He wrote this for his then wife, Patti Boyd. Eric Clapton wrote Layla, Wonderful Tonight & Bell Bottem Blues for her also. So Patti had 4 of the best love songs written about her. She must have been something.
And yet they both cheated on her.
"She must have been Something." Nice one.
George also wrote “I Need You” for her.
He met her on the set of “A Hard Day’s Night”. She is the one who got George, and hence the other Beatles, interested in Hinduism.
That's her, always wondered what she looked like
I'm 70 years old and it's difficult for someone who didn't grow up in the sixties to understand the impact The Beatles had on popular music. They have an incredibly large and diverse catalogue of songs and to watch their musical advancement over such a short period of time was a joy and wonder to behold. No band was doing what they were doing and oftentimes they would have 5 songs in the top 10 and their number 1 songs would chart for months and months.
Each album got more daring and bold and progressive and I was utterly in awe of how much they could change the direction of their sound from album to album especially after 1965 when they stopped touring and could really focus on their studio music. They forever changed the musical landscape and their influence on other generations is enormous!
A not just music. They had a huge influence on our culture in many ways. Everything from hair to clothes to politics
Yeah, they went from 'Please please me' to "Strawberry Fields' in four years. Incredible musical growth!!
@@steppingrazor5520 To me that is the hardest thing to explain to the younger listeners. How much influence they had in other areas of culture - let alone the music they produced. I am 68 and remember how the courts got involved in the length of hair allowed in school do to everyone wanting a "Beatles Cut" - against school dress codes. Kids absolutely refused to get a hair cut because The Beatles wore their hair long. My local schools were kicking kids out for having their hair over the ears and it finally made it to the courts and they ruled that you could not deny the education because of the length of the hair. And, that is just one example of the culture shock from them. And how the refused to perform a concert until it was racially integrated.
Very well said.
Just when we thought it was all over, bam, they reinvented themselves. "Help" was an astonishing transition to young ears, I remember the impact to those of us who thought "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was the peak lol.
I'm an old white guy (73 years) who started listening to the Beatles in 1964 when I was 13, so they dominated the music scene during my adolescence. I loved the Beatles. And all that said, I get such total joy watching the two of you experience the same joy 60 years later. It just underscores the unique talents and sounds they created. Your comments are so intelligent, intuitive, heartfelt, and often surprising in that you are hearing things in the Beatles that I have never heard, even after all these years. So thank you for your channel, and thansk for sharing your joy.
I seriously think the Beatles will be remembered in hundreds of years like Beethoven and Mozart
I believe Paul McCartney once said, 'the pop music of today is the classical music of tomorrow'. I don't for a moment think it was a comment on his or the Beatles success so much as an informed observation.
❤ completely agree!
De momento ya llevan 60 años.
I don't think, I am absolutely sure they will be remembered forever ♾️

Fun Fact: The legendary Frank Sinatra himself said that he thought this was the best love song he'd ever heard. In fact, he liked it so much, he recorded his own version of it. You don't get much higher praise than from The Chairman Of The Board...
When Sinatra first began singing the song in concert he mistakenly credited it to Lennon/McCartney
Also, Harrison was not initially pleased that Sinatra was singing his song. George was not a fan of Sinatra, who was a generation before him. He was pleased when Smokey Robinson and James Brown sang it. It was only when Harrison got older that he realized what an honor it was for Sinatra to choose to put it in his live set
He also used to mistakenly give credit to Lennon and McCartney in concert...
While promoting, Abbey Road, in 1969, John Lennon described George Harrison's “Something” as “about the best track on the album.” Anyone that knows about Lennon's competitive nature, this is very high praise. I love Harrison's writing. This is my favorite Beatles' song and is on several of my playlists. From this same album is Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun," which I listen to once a week as one of my "get up and be thankful for the day" songs.
Absolutely true. Sonata said it was the greatest love song ever written and it never says the words I love you!
Came here to see this comment
George Harrison was one of the most-underrated songwriters of all time.
Also, Paul McCartney's bassline in this song is just amazing.
