I met George 45 years ago when his car broke down near my house . I didn't realise who he was at first heedless to say I was over the moon when I knew, what a great guy.
Yes a great song from 1974. I thought it was so cool. I was a 19 yr old United States Marine getting ready to deploy to Camp Foster, Okinawa. Thanks George. Semper Fidelis
George has always been my favorite Beatle. He was truly special. And “ Dark Horse “ is one of his best solo songs. Another forgotten classic from the 70s.
This has been my theme song since I was facing jail time for some trouble I got into when I was a teen. Friends disowned me, teachers dismissed me. I turned my life around and became pretty successful. Showed them all. Don't count the dark horses out.
Yours is a moving story. I fully appreciate how a GH song can inspire you to success. While his music was sweet to the ear, the lyrics told stories worth hearing.
@Bill Hobbie He made our world a better place for sure as for are we worthy of him I wish I could impart some George type of wisdom but I'd only fall short.
I think George has that effect on many of us. He was such an extraordinary person. I have trouble believing he's gone---his spirit is so strong. I think maybe he comes down and visits us from time to time. Maybe that's why we feel him so intensely. .
It saddens me to watch these images while listening to the song. What a beautiful soul George Harrison was. My favorite Beatle BY FAR. Wish he was still with us.
All the 7th frett capo's wont stop this being an awesome song. George was a late bloomer with the Beatles songwrtting.. But he made up for it. Also a brilliantly inventive slide guitarist. Economical yet fast/ and tasteful. A true Legend. May you be remembered always George Harrison. XX
Most of his stuff he tried to pass to the rest of the Beatles but they waved it away without even caring. We’re lucky we got something, while my guitar gently weeps & For You Blue. I heard they (Paul & John) were sticklers for having Ringo or George write or pass a song onto an album. This is what ultimately made “All Things Must Pass” a FANTASTIC album. They must have felt like shit after that. Till this day All Things Must Pass is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Losing George Harrison was like having a best friend,,,kinda quiet...very talented but was not a showoff..One of the Greatest Musicians and this is just a sample of this man;s ability to sing and play guitar at the same time..a HUGE loss to the music industry...Even tho EC had to pry his old friend out of obscurity...we only had him for a while...I reget everytime that I've never seen this man play.....well ,,I'll never forget his music.,..RIP
Dark Horse was the 1st album I bought of George’s, as a young teen. Love the clop clop clop drumming sounds, I picture a horse galloping while listening
I feel like my hearing is defective? Everyone’s raving about it, I think his voice is awful on this whole album, and I was a major fan so that’s hard to say.
Georges voice was pretty screwed up the whole year, recording this album and the following tour, and it wasnt laryngitis as much as damage from a lot of Cocaine and hepititus. Lucky for him and us Olivia nursed him back to good health.
I've heard post live versions of this and I don;t like them as much. I must be the only one who thinks the fierce rasp really suits this song. George had a healthy a level of anger churning inside him according to those who know him well and this is just what this particular subject matter needed. BALLS.
Glenn Wheatcroft Their achievements are legendary that in itself can become overwhelming. As was the case with John who would not be left alone by the press media about his anger. He was outspoken as was George the quiet Beatle until he had something to say, that he felt was important. It isn't easy being bigger than Jesus Christ!
He had an unhealthy amount of anger, from where who knows. He lacked gratitude to John, Paul, and Martin for letting him sing and contribute songs so much before he blossomed in about 1968. They used "Only A Northern Song," for goodness sakes, a song about not bothering to write a good song. Being a musician who's friends with Lennon and McCartney from childhood must mess with your head.
Just saw the 50th anniversary remaster of A Hard Day's Night at a theater in Cleveland, brings back memories of the Beatles when they were so young. As a kid I always leaned toward Paul and his music, but as I got older I started favoring George's music. Great clips of George here through the years.
grayfoxfive funny enough, I always leaned toward George but I’ve recently gotten into Paul’s post-Beatles work and have started leaning his way a little too. Either way, George will always be my favorite Beatle. His personality and talent can’t be replicated and I really lament that he passed away before I got a chance to see him in concert.
1974, a great year for music. I was 19 yrs old Lance Corporal, stationed at Camp LeJeune, NC, then on to Camp Foster, Okinawa, when this song was released. What a year.
+ulysses1904 You are SO lucky, ulysses1904, ! I was too young to see him. How was he? I heard the crowd was unhappy with him playing a lot of Krisna music....did he play some of his hits?
+Jim K Hey Jim. I was 15 years old and I remember people not being thrilled with the extended raga music portions. I guess we were all expecting a Beatles based show and were disappointed. I remember he played "In My Life" which is the only Beatles song I can remember. But I'm not the best judge as it was just exciting to be visiting NYC and being at Madison Square Garden and seeing a Beatle, he could have sang nursery rhymes and I would have been thrilled.
GH was so great. A late boomer by Beatles standards. But George touched the human soul. The so called quiet one....was the loudest in my ears. Miss you GH.
You thought that you knew where I was and when It looks like they've been foolin' you again You thought that you'd got me all staked out But baby looks like I've been breaking out I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Who's looking for the source I'm a dark horse You thought that you had got me in your grip Baby looks like you was not so smart And I became too slippery for you Let me tell you that was nothing new I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I picked up my first spoon I've been a cool jerk Who's looking for the source I'm a dark horse I thought that you knew it all along Until you started getting me not right Seems as if you heard a little late I warned you when we both was at the starting gate I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Who's looking for his perks I'm a dark horse I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped from out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Just looking at the source I'm a dark horse... Music & Lyrics: George Harrison 🙏🏻♥️🎶🙏🏻♥️🎶
I am listening to an old radio show on 99X DJ’d by Elton John in 1974 and he’s playing all the Beatles solo career songs and he played this song. God bless him he appreciates the talent of George, Ringo and John Lennon. ❤❤❤
George reminds of when I had the capacity to love and hope. I cannot being to put into words the intensity of my love for this man. He is so damn talented, wise, redemptive and really fucking sweet. "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. . And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust burn to the socket." Wordsworth.
In my opinion, this (along with Wichita Lineman) is one of the only two musically perfect songs ever composed. Every chord flows from the previous, and into the next. Absolutely perfect.
Hi my name is Joey I came to the Krishna consciousness movement in 1979. My inspiration was George Harrison my guru! Jai guru Deva! And all glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
George was a deep thinker, who became kind of a zen master for our generation, it showed in his music, I remember the first time I heard the Beatles, I was 13, I had never heard anything that sounded so electric, it just blew me away, our sweet George.
This is the next to best clip comp I've ever seen! The best would be this one with George riding the bike around in circles. I think I was 10. He became my Beatle. I got to see the Dark Horse Tour. Great job, really.

