It took me a second or two to realize young people don't know who the Hare Krishnas are because no one's allowed to hang out in airports any more.
His wife said in an interview that the room lit up when George passed. His spirituality was real.
George was on a spiritual quest his whole life after the Beatles, well, actually he started during the Beatles heyday and continue to search spirituality the rest of his life. He ended up being my favorite of the Beatles for that spirituality, actually wrote and sang great music, great guitarist and if you listen to interviews of him ,almost every one he is funny as can be, SO likable!!!
I agree. A great musician and a really good man.
I liked George but as a sort of science-based guy I was never fond of his fascination with spiritual stuff that he merely hoped was out there. Plus, the eloquence of his song Something is a little blunted by the idea that he was a shitty husband to Patti Boyd - you got the girl you wanted, THAT'S how you treat her??... she moves on to his friend Eric Clapton, who similarly writes a brilliant song Layla for her...then cheats on Patti, has a child Conor with a mistress, who dies tragically and Eric writes Tears in Heaven... Fantastic song, but geez, Eric and George, wish you got your stuff straightened out in the REAL world and not just write lovely songs in the world of music.
@@orchidwave2574 Don't cut yourself short. I'm an engineer and a person of Science. An atheist. There is a reason that Oppenheimer was familiar with the Bhagavad Gita and quoted some lines from it during the first successful nuclear bomb test. "I am become death, destroyer or worlds." If you strip away all the superstition and religiosity, Buddhism and Hinduism are rather compatible with science. I read the book 'The Tao of Physics' many years ago. Check it out if you can find a copy.
@@orchidwave2574 I don't know if this makes it better or worse - but George did say at one point that when he started writing 'Something' he was actually thinking of God (by whatever name), and only made it into more of a human love song, to make it more acceptable/commercial or whatever. However, IIRC, in her autobiography Pattie did say he told her her wrote it for her... so maybe a little bit of one, and a bit of the other... Just a love song, a song about the feeling of loving something or someone who 'attracts me like no other lover.."
@@orchidwave2574 I guess they were imperfect human beings like most of us.
Next up : George Harrison ' What is Life. '
Excellent choice!
Love that song. It makes me happy and melancholy at the same time.
Must be with The Official Video which was won by a Californian pair of Dancers.
Personifies the sheer joy and carefree nature of youth...
Love that song, great driving song 😏 and love it's message
that song brings out many emotions love it forever also Waiting on you all is another great song
George was later in a band of celebrated rock musicians called The Traveling Willburys. Check them out at some point
Daniel, this Group The Traveling Wilburys is a Must check out for your list. Wait until you find out who makes up this group... First need to do each artist individually (ie Tom Petty) and then the group they formed. A few gems produced for sure.
@@daveking9393 exactly!
Traveling Wilburys were awesome and not with us near long enough
I think my favorite George Harrison song is "What is Life". There are a handful of songs that instantly put me in a great mood, and that's one of them.
Agree, big time!
For me too. Love All things must pass also (the song as well as the album).
Mine is ‘Something’ even though it’s technically The Beatles, it’s George
"Something" was written by George , Sinatra said it was the greatest song he ever sang .
"While my guitar gently weeps " covered too by Carlos Santana ,Peter Frampton live ,et Al
👌
I love Wah Wah!
The Beatles went to India and George really kept up the teachings they learned, he lived a very spiritual life ❤️🎶☮️
“Hallelujah” - which means “Praise God” - and the Hindu term “Hare Krishna” - which denotes devotion to Lord Krishna. Krishna is a Hindu God.
As is Brahma, Vishnu, et. al. mentioned in the song.
Halleluyah means praise Yahweh. The y was later changed to the letter j to mean praise Jehovah.
Hare Krishna, Hare Hare. Hare Vishni. Hare Rama ...
Vishnu ...
@@robertserrato3596 From a traditional Hindu perspective this is not a contradiction at all, because in Hindu philosophy God takes multiple different forms and reveals itself in different ways to different people.
There is a famous ancient Sanskrit (ancient sacred Indian language) story of the blind men and the elephant, in which several blind men are supposed to describe an elephant by touching it. One touching the hard tail says an elephant is like a broom, another touching a leg says an elephant is like a column, another touching the belly says why an elephant is much like a wall, the next touches the trunk and finds an elephant is much like a huge powerful snake, the last touches the huge ear and finds an elephant is like a big fan that waves air at you. None of them is wrong, but all but really grasped a fraction of what an elephant really is, just like all religions grasped a part of God's truth and thus should all be respected and tolerated. And this is the way the traditional Indian attitude (both Buddhist and Hindu) towards other religions is (or rather is traditionally supposed to be, cause of course there are always people hungry for power who like to forget about that)
My Indian Hindu mother inlaw for example prays and pays her respects in Churches and Gurudwaras just like she would at the Hindu Mandir. No matter if she is doing a puja at home in front of Ganpati - the Elephant headed God - or if she's taking a kneel in church, in her mind she's always just addressing the universal divine, no matter if at the moment you happen to name it Jehovah, Yahweh, Krishna, Brahma, Ganpati, God and so on.
