❤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 .❤🎉
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 the same album, and the "skip" in this song was caused by my sister and I playing around and hitting the record player. Now, 50+ years later, the skip has significant meaning now that she is gone.
@@cranez006-d5l Isn't it funny as well how when you hear the song on the radio without the skip...it sounds odd to you because it didn't skip where you expected it to? ;-)
I always thought George was the most underrated of the Beatles. His songs with the group and his solo music are outstanding. They never get old. They remind me of a better time in life.
@@jallen4458 I'd say Paul and John are kinda overrated. Let's face it John is only popular because he got whacked and Paul married into wealth. Mediocre musicians in their solo careers at best! Drum and rhythm my friend are the backbone of a good band. Ringo and George!
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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 see’s me again ❤️💕♋️🖤one day closer…🙏
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.
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!
About the video . . . George 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 have their entry become the official video for the track, appearing on the George Harrison RUclips channel and other media platforms. In November, Olivia and Dhani selected Brandon Moore of Oakland, California, as the winner.

@@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.
From the 2:00 point, I was reminded -- "Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. … Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. … And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow” (Khalil Gibran, The Prophet)
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.
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
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
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.
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
My friend I'm happy to hear your still with us listening to the inspiration of life, for me anyway. I am on the tail end of survivng a nasty covid hospitalization. I'm so fortunate to have music, it's memories bittersweet. And people I love. Bless you all.☮️🕊️🤟✌️
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.
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.
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
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”
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.
Auditioned on the top deck of a double decker bus to John Lennon with Paul McCartney there as his recommendation. Probably the most unbelievable audition of all time in the simple but magical Beatle way. Hahaha flaming amazing.
When I first heard this four or five years ago, I thought it was from very late in his career. I was shocked to find out it was from 1970, and probably written even earlier.
The glorious Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues & Rock of the 60's, 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music. Those of us who lived it knew it was a special era.
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!!
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.
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.
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!
"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.
@@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.
Single Mom, full time RN, always tired and worried...Georges music is my "go to" every morning when I stretch out..his music takes me somewhere beautiful and gentle and real...

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
@@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.
"JUST SHY OF PERFECTION" ..."THIS PATICULAR SONG I BELIEVE WAS/IS GEORGE HARRISON'S EXPRESSION OF HIS FAITH/ BELIEF'S"... "and considering ALL OF HIS CONTRIBUTIONS NOT JUST TO THE ART'S/MUSIC , BUT ALSO TO HUMANITY"... "WHAT A BLESSING TO US ALL"..."ALL OF HIS GIFT'S FROM GOD SHARED AND GIVEN TO US ALL"... "MAY OUR LORD ALMIGHTY GOD EMBRACE HIM WITH HIS ETEARNAL LOVE AND PEACE AMEN". 🙏🙏🙏🙏... ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
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.
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.
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.
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
Simple words, heartfelt joy, radiant optimism, pure love, I swear I run brimming with sheer joy whenever I play this beautiful tribute to unrequited love.
1:42 song says "what is life" while the girl dances in front of dead people buried in the background. Thank you for doing justice to the song, couldn't have done better.
I didn't wish to be morbid. But my comments were meant to celebrate life when at the moment there is little around. But keep on going. There is no alternative.
I hear Ya, my friend. Music used to mean something, telling a Whole Story in about 3 minutes. I grew up with this music and was fortunate enough to have been given talent by Our Dear Lord, and was an Radio Announcer for years. A DJ
Love this video. It not only captures George Harrison's beautiful soul, but also pays tribute to his love of nature (landscaping, in particular). What a wonderful way to honor such a remarkable human being.
Hearing this when young and now seeing it with a lovely young girl dancing reminds me of very sage advice...."Dance in the sunshine while you may. Dance without the pain of age, and remember this moment. Store it in a special place in memory....for there will come a time when recalling that moment will be priceless".
She's so perfect !!! She makes me think of the innocence of youth love and the joy of living. We're more blessed than we actually think we are, Life is only about love, nothing more.
The man really was a musical genius. He left us too soon but we were lucky to have him for the time we did. He helped shape rock n roll & it has enhanced all our lives greatly
Happy 80th birthday George! 🥳🎉🎂 The world misses you and we all thank you for giving us light and providing us immense happiness every time we hear your voice and music. You have made the world a better place and you will always have a place in our hearts. 🎶❤️ What Is Life and Here Comes The Sun are two of the most optimistic and beautiful masterpieces ever created and it’s all thanks to your blissful heart. Sending love from us all on your birthday.☀️🎸
There is not internet in hell or heaven for that matter. he did not believe in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of his sins. He believed in Buddha or hare Krishna. They are both dead and in the ground. My Savior... Jesus Christ lives. He rose from the Grave on the 3rd day.
A much beloved sister died this morning and I shared this video..George's faith shining light through his sorrows.. especially poignant for me is this girl dancing through the cemetery... Timeless and beautiful

