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.
@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.
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.
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!
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. 😊
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"
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 😢!
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.
@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.
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 🙂
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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. 🇺🇸
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."
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
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.
The name "Lord" can be interpreted in many ways, I had always seen it as a double entendre - "lord" meaning the love of his life, his wife, he puts her on the highest pedestal....while giving the notion of a higher spirit. The harmonies are shouting out different mediation mantra's and or saying hallelujah in other languages.
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.
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.
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.
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.
George Harrison was one of the founding musicians of the "One World" movement, a multiculturalist movement that also included such visionary musicians as Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Laura Nyro among others. In My Sweet Lord, Harrison uses his gorgeous bottleneck slide guitar solos to fuse the African-American blues/jazz tradition (Elmore James/Charlie Christian), Hawaiian folk blues, with the South East Asian (India/Pakistan) classical tradition (Ravi Shankar, et al.) . He did all of his own backing vocals, fusing world pop feel with the African-American gospel genius of call-and-response. In his religious chants in the fadeout,Harrison unifies "Western" spirituality with "Eastern"devotional themes, finding common ground in Indian/East African religious incantations and "Western" ones. Tellingly, Harrison was a multiculturalist not only in his music but also his most intimate parts of his life (his widow, the beautiful and formidable Olivia Arias, is a Mexican-American immigrants' daughter who grew up in East LA, and he was a protege under Indian classical masters such as Ravi Shankar). The most striking thing about the multicultural, One-World vision of this song, I would argue, is that it is a complete refutation of the Trump/GOP racist vision of the world. But George Harrison recorded this song in 1970, over FIFTY years ago. That's how truly woke he and his fellow One World visionaries (Nina, Stevie, Marvin, Bob, etc.) really were.
This is obviously an epic song! As you may or may not now, the producers and writers of the song He's So Fine by The Chiffons sued George Harrison and his team for copyright infringement! I haven't kept up with the story, so I don't know how it turned out! I'm sure someone will enlighten me! Later groovy cats!
George Harrison lost the lawsuit he acknowledged that the songs were similar and that he had heard the other song before but feels that it was subconsciously that he picked up the melody
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!
George was very religious in his on way! this is a great song .Thank you Angela
Thank you for reviewing this. An important song for many.
I’ll NEVER forget him in Concert!!! The ultimate best! Love you George 💗
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krisha Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare 🕉🙏
One of my all time favorite songs. Hallelujah!
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.
He seemed like a quiet Beatle, he wrote “Give Me Love”… That was my fav of his….
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."

Wow this song brings back memories but good ones thank for this 🎵
Thank you george for your beautiful songs through your life! You were so talented!
still brings out the tears
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.
The quiet one who wrote some of the world`s most beautiful songs.

Love this song, i have just spent a week learning this on guitar, just the easy strumming part.
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.

My favorite Beatle 🤗
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.
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.
My FAVORITE song of all time!!!!!!!!!!!
I really love this song!
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 it when the tambourine kicks in

I hope you do/react to his "Here Comes the Sun".....George was great :) (...he was still a Beatle, but..)
The "Quiet Beatle" was my fav.
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.
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 love this song Because it Melds Religions
Easily the best song featuring hare krishna chants.
lol
This song is more than religious, it is spiritual
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
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.
Good Reaction but you did not seem to notice the ever-changing images of George thru' his life :)
Good pick. My favorite from Harrison.
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.
The name "Lord" can be interpreted in many ways, I had always seen it as a double entendre - "lord" meaning the love of his life, his wife, he puts her on the highest pedestal....while giving the notion of a higher spirit. The harmonies are shouting out different mediation mantra's and or saying hallelujah in other languages.
You are one beautiful lady to watch when you're enjoying your tunes.
THATS HEAVY😎
Great!! 👏🏻👏🏻😃😃
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.
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
(Class of 71) FSIS,Lawton,Okla.
Its amazing watching younger people not knowing the biggest hits of the 70's!😱
Nina Simone did a great cover of this with the Bethaney community childrens choir
Ex-Beatle George. The Beatle members did well with solo careers after the Beatles split up in 1070
great song. reminds me of high school and pretty girls like yourself.

Answers the question about why the pagan Romans built the Pantheon (to every belief) temple, so well constructed it stands to this day
George Harrison was one of the founding musicians of the "One World" movement, a multiculturalist movement that also included such visionary musicians as Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Laura Nyro among others.
In My Sweet Lord, Harrison uses his gorgeous bottleneck slide guitar solos to fuse the African-American blues/jazz tradition (Elmore James/Charlie Christian), Hawaiian folk blues, with the South East Asian (India/Pakistan) classical tradition (Ravi Shankar, et al.) .
He did all of his own backing vocals, fusing world pop feel with the African-American gospel genius of call-and-response. In his religious chants in the fadeout,Harrison unifies "Western" spirituality with "Eastern"devotional themes, finding common ground in Indian/East African religious incantations and "Western" ones.
Tellingly, Harrison was a multiculturalist not only in his music but also his most intimate parts of his life (his widow, the beautiful and formidable Olivia Arias, is a Mexican-American immigrants' daughter who grew up in East LA, and he was a protege under Indian classical masters such as Ravi Shankar).
The most striking thing about the multicultural, One-World vision of this song, I would argue, is that it is a complete refutation of the Trump/GOP racist vision of the world.
But George Harrison recorded this song in 1970, over FIFTY years ago. That's how truly woke he and his fellow One World visionaries (Nina, Stevie, Marvin, Bob, etc.) really were.
Musically, I think his music was the best out of all the Beatles solo careers. Lennon just became something so much bigger than music.
You need to listen the version that Billy Preston did during a memorial concert to Gerorge.
- It's SUPER religious !!!
Both :
* Christian ..
... and ...
* Hindu ..
Thank you
George was the best beatle. The best songs are his.
HE IS THERE
This is obviously an epic song! As you may or may not now, the producers and writers of the song He's So Fine by The Chiffons sued George Harrison and his team for copyright infringement! I haven't kept up with the story, so I don't know how it turned out! I'm sure someone will enlighten me! Later groovy cats!
George Harrison lost the lawsuit he acknowledged that the songs were similar and that he had heard the other song before but feels that it was subconsciously that he picked up the melody
Harrison had to pay up. But yeah still a great song.
It's a spiritual song 4 sure
nice song❤
