All Those Years Ago - John Lennon & George Harrison Tribute

- The last two months of the year, the time to remember them.
I dedicate this video, as it was said before, with "all my loving" for George and John. Though my favorite has always been George, John has also a very, very special place in my heart.
I started it in October but just finished today, so it says it was made in November. Anyway, hope you like it, remember to post any comments you have about :)
"WHEREVER YOU ARE...YOU ARE HERE"
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER"
I miss George with all my love. I was a young Beatles fan from the cradle and I wrote George a letter when I was 9 in 1990. I told him I was learning the ukulele and asked him about the sitar because it sounded like falling into a dream. He actually wrote back and sent me the Willburys cd. He was so kind and encouraging. I travelled to London in 1997 and wrote him again as we were leaving. I mailed the letter when we arrived at Pearson airport with my Aunts forwarding address where we were staying. A day after arriving I heard in a cab on the radio that George had been attacked by a lunatic with a knife in his garden and was fighting for his life. I was so sad for him and faced the notion of losing another of my Beatles heroes by assassin. It was almost to much. I sent a card with my best thoughts. Then we went on to Wales and Ireland and I was praying for George the whole time.
Fast forward 2 months, I'm back at home and my Aunt sends a letter from someone who helped with his affairs! They said thank you for the letters and cards and that George had turned a corner soon after and will be right as rain in no time. It had a picture of George sitting up in a chair back home and giving the peace sign. It meant so much that they took the time and it really settled my frayed nerves. I hope I did for too them too, if even in the smallest way.
what a great story
Beautiful story! thanks for sharing
If George & John aren’t in Heaven then I ain’t going✌🏽
@@dmbremnants7320 ...get ready for hell...😰😰😰
How amazing that out of the thousands of letters received every day, yours found George. I am sure your prayers were significant in his recovery and who knows, beyond into eternity...
You never really appreciate how much you miss someone until they're gone .
listen to nobody loves you when you're down and out by John Lennon, the final line "everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground" reflects exactly what you just said. Such a beautiful song, that along with Isolation. However Harrison's songs both with the Beatles and solo take the cake for me, stuff like Rising Sun, What Is Life, Isn't it a Pity and All Things Must Pass is just genius and he was the most underrated Beatle. Even the lyrics to this one are masterful... RIP My 2 favourite Beatles
I like every song George Harrison wrote.
How true.
A grown man, I cried like a baby for John. Thought him and the boys would always be with me like they were during my upbringing,,,,, still listening to their music EVERY day.
Jim, I grew up like you with the Beatles, because I slept in the same room than my elder brother who was then a teenager, and who bought each of their new records. (I was fascinated by the record sleeves of "Revolver" and of course, especially by that of "Sgt Pepper" !) John & George have always been my favorites. I was 22 when John was murdered : it's the first and only time in my life where I cried at the death of an artist...
My sister's favorite was George and mine was John. May my sister, George and John rest in peace.........
RIP to them! George's my favourite too₹
My favorite is John
George was my favorite too.
George and John my favourite Beatles.
Johnny was my favorite too. SO sorry for your loss.
The guitar playing is just amazing George was an awesome musician
GEORGE did such a BEAUTIFUL song giving us insite of how wonderful their friendship was. John was complex, George saw John's soul, and put words to it.
Ringo on drums, Paul and Linda McCartney on backing vocals.
Ringo on drums, but no McCartneys!
McCartneys and Denny Laine. It's right there on the album sleeve.
alltaken678 paul died in 1966.
Zohreh Sepanloo no he did see this pic a year eariler after moped wreck( Dec 26th 1965) showing Tara Browne around Liverpool , still has chipped tooth and scars upper lip and above left eye, hence the person we see today is, James Paul McCartney son of James "Jim" and Mary McCartney , brother to Michael (stage name McGear) McCartney , step son of Angie McCartney, step brother of Ruth McCartney. it was Tara Browne who was killed in a car wreck, in 1966 and it wasn't November 9th, it was Dec 26th 8 days shy of being a year, of moped wreck. a day in the life was about Tara Browne, he blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the light had changed, a crowd of people stood and stared, they'd seen his face before they, but no one really knew if he was from the house of Lords. not about Paul
I don't care about all that. This guy does not look anything like Paul McCartney. Just compare the photo and videos of pre 1996 Paul with post 1966 Paul. I trust my own eyes more than anything else. Your better do the same...