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.
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
This sweeping anthem is one of the very best songs George wrote, simple a couple of cords, but a melody, strings and horns texturing the brilliance followed by a joyous chorus. Who am I without you by myside! It doesn't get any better!
Thank you Richard: definitely a great song! ... one my favorite. Now, about the chords, I love to play guitar while the song is playing : I can tell you there are actually seven chords.
When the Beatles broke up in 1970, the event pulled the rug out from the world's feet. In comes George Harrison with his masterpiece, "All Things Must Pass," to help us get through the loss. The magic involved with this song, my favorite Harrison record, is this...he makes something so instrumentally big sound light as a feather. This is a labor of love from start to finish. George Harrison was the ultimate peacemaker and I will always love him for it.
Its too bad the Beatles couldn't have held together long enough for a second "White album" in 1971, with songs from All things Must Pass, It Don't Come Easy, Imagine and Ram.
I love this! My inner teenager woke up watching this. Someone commented, "We all know what the song means." Apparently, not everyone does. Musicologists, Harrison biographers, philosophers, and theologians continue to debate it. I find the dance a touching interpretation. We leave home go out into the world, explore its playground, find others, and realize that death is another part of life. After all, this song appears on George's Album, "All Things Must Pass".
The only other thing I could add to your summary is, after finding another, she runs off (with her new found soul mate?) towards the future on their youthful journey as the song ends.
This is such a positive and witty piece of writing. I've said that I wish that I could have written Layla and these lyrics are right there with it. Strange how they were both loved the same woman.
James Smith Except that Lennon & McCartney had each other to help out. George not only had to write his songs alone, he had to do so in the shadow of one of the greatest songwriting teams in history. As a solo artist, the best of his work easily holds its own with anything John & Paul did after the band broke up.
Not only did he have to write his own songs, but George Martin, who was gunning for the "hit makers", had a certain prejudice against his song writing abilities in the early days. Also his contractual arrangements with Dick James etc. were poor ( eg. "Only A Northern Song"). Had a great education tho' and he did write some classics with the Beatles.
Me, friends, This Is THE real life chosen for YOU, EVERYONE!! But DARK EVIL got their Worries? Everyone of US/me too! Spouts it "I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY" , "SAY WHEN" ??? We WATCHING-OVER ALL of YOU, even the BAD.... JC/SOURCE/ really "S / HE" sent me back After Me Bail-Out in 100% DISGUST! Forced to Finnish the Assignement... WATCH W/Happens....IT be a Bit Rough, BUT "WOW" it all celebration Fireworks for U.S. & ENTIRE WORLD!!!🕶🌞SOON!!!
When this song was released I realized George Harrison was the best Beatle. Also, I do not know what or where this video is from, but it makes me happy. Her dance of life is beautiful and pure. 5 thumbs up! Edit: If you look a few comments below it explains everything.
He was humble and beautiful. I love the Beatles but GH was special and the best. He was also part of the best Super Group ever! The Traveling Wilbury's. His official name was Nelson Wilbury. Or Spikey Wibury. there are no official records of the name changes.
The question is......Do you love Jesus Christ and trust in him for the forgiveness of your sins? that is the question for all eternity and location, location, location. Heaven or the lake of fire on judgement day.
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.
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.
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.
When I was a kid, Paul McCartney and Wings was all over the radio. I developed a penchant for “silly love songs”. When I went to college, I became a Beatles fan. Never thought about George a lot. In my 50’s I discovered this song again. New found love for George
I've probably watched this video 100 times. I've always loved the song, but the video is so beautiful. It always lifts my spirits. I hope the dancers know what an amazing job they did !!!
James, that is just a super cool thing for you to say!! Whoever set this up did a GREAT job all the way around. Choreography, casting, costumes, perfect demonstrtion of the message of the lyrics. The Beatles and this young ballet lady from San Francisco are a gift from God. ruclips.net/video/cK5G8fPmWeA/видео.html
I think this music video goes well with the song. This girl is enjoying herself, making the most of her life, and then she makes a friend who has enjoyed himself as much as she has... This music video is truly awesome and has my respect... R.I.P George Harrison 1943-2001
Emma Rubinowitz and Esteban Hernandez were with the San Francisco Ballet as part of the "Corps de Ballet" at the time. They had lots of practice at interpreting music when this video was made.
I simply love this song and video!!! I can't even explain why. The young gal dancing is superb! Something about the way she dances. A touch of youth. A touch of innocence. A touch of simplicity yet complicated. A time of joy and happiness!!! Beautifully done; thank you!!!