Never thought of George as underrated. He always had great chops IMO. If he was ever underrated it was by his audience, certainly not his peers. Cheers....
They were only recording together for 8 years, but it feels like they were together for decades
There will never be another band like them. They are in a class all by themselves.
Frank Sinatra called this the best love song ever written.
Even if he credited Lennon and McCartney, it's pretty high praise.
…written by “Lennon/McCartney” 😂
@@SteveWeintraub346 He praised it as THE best and THEIR best(Lennon/McCartney) ...not knowing that it was written by George
@@BasicallyBananasOr maybe not caring?
I'd have to agree with Frank
George was always my favorite Beatle. Love his voice, his style, his writing.
George remains to this day my favorite Beatle.
Mine too. He definitely was the most genuine soul of the four of them.
I agree with you 100% George was my favorite Beatle going back to the beginning!!✌🏾
Mine too!
@@trinasp And mine.
As I watched this video again I was saddened by the knowledge that half of those people are no longer with us: Ringo's wife Maureen, Paul's wife Linda, and of course John and George. Having this video to remember them is really something to treasure.
As a drummer, I can't imagine any of the standard "rock beats" going with this melody. Ringo was a genius.
Totally agreed.
I'm completely non-musical, but the drumming in this really elevates an already great song. It's practically the lead instrument. McCartney's bass line if pretty great too.
When asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, John replied 'hes not even the best drummer in the Beatles "
@@KMN-bg3yu Famously, that's apocryphal. Lennon never said that, but a comedian did in a comedy skit.
Whenever I've heard a drummer talk about Ringo it's with respect, people like Phil Collins , one of the best drummers of his generation said that many drummers couldn't even play "A Day In the Life" properly. The Ringo Roll is a thing, it comes from being left handed and if you ever hear someone smugly saying Ringo was bad you'll know they know nothing about rhythm or even music.
Paul's bass line is so good on this. ☮💜🎶
George thought it was too busy, but he was wrong. One of the best bass performances on a rock record, it totally elevates an already classic song.
Not to mention the drums. You could take either Paul's or Ringo's part in isolation and identify the song because they were so melodic.
Completely agree.
And Ringo's drums!!!
Indeed, one of the more memorable bass lines in pop history. I especially love how carefully - tenderly almost - he gets out of the way of George's guitar solo, while still giving the song what it needs in terms of ornamentation. Genius.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time
It’s perfect.
Ringo's fills on this one so subtle, adding so much elegant beauty. Such a work of art.
Frank Sinatra said that this was the greatest love song of all time. And…it never uses the word LOVE
Actually it does say love..."You're asking me will my love grow...I don't know I don't know"
Touché
hadn't seen your post and posted the same thing !!
It never says “I love you”.
it doesn't have to...u think it's a breakup song lol@@irvxan
Probably one of the most beautiful love songs ever written George hit a home run with this one…. nuff said.
I'll never forget the footage of George's early work on "Something" that was uncovered thanks to the "Get Back" documentary; he had the melody but was stuck on the lyrics and was asking the others for advice. In the end, George found what he needed.
Probably?
I can't believe they are spending so much time commenting on the damn video. Shut the video off. Listen to the song.
@@redpine8665 This is why reactors get confused b/c others complain about them closing their eyes during reactions.
To be honest I’m just happy that this young couple is discovering this music and spreading it around for others to enjoy. I get a kick out them being surprised on how good the music is. The meanings of these songs will all come around over time just like it did for us
McCartney's greatest performance on bass guitar. It's practically flawless.
Ringo's drum fills are pretty damn good too.
It's just the perfect love song.
Hofner bass guitar. I can hear that same guitar in Paul McCartney's my love song. Incredible sound
As a fellow bass player, I 1,000% agree... Not an easy feat either, as he's produced so many amazing bass lines.
It is good but my favorite bass line by Paul is Nowhere Man
I can't help but get a bit teary-eyed whenever I see Paul and Linda together.
Riight?!
Yes 😢
I really don't see what that has to do with this song, sorry!