Very upbeat feeling about his love for John. "You had control of our smiles and our tears, all those years ago." What a beautiful thing to say about John's place in the world, among the people of the world.
They were like brothers talented, handsome charismatic
Wonderful song for John after he died, now George is gone too! Two of the greatest to ever exist. I miss them both dearly. I'm thankful for what they left us. It will live on forever, just like their memory!
15 years without George. RIP.
We love you and miss you George and John...
Fran Stevenson really great collection of images , thx to whoeverdid it
This is a beautiful song. That says a lot about what George was really all about. A very spiritual person, and a very beautiful soul. He will be loved by many and missed by all of his fans😪👍🏼🎸❤️
No matter how many times I see this video this is the one song that brings me to tears. These two guys were phenomenal.
They were The tw o Closest
Such a beautiful tribute to John by George.
Can't help thinking about Julian and Sean. How someone could take away the father of two young boys...
"....i always looked up to you...." so sad......
So mindful and great.
I love this song.
My favorite Beatle. George Harrison!
May Rest in Peace. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song was first issued in 1981 as George's tribute to John. It is a cleverly constructed video piece, dedicated to two fine talents. Thank you, Lennon and Harrison.
george hrrison por siempre y para siempre 😢❤
but it says that John co-wrote it...????? 81?
Essa musica fez um relativo sucesso aqui no RJ, Brasil no outono/inverno de 1981. George tinha se afastado muito do John e do Paul e com a morte do John fez essa canção. Acho a canção fraca e oportunista apesar de gostar do trabalho do GH.
I'm shouting all about love
While they treated you like a dog
When you were the one who had made it
so clear
All those years ago.
I'm talking all about how to give
They don't act with much honesty
But you point the way to the truth when you say
All you need is love.
Living with good and bad
I always look up to you
Now we're left cold and sad
By someone the devil's best friend
Someone who offended all.
We're living in a bad dream
They've forgotten all about mankind
And you were the one they backed up to
the wall
All those years ago
You were the one who Imagined it all
All those years ago.
Deep in the darkest night
I send out a prayer to you
Now in the world of light
Where the spirit free of the lies
And all else that we despised.
They've forgotten all about God
He's the only reason we exist
Yet you were the one that they said was
so weird
All those years ago
You said it all though not many had ears
All those years ago
You had control of our smiles and our tears
All those years ago...
Those words still hold true today
+Maren Denison - Correction: I always looked up to you, and thank you for posting this. Praise the living God!
+Maren Denison Thank you for reminding us of the lyrics! Such perfection!
Its as if it was written for them.
Thank you
E sì eravate proprio bravi divertenti belli e ancora vivi, grazie George e John per sempre!
Both of these men died so young but it seems as if they were here for a long time. Very cool tune.
Yes, amazing......when they 1st appeared...who'd thot thet 2 would be murdered??? terrible sick world......
He had a break-in..in his home in some year...i forget 2002? or later.....and was stabbed 41!!!!!!! times in the chest! puncturing a lung and almost bleeding out......HE HAD CANCER in that place..in his lungs....and as his son Dhani said, the attack certainly helped his death arrive at such an early age..' paraphrased...his beautiful life was definitely cut short by that attack.....41 stab wounds!@ etc....and i say Paul -- as i am on the fence---is 'Faul." Millions believe and there is sooooooooo much evidence and literally 100 clues planted by the remaining Beatles../////in 1966 that he was speeding and had a car crash///.....even in FREE AS A BIRD its a little girl running thru the entire vide..and runs past A SMASHED ACCIDENT...WITH BLOODY MAN../ POLICE ETC ...why the 100 clues.....supposedly George said they were going to tell the world but after awhile, the new Paul..plastic surgery etc was so good...even better! that they kept quiet due to fear of mass suicides......