really?
+Judy Allen That was awesome!
He always struck me as being relatively down to earth. You must have been thrilled for sure!
Billy Preston remarked that Harrison was probably one of the best people of character that he ever met.
wow!!
This song is really underrated. The strain in George's voice really added something to it.
Yes a great song from 1974. I thought it was so cool. I was a 19 yr old United States Marine getting ready to deploy to Camp Foster, Okinawa. Thanks George. Semper Fidelis
I heard he had tonsillitis when he recorded it. You’re right. I love the way his voice sounds.
It makes it sound better with tonsillitis.
And no wonder why his voice sounds a bit better and more scratchy or different.
It’s a bad song and a fantastic song at the same time.
I feel like my blood pressure goes down instantly when I listen to George Harrison. 🤗
Listen to the strain on his voice you deaf whale how does that lower your bp
Can you be in love with someone you've never met? I guess so.. I love George.. We miss you
@@donnaedelen1199 me too.
Listen to CCR. Never a bad song or sour mood after a beer or two and tunes. 😊
dude fr
He was truly a dark horse. He was a great Beatle, but when he went solo he truly shined. We miss you, George!
Yes he was too underrated.
The dude was a badass. Nothing more to say.
R.I.P. George.
Also the best looking Beatle.
George has always been my favorite Beatle. He was truly special. And “ Dark Horse “ is one of his best solo songs.
Another forgotten classic from the 70s.
So true!!!
This has been my theme song since I was facing jail time for some trouble I got into when I was a teen. Friends disowned me, teachers dismissed me. I turned my life around and became pretty successful. Showed them all. Don't count the dark horses out.
Be strong, Jagger. We all muck up every now and then.
We are all dark horses.
good for you dark horse
Yours is a moving story. I fully appreciate how a GH song can inspire you to success. While his music was sweet to the ear, the lyrics told stories worth hearing.
👍👍👍
This song brings tears to my eyes for some reason.
I know what you mean.
Genius melody, and arrangement. Hauntingly beautiful.
Gotta love that flute. Great song
Yes
The world needs George more than ever
Lennon is more needed too.
@@payne8753 They are both ashes in the wind now. Sad...
... God will Bless him
@Bill Hobbie He made our world a better place for sure as for are we worthy of him I wish I could impart some George type of wisdom but I'd only fall short.
What about the world of hate that the geezers here have for katy perry?
What would George say about that?
This song is absolutely incredible. Cant help but appreciate life when a song like this is playing. Thank you george ❤️
Brings back memories..I almost wore out this album…Love this song
i love George Harrison so much i feel it in my chest when i think about him
I think George has that effect on many of us. He was such an extraordinary person. I have trouble believing he's gone---his spirit is so strong. I think maybe he comes down and visits us from time to time. Maybe that's why we feel him so intensely. .
Holly Potthoff that is so beautiful that just made me so happy :~)
Jenevieve I know right?
Jenevieve. I know what you mean
that happens to me too, such a beautiful soul he was
George Harrison was amazingly talented. He was very spiritual and had a great sense of humor. Today would have been his 78th birthday. RIP GEORGE.
That rhythm sounds like the hooves of horses galloping. Very clever, George!
is that Ringo galloping ??? !!!
Not his style. I'm sure it's Jim Keltner.
Exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard this!
It saddens me to watch these images while listening to the song. What a beautiful soul George Harrison was. My favorite Beatle BY FAR. Wish he was still with us.
Ahh...the quiet Beatle. A real class act. RIP George, you have been missed.
And will be until the end of time.
Still missed *
That's what "have been" means, heat. Might be time to review tense
George Harrison, what a beautiful man and awesome talent. You are missed and loved. RIP
One of George’s best!