@@tedmohr6353 Specifically, not much. I've just heard how in love the two were and it's sad that Linda died.
Linda was a beautiful soul.
That's one of the best bass lines Paul put into that song, being a professional bass man, it was excellent, one of their best songs.
Exactly. It really is exceptional.
And so often overlooked as well !
and he of all people thought it was a bit too loud and busy, but it must have been George Martin who decided to turn it up, which was very effective
@@paulinegallagher7821 Grand Funk Railroad had a high volume bass, much needed in a 3 piece band, if you have a great bass player, and they did.
Paul is underrated as a bassist!
For a band who recorded, only from 1963 until 1969,they are amazing . Here there and everywhere is stunning
Yes and everything they wrote as Beatles was while in their 20's. When they broke up, Ringo the oldest, was still a few months from turning 30
They played for 7 hours a Night at The Star Club, Hamburg for 5 months, without any break whatsoever to perfect their Art and the rest from their first UK hit in 1962 is history..:)
I just loved him as a man and person. He would have been amazing even if he’d not been famous. Just our luck he was and the world did know of him. He was always my favorite Beatle.
Actually, to be accurate about it, The Beatles recorded from 1962 - 1970.
@@dggydddy59 The single Love Me Do was recorded in October 62, the first album was recorded in 63, the last album recorded was Abbey Road in 1969, the Let It Be album was released in 1970, though recorded before Abbey Road.
So apart from the first single their recording career ran from 63-69.
A favorite anecdote of mine is Dhani Harrison, as a very young boy, saying he thought his father was "just a gardener" because that is where his father spent so much time. George must have found much peace in his garden from the high pressure life of one of the most famous musicians in the world. Much of his music reflects that peace.
didn't they say that george was the senstive quiet hippy one?
@@sarablack2547 Yes, he was described as the quiet one. I think he was a deeply spiritual man.
@@ziggymarlowe5654 yes that's what I thought spiritual in a being one with the elements rather than religious.
Dhani also told how he enrolled in the Royal Air Force academy (Because how do you rebel against Hippie parents?) which he graduated from with a Master’s degree. And he was all high and mighty to his dad. “Come on, I did all that at only 23 years of age! You gotta give me that, dad!”
At which George brought him very firmly back to earth by stating, “What was I doing at 23? I was doing 'Sgt Peppers'.” Yeah, Dhani, it's VERY difficult to one up your old man, when he was part of the Beatles.
@@RastaSaiyaman Love that story! George wanting his son to remain grounded.
It does my heart good to see people 50 years younger than me enjoying the same music I love.
I truly think the Beatles are one of very, very few things that can unite all generations through love and understanding. I’m 33, and even though by the time I was born John had been dead for a decade and the Beatles had been over for 20 years, it feels like I do fundamentally understand why they have been such a huge cultural phenomenon since they first debuted. You just can’t help but love their music, their wit, their separate and united personalities. It also helps that their sense of humor is incredibly close to the type of humor younger people have today, and I actually think their humor specifically really bridges so many differences among people. Because I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t fall over themselves over “how did you find America?” “turn left at Greenland hahaha”. They were just so precious, and Paul and Ringo still being here with us genuinely feels like a gift.
Hopefully I’ll be able to go see Paul live. I’ve seen some of his most recent concerts on UA-cam and the guy still basically has the same energy, prowess and creativity as he did in the 70s. Which is positively insane. And I’d like to go see Ringo too.
I just… love these people so much. And I feel love for all Beatles fans. ❤
@@ManubibiWalsh very well put! Way better then me and im 56. Love to see people in their 30s understand.
The Beatles were simply the greatest band that will ever grace this world and will be remembered as long as mankind exists
Stop it you weirdo
Aliens from other planets monitoring earth listen to the Beatles.
So many of The Beatles songs are written by Lennon/McCartney but I love how this song (among others) showcases George Harrison’s talent in creating meaningful lyrics. LOVE This song! ❤
I always loved the Beatles! Back then I was one of those girls screaming when they came around! After awhile I got use to them I stop getting crazy and learned to appreciate their meaningful songs! They are still my fav of all time!