Once George was at a party at Clapton's home....the police came and busted many...but literally snuck George out the back......THEY WERE THAT BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ot will never happen again......etc
Yes i remember all those years ago they make our life happy and has left us a a dood melodic music to be heard bby our younger generation of today we love them
Rudy Wilson, two murdered? What the F are you talking about? George Harrison died of Cancer. Only John Lennon died by murder. Oh I know you are a "Paul nis dead" believer, which explains the lack of knowledge.
Days before George died, Paul was with him. They were holding hands and reminiscing of childhood memories. This is a story that even Dhani and Olivia Harrison says happened. If Paul is Faul, how the heck would they reminisce memories of their childhood and their early days as Quarrymen, silver beetles and finally beatles?
Paul is alive, your brain cells are dead.
You just wanted attention don't you? Nobody loves you and pays any attention to you so you try to get the attention you crave for here in UA-cam.. What a sad life you have.
4 lads from my hometown that shook the world , LIVERPOOL 👍
I went there in 2013. Loved the place, great history, fantastic locals.
Lucky that I caught the train there instead of driving.
My hometown also
Wish I could go there, bucket list maybe.
Bert Candela I'd be glad to show you around.
A great song and wonderful tribute to a friend. Growing up with Beatlemania, George was my favorite. All these years later, my appreciation for them and their astounding talent has grown much, much deeper. No one should die like John Lennon did and that horrible tragedy is magnified by the lasting and deep joy his work continues to bring to generation after generation. Both he and George are badly missed.
George was my favorite Beatle too. I would sing every song of his that played on the radio because I knew all the words to his songs that they played on the radio.
What good times.
Beautiful song all about the love that existed between two of the most missed, musical genius' of all time.
The two most talented gone but never forgotten.
This song will never fail to make me cry, but I still really, really love it!
Same here...
Life is very short, enjoy it.
NELSON L.
Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend
enjoy cocaine
Very true
I cleaned out the attic for a couple of days and realized it was sorta silly . l was in the attic. Coke was fun for those two days all those years ago!
I do miss their voices. They were positive influences on this world - which we have sadly, tragically lost.
Tomorrow marks 14 years since George passed away and in a few days, it will be 35 years since John was stolen from us. I just watched it all the way through for the first time and it is taking everything inside of me to not start crying my eyes out. This might sound strange to some;but i can honestly say that those four boys have had a bigger and more positive influence on me than anyone in my family. That does not say that i don't miss my dad, who died in front of me in April 2013. However all three deaths have been different and had a different affect on me.
+Randy R We miss our childhood i guess. Great music.
+Miriam Holthuis What? DO YOU MEAN IT IS OVER? Rats, i knew something was wrong. Back then i had friends and fun and today that is a rarity, which has led to my killing off most holidays. Never thought i would have to exist in such a cold selfish world. What happened to this thing of community and being friendly to each other in person? This is far from the world i was raised in. Sorry i am not in the best place right now and running behind
Dear Randy,
I think it is not over. As long as we can enjoy music, it is not over!!
The world is much colder then what we knew, especially if we live in a werstern country (where do you live?) much hurry, everybody thinks about himself and his money.
You don't have to be sorry of not being happy at the moment.
Can i help?
+Miriam Holthuis I exist in lonely Phoenix and here because of the 94 quake. Yes music is your only friend until the end. I am dying from medical conditions and from Reality. I am praying that i can live again before i die. Pray i can get the many items sold, the pension check holds out, the shaky marriage doesn't blow up in my face and disability comes in soon. Seeing psychologists and neurologist in few days to see what might be my next step. When we were both working things were a lot less stressed
I hope you will feel beter soon, that you will have something to hold you possitive. Music, Nature, Family
I can't listen to this without crying. The Fab were the ones, that made life so fun, all those years ago......Peace.
I remember this as a very under rated and under played song when it first came out. It was and is very amazing.
It went to no 2 in the USA...did well in UK...
It got a ton of radio play, and sold a kagillion copies in the U.S., how does that make it “underrated”?
WHAT?
It was an international hit, and on the radio channels everywhere. You must have been sleeping !!
Oh-I LOVE this song!!!!!
No its not under rayed it is very famous and loved!
Their music has helped to make me a better person. On behalf of all the beings I encounter throughout my life; thanks John, thanks George.
