@@Unholygamewinner Who rates him? I'm sick and tired of hearing "underrated this" and "underrated that". Fact is George is on top right beside John and Paul.

@@CiscoDuck Your Point is well taken, but listen to George's acoustic version of the song and you see it is a great song even without Eric or anybody else.
The acoustic version is basically a run through rather than a take to familiarize Paul & Ringo with the tune - John was not there that day. So it's little more than an in-studio demo. It doesn't compare to the issued take or the 2018 remix of the same take with the rest of the lads plus Eric. Certainly in it's rawest form whether the Esher demo or the acoustic version just released it's a brilliant song. My coment was based on the complete issued take and/or the 2018 remix. Eric certainly delivered the goods to put the tune over the top - which is exactly what George wanted EC to do. He didn't ask John or Paul to play lead and he didn't take on the job himself outside of playing counterpoint with Eric towards the end of Eric's bits - that's the two of them having a go together in a very like situation that Eric and Duane Allman would do on Layla a year or so later.
The fact that Eric Clapton didn't want to be noted on While My Guitar Gently Weeps shows you how much respect he had for those musicians. But he did make this song Awesome.
Benjamin Kelk Egypt Station was good but not best thing Paul has done. I enjoyed but it isn't that great. Imagine kinda sucks so I don't care; just not a fan of John's solo career. So I don't care about Image but I liked Egypt Station and am hyped for the American tour and The White Album box set! Certainly buying the four lp set!

@@curtes78 Paul is on bass, but John plays a 12 string during the bridge thats mirroring the bass. It's been mixed out on this version though, and it was very low on the original to begin it. You can hear it on the isolated bass track.
God, Paul's bass playing on this song is insane. The melodic bassline that layers so nicely with the rhythm of George's vocals, the staccato, muted powerchords during the verses. Single notes initially during the first verse and then launching into those striking powerchords, as if to say "Here we go folks, feel the power and emotion behind George's vocals in this next chorus!". Amazing, simply amazing.
@@user-dw6rz5rm2m Nonsense. That video is simply speculation. 1) Paul McCartney talks about recording the bass in the documentary "McCartney 3,2,1". 2) George states in a CNN interview that Paul recorded the bass. 3) All official documentation only credits Paul McCartney. Paul is playing bass...
George was always a bit nervous about his music, according to George Martin. Apparently he was quite aware he was not the best songwriter in the band. Yet with this incredible tune he finally unfolded his wings and created a foundation for his future masterpieces, such as "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun". R.I.P legendary George Harrison, the most underrated and silent Beatle
He had to fight for studio time, fight to get his songs on the albums, fight to get to play on his songs when they are on the albums. (That's Paul's solo on "Taxman" becase George Martin thought George Harrison was "taking too long". I don't know how many times George Martin took a part from Paul or John for "taking too long" but I suspect it wasn't many, if ever. Somehow in those conditions he wrote this and Somthing along with all his other great Beatles songs not to mention most of All Things Must Past. I wish the Len-Mac machine could have realized what a song writing talent they had right under their noses.
@@1978garfieldacting like George was treated as a 'second class' beatle is ridiculous, Paul and John treated George with the utmost respect and encouraged him to record and play his songs despite George's own hesitance, it is ludicrous to suggest that George had to fight for recording time. Look at anywhere on the Get Back documentary and you'll see. And Paul and John both agreed George had some of the best songs on Abbey Road, so don't think they didn't think he was an amazing songwriter. Sorry if this was slightly aggressive, just the story that George had to fight the other beatles for recording time is blatantly wrong, and was made up during the nasty break up.
@@Mysterx1440 I think John’s musical creativity was not George’s equal. John’s songwriting was very uneven. For every classic like Imagine he cranked out a half dozen mediocrities. (I Am the Walrus, Happiness is a warm gun) And, the political themes in his songs were naïve and negative, and repetitively populist (Give Peace a Chance). George’s contribution was to infuse the Beatles with spirituality. It was a humanistic take on the subject, his theme being we all need each other to get through this life, rather than be saved by some divine intervention. George gave us Here Comes the Sun, My Sweet Lord, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something. Had the Beatles never formed, I think George would have done all right on his own. John thought himself a genius, and as the French say, he who loves himself will have no rival. (Paul, the beating heart of the Beatles, would have been a superstar like Brian Wilson or Elton John.)