@@sheilameyers152 my mom raised me on The Beatles! 🥰 She used to go to their concerts and was in a fan club and everything. She told me girls would scream so loud at the concerts that her ears would ring for hours afterward 😂
It's been said that George and Ringo would get one maybe two songs per album. When they split George had a lot of songs he had written but not recorded.
@@guyray1504 Because George was younger and didn't have anyone to really push him the way Lennon and McCartney had each other, his songwriting was a little behind them in terms of quality. By about 1968, he'd pretty much caught up, and we discovered that he could write love songs as well as Paul, and could write biting social commentary like John, but without the sledgehammer approach John sometimes slipped into.
It's said that Frank Sinatra once that Something was the greatest love song ever written. Quite a compliment!!!
Another thing to remember is that the entire Beatles recording career only lasted about 7 years. Over two hundred songs and the evolution of their sound is nothing short of remarkable. Then there is the growth of fashion from the mop tops with suits to the way they looked during this album which is the last recording they did. Amazing. Thanks for getting to more George.
This by far is the most remarkable essence of the Beatles. These guys did more in one year then most bands did in 30.
@@prettyteeth I quite agree. I've never seen a band who made such incredible strides in one short year, it was astounding to watch their progression!
That's what was so difficult to comprehend Brad d, all this incredible music in such a short period of time. I would just marvel at their musical progression in one short year. I'm not aware of any band who made such great strides from album to album!
Dont for get the Beatles were singing in liverpool & Germany before they made it big to stardom !!
People forget or don't know about this INCREDIBLE FEAT
Jay you have a precious gem in Amber! She's intelligent, beautiful and funny!! Love to hear her laugh!😆
Amber is a sweetheart
The Beatles created magic together, each one of them brought their style and soul to create one of a kind music!
You guys have actually reacted to a George Harrison-led Beatles song before: Here Comes The Sun. Both these songs are from the final album they recorded, Abbey Road, and were two of the best songs on the album. They really signified that George had reached Lennon & McCartney level with his songwriting.
Yes. It's a shame that The Beatles broke up just as George was reaching his prime as a songwriter.
They've also reacted to While My Guitar Gently Weeps
@@Jeff_Lichtman To be fair, none of their solo material matches up w/ their top Beatles material, except for "Imagine".
@@jp3813 to be fair, that is your opinion
@@MarkCucchiara Not only mine.
How can you miss Ringo's drumming, his timing is impeccable.
I agree so much, most drummers walking into this song during recording would probably play a 12 bar blues on the ride. Just his hihat work was brilliant Such a great drummer
I think Abbey Road has the best drumming of any album ever. It is all opinion though. Everything Ringo throws out on that album is perfection.
The more I listen to them (which is a LOT!) the more I appreciate Ringo. His fills on A Day In The Life just make me smile. The song wouldn’t be the same without them or if they were the same fill every time.
It’s nice to hear people appreciate what he did in that band. A lot of people who don’t understand drumming think each band needs a Neal Peart or a Mr Bonham. It doesn’t work like that. You won’t put Charlie Watts in the Police or Ringo in the Who. Ringo was perfect for their style and very important part of their sound. Thanks.
@@michaelmullins6396 And the Bass line on Dear Prudence!!!
Paul's bass line!!!! One of the most underrated bassists of all time. Love you guys!!
Imagine being a 14 year old girl when the Beatles arrived on the scene. And biting every new album in succession and playing the grooves out till the next one in six months. That was me! Growing up with the Beatles. 😍
George’s best song. You HAVE to listen to the live version of this at the Concert For George. One of the best live performances of all time.
This one: ua-cam.com/video/Xl-BNTeJXjw/v-deo.html
Here Comes the Sun?
Paul plays this at all his concerts for his tribute to George. He starts it out by playing it on a ukulele while singing it, and then later in the song he changes to his guitar and the whole band kicks in to play the rest as it was on the recording. He starts with the ukulele because it was George's favorite instrument, believe it or not. It's really lovely doing it that way.
