came out as singles.
@Kieop NOT so much with the Beatles.They were so successful they ran the show by 1965-66.They got what they wanted when they wanted it.Pretty powerful position to be in.
George Harrison R.I.P. was a very talented artist with a beautiful soul..
George became a devout believer in Hare Krishna. He wrote and recorded this and many other songs proclaiming his faith and his belief in seeking a better life here on Earth. Check out Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth). It compliments this song quite nicely. :u)
"Here Comes the Sun" is one of his Beatles tunes that is a must listen.
George was hands-down my favorite Beatle. I miss his gentle soul.
He’s got two of my top five 🍻Then he just kept doing it 😎
All Those Years Ago still gets me
And George's best buddy in the Beatles Ringo is manning the drums on this one!
Love this song...if they sang this in church maybe I'd go!
Love it too...I don't go either 😁, unless I have a need for fellowship (which I don't), otherwise, the kingdom of heaven is within. go within! 😉
@@mojorider8455 😉
They have absolutely sung this in my church!
They do. But as usual, they pick and choose what to sing. It’s a shame because it’s such a beautiful song and was written as an inclusive way to praise
I’d be suspect of any Christian church playing this
Very happy to realize how many young guys can appreciate and enjoy George's spiritual and deep musical messages.
George was the youngest of the Beatles. He was only 26 when they broke up. Incredible.
"What is Life", "Give Me Love, Give Me Peace on Earth" are two more great hits by this wonderful songwriter/singer.
For a real beautiful rendition of this song take a listen at the concert tribute to George Harrison. Billy Preston plays keys and does the lead vocals on this while the other great musicians on stage pick up the background vocals. Talk about taking you to church. As you may know, Billy Preston played keyboards on a lot of their songs.
George was the best Beatle, rest his soul.....
This has been a favorite song of mine since. I was a kid. I cann feel the seventies when I hear this song.
Great album by George!
Please check out his band, The Traveling Willberries. He's joined by some extremely talented friends! "End of the Line" is a good song to start
Love George
The dude is the epitome of cool 😎 👌
Or even...epitome?
cheers all
As most of you know Billy Preston was called "the 5th Beatle" if you haven't seen the dedication to George Harrison look for Billy doing "My Sweet Lord" with Eric Clapton, George's son Dhani, Jeff Lynne to name a few...Billy Kills it with an over the top joyous performance both vocally & on the keyboards! Made George smile from up above I'm sure. Love your reactions guy's, you really listen to every note.
He wrote most if not all of these songs when he was still on the Beatles. A couple songs were written by other people. He wrote several great Beatle songs too.
My favorite song!
My favorite Beatle.
Harrison began writing “My Sweet Lord” in December 1969, when he, along with Billy Preston and Eric Clapton were in Copenhagen, Denmark playing with Delaney & Bonnie’s band. It was in the middle of a productive and spiritual period that saw George producing Preston’s “That’s the Way God Planned It” and the “Hare Krishna” mantra of London’s Radha Krishna Temple, as well as writing songs with a spiritual theme for his own planned solo record.
"Dark Horse" George Harrison
awainting on you all, the art of dying, id have you anytime, wah wah, and my personal favorite from the all things must pass album is run of the mill absolute BANGER
The album that is from (All Things Must Pass) is to this very day my favorite post Beatles release. Including anything by McCartney. And Paul has put out some great post Beatles albums.
He had so many great songs stashed from his Beatle years, the producer Phil Spector was amazed when he showed him the songs. They decided to do the All Things Must Pass album to use some of them. George brought in Ringo, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton and other musician friends to make the album. George was the spiritual one in the band, Paul was the love song pop writer, John the deep thinking politician, and Ringo the happy go lucky one.
George has always been my favorite Beatle.....
Listen to his song..run of the mill..shines
George Harrison was a devote of Eastern Spirituality and honored Jesus, Krishna and others. In this song, they sing the Guru Mantra, which pays homage to all of one's spiritual teachers.
George wrote his music and had a brilliant career as a solo artist.
True story: for a while I used to have severe back pains, and one day I happened to start listening to all things must pass (the album) and when that song came on, my back pain went away while I was completely entranced by the song
George wrote his own music and lyrics. He also wrote some of the best of the Beatles. See "Something," "Here Comes the Sun," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," among many others. You should check out the entire "Concert for Bangladesh."