Genuinely good.
PAUL
The Beatles [Paul, John, George and Ringo] were the best. As solo artists, I still think they were the greatest; nobody compared them.
Me too
He was cool, but John was mine. Ringo has the coolest name though.
George wrote the most beautiful songs of all time. Peace to his family.

i agree. i never really cared for the beatles; of course i like a few of their songs, but i love EVERY song george sang
Really? So who was the next most underrated Beatle? What an inane comment.
He had the most Soul and Groove out of all of them. Definitely can hear it with this song!
@@jallen4458 I'd say Paul and John are kinda overrated. Let's face it John is only popular because he got whacked and Paul married into wealth. Mediocre musicians in their solo careers at best! Drum and rhythm my friend are the backbone of a good band. Ringo and George!

So well said. This is coming from an old fart and hard-core Beatles fan. Saw them on Ed Sullivan Feb 64. God Bless and take care my friend.

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! 👍🏴

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.

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! :)
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
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.
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 😃😃
George Harrison the first exbeatle who was number one... All Things Must Past !!!
*Pass
All Things Must Past?
George Harrison was the Beatle who caught truth. He was a deeply spiritual man who held life lightly knowing he was just visiting.
🙏🎵💯😍🌎🌟✨
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

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.
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?
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 see’s 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.

Indeed.
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
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.

About the video . . . George 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 have their entry become the official video for the track, appearing on the George Harrison RUclips 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.
Anyone know how old Emma was at the time of filming this video?
Thanks for the explanation
Says she's 25+ so in 2016 video idk prob 19 or so.
Thank you! I thought this looked like the Presidio!
Thank you! I've been wondering about the story behind this video for years.
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.
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.
From the 2:00 point, I was reminded -- "Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. … Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. … And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow” (Khalil Gibran, The Prophet)

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.
I can honestly say I love this song as much today as I did the day it came out. And the video just makes it better. RIP George, and thank you.
Even with George Harrison, not here on earth... as soon as we hear him & his music instantly something special happened. ❤
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

George gave many of us a point of reference in our lives. Loved then, loved always.
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.
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.

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

There is no underrated Beatle.