What a splendid comment and expression of love and gratitude! I feel the same way about all four of them. Thanks for saying it so beautifully for me and all the millions of us who love them.
Love it. Thanks John...George ...RIP
I love you George, I love you for everything you did musically and spiritually ❤️
This is a wonderful tribute to John. Love you both John and George.
Great tribute. Both are so missed.
"I always looked up to you" That how I feel about both of them
George wrote some really great songs. This tribute song to John always makes me cry.
George harrison writing and compose this song for the memory of john lennon because he loves him like as brother is very beautiful song for we also can remember john and george love it
I at 75 yrs of age remember as if it was yesterday ; i LOVE THEIR WONDERFULL MUSIC
Totally agree. Best 2 beatles & always stayed close from break up of beatles. Bet there 2gether now!🤣🤣
" Living with good and bad
I always look up to you " always breaks my heart.
RIP John and George.
You not only changed music, but our lives as well.
I tear up with this song. The Beatles were flawed humans, like we all are. But, what classic music and good times they gave us!
They were dear friends, especially in their younger days. I love the line: "you had control of our smiles or our tears..."
all those years ago. No band ever had the chemistry they had between them. Nobody.
para mi el mas grande de los Beatles.con todo el respeto a los tres.cantaba con un gran sentimiento y la voz, ni que hablar.ritmica por donde se le escuche.son más de 16 años de su partida y siguen en las radio tocando sus melodias.Nos dejaste joven, pero estas en la gran eternidad junto con John, el amigo de todos los que amamos la paz.un gran abrazo a todos.
Happy Birthday, George. I pray that right now, you are with Our Sweet Lord God. Hallelujah!
This was a very touching video... the multiple clips of John and George captured the essence of the song. Thank you for your labor of love.
Thank you, this video made me cry :(
John and George were beautiful people with beautiful souls. They'll always be missed.
A beautiful tribute! RIP John and George...We Love You!!
Dr. Bomba
this made me cry, and smile 💙
It did me too .
Me too
Brilliant song...RIP George
Miss them both and their beautiful music...long live George and John ....still in our hearts and the future
Such a happy, bouncy tune from a simpler time.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING! RIP JOHN AND GEORGE...
ES ALUCINANTE ESTA CANCION. DIFICIL NO EMOCIONARSE AUNQUE SEA POR DENTRO. EL MUNDO DE LOS BEATLES NO ACABO EN 1970, SINO QUE HOY EN DIA ESTA VIGENTE. Y SIGUE ROMPIENDO MOLDES. HAN SIDO, SON Y SERAN INSUPERABLES.
Un gran grupo the Beatles su musica vivira por siempre👍👍👌🎬👏👏
Es preciosa esta cancion que escribió GEORGE HARRISON 🇬🇧LO MÁXIMO 👌🏽👌🏽😙👏👏🤝🤝DESDE CD DE MEXICO 🇲🇽
STILL AMAZING. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. JOHN LENNON
muchas gracias por estos hermosos momentos
Thank you George ! For everything !
Still feel like crying when I hear it see George, so very sadly missed .....
Yes it"s been years ago and Johnnie and Georgie are not with us but the songs still are here and we love them just like when we were Kids. All those years ago! Love you George and John...
Recordando el tiempo fue inolvidable y pieza clave para su gran talento y experiencia para estos señores músicos de Liverpol👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😙👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍👍👍👍🤝🤝desde Cd México. 🤗😉🇲🇽
47 years since the Beatles split and still world famous daily!!~~~~~~never again will there be a group that did and was reacted to like that,..,.
Such a beautiful video! George was so handsome!
David bowie love songs
My all-time favorite George Harrison song. John Lennon was by no means perfect, but this is a very touching tribute!
Happy Heavenly Birthday to a legend gone much too soon but never forgotten. Thank you for all of your great music that will live on forever. Rest in peace Mr.John Lennon and Mr.George Harrison
They produced something fantastic that will probably never be repeated. The Beatles never released a record outside of my lifetime and that is as good a reason to live now as any other.
los dos amores de mi vida por siempre...
2 of the greatest ever. I still can't quite grasp they're gone.
brilliant song from George.