love me some GH.... the underrated Beatle...such a huge loss to the music industry...You'll always be remembered...love ya George..
What a powerful song.
The whole Dark Horse album is Great.
Great man who made a difference in this world for the better his music is very relevant
This song takes me places that I've never been.
George we really miss you :'(
for4ever in my heart
Sting ?
RIP George you were amazing

I just can’t stand the death.
This is a cool, kind of folksy song. Nice "changes" musically. Melody is unusual and nice. Many thanks from our good friend. RIP Forever, George.
Amazing to dance to this song. Really feel it and dance to it. What a natural high.
Very nice. One of Harrison's best solo songs, and its touch of minstrelsy shows a Jethro Tull influence. Thanks for posting!
Wrong. Not everything with a flute is Tull influenced.
matthew stetson but I can hear the comparisons
@@matthewstetson1840 common, he obviously heard Tull
Yesss
I just can't get over how gorgeous he was! I am so infatuated with him.
I agree, I never realized it. Also, his voice was so good and soothing. So underated
Soo sexy!!
I love this version. I know the voice is raspy but I love it. Can't get this on iTunes.Just live.
Version? It's the original. By George Harrison. He wrote this!
Love his voice on this track, pefect for what it is, a dark horse
@@alansiscoe6805 Always loved the song since 1974! Great time in musical history.
Mylifestorey
He was suffering from laryngitis during the sessions and even impacted his touring at the time
I woke up this morning with this song in my head and tears in my eyes , George is still Here , I guess if your love is real like his you never leave.
Most people would consider this a deep track but I think it’s one of his best!✌️❤️🎸
EL GUITARRISTA Y COMPOSITOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS.
Absolutely incredible. Thank you George ❤️
Where the heaven did this song come from? Hearing it for the first time today and I love it❤❤❤
Ahh, George, we may miss you, but something tells me you're not far away. Namaste
The best song by the master, we miss you 13 years later as much a on the day you left us.....you dark horse
Amen!
❤️
yes! the master
…and still missing you as much now, just a little shy of twenty years. 🌈
I like everything about this song, especially George's voice (which sounds great even with a cold). My favorite Beatle!
I know the voice is much better this way
He had laryngitis during the whole recording sessions of the album.
Love this tune! So unique.
Dark Horse was the 1st album I bought of George’s, as a young teen. Love the clop clop clop drumming sounds, I picture a horse galloping while listening
I just think it's impressive that he did this whole album while having laryngitis!
I feel like my hearing is defective? Everyone’s raving about it, I think his voice is awful on this whole album, and I was a major fan so that’s hard to say.
@@SharonMarieMonAmi no your hearing isn't defective, I'm also a huge fan but his voice on this track was just foul, due to laryngitis
Georges voice was pretty screwed up the whole year, recording this album and the following tour, and it wasnt laryngitis as much as damage from a lot of Cocaine and hepititus. Lucky for him and us Olivia nursed him back to good health.
What an excellent video to go along with such a good song. The world lost one of the true greats when we lost George.
The hottest beatle for sure😻
I'm the hottest Beatle
SO true. He was a sexy, sexy man. The thinker of the group.
I was thinking about my dear friend that passed away 16yrs ago today. This was one of her favorite songs. so I posted it as a tribute.
Great singer,missed him dearly.