You guys should check out “0h Darling” The emotion and the grit in the vocals are powerful! Even if you don’t react to it, give it a listen for your heart.
That song !! WHOA!!
They changed music like no other band did. Their influence was permanent. Every time you hear it is just like the first time you heard it.
It's so awesome to see the difference in the years and how they grew together and apart. They are the Greatest Band ever.💜🎶🎵☮✌
When you think of bands that have been around 30 years or 40 years and then you stop and realize that The Beatles were together and did everything that they did in less than 10 years!
Too short😞
@stickman so you're saying that what I said isn't true? Name any other band that did what the Beatles did in under 10 years.... second thought don't bother
@stickman they didn't change their legacy. They were immediately one of the top bands ever, and stayed there.
Frank Sinatra said that this is the greatest love song ever written! What a tremendous compliment from a man that knew a thing or two about love songs!
Paul and John both agreed that George's two compositions on Abbey Road were the best. Something and Here Comes The Sun. In the animosity of the last album they made together their glorious music shines through. They just can't help themselves. The real tear jerker is the version of this that Paul and Eric Clapton performed at the memorial concert for George in 2002. Definitely worth checking out.
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
This is a beautifully crafted song. The Beatles were amazing. Never gets old.
George recorded his guitar solo live and with the orchestra. This was due to the fact that the Beatles had only 1 track remaining to record on. This was most likely a seperate 4 track machine that was mixed on to that final remaining track. George nailed it in 1 take. That's a tricky solo and George delivered the goods. 'Something' has become not just a classic. It entered the realm of being a bona-fide Standard. Great reaction R S R. Merry Christmas, RNB
It's a well known fact that Abbey Road was most certainly recorded on 8 track. Not 4.
@@jimhines5145 Hey Jim. What I am inferring is the orchestra and the guitar solo were recorded on a separate 4 track machine and then mixed to track 8 of the master.. The same technique as was previously used on A Day in the life. That time the 4 track recording of the orchestra was mixed to track 4 of the master. Cheers, RNB
@@jimhines5145 The Beatles were on 8-track about halfway through the White Album sessions.
@@amb2745 Oh yeah. I have read "The Beatles Recording Sessions" at least a half dozen times. I also have "Recording the Beatles : The Studio Equipment and Techniques Used to Create Their Classic Albums". An amazing document as well (but not focused on actual recording sessions). It is now extremely hard to find, unfortunately. If you don't have it, do try to find one. Well worth it, especially if you can find one with all the extras.
The Chairman of the Board aka Frank Sinatra said “Something is the most beautiful song ever written.” High praise from someone whose sung a ballad or two. Another fine reaction from the Rob Squad!
And yet, at the start of Beatlemania. he was very negative about them. Or was that, very jealous?
And Sinatra used to mock the Beatles saying they wouldn't last and that they're just a bunch of provincials. He ate his words eventually.
I am from Liverpool and only a few years ago my mother told us that she dated George Harrison for a while back in the 60’s (we had no idea). She also worked in a big store in the city and at lunch times she would go to the Cavern and watch The Beatles play when they were virtually unknown!!!! Crazy!
Was it Blacklers?
They NEVER repeated themselves, every album was different than the one before..they were magic!
They kind of produced their albums in pairs, with exceptions, and something new each time added showing their growth as musicians and artists. The interim album singles were kind of the shifting points between these similarities.
The first two albums were very similar. Then A Hard Days Night was a sound track and so stood on its own.
Beatles for Sale and Help were pretty similar, then Rubber Soul and Revolver were similar to each other in a different way.
Sgt Pepper, and Magical Mystery Tour were very similar in style, while the White Album and the songs they did for the Yellow Submarine Sound track were similar to each other. Abbey Road was a stand alone, and Let It be was sort of a mish-mosh of different styles they had produced over the years less any psychedelic songs.