Make sure you check out the Pepper remixes from last Year, if you haven't already. With a Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and Lovely Rita in particular sound incredible
Asshat818 Beleive me I have. I think the remix is most noticeable in the opening of Getting Better. The harmony just sounds so much crisper than the standard version
Yall are also correct. The only one I didnt like was Sgt. Pepper (Reprise). They claimed the mixes were based on the Mono but the crowd is still almost entirely buried in the mix.
Asshat818 you are right there. It doesn't bother me too much as I get very distracted by everything else going on, but mostly the anticipation of A Day In The Life
Ah, I see you're a man of culture. And this song also reminds me of a certian Italian Gang-Stars driving to Venezia while shooting at a an Italian guy that is using ice as armor
This mix has suddenly given the track a much darker tone and depth than it had before. And the immense bass tone across the 2018 remaster is utterly glorious but this is just something else. Beautiful raw and menacing
My favorite of his is The Art If Dying, and of his in the Beatles would be either this (but preferably the Anthology version because I find it more peaceful but this version is much greater in a different sense) or Something.
@@brandonao22 It has nothing to do with George not being able to play it or anything. Because those lead guitar fills and solo are all Eric Clapton's own creation which wasn't arranged until he was at the sessions. George told him to play what he wanted and play how he felt. In fact George asked Eric to play on the track because John and Paul were not giving the song the attention and respect George felt it deserved,so he thought if he got Eric in they would up their game and put more effort in. Lol,George couldn't play it. Don't make me laugh.
Just when you thought The Beatles couldn't sound any better than they have been, along comes this brilliant remix. These guys were geniuses for all ages.
George was underrated. Paul and John should have let him write more. edit: All of the Beatles (and their songs) were amazing. But, we didn't hear every member's full potential.
Mal Evans told Larry Kane in 65 that Paul and John stopped too many of George's songs being used because they knew he was good and getting better, they kept his songs on albums to a minimum, big part of why he left.
He wrote a lot (in fact that’s why All things must pass is a triple Album) but John and Paul (specifically Paul, by George Words) keep the rule that He can only have 2 songs for album. Missed potential there!
There is nothing that can move in the cryogenic world. I can freeze anything in the universe!. That's what makes my White Album perfect! IT CAN FREEZE THE RAGING OCEAN IF I WANT!
@@Happpy8 I love that! If you're interested, you should check out the website "what goes on : Beatles anomalies" that list every details and background noises you can hear on Beatles songs.
George is and always will be the greatest Beatle. Talented, humble, witty, good looking, humanitarian, peaceful, spiritual, good looking, patient, kind, and if course good looking!
This was one of the first Beatles songs that I really remember well. I did know "yellow submarine" and "Octupusses guarden" before that but "while my guitar gently weeps" was one of two Beatles songs we sang in Music class in 8th grade. Ever since then I wanted to learn more about them and 2020 was the Year. So thank you Mr. Wanke for forceing some great Culture into our dumb Teenage Brains. You were the best Music Teacher ever.
I was hardly 18 when this album has been released and I played it to death out loud. This really sounds still great atfer half a century... Great music will never die.
The Beatles were magic. The best band..EVER. Four young men who became a band and changed music forever. That in itself is lightning in a bottle. Noone will ever come close to their music and catalog. Music is my oxygen so I love great many artists and bands. I was very into the Rolling Stones as a teen. I graduated HS in 1975, so I was there for the massive amount of great bands. But..The Beatles were light years ahead of their time. 💙🎼🎵🎶🎵
Everything is a lot clearer, especially the bass is more easily distinguishable with this mix. Guitar and vocals are as good as ever. Drums are a tad quiet. Lead guitar should be louder in my opinion.
My dad was 21 when this album came out and when he went to WoodStock in 69. Pop dropped too much acid and remembered little from the concert but named me Jude when I was born in 76. True Beatles fan he was!
The greatest band, ever, and I miss george so much, loved his solo stuff, love ❤️ and peace, to you all, let's just all get on, that's what the beatles mean, x
this album is so hard to rank songs with (that pretty much goes for any Beatles album) so sadly... kinda. In my opinion of course. Truffle is my favourite but I know that WMGGW is the best. Again in my opinion
This mix has a wonderful clarity and has brought George's voice out excellently, but I'm rather disappointed that the drums are panned to the right and not centred. Clapton's lead should have been centred during the solos as well, I feel. Still, a definite improvement over the previous stereo mixes.
Agreed. Sounds like they were going for a more blended sound. The original mix always had a "separated" sound between all the tracks, especially without ringos high hat driving the rhythm forward. This mix sounds more "gelled" together. really hope the center the drums on dear prudence and helter skelter. ringo is at his peak on the white album and they need to let that shine thru!
@@SG-xx3ir I'm pretty sure the drums on the Helter Skelter remix are panned to the right as well, although as you said, it all seems to blend together somehow, and only becomes noticeable during instrumental breaks. I just hope there aren't any instances of complete silence in a channel, like the start of Martha My Dear; the right channel is silent for 20 seconds or so!
Best song on the album. Always blows my mind that the “revolution” single was not in the final cut of the album because it’s right up there with the greatest Beatles song ever made
The Beatles While my Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still, my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake, we must surely be learning Still, my guitar gently weeps, yeah I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted, too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping Why my guitar gently weeps (I look) look at you all Still, my guitar gently weeps Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, ooh
this lp is a definite addition to my cd collection that Sir Giles Martin and Sam Okell helped to bring new musical life to the Beatles catalog. Father George Martin would certainly be proud to hear this version of their music if he were still among us today. RIP!
what makes the song for me is that organ part everyone talking bout all the other instruments when I first heard that part that’s what really made me like this song
George saw the writing on the wall and wrote this great lament to the days when they were the care free fab-4. I first heard this in 1968. I will still enjoy it if I am around in 2068.
20 años de vida 12 años escuchando a The Beatles, gracias Tío, gracias Familia por permitirme poder apreciar estas obras de arte, Colombia, Latinoamérica
Wow the vocals, bass and guitar sound better than ever. The drums should have been in the center of the mix. Great re release of an iconic Beatles album. I might pick it up later.
I remember listening to this song a lot the year my father passed away. I would get chills because i could hear every detail coming from my recently purchased speakers. But that was nothing compared to this. That hammond in the chorus made me tear up. Bringing back so many memories of when he was still alive...
fun fact for all the jjba fans in this comment section: the localized version of ghiaccio’s stand is called “white ice” which is derived from the original “white album”, referencing the beatles’ self titled album released in 1968. it makes sense that they would change it, until you realize that the beatles did not copyright “white album” and it was a fanmade title. on a slight side note, it gets a bit hypocritical when you realize that ghiaccio uses an externally sourced name to name his stand when he was also complaining about externally sourced names (v*nice) p.s. i am not here because of jjba, ive always loved this song and ghiaccio’s stand namesake is the reason why hes my fave lol