1975 grad school at University of Kentucky... so glad to hear it again after all these years!
Loved this song always!
@@m.e.d.7997 Always!
The roughness of his voice reminds me of latter day Dylan, too. As do the lyrics.
1974, a great year for music. I was 19 yrs old Lance Corporal, stationed at Camp LeJeune, NC, then on to Camp Foster, Okinawa, when this song was released. What a year.
At 16 yrs old I took my 13 yr old brother to see George Harrison first solo tour at Madison Square Garden
🙏
The only Beatle I ever saw in concert, was there at his Madison Square Garden show for this tour in 1974.

Reminds me of getting my first FM radio. I love the raspy voice
I love his voice on his, it's so strong
Whenever I am having a bad day I put this on and I am instantly better, thanks George!
Enigmatic song with a powerful chorus.....
One of the best
You thought that you knew where I was and when
It looks like they've been foolin' you again
You thought that you'd got me all staked out
But baby looks like I've been breaking out
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Who's looking for the source
I'm a dark horse
You thought that you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And I became too slippery for you
Let me tell you that was nothing new
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I picked up my first spoon
I've been a cool jerk
Who's looking for the source
I'm a dark horse
I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heard a little late
I warned you when we both was at the starting gate
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Who's looking for his perks
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Just looking at the source
I'm a dark horse...

Heard this song for the first time today. Great song. RIP My Favourite Beatle
Will always love you George harrison.....!!!!
I saw his Dark Horse Tour in Vancouver BC back in 1974. The concert featured George, Ravi Shankar and his orchestra and Billy Preston.
この当時喉を痛めてたジョージのかすれ声が逆にカッコイイです。特にこのタイトル曲は投げやり風な歌い方が決まってます♪
george fuiste un gran catante y conpositor de fabulosas canciones maestro que paz descance
Great song. Hypnotic melody, intriging lyrics.
I love singing along with this song when I have laryngitis.
Good song even though he sounds sick with a cold his voice is still awesome RIP GEORGE
As time goes by , we appreciate the great music even more . George, was the great "dark horse"
Love him forever.
I LOVVVEEE THIS SONG! Rip George ❤️
I met this song days after discovering a cancer in my father. For sure, it has a special meaning for me …
Whoever put this video montage together deserves a footnote of thanks and 👏👏👏👏❤️🔥🖤
We miss you so much George...
Sin duda alguna... Mi beatle favorito George Harrison
Hey
I am listening to an old radio show on 99X DJ’d by Elton John in 1974 and he’s playing all the Beatles solo career songs and he played this song. God bless him he appreciates the talent of George, Ringo and John Lennon. ❤❤❤
nice lyrics. realistic song words, lyrics. nice voice.

George sounded great no matter what. He was by far the best. ❤
Recordando a George
In my opinion, this (along with Wichita Lineman) is one of the only two musically perfect songs ever composed. Every chord flows from the previous, and into the next. Absolutely perfect.
Wow thx for the great memory of Lineman, forgot about it
I freaking love witchita lineman, ...and I need you more than want you.....sigh
hard to argue with that.
Thats a ridiculous statement

All the feelings they gave us, are imprinted in our hearts. Forever.

Great job, really.
St. Louis, 1975 I think. Seals&Croft, Ravi Shankar, George Harrison.
Paid $15.00
i to love how his voice sounds, it works. even if he was sick during the recording... TURELLY WILL BE MISSED.... R.I.P SIR GEORGE
