respect George Harrison. Floor is a very hard instrument. Ive tried once. Harder than what i thought.
Sounds a bit flat to me! ;)
LOL
Try sand, it's not as hard
Right?! I’ve tried umbrella it’s easier
I can only play the floor when I’m really wasted
George Harrison is the main reason why I play the floor.
That was good!!!!!
This comment make me really happy, I was thinking that I was the only one!
I play the floor and then clean it,so there's a lot to said for playing the floor like Crazy but George did it so it's cool ok.
Same thou
Same. I’m still trying to learn all the pavement notes.
And i thought "I am the Walrus" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" were trippy...
@David Hargreaves no. I've heard of it, but never listened to it.
David Hargreaves 😎😎😎🍸🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🐙🦁🐙🐙🐙🐙🍊🤑📅yup
Listen my fav, Revolution #9 backwards, that's fucked up and cool
dude. within you without you. thats way trippier!
So did I man
This is one of the most psychedelic and darkest-sounding ‘Beatles songs. It feels cathartic in the feelings of loneliness and sadness. If perfectly encapsulates the symptoms of those feelings: Disorder (exemplified by the constant tempo-changes that progressively get faster), longing (which is portrayed perfectly from the melody of, “Please don’t be long”), and dread (brought on by the overall gloomy tone, with the sporadic strings, drums, and more). Crazy to think this was written on a whim from George just in regards to him waiting for a music publicist to meet him at his house on Blue Jay Way before he falls asleep.
I'd always thought the lyrics to be laden with more sinister themes. Good to know, thank you!
Could be used in a horror movie.
@@danielbrisbon1728 Very true
@Mark Lanton Yeah, I wonder
@Mark Lanton That's John at 1:38. He is also on the rocking horse!
Paul: Guitar
John: cello
Ringo: drums
George: Floor
Josh Did you just say Paul on Guitar..
@@Astrosynical that's what he said, aint it?
Dante Yes but he plays bass
there's no guitar on this, John plays the organ
@@Astrosynical Bass *GUITAR*
George plays a great floor
Yes, he's a better floor player than me.
even of the floor he still was a better player than any of us
unimpeachably impeccable at the floor
awesomely awesome at the floor
when George was high af hahahahha
The Beatles were so innovative they played football with their hands.
Dont you mean soccer
@@DuncanThomas-lq7lq No.
Duncan Thomas no

Leave it to George to make the most psychedelic Beatle song to ever exist
Yes, and it might be It's All Too Much! Although I'd also say For The Benefit of Mr. Kite and some others may compete too.
Only a Northern Song.
You mean John, right? Tomorrow Never Knows and I Am The Walrus are two of the most psychedelic Beatle songs.
@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv George always looked up to John You can hear it in his singing and songwriting
@@PaulFormentos that’s true.
John: I've made the most psychedelic song ever
George: hold my beer
George: hold my _LSD_
Me: Ok
Hold my *ego
hold me floor*
*hold my cigarettes
Instruments that legends used:
Freddie Mercury: Crowds
Instruments that gods used:
George Harrison: The floor
Ringo Starr: Umbrella
Lmao they are both gods
George also used a punching bag in 'I Feel Fine'
Ringgo also use bycycle
Please, he's merely a demigod
the TRUE god is Ringo Starr and what power does he use for instruments?
*H I S* *M I N D*
Edit: I see another believer of his in the replies, I welcome you brother or sister.
This song makes me feel things that don't exist
Yeah it like, dread, then I'm vibin, then both at the same time
That's heavy, man.
@Put1en Zagunvakharov am rn😭😂
@Put1en Zagunvakharov it's crazy! It's like you wanna tell everyone and want everyone to have this experience👽 cant even describe it ! Otherworldly
Sadness, nostalgia, a weird form of happiness, and a really trippy feeling
The Beatles were so ahead of their time. The video is totally trippy - today you'd call this Indie/alternative stuff!
Idek what you’d Call this today. Tbh the conceptual writing is far ahead of today’s time even
tame impala vibes indeed
ah yes, my favorite genre: 'Alternative Stuff'. lol
What do you mean?
60’s were all trippy
Beatles were Pop back then
And still is not Indie these days
@@monkeyonmyback5528 nah, the Beatles were rock, blues, pop, psychedelic, hard rock, art rock, ballad, etc etc
The beatles doesn't need aesthetic
Aesthetic needs the beatles.
The Beatles ARE aesthetic
the beatles invented aesthetic
@@daydreamnation_ Y E S
Aesthetic sucks so much