Harrison appeared to be a selfless guy. Truly loved to perform for people of all generations.
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
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.
I sat with George in 95 at the Adelaide GP for 15 minuets talking away like id known him all my life, he was a great guy.
My favorite George Harrison song. What a guitar! I have loved this song since I was a little kid 1972. R.I.P.
George is a Hindu, so I’m sure the song has nothing to do with the Christian Creator.
same here,my friend.. RIP George
I love the slide guitar in the background on the last verse.
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
George Harrison wrote a lot of excellent songs. This one give me a fresh feeling.
Oh Yes
Auditioned on the top deck of a double decker bus to John Lennon with Paul McCartney there as his recommendation. Probably the most unbelievable audition of all time in the simple but magical Beatle way. Hahaha flaming amazing.
When I first heard this four or five years ago, I thought it was from very late in his career. I was shocked to find out it was from 1970, and probably written even earlier.
I want to be dancing along side this woman with her joyous exuberance!
@@keythdanielsen5533 Of course!
The glorious Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues & Rock of the 60's, 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music. Those of us who lived it knew it was a special era.

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.
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.
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.

"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.
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!
"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.

The winner would receive a $5000 cash prize and their entry would become the official video for the track, appearing on the George Harrison RUclips channel and other media platforms. In November, Olivia and Dhani selected Brandon Moore of Oakland, California as the winner.

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
God! I miss George Harrison! 😢 RIP George 😇🙏
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.

"MAY OUR LORD ALMIGHTY GOD EMBRACE HIM WITH HIS ETEARNAL LOVE AND PEACE AMEN". 🙏🙏🙏🙏... ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
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. ruclips.net/video/cK5G8fPmWeA/видео.html
Totally agree! George was the best to me ❤️💔🌟
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.
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
Simple words, heartfelt joy, radiant optimism, pure love, I swear I run brimming with sheer joy whenever I play this beautiful tribute to unrequited love.
1:42 song says "what is life" while the girl dances in front of dead people buried in the background. Thank you for doing justice to the song, couldn't have done better.
It´s sad Yogesh, but death also belongs to life, that´s life, but I ´d like if George would be alive.
I didn't wish to be morbid. But my comments were meant to celebrate life when at the moment there is little around.
But keep on going. There is no alternative.
@@pavelkratochvila6157 exactly I agree
Looks as if it is a military cemetery.
Two military officers' kids lived there, literally. I know because I lived on same base...
Grew up with this music in the 70s. No internet, streaming,social media, cable or cell phones.
Damn I was lucky
Ya lo creo😊
Me too.
I hear Ya, my friend. Music used to mean something, telling a Whole Story in about 3 minutes. I grew up with this music and was fortunate enough to have been given talent by Our Dear Lord, and was an Radio Announcer for years. A DJ
We were truly blessed. Didn't know how good we had it
Love this video. It not only captures George Harrison's beautiful soul, but also pays tribute to his love of nature (landscaping, in particular). What a wonderful way to honor such a remarkable human being.
....Not to mention his love of PRETTY,YOUNG WOMEN.....Just saying. Rest in Peace, George.
@Sandra Maragulov it's so groovy
That vegetable patch at 1:15 must be George's, no? He loves gardening.
Looks like it was filmed in the US so I doubt it's George's garden.
@@prappsy Presidio in San Francisco. Once an army base (going back to Spanish days) now a National Park.
All this music, passed over by John and Paul. Such enormous and misplaced egos! George was a mastermind after all!
The only interpretive dance I’ve ever seen that conveys the song.

Hearing this when young and now seeing it with a lovely young girl dancing reminds me of very sage advice...."Dance in the sunshine while you may. Dance without the pain of age, and remember this moment. Store it in a special place in memory....for there will come a time when recalling that moment will be priceless".
Sage advice indeed!
First time hearing this quote and it is very true. Thank you for posting this sage quote.

The horn section is fantastic on this song. And the girl in this video is very beautiful.

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.

Exactly my friend, exactly.
He was my favorite for sure.
They were all great.
There is not internet in hell or heaven for that matter. he did not believe in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of his sins. He believed in Buddha or hare Krishna. They are both dead and in the ground. My Savior... Jesus Christ lives. He rose from the Grave on the 3rd day.

