The Dark Horse album was my first Harrison album and I loved it. When I was younger Paul was my favorite, buy this album changed it. Went out and got All Things Must Pass album...Loved this song!!!!!!!
Absolutely agreed. You'd think they had it in for him. Dark Horse and Extra Texture are unfairly maligned. Songs like Simply Shady and Tired of Midnight Blue are quality. Beautiful pieces of work.
Michael B....your words are absolutly correct. thanks....I grow up with the Beatles...it was the best time in my life. I think you're younger...yes? please write me: pgiebfried390@gmail.com - I live now in the Carib... since 5 years...
Great lyrics. This song has a lot of significance to me. In fact the lyrics provided me with a personal theme. "A pebble in the ocean Must cause some kind of stir And witnessed by the silence Will reach from here to there The action that I started Some time I'll have to face My influence in motion Rebounding back through space" My first wife had this verse engraved on a gold "dog tag" that I wore around my neck for many years as a reminder that my actions, however insignificant they might seem, send ripples that never stop. And I was able to see George on his US tour. He might have been a bit hoarse but I was happy with the concert. It was my first time to see a live Beatle.
Why Dark Horse receives such criticism, then and now, I will never understand why. There is so much emotion on this album. If you can find that emotion on Venus & Mars or Walls & Bridges, please go to it. But George Harrison, and his songs, speak of an ARTIST. He's not writing things thinking of Billboard or Top of the Pops. He's writing what he feels. And it's in all of his work. It's what every artist should be doing. Writing first for themselves, in the hopes others may feel the same. Or at least like it.
This song is one of the most exciting songs fron harrison's catalog. When i heard it the first time i cant believe that nobody was talking about the greatx great song it was.
The Dark Horse album was my favorite of all the albums made by George mixing his style of music with jazz as evidenced by the backing of Tom Scott and the L.A. Express.
In retrospect, I think that George should have recorded the whole of the album with Tom Scott and the L.A. Express. It would have enhanced the musical consistency when listening to the album as a whole.
Quelle ame magnifique Tu es ma reference dans la vie tu ma apporter la sagesse et la bontee avec ta voix et tes paroles magic et ta guitare que tu fais parler Merci
a totally awesome song! so stupid people keep talking about his hoarse voice... but nobody said anything about john lennon's voice on plastic ono band. they are both raw, honest and totally beautiful! harrison's guitar work on all of dark horse is top notch! just a great album all around!
A great artist in torment offers a candid view of his suffering, yet creates a beautiful & memorable haunting melody. It's yet another masterpiece in an outstanding catalogue of musical accomplishments. #imho
Always loved the Dark Horse album. What's wrong with this track? A great melody and a perfect set of (harrowing) lyrics. It didn't even chart in the UK! Can you believe that? Here in Holland it was a top ten album, just as Ding Dong was a top ten hit single. I love my country!.
Somebody brought the juicer I thought I'd take a sip Came off the rails so crazy My senses took a dip Before the bottle hit the floor And I'd had time to think I was blinded by desire The elephant turned pink And the rest is simply shady It's all been done before But it doesn't make life easy That's for sure You may think about a lady Cause yourself a minor war And your life won't be so easy anymore No sooner had I sown it When I began to reap I was torn from shallow water And plunged into the deep And as I started drowning I clung onto a straw That somehow kept me floating While my madness craved for more The rest is simply shady It's all been done and more But it doesn't make life easy That's for sure A pebble in the ocean Must cause some kind of stir And witnessed by the silence Will reach from here to there The action that I've started Sometime I'll have to face My influence in motion Rebounding back through space The rest is simply shady It's all been done before But it doesn't make life simple That's for sure You may think of Sexy Sadie Let her in through your front door And your life won't be so easy anymore Source: Musixmatch
Dark Horse album is really worth listening to. It was the other music and artists around at the time that was crap. Take the Bay City Rollers and the middle of the road crap from the USA. Real music didn't stand a chance. George's music will be with us forever.
I never heard a bad song by George Harrison of my life
The disdain for Dark Horse, and this track specifically, were most certainly manufactured.
This song, simply put, is masterful.
You are Right..!

I absolutely agree, this is one of the most underrated songs in the history of rock music!
Es una maravilla de canción y sobre todo cómo está interpretada❤
Song about alcohol, cocaine, and temptation of the flesh. Brilliant George.

One of my all time favorite sly, slinky slunky favorites! I Love George and Dark Horse lp.

I need to come to Holland
Nederlands heeft goede muzieksmaak
Always one of my faves.I woke up with this song in my head today so hearing it is great.
Beautiful Song..!
これはめちゃくちゃいい曲だな
!Genio!
great track
this sounds so groovy at 1.5x. Try it. I very much agree that this is a unfairly underrated song
Love it all the time
Somebody brought the juicer
I thought I'd take a sip
Came off the rails so crazy
My senses took a dip
Before the bottle hit the floor
And I'd had time to think
I was blinded by desire
The elephant turned pink
And the rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure
You may think about a lady
Cause yourself a minor war
And your life won't be so easy anymore
No sooner had I sown it
When I began to reap
I was torn from shallow water
And plunged into the deep
And as I started drowning
I clung onto a straw
That somehow kept me floating
While my madness craved for more
The rest is simply shady
It's all been done and more
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure
A pebble in the ocean
Must cause some kind of stir
And witnessed by the silence
Will reach from here to there
The action that I've started
Sometime I'll have to face
My influence in motion
Rebounding back through space
The rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure
You may think of Sexy Sadie
Let her in through your front door
And your life won't be so easy anymore

Thank you, i was searching a lot, hk
I can hear Echoes by Pink Floyd at the end.
True...similar tune, similar feel

Underrated by who? Not by me. I have always thought Dark Horse album is super! One of best George's albums! And Simply Shady is great.
Guitarplayer.com for one. Not by me, though. I enjoy it thoroughly.

The rutles 1976 SNL
Agreed
Album was good it just suffered third act fatigue like Macca's Wing Wild life. George supposedly became very ill while making this album.
No wildlife was good
Love side A of Wildlife so much