Today we learned that George decided to be a cat and John is a flower that can play the cello.
Gasp* George was the first Furry
Makes sense to me....
Bruh fr the only thing that makes sense in this world
china cat sunflower?
Ah, the sixties. You had to be there.
Wow!! A Harrisong on George's birthday. Thank you Beatles VEVO!! 😍😍😍
Happy Birthday George. RIP. 🙏💕
+1805connor Magical mistery boy!
i’m gonna use the phrase “harrisong” more often now 😂
Harrisong? Lol
The Beatles were unspeakably profound across all their years of creativity. They were like a four-part Mozart.
Anxiety in the form of a song
Oh i find this calming?
no way it's super comforting
Try intermission by blur
I can't believe this is from the 60s. This music is so ahead of its time.
they were genius
Blake Krawczuk......true fact it took 44466455356577456789 years to setup
unintellegible bullshit would be ahead of time no matter when it is made
Not really. There were a lot of bands performing trippy songs in the 60's. And they were about more than "my publicist was late". But hey, the beatles are popular so they have to be the best, right?
it's ahead of our time too. :)
Girlfriend: I'm going to go check out the shoe department.
Me: *Chorus plays in my head*
John Garcia LOL funny.
Hilarious
I’m actually wheezing 😂
John Garcia :)
:"D
One of George's most underrated songs. It is as psychedelic and great as Strawberry Fields Forever.
Hi i recommend an indie song & video called 'where I come from' By Robert Nix
Underrated? By whom? No body I know!
@@neilphelan145 Bruh look at you
No, it is not as great as Strawberry Fields Forever.
@@peterdahlen9650 absolutly no, this is better than strawberry fields forever
There’s just something so satisfying about how well John playing the cello in a flower costume goes with the song.
Agree
John what a legend
666th like
Was it John?
1:38
Paul, George and Ringo : *playing with a ball
John: *vibing in the back
i swear that "vibing" is hella creepy
Meh kinda
1980
William, George and Ringo*
Paul died in 1966.
john sunflower tarot card crowley ! no paul
George is the best dressed Beatle in my opinion.
He was indeed....
Agree,he had real style ❤
He was always lean as a rake
Agreed!!!!
1:47 the beatles joyful playing ball with john on the background just casually vibing with cello and huge flower is the best thing i ever saw
the pfp
On bass: Paul
On cello: John
On drums: Ringo
On floor: George
On drugs: All of them
Hotel: Trivago
Floor Piano haha
The real meaning of the 'Floor is Yours'. Who needs Drugs when you have a floor. 🚥🚥
Ringo said later they never recorded anything usable while high. The key is to get high and get your ideas, then come down so you can play in tune.
why is Ringo
over here
I think George discovered snapchat
1:09
He used snapchat before it was cool... xD
they were so ahead of their time
@@jesusluna3705 cute :3
Josh Tucker and its frightening
without doubt one of the most underrated songs of the beatles
side by side with "Tomorrow never knows", I guess
Free as a bird
And in spite of all the danger
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
Please change the spelling of The Beatles.
A darker version of 'i'm the walrus'
Walrus is about how to be capitalist on drugs, with all benefits and risks of that. This one is about how to wait for drugged friends being drugged, so not that much of benefits, while ability to get into deep troubles is quite same. So... Yes, in a way.
👍👌
@Biggus Dickus Yeah, I know what he said that, but those days there was things You could not say at public. Remember story about Jesus. You with Your nickname could be set into prison for real then at some places. While poetry is much harder to catch with, which was proven earlier a lot.
Also, there was inner jokes constantly. Remeber "Eiffel Tower" for example? It may be about something as that:
www.beatlesbible.com/gallery/1968-photos/#jp-carousel-22912
I mean, it's not random words and ideas actually, but if You want to think it is then it's totally OK with it.