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
What I know, I can do
If I give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
Oh, tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
What is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
Oh, tell me, what is my life without your love?
George's lyrics can often be read as a prayer as well as a romantic love song. This is a prime example.
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.
Wooowwww... wonderful choreography!!! Awesome dancers!!! This song is iconic!!!
This sweeping anthem is one of the very best songs George wrote, simple a couple of cords, but a melody, strings and horns texturing the brilliance followed by a joyous chorus. Who am I without you by myside! It doesn't get any better!
Thank you Richard: definitely a great song! ... one my favorite. Now, about the chords, I love to play guitar while the song is playing : I can tell you there are actually seven chords.
you can also thank Phil Specter for much of the sweeping anthem.
@@phishfearme2 No one should thank Phil Specter for ANYTHING, as he is a murderer. George needs only George to be good.
Always play the Beatles songs but best of all I loved John lennon songs he is greatly missed best singer Beatles
Quite a few chords actually! And some pretty quick chord changes!!! Not a beginner song for sure!!! I also love it!!!
Definitely one of Georges best songs. He was so talented and so missed.
Mega Talent. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇩🇪
I love how the chorus propels this song to the next gear, just makes you feel so good...
No doubt
His best IMO. And the best song by a Beatle after they broke up.
When the Beatles broke up in 1970, the event pulled the rug out from the world's feet. In comes George Harrison with his masterpiece, "All Things Must Pass," to help us get through the loss. The magic involved with this song, my favorite Harrison record, is this...he makes something so instrumentally big sound light as a feather. This is a labor of love from start to finish. George Harrison was the ultimate peacemaker and I will always love him for it.
well said don,rock on brother!
Its too bad the Beatles couldn't have held together long enough for a second "White album" in 1971, with songs from All things Must Pass, It Don't Come Easy, Imagine and Ram.
Amen. Beatles forever; George forever.
My sweet Lord what is life are better than other of what the other put out they all were good but those two. I. Think in my opinion where the best
Dilute the Beatles by four and you STILL get great music. Try doing that with any other group.
I am so jealous of George’s talent. What happiness he has delivered to us!
I love this! My inner teenager woke up watching this. Someone commented, "We all know what the song means." Apparently, not everyone does. Musicologists, Harrison biographers, philosophers, and theologians continue to debate it. I find the dance a touching interpretation. We leave home go out into the world, explore its playground, find others, and realize that death is another part of life. After all, this song appears on George's Album, "All Things Must Pass".
THIS song and this young lady are, simply put, a message of hope for virtually everything good about life!
The only other thing I could add to your summary is, after finding another, she runs off (with her new found soul mate?) towards the future on their youthful journey as the song ends.
This is such a positive and witty piece of writing. I've said that I wish that I could have written Layla and these lyrics are right there with it. Strange how they were both loved the same woman.
Excellent interpretation. I saw similar progression from little uncoordinated girl to mature lady falling in love.

This song was just one of his finest recordings. He was the best when it come to writing music
I've always said that John and Paul could not hold a candle to George when it came to songwriting.
Yes you told the truth there Argyle Groove I always did like George's music over anyone else in the Beatles
James Smith I agree, if he wouldn't have been a late bloomer he would have been, overall, just as good
James Smith Except that Lennon & McCartney had each other to help out. George not only had to write his songs alone, he had to do so in the shadow of one of the greatest songwriting teams in history. As a solo artist, the best of his work easily holds its own with anything John & Paul did after the band broke up.
Not only did he have to write his own songs, but George Martin, who was gunning for the "hit makers", had a certain prejudice against his song writing abilities in the early days. Also his contractual arrangements with Dick James etc. were poor ( eg. "Only A Northern Song"). Had a great education tho' and he did write some classics with the Beatles.
Can't watch this too often. Tears and joy. Being human.
Genau das fühle ich auch, wenn ich diese Musik höre und das Mädchen sehe. Gruß Roland.
I know 😢
Me, friends, This Is THE real life chosen for YOU, EVERYONE!! But DARK EVIL got their Worries? Everyone of US/me too! Spouts it "I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY" , "SAY WHEN" ???