The french Timelord you listen it very detail
@@Happpy8 I love that! If you're interested, you should check out the website "what goes on : Beatles anomalies" that list every details and background noises you can hear on Beatles songs.
The french Timelord I search and listen,some detail I didn’t mention but it is quite fun and special
If there were a perfect song, this would be it.
No more weeping George. RIP sir, thanks for the music.
George is and always will be the greatest Beatle. Talented, humble, witty, good looking, humanitarian, peaceful, spiritual, good looking, patient, kind, and if course good looking!

The interplay between Ringo and the bassist has never been replicated.
This was one of the first Beatles songs that I really remember well. I did know "yellow submarine" and "Octupusses guarden" before that but "while my guitar gently weeps" was one of two Beatles songs we sang in Music class in 8th grade. Ever since then I wanted to learn more about them and 2020 was the Year.
So thank you Mr. Wanke for forceing some great Culture into our dumb Teenage Brains. You were the best Music Teacher ever.
Cool. But you need to correct your spelling
@@IsaacWale2004 I know .... sadly English it's not my First Language. I'll fix it soon
@@lofthestars2088it isn’t mine either, but your spelling was pretty clear, don’t worry.
such a beautiful message you expressed tho 💜
This mix with headphones is pure sonic bliss.
Great that George wrote possibly the best Beatles song - RIP George x
I was hardly 18 when this album has been released and I played it to death out loud. This really sounds still great atfer half a century... Great music will never die.
I was 15, and it still blows my mind away 50 years later. Either I didn´t grow up, or the music is timeless. I think the latter....
Cap
@@Jose2005nyc the music sure is timeless and it's same for most of George's songs...
@@Jose2005nycit is the latter. I’m gonna be 18 in 12 days and I love this song to death
I know it’s called While my GUITAR Gentley Weeps but I’m mesmerised by Paul’s bass. Good god that man.
Yeah, and the drums too...
Oh George, how we miss you and your sweet voice😒
While my guitar gently weeps and Here comes the sun are George's masterpieces!
Chief just called, he says this is it.