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😂😂😅😂@@imkluu😂😂😂
George’s SO here is his wife Pattie Boyd. She divorced George and married Eric Clapton in 1979. She appears in the Beatles’ first film, A Hard Day’s Night, which you really should watch-it is hilarious and has the best soundtrack ever.
Another vote for watching "A Hard Day's Night"! It's witty and beautifully filmed and has a killer soundtrack, of course.
George wrote some of the most beautiful songs ever,something, here comes the sun,while my guitar gently weeps ❤
Widely considered one of the most romantic songs of all time. George Harrison. His voice, his lyrics, his loving and gentle soul. ❤️
Always love The Beatles!!! Your comment of "We've done a lot of Beatles". A lot of songs in total, but not a lot when compared to their catalog. I often feel sorry for you if you are only going to discover Beatles on your channel because it will be decades before you hear some amazing music.
It's already been that way. Heck, the fact that they're only now exploring iconic movies also means that they've yet to discover many great scores by John Williams, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Alan Silvestri, etc...
I agree, the number of Beatles' songs they have already reacted to is a "drop in the bucket" compared to the Beatles' ENTIRE catalogue
Other great songs by George are "Think For Yourself" "If I Needed Someone" "Taxman" "Here Comes The Sun" "Old Brown Shoe" and "For You Blue"
I would add “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” to this list.
You forgot "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Though Jordan and Amber have already reacted to that song.
@@sarahfullerton6894 that's why I left it off ... they already did it
@@kathleenhudson8429 they already did it
@@bryanstarke2931, okay, I thought maybe so..
(I see, said the blind man, as the dead mule kicked him in the eye!)
Think about the fact that everything this band recorded, all the different phases they went through, was only over an 8 year period. It's incredible.
I’m a 68 year old that grew up with The Beatles. It’s great to see a much younger generation, like yourselves, appreciate their music.
One of my favorite Beatles songs! Absolutely think that Paul's bass playing in this song really makes it.
So happy you did this one. It's one of my faves. Btw, Frank Sinatra said this was the most beautiful love song he ever heard...and sang.
It is one of the greatest songs ever. It’s an absolute masterpiece. Unparalleled.
The perfection of the George’s vocals, lyrics, descending and ascending tonal/chord progression, that soaring middle 8 the signature riff, bass line by McCartney, that guitar solo.
Its no wonder Frank Sinatra called it one of the greatest love songs ever. It’s also one of the most coveted Beatles songs ever. Everyone from Elvis, Ray Charles, James Brown, Celine Dion, Billie illish have done a cover of it.
Another masterpiece from George Harrison - known as the Quiet Beatle - along with My Guitar gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun! Apparently this song has been covered by more artists than any other! Check out Shirley Bassey's cover!!
George Harrison is my favorite Beatle. His songs are so heartfelt!
Do yourself a favor and buy and listen to an entire Beatles album in its entirety. That is how we listened to them when they came out! That is how they are designed to be listened to!!! Love you guys! You have come a long way!
This song & All My Lovin' are my favorite Beatles songs. The Beatles have Always been & will always Be my favorite group
George’s evolution into a songwriting force to be reckoned with, while in that band, is unbelievable. That he holds the distinction of having written the two best tracks on The Beatles’ final album is an incredible feat, even if perhaps John and Paul weren’t in best form on that one. He famously soured on being treated as a little brother by those two, but also producer George Martin expressed regret later in life, that he didn’t pay more attention to George’s songwriting. All of this meant that George was arguably the happiest of the four when the band broke up - free to pursue his musical ambitions in full. Which he did.
This song was covered by Frank Sinatra, who called it the greatest love song of the 20th century. Some accolade.
Imagine being Brian E. and George M, trying to manage and produce all that talent! The fact that John, Paul, and George were teenagers when they started playing together is amazing (At an awards event, George's widow, Olivia, praised Neil Aspinall for his guidance during their very early years. They were school friends. What a journey they took!).