Haven't heard this in a good minute, I always forget what a cool song it is, especially the guitar work. Sweet choice for a Friday morning (pun intended) - peace and love ☮
When I lost my beloved son, this song helped me so
Same for me when I lost my husband of 40 years. Peace and prayers to you 🙏
The "George songs" were always a highlight when I was young going through my mother's old Beatles records - "Something," "Here Comes the Son," and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are just a few examples. And any old clips of them live, his harmonizing is integral to the whole vibe. And when they started despite being barely 15, he was the most musically talented technically, as far as a proper guitar player. It is just part of being a Beatles fan to always root for George! In addition to the songs he did closer to the break-up, he came with some great 80's tunes like "I Got My Mind Set on You" and "When we Were Fab" then was essentially in the lead spot for the super group the Travelling Willberrys (i.e. "Handle with Care," "End of the Line," etc)and they had a great album with a few unforgettable tunes. His post-humous 3 part bio done on Showtime like 10+ years ago is a MUST WATCH, especially as it seems you are both really digging his music. Love to see ya'll giving love to George!
He had so much music that his first solo music was a triple album 😳
Not sure if you react to live performances but please take a look at the Concert for George that took place after his death and listen to the performance of ‘Something’ which is supremely good. The whole concert’s worth spending time on. Love your approach to reacting, no padding no talking over everything but just pure enthusiasm and clarity.
how can u not like it, typical George song catchy as . I think this is gospel rock
Produced by the BEATLES producer. George was allowed a song or two per album by the BEATLES - love his WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS on the BEATLES WHITE ALBUM.
He wound up paying the writers of "She's So Fine" for copyright infringement. He never learned to read music - he had transcribers - so he was limited to what was in his head
The Beatles were influenced and partook in Indian spirituality. George was singing Hare (ha-ray) which means praise, and he gave praise to Hindu gods, gurus and beliefs. Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, Vishnu etc.
George, the most beautiful Beatle. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for playing that you made me cry every time I hear Rest in Peace George Harrison 1969's being my first Hari Krishna they were all over California from the north to the South California
so glad your are reacting to some of George Harrison's music!!!! It is definitely one of my all time favorite spiritual songs, & in this list is also, Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum, and Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon 🙏❤🙏💛🙏 🙏❤🙏💛🙏 The generation back in the 70's (referred to as the Hippie generation) were based on love, peace, & spirituality, & if you stay on this path, you will hear a lot of songs that refer to many forms of spirituality!!!
What a beautiful human being, to be a devout Christian, and to take everything Eastern religion has to offer, and to just fold it in, to what is already known, with no dispute, or need to debate. It's love. There isn't any other thing any religion, doctrine, or belief has to offer, but love. Everything would be better, with more love, and less hate, regardless of who deserves which or the other.
Billy Preston and George were friends, he brought Billy into the studio sessions of Let It Be and then asked Billy how to write a gospel tune, that is why it sounds a lot like Billy Preston's music. Also, he gave it to Billy to record before he released it on All Things Must Pass.
I love George's vocal on this song. So much yearning and freedom of his soul, going up to Heaven. He was born to write and sing this song. This is a gift from George to humanity!
Said it before. George played some with Delaney and Bonnie near the end of the Beatles. So did Eric Clapton, Dave Mason and eventually Duane Allman. The musicians in Delaney and Bonnie were also Derek's Dominos and played on this album. Bobby Whitlock on keys, Jim Gordon on Drums, Carl Radle on Bass, Bobby Keys on Sax and Jim Price on Trumpet. Eric Clapton and Dave Mason also played on this great triple album.
You also had a lot of Joe cockers musicians for mad dogs and Englishmen come out of Delaney and Bonnie. Such a great incubator for talent. They made everyone that played with them better musicians.
Always on the playlist!
I enjoy ya'll so much. 😊
LOVE your reactions, keep it up!! I wanna put you on some of the best from my college days in the early 70's by Fleetwood Mac featuring Bob Welch (Rock and Roll hall of Fame, R.I.P.)...Hypnotized, Future Games and Bare Trees...all incredibly awesome tracks with special musicianship and production. You won't believe it's 50 years old.
I love all George Harrison songs. He is the best Beatles, by far!!!!!!!!!!
On Abbey Road he sings and wrote "Something" and " Here Comes The Sun.
Don`t forget "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and Eric Clapton play`s the solo guitar. It was a wonderful recording.