My favorite Beatles song
The Beatles were magic. The best band..EVER. Four young men who became a band and changed music forever. That in itself is lightning in a bottle. Noone will ever come close to their music and catalog. Music is my oxygen so I love great many artists and bands. I was very into the Rolling Stones as a teen. I graduated HS in 1975, so I was there for the massive amount of great bands. But..The Beatles were light years ahead of their time. 💙🎼🎵🎶🎵
Love George's wailing towards the end - pure magic!
Everything is a lot clearer, especially the bass is more easily distinguishable with this mix. Guitar and vocals are as good as ever. Drums are a tad quiet. Lead guitar should be louder in my opinion.
lead guitar and drums should be louder
There is also piano and organ but they are low in the mix
Too even...
Should have been more Of Ringo, since he got blisters on his fingaas.
Yes.
Yes, finally the white album version. God bless George Harrison for this absolute masterpiece
My dad was 21 when this album came out and when he went to WoodStock in 69. Pop dropped too much acid and remembered little from the concert but named me Jude when I was born in 76. True Beatles fan he was!
you’ll be (or already are) 48 rn!
that’s such a cool thing, cus I was born in 2006, so we share the last digit :D I’m gonna be 18 in 12 days :>
The greatest band, ever, and I miss george so much, loved his solo stuff, love ❤️ and peace, to you all, let's just all get on, that's what the beatles mean, x
Una de las canciones más hermosas de The Beatles. Hipnotiza desde los primeros acordes. Una letra poderosa. No envejece ni un poco, es atemporal.
That kick drum pounding my right eardrum
Had it been centered it would've been pounding your chest
@@paulknight9998 you could have been a little bit more poetic.
@ラム 10/10 ur the new shakespeare, congratz
This one is even better
Since u pointed it out I can't quite understand why it's over there
Love the bass in this so much. It sounds like it's rattling through the track trying to escape from a cell.
ua-cam.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/v-deo.html
Best on the album
this album is so hard to rank songs with (that pretty much goes for any Beatles album) so sadly... kinda. In my opinion of course. Truffle is my favourite but I know that WMGGW is the best. Again in my opinion
Happiness Is A Warm Gun is a very close second
I love Revolution 9
@@amoru1012 What????
@@amoru1012 Sarcasm isn't obvious. Some people do love Avant Gard.
This mix has a wonderful clarity and has brought George's voice out excellently, but I'm rather disappointed that the drums are panned to the right and not centred. Clapton's lead should have been centred during the solos as well, I feel. Still, a definite improvement over the previous stereo mixes.
Agreed. Sounds like they were going for a more blended sound. The original mix always had a "separated" sound between all the tracks, especially without ringos high hat driving the rhythm forward. This mix sounds more "gelled" together. really hope the center the drums on dear prudence and helter skelter. ringo is at his peak on the white album and they need to let that shine thru!
Kmg24 - I agree. I was really hoping that the guitar solo would be centered.
@@SG-xx3ir I'm pretty sure the drums on the Helter Skelter remix are panned to the right as well, although as you said, it all seems to blend together somehow, and only becomes noticeable during instrumental breaks. I just hope there aren't any instances of complete silence in a channel, like the start of Martha My Dear; the right channel is silent for 20 seconds or so!
I swear that when Ringo plays the toms, those fills moves to the center. It's subtle, but it isn't like that on the original stereo.
@@jerryejohnson1 You're right. Very subtle, but the toms creep through into the left channel as well.
Best song on the album. Always blows my mind that the “revolution” single was not in the final cut of the album because it’s right up there with the greatest Beatles song ever made
I love The Beatles & George Harrison always.Thank you.