I think he once said in an interview that he only wrote it because he heard teachers are telling students to analyze beatles songs for meaning so he wrote incoherent stuff to confuse the teachers
@@vitosnet nah the walrus was 100% gibberish and John said that himself
John: I wrote the most psychedelic song.
George: Hold my floor...
John lennon
Pink Floyd: Hold my pipe
Come on Pink Floyd has much better and darker psychedelic tunes.
John didn’t write blue jay way George did :)
Floor is hard to play
I find it impressive that they managed to make a song with just one chord
and then when you play the chords on a guitar it sounds Nothing like the song
@@treyshawnbeats Stranger isn't. I play in the piano too it gets kinda weird
It depends how you think about it. The melody could be considered part of the harmony
Lydian mode!
isnt tomorrow never knows one chord?
Probably the most psychedelic of their works.
Magical Mystery Tour as a whole is a psychedelic masterpiece.
i think Tomorrow Never Knows has a pretty large lead, but that's just my opinion.
@@maettsook yessssss, my thoughts exactly. George wrote very good songs too.
you can try "within you without you"
Peter Picallo
have you never heard Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite?
I am John because I too am a cellist flower in the background while my friends play
You have to practice 40 hours a day dude... no time to play
I agree :/
Or in the words of another commenter, humping it the cello.
0:46 first documented use of a Snapchat filter
hahahahaha
HHAHHAHA
True da true lol
I came here to say this, but in my heart I knew it had already been said.
I fucking LOVE Ringo's drumming on this song.
That's my fav ringo's drumming..
Absolutely shreds this track
Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles lol
@@prestongray8909 its pete best man
@@prestongray8909 Connor pugs pfp
Rumour has it that a TheBeatlesVevo upload only happens once in a BlueJayWay...
Luckily it happened to fall on what would be George's 75th birthday!
I understand now why beatles hoard their videos and releases them at strategic times
This video is supreme.
Supreme and sublime.
😂 you win!
Beatles matured with age. Never got stuck. Never hesitated to experiment. Lyrics improved. That's why they are still contemporary. Unlike many other bands and artists, we need not make concession and change our mindset half a century back while listening to Beatles. That's very rare quality.
I've always thought that one of the reasons why the Beatles' breakup was so devastating to so many people is for that reason. They never failed to produce a fantastic album (some might disagree with MMT but that's a matter of taste) and always left us anticipating what they'd come up with next.
They were also fucking high out their skulls lol
Joshua Smale: Apparently they're not the only ones.
Completely agree Durjoy, like a flower, they have a begining and a end. Every thing alive has, and their magic too.
Pink Floyd in that class, too.
1:38 John Lennon is a flower playing the cello 🌻🎻.
looks like hes humping it
Even weirder....
Good
Sometimes things just don’t have make sense .
And he is the walrus too😂
I cant
Blue Jay Way is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I love the mind of George Harrison.
Same bruv
Agreed!!!!
Mine too. A Beatlesphile once told me the story behind this song. It was his real life experience. He lived on Blue Jay Way in LA, and he was waiting for his friends who were flying in that night. It was foggy and they got lost driving and he wrote about it…..if I remember correctly, it was Eric Clapton and one of the other Beatles.
Edit: so I read about it on Wikipedia. Got a few details wrong. Mainly, he was waiting for his publicist. You can read about it. GH is a true artist. He took a mundane event in his life and turned it into a masterpiece
I'm perfectly fine with a George/cat hybrid.
George being anime before anime was cool
Aliensk8er72 i am not fine, with Georgie's cat hybrid thing!