As an adult I remember the Beatles as a child
The background vocals at the end are part of a Vedic chant. He got really into spirituality after his visit to India and began incorporating transcendental meditation and Vedic chants and mantras into his everyday life and music. Eventually going on to co-produce the album "Chants of India" with Ravi Shankar.
i was just a little girl, riding in the back seat of the family station wagon mon at the wheel, when I first heard this song...I remember it so well, where we were, etc...i thought it was so beautiful.
George usually got to contribute one or two songs per Beatles album, and they were all great. Some of the songs on All Things Must Pass were ones he had written as a Beatle, but they had not made it to a Beatles album. (EDIT: Think For Yourself; If I Needed Someone; Taxman; I Want To Tell You; Within You, Without You; Blue Jay Way; The Inner Light; Only A Northern Song; Old Brown Shoe; While My Guitar Gently Weeps; Piggies; Long, Long, Long; I Me Mine; For You Blue; Something; Here Comes The Sun...Beatles songs written and sung by George...probably some more.)
You may be thinking of "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers -- which inspired this song.
George Harrison organised the Bangladesh concert in 1971 , beautiful.
George was involved in Eastern Mysticism, and Hinduism from his days as a Beatle. He was raised in a Christian family, but was always searching, as you hear in the lyrics of this song, where he say's (to Christ) "I really want to know you Lord, but it takes so long." Race car driver Emerson Fittipaldi, and longtime best friend Eric Clapton, are both Christians, and Clapton had been counseling George and telling him that Christ said there is only one way. "No man comes to the father except through me." When George was dying in the hospital with lung cancer, I guess everything got clear for him, and he and Eric Clapton prayed the sinner's prayer on his death bed. George admitted, that deep in his heart all of these years, he knew Christ was the truth.
What a wonderful story. I saw Eric Clapton on a video telling this story and it made him cry.
Thanks guys
Yea, I get to be first to comment!! Love y'all! Great song, brings me right back to that time in my life.
You should listen to the remake on the 30th anniversary edition. The music is much crisper, especially his slide guitar part, but his voice was pretty much destroyed from the throat cancer that would eventually take his life. George wrote most of the songs on the album. The opener was co-written by Bob Dylan, and i think there might have been a cover on the 2nd disc. George got sued over this song for copyright infringement for the song "He's so fine" which ate up a lot of his time and energy for a few years.
❤❤***You HAVE to listen to George’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ album- he really exploded after the Beatles broke up. Yes I agree his talent was suppressed by the incredible talent of both John and Paul. He wrote all of his own music and lyrics. George was then free to pursue his spiritual journey, R.I.P. 🙏🏼💗
Those guitar strums between the lead that Harrison plays are brilliant. Harrison had a guitar style that would be Very noticeable to anyone. Thank you both.
George also did one or two of the background harmony vocals. The sonics, and the vibe of the record was produced by my old friend Phil Spector.
CRAZY 😜 WORLD 🌎 WE ARE LIVING IN, WE REALLY REALLY NEED OUR LORD , TOO HELP US ❤❤❤
You are RIGHT!!! All the members of The Beautiful were influenced by Black music and George on this song did a Folk version of Gospel music with this song with a twist of his own religious believe which was Hinduism which the Lord of Life is Vishnu.
My Sweet Lord; one of the most beautiful songs. So simple, so pure, and his pleading to see/be with God feels like a yearning. Yep, we could use some of that ❤
His story about how he got the Traveling Willburys together is good
Yeah man, George had it! He was such a unique talent, all of the Beatles were unique talents. The way they grew up together was a true miracle. Yes, they had their differences but I truly believe that they loved each other. John got fed up with the business of it all, Paul was a "pop" king and really into the business of it, Ringo was the serious beat man, ask a drummer to play some of his stuff, and George was the spiritual soul. 45 years since I started listening to music and they are still my all time faves! You guys rock, I've really enjoyed following you!
George was magical in every way.😎
George had a long court case, when the writers of “ He’s so fine “ by the Chiffons claimed My sweet Lord was too close to their song, he settled up.
For “subconscious plagiarism.” What a joke. Regardless, the whole tone of My Sweet Lord is light years away from He’s So Fine. He was attempting to write a song along the lines of “Oh Happy Day.”
@@hmm3484 the chord progressions the exact same moods allot dif glad he settled .. glad we got both
@@hmm3484 Now I’m hearing a mash up with MSL and OHD in my head. 🤍
He didn't settle in the US, he lost. He settled in the UK after the the US loss.