That's all the more reason to watch and hear it Again and Again.That's nothing to be ashamed of.😂❤😊😢😂❤😊😢
When this song was released I realized George Harrison was the best Beatle. Also, I do not know what or where this video is from, but it makes me happy. Her dance of life is beautiful and pure. 5 thumbs up!
Edit: If you look a few comments below it explains everything.
My favorite Beatle.👍👍
There is no best Beatle in my opinion. I wouldn’t want to change one ingredient in the sauce.
He was humble and beautiful. I love the Beatles but GH was special and the best. He was also part of the best Super Group ever! The Traveling Wilbury's. His official name was Nelson Wilbury. Or Spikey Wibury. there are no official records of the name changes.
@@edgarrodriguez2332 "I'm stirring it, I'm stirring it." Goodfellas.
@@lonniemcguire1343 lol, you have to stir the sauce...
My son and I danced to this at his wedding this past December.It was a crowd hit! We love George Harrison! Memmories!♥️
How beautiful is that? Thanks so much for the idea, when my daughters get married I'm going to make a very strong suggestion! :)
How wonderful!
The question is......Do you love Jesus Christ and trust in him for the forgiveness of your sins? that is the question for all eternity and location, location, location. Heaven or the lake of fire on judgement day.
Love it!!
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv The question is.........what does that have to do with this video.Religion is a private thing to many people including me.
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.
When I was a kid, Paul McCartney and Wings was all over the radio. I developed a penchant for “silly love songs”. When I went to college, I became a Beatles fan. Never thought about George a lot. In my 50’s I discovered this song again. New found love for George
SAME!!!!
One of the best songs in history.
I've probably watched this video 100 times. I've always loved the song, but the video is so beautiful. It always lifts my spirits. I hope the dancers know what an amazing job they did !!!
@@shellywilcox4262 Well the estate of George Harrison sure does! And I also keep returning to watch this video, they're so great!
Of all the Beatle's works .. why is this particular song so impactful? Thank you George Harrison.
It's a masterful composition and infectious beautiful melody
It's a solo hit isn't it? We're any of the other Beatles involved with this song?
I believe-
It's because it was from George's heart.
Because I believe
It was written from George's ❤️

It is not a Beatles song although it IS a song from an ex Beatle.
My wife and I have been married for 25 years, and this has always been the song that catches up all of how I feel about her.
Awww that's lovely ☺
James, that is just a super cool thing for you to say!! Whoever set this up did a GREAT job all the way around. Choreography, casting, costumes, perfect demonstrtion of the message of the lyrics. The Beatles and this young ballet lady from San Francisco are a gift from God. ruclips.net/video/cK5G8fPmWeA/видео.html
Give it another 25.
This song, along with the video, makes me happy for some reason 🙂
Kinda just melts everything away
I think this music video goes well with the song. This girl is enjoying herself, making the most of her life, and then she makes a friend who has enjoyed himself as much as she has... This music video is truly awesome and has my respect...

What a haunting voice George has. It reaches into your soul.

And beautiful, dark, dark brown eyes that reach into the soul
Emma Rubinowitz and Esteban Hernandez were with the San Francisco Ballet as part of the "Corps de Ballet" at the time.
They had lots of practice at interpreting music when this video was made.
Thankyou George for giving me music like this. We still love ya.
I simply love this song and video!!! I can't even explain why. The young gal dancing is superb! Something about the way she dances. A touch of youth. A touch of innocence. A touch of simplicity yet complicated. A time of joy and happiness!!! Beautifully done; thank you!!!
Well said! I love that Olivia and Dhani Harrison were involved too. Also makes me think of my dancer/daughter who is living abroad now.
Well said! There is so much emotion and energy in this video!
Great song
The fact that there are still recent comments proves how amazing this song is.
