Much as I love the final Beatles' song "Now And Then", I think this would have been just as strong a candidate for the final song... would have been pretty cool if, instead of "Love Me Do", they had included this as the B-side (or even better, made both songs as a double A-side)... "Now And Then" was a great final tribute to John, and this would have been a great final tribute to George... for that matter, I'm not sure why they didn't re-work a George song too, even one of his weaker songs like "Dehra Dun" would have worked well, given the context That said, Walrusz' version itself right here is an amazing tribute to George! He nails George's slide guitar perfectly, this sounds like it could have been on Cloud 9!
"Fear of Flying" is a cover of a Charlie Dore song recorded by George Harrison in the 80's in an acoustic version, that was played on BBC by Olivia Harrison. The version here has a studio backing added by Walrusz.
To be honest, this should have been the B-side of "Now And Then"... they fucked up the A-side bad enough (by not including the "I don't wanna lose you..." falsetto part by John), this would have made a perfect B-side (even though John wasn't around to perform on it, Paul and Ringo could have... John rarely played on George's songs anyway)
Feeling close to George who has kept his sense of humour and still writes and plays songs in spirit . Seems like yesterday I was screaming with others at the Xmas Beatles Show in Hammersmith !
This is truly amazing work! You’ve made George proud, if I can say so. :) Also, you included my favorite George moment at 2:04 ... when he’s being interviewed for his 21st birthday and he tells everyone that it’s the interviewer’s birthday too. Sweet boy. :)
I thought I'd heard just about every song by George Harrison both released and unreleased but don't recall ever hearing this before. Did it ever appear anywhere commercially available? Great song.
It's not official, it's based on a demo recording that was partially played on the BBC a couple of years ago, just guitar and vocals, and the rest has been added (with much taste) by walrusz, I guess. Great work ! Original demo there : ruclips.net/video/UfFdIe0ljYw/видео.html
Great job, Walrusz. As some-body else said, it is like having a new Hari single. I am wondering, have you ever thought of helping George finish his version of Dylan's Abandoned Love? It probably could use a little love and care.
I've done LOTS of original music over the last 10 years or so, thanks for the interest. Here's one I just finished a few weeks ago:ruclips.net/video/Wgm_AqpBOL8/видео.html
Harrison casually recorded a bit of this Charlie Dore song sometime in 1979. I filled it out in arrangement and instrumentation in my home studio last year.
@@walrusz Talk about an understatement! You took a minute long demo and turned it into a very believable-soubding George song. The self-titled album from '79 is my favorite album of his and this would fit perfectly on it. Amazing work, Sir.
@@daveidmarx8296 Thanks Dave! the 1979 LP is my favorite too. The song Blow Away itself is one of my all-time favorite songs. And that is saying A LOT! It still gets me emotionally to this day.
“One dream that really sticks in my mind is where an aeroplane came zoomin’ down and crashed in front of me. Your readers might have guessed that ‘cos I don’t like flyin’! Anyway, the plane crashed with a big explosion, and all the fuel flew through the air for miles away. I jumped away and lay flat on the ground to protect myself, but all this fuel was aflame, and it landed on my legs.” He had started to speak quickly, reliving the event, moment by moment. I must have looked horrified at his grisly description because he looked up and grinned: “It was all funny, though. Me legs were burnin’ but they weren’t like hurtin’! I was sort of shouting: 'Ooh, ooh, ouch!’ and things, jumpin’ about all over the place like I’d sat down on a hot stove. All the hurs on me legs were burned off and me trouser legs were in tatters. But don’t ask me how it all ended. I think I woke up after that - 'cos I was feeling a bit warm, naturally.” He walked across the room and poured himself a Coke, allowing it to trickle coolly over the chunk of ice that bobbed up and down in the glass. “Me dreams are usually a bit mad, y'know, and I also think a lot about people I know in real life. While I’m having a dream, all these people are passing through the story, or just standing by, watching. I dream about weird things, like houses with distorting mirrors in them. Or people walkin’ around with pan-lids on top of their heads. Don’t ask me why. It’s all a bit funny. Another funny thing is, I dream about holidays a lot, like Paul. I’m always recollecting the times when me mum and me dad and I would go camping. That’s always good for a laugh! 'Ere, camping works out quite cheap, y'know. The cost is next-door to nothing, specially if you’re a hitch-hiker. I remember Paul and I lasted almost three weeks on two pounds, ten shillings (seven dollars) sleepin’ in fields and things. That’s for real - 'onest! More people wanna try it.” I asked him if most of his dreams were the laugh-and-be-happy kind, and he roared out laughing at the thought. “Well,” he said as he held onto his drink, slurping it around in the glass, “…you could say some are comedies - and some are thrillers!” - Beatle Dreams, Hit Parader (1966) (Source: harrisonstories)
Always love your work with George’s demos. Is there any way you could share high-quality files of your recordings, especially for some of the older ones that are not as clear sounding on here?
Send me your email address to my Mike Stratton jingles website and I'll see what I can do. Put Harrison's name in the title of your message to make sure I don't miss it.
@@walrusz I think you could turn "Tell Me..." into an atmospheric, quasi-instrumental cross between "Blue Jay Way" and "Marwa Blues". Your taste and talents are definitely to be trusted. You've done AMAZING work with George's songs!
@@walrusz Hope you've been well! Just had one more thought on TMWHHTY: Maybe its sparse composition could be joined up with the unused bridge sections from Paul's "The Song We Were Singing" home demo (where they seem like another song altogether), to give us the latter-day McCartney/Harrison co-write that never happened.