Years before Snapchat, there's George as a cat-George hybrid.
@@annameadowshelvie5714 I Know!
That's So Funny!😁. God Bless. ☮
A very alternative song now, let alone in 1967.
They’re ahead of their time even in 2019.
Geniuses.
like number 69
Alternative? Sounds to me like Jefferson Airplane or The Doors were a few miles ahead of this.
@Dr. Bombay Not really, that's just fanboy mentality
Deffo.

Now they've lost themselves instead
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long

I don´t like drugs but I have a great desire to consume LSD and listen to music from The Beatles at the same time.
Think of psychedelics not as a drug but as a medicine. Take the right amount, in the right place, at the right time. You can thank me later.
Just getting high off ganja is such a great equivalent. I appreciated this song way more when I was high I dealt like they were singing to me personally, I could hear every instrument being played, it fealt like the sounds were floating away from my brain. Now on LSD that is a whole other story and cannot wait for my trip with The Beatles
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 🎵 I'd love to do it too...
It's amazing. For my first (and currently only) time, my friend gave me one tab and popped in the Love album by them into her CD player, and it was quite an experience.
I listened to The Beatles on my first trip. After then, the meaning of the songs has totally changed. I look at them from a very different perspective that I used to. All thanks to LSD. Its a medicine, where The Beatles tripsit you.
Happy birthday, George!
I thought it Jan 29th
Nope, he's right, it is today
You made me cry :c
Will be a coincidence?
😖
Ringo's drumming sounds good .
Yeah like tame impala drum tone
Very reminiscent of Strawberry Fields Forever.
so very underated
Raihan Aditya think it may be tame impala sounds like ringo
The effect is called a phaser
Recently I had a magic mushroom experience and listened to the entire Magical Mystery Tour and man, when this song came on I went into the real psychedelic experience, it was amazing and scary at the same time, it got even better when the track changed for Your Mother Should Know, this drastic shift from something dark to a happy theme in an altered state of consciousness was a wonderful experience.
Tengo que intentarlo!! Pero creo que ami no me asustara porque amo esta canción xd
Been there. The droning phrase “ please don’t be long” back in ‘67 a friend said that maybe this meant the singer was saying please don’t belong, that he wanted some one or some group to be away from him. We were really stoned but it made me listen even more closely. This song is so simple and yet so psychedelic.
This song scared me even without drugs. I know, I’m a ‘fraidy cat….
Truly great music ages but it doesn't get old. I had that same experience about 40 years ago. When this song ended and your mother should know came on it felt like I went from swimming in black quicksand to sitting in the park with friends on a sunny day.
Blue Jay Way was quite the trip on LSD
under appreciated song in an underrated album
It's a shame what has happened to music?
Oh yes
@@elcardio7477 ya, it's all dance & electric gizmos & repetition now. There's psychedelic music out there, but gotta search for it. People don't even know the Beatles now.
@@tomfarr2443 yeah I do agree
@@tomfarr2443 hahahah nah that's just wrong. absolutely most people know the beatles. there's more diversity in music now than ever.
Interviewer: “George how much drugs did you have when you were making this song”
George: “ *YES* “
imytch Nolan what if he was on NyQuil?
imytch Nolan 😂
Ewok 88 Sorry to burst your little bubble but George was actually off drugs by the time he recorded this.

This looks like it was recorded so recently, but is 50+ years old
This song is a sneak peek into George's genius songwriting
And I had learnt only fairly recently that it was him who composed and also sung it! After having known the song for 40 years!! 😆
This was the period when they were experimenting with LSD with Peter Fonda in L A.
George had a bad trip
@@lindaeasley5606No. This song was created after George visited Los Angeles with Pattie and Derek Taylor (the Beatles and Beach Boys publicist) in 1967. The Peter Fonda thing was in 1966 and served as the background for She Said She Said
@@redletter2008 I don't know what the Beatles would be without the USA 😅
@@redletter2008 I am Uruguayan. The Beatles were never here but they also contributed
I'd like to apologise to George for sleeping on this track only to find it's a banger!
In "I am the walrus" he says "sitting on a corn flake, waiting for the van to come" that was George in the end of this video
Actually that line was about the end of offshore radio in1967
George Watson still a funny coincidence though.
Wait when I missed it give me a time stamp
Al the Alligator 3:27 Idk when John says it in "i am the walrus" though.
@@GeorgeF.106 Thx well I know when John says it on I Am the Walrus, though I don't know at what time it is

One of Harrison’s best songs soo creepy and when Paul starts doing the backing vocals it always gives me the chills
Brycev023 Paul with John on backing- and yes, it’s a wonderfully trippy track!
George was visiting California on summer 1967. He rented a house on Blue Jay Way in Beverly Hills. Theres was fog at dawn and his friends were lost.
Andrés Carrion huh neat
William Sheppard.
@@cheryllakin3077 Huh?
I love George's voice on a fast-rotated Leslie speaker. It sounds extremely psychedelic and adds to the feel