While my Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still, my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake, we must surely be learning Still, my guitar gently weeps, yeah
I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted, too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping Why my guitar gently weeps (I look) look at you all Still, my guitar gently weeps
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, ooh
This was my first ever Beatles album to listen to. Such a masterpiece!
George's best, hands down. And one of the Beatles' best.
Uma música que se pode passar o dia todo escutando que mesmo assim não enjoa, a minha favorita.
fato
My favorite Beatles song too...
*Less than a year would pass*
*before The Beatles would disband forever*
The Beetles made bone chilling music.
ua-cam.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/v-deo.html
White album for me is the best work from the Beatles
same, it’s such a good album man
The end of the song is amazing.
this lp is a definite addition to my cd collection that Sir Giles Martin and Sam Okell helped to bring new musical life to the Beatles catalog.
Father George Martin would certainly be proud to hear this version of their music if he were still among us today. RIP!
"There is nothing that can move in the cryogenic world. I can freeze anything in the universe!" - Ghiaccio
what makes the song for me is that organ part everyone talking bout all the other instruments when I first heard that part that’s what really made me like this song
2019 : beatles is legends
3019: beatles is legends
the beatles are legends** "is" is singular present. The beatles are plural, so you should use "are" which is plural present.
George saw the writing on the wall and wrote this great lament to the days when they were the care free fab-4.
I first heard this in 1968.
I will still enjoy it if I am around in 2068.
4:28 That "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" was amazing

This is the best song they ever played!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic song from 1968 !!!

This here is my favorite song. It's about how there's so little love in the world and how all of it is hidden away. Aged perfect.
This Album Was Released On The Exact Same Date My Dad Was Born.

Also JFK was killed at 11/22
My birthday is also on that date! Remember to salute me

20 años de vida 12 años escuchando a The Beatles, gracias Tío, gracias Familia por permitirme poder apreciar estas obras de arte, Colombia, Latinoamérica
One of the best guitar riffs in history…
Wow the vocals, bass and guitar sound better than ever. The drums should have been in the center of the mix. Great re release of an iconic Beatles album. I might pick it up later.
Clapton solo here is just mind blowing. I'd say one of my favourite guitar solo of all time.
Legend says his guitar is still gently weeping... RIP George Harrison
Piano riff on this rocks as hard as the guitars. And it doesn't stay the same staccato notes, it molds and forms as it goes on. Just amazing.
I remember listening to this song a lot the year my father passed away. I would get chills because i could hear every detail coming from my recently purchased speakers. But that was nothing compared to this. That hammond in the chorus made me tear up. Bringing back so many memories of when he was still alive...
The Beatles and their greatness brought me here
fun fact for all the jjba fans in this comment section:
the localized version of ghiaccio’s stand is called “white ice” which is derived from the original “white album”, referencing the beatles’ self titled album released in 1968. it makes sense that they would change it, until you realize that the beatles did not copyright “white album” and it was a fanmade title. on a slight side note, it gets a bit hypocritical when you realize that ghiaccio uses an externally sourced name to name his stand when he was also complaining about externally sourced names (v*nice)
p.s. i am not here because of jjba, ive always loved this song and ghiaccio’s stand namesake is the reason why hes my fave lol
he’s my fave because we’re both little furious curly dwarfs, and I love winter. and girl I swear A WHOLE F LOT 💃🏻
I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor
And I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world
And I notice, it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake
We must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look from the wings
At the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
'Cause I'm sitting here
Doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
Dub the mic on the piano and quite low this
Just keep it in my maracas, you know
You know, those old pianos
Okay, we're on
Mouth
Like everything else good, this is truly a gift from God!

To put an ad between Bungalow Bill and While My Guitar Gently Weeps robs the listeners of the feeling of the White Album.
A beautiful song.
The musical arrangement of Paul is awesome, just listen to his bass playing, pure genius
ua-cam.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/v-deo.html
George Harrison é simplesmente fenomenal! 🎸👏
Es eric clapton, no es george
As a guitar player for well more than fifty years, this song is about he best song I have ever played.