There Is a sweetness and purity to this song that is so very special. Hey, Jordan, when your man, Frank Sinatra, first heard this song, he said it was the best love song he had heard in 50 years. He then went on to sing Something in almost every concert of his after that, but he always credited the song on stage to Lennon/McCartney instead of George Harrison. The song is beguiling in its simple beauty, but will forever stay in one's heart, and has become one of the signal moments in music.
Something es la Madre de todas las Baladas. My Sweet George 🎸❤️🎸❤️
John has noted that this is the best song on 'Abbey Road', in his opinion. And to think that none of these guys could read or write music and to have turned the musical world upside down as a hugely popular international group....and they broke up before turning 30 years old. Breathtaking
This and Here Comes the Sun are George's two best Beatles songs. Although John and Paul were the main writers, he definitely wrote two of the most memorable ones.
And still my guitar gently weeps
@@jlb6 Taxman, If I Needed Someone, I Want to Tell You, I could name a ton of George's great songs but I just figured those were the two most popular.
magneto...best to put 'i think'.....love both the songs but i would put 'within you without you' ahead of here comes the sun.....and somebody else might, gasp, disagree with me
@@brupic8968 I wouldn't disagree with you at all. In fact, that might be my favorite song of his. I love that whole arrangement. I just mentioned two of his most well-received songs. I probably should have worded it different, but I'm sure those are two of his songs that are probably covered the most.
@@magneto7930 on reflection.....while my guitar gently weeps might be there too.....he might be one of most underrated writers of that time once he was able to get the two big boys' attention. i lived in japan for 19 years on and off. spent one afternoon in saitama at the john lennon museum which was yoko's doing. it's closed now. never saw them live but a friend of mine saw them at maple leaf gardens in '64. ticket was $5.50
I was 5 years old when this came out and I still remember the first time I heard it. And that memory is one of my earliest memories of the Beatles and I have loved their music ever since. There's the Beatles and then there's everyone else.
It's All about Love just love it
What makes their variety of music so interesting is the fact that they were together, as a band, for such a short time - only 10 years, from 1960-1970.
George Harrison is always been one of my favorite singers his voice is just so gentle and soothing
One of their best! Absolutely love this song. It’s also to me one of the best love songs ever. This shaggy look is my favorite Beatles look.
This is probably the best love song ever written.
It's _never_ to late to become a Beatles FAN! I just turned *_*39_** yesterday! I've been a fan probably since the late 1980s! I was SEVEN by Dec. 1990!
Someone once asked Keith Richards what the difference was between the Stones and The Beatles. Keith said "we have one singer; they have 4."
Yes!! My favourite Beatles song. Probably George’s most beautiful guitar solo and Pauls bassline is unbelievable.
For a crazy solo song, listen to Paul McCartney's "Monkberry Moon Delight"! It's a crazy trip!
Also, for two beautiful Beatles songs, listen to "Michelle", and "Because". For a heavy-metal type rocker, listen to Paul McCartney's wild "Helter Skelter". That's also a trip. And I really think you both would like "Oh, Darling".
Merry, blessed Christmas to your family! Cheers!🎄✝️🎅⛄
YES YES YES, HELTER SKELTER, OH DARLING, and then listen to "HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE" and see how DIFFERENT Paul's voice can sound
This song and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are my favorite Beatles song and it's awesome that both were written by George Harrison. I know many people were all about Lennon and McCartney, rightfully so they're incredible. Harrison just wrote amazing lyrics. They're meaningful and momentary. It's just great poetry to me. 😎👍
"Something" is on the Abbey Road album. You really need to listen to the whole album as each song leads into the next song, seamlessly. The whole album is much more of a treat than each individual song.
Don't underrate your contribution to keeping the great sounds alive for this and the next generations. Like a pebble in the pond, you never know where those ripples may reach. If I, at the age of 64, can hear a song from when I was 10 and still feel the thrill - you have done something really great. I loved sharing the music I had back in my 20s with family and friends; you are doing the same now with hundreds of thousands of younger people. I appreciate you and everything you do. Keep up the good work!