Thank you so much, Paola Quezada! The work that it must have taken to put this awesome vid together boggles the mind! Thank you for this labor of love.
+Alan C When someone loves George and John as much as a die-hard fan does, it is not really hard work :) Thank you for your comment, I am happy you enjoyed the video :D
Indeed... great words. Thanks so much
Alan C thanks very much xxx
Love you
Paola Quezada Excellent indeed! I was born in 1954 so I really appreciate your video!
Love these guys ..... miss them so much!! Genius .... fun!!
Great job Paulina. Man i miss both of them and their passing had a major impact on me. John's death got me out of my sad apathetic state and I became an activists and still am. When George passed, it became a huge inspiration to keep my job at the cancer society, which i did for nearly 7 years and to finally quit smoking after 27 years. RIP John @ George. You remain alive in my heart and soul.
ALL THOSE YEARS TO GO ... with all their great music and insight. God bless all the boys!.
Miss Those Two! May John Lennon & George Harrison Rest in Peace.
God Bless.
Beautiful thank you
I miss you John and George
When this came out in 1981....radio stations were calling it the new "Beatles" single!
Paul on backing vocals and Ringo on drums: same number of Beatles who were on "Here Comes The Sun," for instance.
I read that it was rare for all four Beatles to be in the recording studio at the same time.In the early days i think they were but later they would individually go in do their bit and go home
I think it really depends on which album you are talking about. Some superfan probably will fill us in in detail. :)
Jim Cushman , that was true, I remember
I also remember there was an air of mystery about who performed on the song. It wasn’t officially confirmed until much later.
John Lennon was a great classic icons and song righter.
George playing slide guitar on John's How Do You Sleep is one of my favorites...Nice tribute w.the pics.....
I will always remember reading about how John was a little unsure of George, him being a kid compared to him....But he was accepted....then, we know the rest..........
To be this sure about anything it has to be worth 4 mins of smiles - Thank you George HK
Thank you George for all the smiles and tears today, from this video. I hope you are RIP and in heaven now.
this has such an upbeat vibe to it but the lyrics just hit me so hard. I never met John Lennon, never got to know him. I’m a complete stranger to him but this songs still makes me so sad. I can’t imagine the pain Paul, George and Ringo must’ve felt at John’s passing. jesus I can’t that’d be so painful.
If John was right, they exist now in our memories. If George was right, they are performing on cloud Nine no doubt. I miss them dearly.
Jack Slak why couldn't it be both?
Provided that 'Cloud Nine you refer to has a Swami and a sitar on it...
George was my favorite of the Fab. All those years ago, my heart aches for a time machine.
This video is absolutely awesome, especially that it's tribute to both John Lennon and George Harrison!
miss you both so much and a whole musicworld suffers a big loss!!! maria in sweden,
Released in May 1981...George on lead vocals...Paul and Linda on backing vocals...and Ringo on drums...got as high as #2 on the Billboard charts...
Love this. John and George Forever Remembered. ✌️
Only a Beatle will ever know what a Beatle went through!
Four very unique people that went on the wildest ride anyone could imagine in their wildest dreams! The Fab Four!!
They are both up in heaven now RIP John and gorge 😭😭😭😭😭
and then there were two.RIP GEORGE AND JOHN.
Those four guys literally changed the world.
I miss them in the world but I know they live still and I love them and they are forever in my prayers as are Paul and Ringo. 🙏
Wonderful tribute to Lennon. He was the one who pushed and cajoled and, through sheer will, kept the core (himself, Harrison, and McCartney) going during the first, lean years.
Sooo many great songs I'd heard on the radio over the years that I really loved and yet had no idea they were sung by George Harrison... I'm glad everything is on yt nowadays!
Bellissime foto Bellissimo ricordo di George e JOHN
very touching, tears in my eyes !
George e Lennon eram os mais talentosos do grupo, suas melodias são perfeitas.
Se me salen las lágrimas de ver a estos monstruos del rock&roll , descansen en paz , chingones de chingones
I sure love and miss both of their talents. They were both Great Music writers and Great singers. They were just Great human beings...😢
The dynamic duo of rock stars will forever be missed. All those years ago...
Linda canção!!!!!! Love