Harrison's people should get in touch and ask to put this on their official page. It's so brilliant
I would LOVE it if Harrison's people heard this!
I love if Dhani found and released all of his unreleased stuff!!

Great idea1
George always had beautiful eyes. Such a soulful look.
I miss George and the light that surrounds him 💕
Un'altra bellissima canzone che scopro solo ora, grande George!!
Pourquoi ne pas faire un disque de toutes les chansons inédites comme cela pour nous il reste toujours vivant ❤❤❤

Super! freshly released, a song by George Harrison that comes to us from internet space. George comes alive again for a few short moments. Thanks. 😎
Thanks Ralph!
You have no idea how much I love watching old video clips of my sweet Georgie 😍 he is so precious 🥰
Shut up
Great job, Walrusz, it's like having a new George record out. Appreciate what you do.
Well done...You capture the vibe of George and Jeff Lynn well. I always liked Jeff's full production sound with George's twang.
Thanks Jeff!

Wonderfull song! Great guitar! George forever!
Thanks!
I Love George and miss him so much.... XXX

Feeling close to George who has kept his sense of humour and still writes and plays songs in spirit . Seems like yesterday I was screaming with others at the Xmas Beatles Show in Hammersmith !
I love this song. It's one of his best. I can think of several albums it would have been his favorite song from.
Wow this is a great song. And great job with the backing. Sounds totally authentic.
Thanks Matt!
Always smile at George's appearance in the Rutles.
Nádherná písnička ❤❤
A great backing track to this wonderful unreleased gem

George Harrison è un eroe perché ha saputo sopportare Paul McCartney, che è un genio, ma che doveva credere al genio creativo di George.
EXCELLENT STUDIO AND ARRANGEMENTS WORK!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!
Thanks Estudio!
George est le meilleur.
Yes YEs YES Walrusz, keep adding to these rare songs, it's awesome to hear these tracks fleshed out ;-)
Please do more of these! They are awesome

Great job, Walrusz. As some-body else said, it is like having a new Hari single. I am wondering, have you ever thought of helping George finish his version of Dylan's Abandoned Love? It probably could use a little love and care.
Hi Raymond, maybe Abandoned Love. But if I do another I think the next I'll try to do something with Dera Dhun.
@@walrusz Absolutely! That is happy that news, W. I hope you do. And then ... Abandoned Love! Cheers.
Great Job on this!
Great job on arrangement. Truly.
Gorgeous xxxx
Holy smoke, this is really good. Should have been the B-side of “Now and Then”…or even the A-side.
Wow! The musician who cut this cover is very talented!! Where is your original music??

Omg my heart
Love him
My sweet George ❤❤❤😭
George, after he turned 30, looked a lot like Eric Clapton, they even looked like brothers.
Wow!
Soo sick. Never heard this before.
Great arrangement. Wow, if this has been in Shanghai Surprise I would have not been surprised.
Wow qué hermosa quedó
Wow, such a nice arrangement, why haven't I heard this song before? Does anyone know where this gem was hiding? Is it accessible in a collection?

Thanks!
I love this so much! Any chance I could get in contact please? Thank you
Glad you like what I did with the tune..post your email here and I'll reach out!
@@walrusz Thank you!
Makes you wonder what other gems Olivia is holding back.
For all I know, George just made a new song.
Thank you for this great song and video. do you know where the clip with tom petty is from?
Thank you. I think that clip was from some promo session for the traveling wilburys. I just found it online can't remember where.