When their first album came out, they were 19-21 years old. John being thevoldest...George the youngest. 😍😍😍😍
If I’m not mistaken Ringo was the oldest of the Beatles and then John next Paul and George the youngest
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
The Beatles charted 64 total songs on the Hot 100 between 1964 and 1970, of which 20 hit No. 1 - a record that still stands.
Very earnest, sensual, powerful, vulnerable, and unsure. For me, one of the greatest love songs written.
Loved Ringo's drumming and Paul's bass on this one.
Greatest group EVER! , not even a close second.
I've heard this song more times than I can count, but watching you experience this for the first time brought a tear to my eye.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Let It Be"!!!!
"Something" has been covered or sampled over 540 times!!
They should listen to Yesterday. It is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the most covered song ever.
@@brettdrought6181 yes, over 1000 covers!
Yesterday is one of my all time favorite songs. And how about Octopus’s Garden or Yellow Submarine.
These women were their wives. Paul's wife Linda was actually a part of his Wings band.
They grew right before our eyes. I grew up with the Beatles. You can't get any better than the Beatles!! They are still amazing.
At the time this video was made, WIngs didn't exist yet and so Linda was not yet in the band, she was though a photographer and had been shooting photos of a lot of other rock bands before Paul met her.
I have a great memory of this song, I was at a grocery store… This song was playing on the speakers and as I walked around the store, every aisle I went down everybody was singing along, not just kind of singing along, I mean I’ve heard other songs at the grocery store that people were singing along to but this was different, they were singing it so loudly and proud. So everyone is singing the same song everywhere I go throughout the store.. it was really cool. That’s only ever happened to me one other time and it was “pretty woman” by Roy Orbison. Again every aisle I walk down every single person was singing along like they were part of the band. It’s so fun when that happens
I need to shop at that grocery store...........
Keep in mind, The Beatles began recording their debut album in December 1962. While Let zit Be came out in 1970, Abbey Road was actually the last album recorded and that was finished in August 1969. So between 12/62 & 8/69 they recorded 10 full albums. 1 double album, 2 EPs, and nearly two CDs filled with singles and German language tracks. Plus they filmed two movies and a TV show, plus the Yellow Submarine animated film with a couple of new songs. And all the footage that became the old doc for Let It Be and the new amazing documentary Get Back. The Beatles were a recording band fir a very short period and didca ton in that time.
One of the greatest love songs of all time. Beautiful lyrics and many musical lines that come together in this truly amazing song. The bass line, especially near the beginning of the last verse is fantastic.
George was a phenomenal singer/songwriter in The Beatles and in his solo career. His first solo album “All Things Must Pass” is a masterpiece!! Check out “What is Life” and “My Sweet Lord”
The stars aligned and 4 young men played and left the WHOLE WORLD a precious GIFT !!! Peace Love and massive RESPECT. Influenced my life for over 50 yrs . THANK YOU THANK YOU
YES! George's buzzy, strng-bending guitar style was FAB :)
Another fantastic song by George Harrison! It's timeless! 😽💋🎶💞
My favorite song ever. Just perfection. Btw, I think you reacted to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “Here Comes the Sun.” Those we’re both written by George.
Written for Pattie Boyd Georges wife, when they split she left to be with George's pal Eric Clapton he wrote 2 songs inspired by her LAYLA and WONDERFUL TONIGHT.
Decades of Beatle tunes, you can listen as they grow as musicians and song writers, and don't forget the producer George Martin. He had a lot to do with their growth and helped them get the sound they wanted.
This song stands out as the one my mother actually loved! She was in her forties by this time-- it bridged the gap. ❤
Its one of the most beautiful song ever written!
Paul and John took so much of the writing space on every Beatles album that George had tons of fantastic stuff waiting when he went solo. He was every bit as talented as the others.
U 2 I swear it makes me smile to hear 2 people 50 years later so appreciate the Beatles, there will never be another as the Beatles, just awesome and their songs never forgettable......thanks guys....great job...
Amber, music by the Beatles may be forever but it's nothing if young people don't listen to it. You two are Ambasadors of this music now and it's your duty to mankind to help others hear it. 😉