I thought ringo was the one riding
I gave you your 100th like. You're welcome.
Dig a pony
One of the best Beatles songs. I think Magical Mystery Tour is very underrated. It's on the second place of my favourite Beatles albums after Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
My taste exactly
Back in the days when it was normal for a band to put out 2 or 3 albums in a single year. Nowadays youre lucky to get an album from a band/solo artist 3 years after their last!
I agree with Magical Mystery Tour, it's a really good album. Hey Bulldog is one of my fav Beatles song.
For Sgt Pepper, to be honnest, after a long time I listened it again last summer, I was a fan of this album but I found that it grew old. Not a bad album but some moments sounds like beginners. Like if we can feel the young McCartney that try to build something with George Martin.
I surprised myself when finaly I think that Sgt Pepper can easily be cut to save only the 8.5 songs I like. (0.5 is for A Day In The Life, McCartney's part and Ringo's drums save the song, Lennon's part is so boring)
Sgt Pepper as concept album was the light of my childhood and teenage. Now as an adult, I listen sometimes one or two songs I prefer from this album and taste it like a liquor for gods.
BFVK 1551718 your comment was more trippy to read than this song
I personally like Revolver and Rubber Soul the most, but all of their albums are amazing!!!
Look at 0:44 and 1:07 - It's George Harrison messing around with Snapchat filters before it was cool.
Mini TV Box haha exactly what I was thinking!

I still remember the sheer horror of my parents when I used to play this song cranked as a kid

I am 64 and the voices are STILL scary!
@@afterthefox - My Brother who's 14 years my senior gave me his singles collection when I was 9 (in '79), and one of those singles was 'Blue Jay Way', which I totally fell in love with because of its spooky atmosphere, and I would listen to it all day and every day - much to my two Sisters' displeasure 😄 The stereo we had back then had one of the speakers missing, and so some of the instruments in this song could also be heard only very faintly, including the vocals, which sounded more like whispering and thus even creepier! I got quite a fright many years later when searching for 'Blue Jay Way' on YT and the vocals were so much louder! 😆

Considered to be the most complex Beatles song written, they pull out all the stops and use every trick in their musical arsenal.
Harrisons' stuff was always different and on Abbey Road he finally matched up to the juggernaut that was Lennon/MacCartney with Here Comes The Sun and Something.
He saved that album.
@@auerstadt06 but abbey road was an amazing album what are you talking about? Come together? Oh Darling? The entire medley? The End?? Octopus' Garden??? it was honestly their most complete album and it showcased what the 7 years have led the Beatles to with it's experimental sounds, synths, mature lyricism and just good music
he also shaped revolver up well. imo.
the floor play is so cool.great song. trippy stuff.
@@auerstadt06 No, he did not.
John: How high do you want your song to be?
George: *yes*
John: That's my Walrus!
A good day for hear one of the best songs of Harrison....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!!!!
1:38 John is having the time of his life with a huge flower and a white cello
True!!!
What I love about The Beatles is that they had no boundaries in their creativity
A bit of chemicals helps fo sho! 🤣🤣🤣
@@mrconfusion87The same with The Doors and other bands of the era I guess. You are probably right but partly ). I had some classmates who experimented with chemicals in the 90-s, but none of them created anything even close to The Beatles. So, my verdict is chemichals are not enough, you got to be a genius. I always wondered what kind of music Bach and Beethoven would have composed if they were on chemicals )))
True!!!!
this clip give me chills; it's so ethereal and sublime. George's eyes in 2:00 are sooo intense.
more like trippy
Yea if you pause it, he does look scary! I missed that the first time watching. 😀👍
2:00 of 4:00
blomerinho he knew 💀👁
So beautiful actually!
Everyone’s gangsta till they hear the organ
This album was my gateway into the Beatles in my tennage years. But I always skipped this song, it sounded so scary. I’ve later come to realize Geroge is my favourite Beatle, and to me, the greatest songwriter of all time. But to this day, this song still makes me feel weird. I don’t skip it anymore, but it still freaks me out.
Play it backwards...backmasking.
George Harrison: A man of so many talents he ran out of instruments and had to resort to playing the floor
Nice psychedelic piece from the Beatles. Love the cello.
The cello was the stand-in here for a sitar. George came up with the instrumentation heard here as being the Western equivalent to the Indian instrumentation heard on his earlier Indian music ventures as "Love You To" and "Within You Without You." Besides the cello replacing the sitar, the Hammond organ was used to represent the sound of the tambura drone, and Ringo's drums mimicking the tabla.
Pretty cool to think his music went Eastern first and then drew it back with Western instruments.
Comes off a lot like a quirky music video from the early to mid 90's.
The Beatles. Always ahead of their time...
Travis Marshall They literally invented music videos in a modern sense.
In the 60's
The Beatles were _really_ weird. Now I get why prog musicians from their time admire them. I gotta see more of this.
Accept it: The Beatles was, is and will be the best band forever. Great songs, great singers and ARTISTS, wonderful composers, amazing arragments, stunning melodies and harmonies... the list is long. A band who changed the music in just seven years. Proud to be fan of them ❤🌎✨🎶
I accepted it many years ago. 😊
They had the essential attributes of great pop artists : 1) genuine humility and compassion for the human condition. 2) great lyricists 3) elite vocal quality 4) elite ear for melody 5) good looks.
@@paulg444 I always chuckle how much thought people put into what they think The Beatles were doing and then you watch interviews and they're saying we're just goofing around and trying to make something cool. Then you watch the documentary "get back" and realize they're just writing all these songs and lyrics on the spot without really much thought whatsoever.
It's crazy how short of a time they were The Beatles when you think about it.

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long

Don't be long, don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long

You know it's about the Family Charles Manson killings right?
It was released before the murders 🥀😂
@@tektonik7466 No it wasn't. Bluejay Way was the street George lived on in LA. He was writing about how his friends couldn't find the house
@@berealzalotdosays3245 I know but not such a good story is it.

Okay, Apple, what are you trying to make us purchase?
Not enough people listen to the Beatles album tracks and b sides. Incredibly innovative stuff.
Agreed!!!
I love how at 2:19 the tire rolls up to him and he’s like “get outta my song”
I guess he didn't want to feel tired,😩smh,too busy playing himself..

OMF YOUR NAME LMFAOOO
I just turned 30 and never had a Beatles phase, had my reggae pothead phase, my Radiohead phase, my jazz phase, my ragtime phase, my blues phase, my Led Zeppelin phase, my John Mayer phase...I wasn’t ready for them. Im grateful cause just now I can really appreciate them. Wow, wtf! I think I can survive just with their discography...and my Radiohead of course.
Led Zeppelin phase? Led Zeppelin forever
Are you a musician?
Yah, you don’t really understand one’s self until you go through a ragtime phase. It’s when I broke free, man.
You shall need some early smashing pumpkins phase, jeff buckley phase, PJ phase and go back to Led Zep, through a hardcore Hendrix phase. Then, maybe, and really hope for you - *crossing fingers* - , you can enjoy almost to its full extent the amazing truth the Beatles sent on us earthly mortals
How long is a Beatles phase supposed to last? Mine’s been going for 50 years.
Happy Birthday my sweet George ❤
Beatles Stonem This is an obscure song from the Magical Mystery Tour movie/soundtrack.
¡Feliz Cumpleaños George!
Feliz cumpleaños George
Radio-Beatle He estado esperando este día desde hace un año xD

¡Oye amigo! Creo que te conozco.
John: I wrote the most psychedelic song ever.
George: Hold my kaleidoscope.
YESSS, THEY POSTED A VIDEO RIGHT ON GEORGE’S BIRTHDAY!!💜
i think they were planning that
2:19 Legend says that George summoned the tire with his powers
he was a hipster before it was cool
hippiester
HIPCEPTION
WE NEED TO GO DEEPER
Yep
George Harrison = Beyond Hipness ;-)
Shut up you stain. Hes not a fucking hipster and being a hipster has never been coop
Why is this song so incredible? I'd CHALK it up to good songwriting!
It's terrible.
@@swirlingfudge It's actually great, objectively. Terrible is just how your inferior taste ruins it for you.
the greatness is in the experimentation, the sounds, effects, etc. Chalk it up to that!
You are...
Lydian mode!
Everything about this is weird
I love it
u gggGtuy
Weird is this everything about
Is this about everything weird?
Except the lyrics are surprisingly ordinary...just a sleepy dude sick of waiting for his friends to show up.
They used to love to play on the words please/pleas and belong/be long.
Lyrics:
There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
We'll be over soon they said
Now they've lost themselves instead.
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep.
Well it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a policeman on the street
There's so many there to meet.
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep.
Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be the breath of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way.
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long
Mr. Harrison... You're the light of the best band ever. ❤️
We miss him anyway!
Yes indeed!!!

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to sing and play the floor and someone just rolls a goddamned tire at you?
I hate it when that happens ☹
He’s already tired from waiting for his friends
Literally anyone: "Oh you listen to the Beatles? They must be great role models to you. They seem like responsible men."
Me: "Yeah...uh huh 🙂 they sure are."
3:36: The four of them running away after light a cello on fire