It Don't Come Easy was Ringo's biggest hit for me.
George Harrison also contributed to the writing of this song with Ringo.
Great, great song.
nah its No No No I don't smoke it no more
Photograph is a good one too. Personnally, I enjoyed "You're sixteen".
@@francoisroy1501 I love both songs and actually play both of them on guitar.
"What is Life" should be the next reaction song. You should look up Billy Preston doing My Sweet Lord at George Harrison's tribute "Concert for George".
And a great dvd it is !
George was very involved with the Hare Krishna sect of Hinduism, and had a Hare Krishna monk at his bedside when he died... Very spiritual person...
I love this song.
Georges Harrison was a great musician.
you can't go wrong with a musical superstar who often said 'everything else can wait but, the search for God cannot wait'
I would recommend a couple of songs that are tangentially related:
Badfinger- Day After Day- Badfinger are the first band The Beatles signed to their Apple Records label, and this song features George Harrison on slide guitar.
czcams.com/video/-btv-7GkVk0/video.html
America- Sister Golden Hair- the record this song came from (Hearts) was produced by longtime Beatles producer George Martin in 1975, and the opening riff was confirmed as a nod to Harrison's My Sweet Lord by writer Gerry Beckley.
czcams.com/video/XIycEe59Auc/video.html
This is the highest selling solo song by an ex Beatle, the LP it is from 'All Things Must Pass' is the highest selling solo LP by an ex Beatle. George is also doing his own backing vocals on this song.
Please do more of George Harrison or the Beatles stuff. Keep it up man.
The Beatles get blocked
You may want to watch concert for george celebration of his music
' Instant Karma ' by John Lennon and ' It Don't Come Easy ' by Ringo Starr, were also hits from this time frame.
George's "All Things Must Pass" is a great, if sometimes uneven, album. George had so many songs he'd been unable to get on Beatles albums that the ATMP album was his way of presenting them. George did a lot of good solo stuff. "Got My Mind Set On You" (the official video) is wonderfully entertaining if you're interested.
Thanks. I'll check out some of that album over time.
The "Fifth Beatle" Billy Preston also had a #1 Hit; "Nothing From Nothing."
"Fifth Beatle" George Martin produced 23 #1 hits.
Yes cancer but he also survived a home invasion he was stabbed by the intruder you might enjoy the tribute for George my guitar gently weeps performed by Tom petty , Jeff Lynne. Prince and others
Daniel already reacted to that song. He loved it.
@@ChristopherMmmm oh yes he did no I remember thanks Christopher
George meditated on getting rid of scars from that attack, which he did
I wonder if he hadn't been stabbed in the chest whether he would still have got lung cancer. So tragic, all of it. We lost another one too soon, too soon.
All the backing vocals by George and Bobby Whitlock,beautiful.
Try "What is Life?", "Crackerbox Palace", "Blow Away", his cover of Bob Dylan's "If Not For You", "Dark Horse", or his later hit, "When We Was Fab"
I think you mean "Dark Horse", don't you?
"When We was Fab" is a great song, a send-up of The Beatles.
And also, "All Those Years Ago", which was George's tribute to John, after John was assassinated.
Dark Horse ?
@@jeromemilne561 right. Corrected. Thanks for the catch.
@@MissAstorDancer yes, I did mean Dark Horse. Thanks. And All Those Years Ago is another great choice.
Thanks love George Harrison , it was his anniversary of his death recently. Highly recommended his song without you
Check out "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon! its my favourite Lennon solo song.
Yes, please!!! One of my very fav Lennon songs.
You should listen to The Chiffon's He's So Fine and definitely Edwin Hawkins Singers Oh Happy Day.
George Harrison was interesting. I think at one point he wanted to quit The Beatles and join The Band. Like, with Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm. George was close friends with Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton. There's a whole 3+ hour documentary about George directed by Martin Scorsese.
It is an excellent documentary! Lovingly done!
I agree BIG TIME. Several clips of George Harrison, Eric Clapton and others discussing these creative times are within this great movie. Please check this film out. Great music and a great history of some of the roots of rock and roll.
Roger Waters called their debut album, Music from Big Pink, the second "most influential record in the history of rock and roll,"
The Weight and Up on Cripple Creek are well known popular wise... However they go deeper in there roots of rock and many don't seem to go back this far to the ones who actually influenced those you are reacting to now... What I call back to the roots of rock.
The Band were a roots rock group consisting of four Canadians and one American: Rick Danko (bass guitar, vocals, fiddle), Garth Hudson (keyboards, accordion, saxophone), Richard Manuel (keyboards, drums, vocals), Robbie Robertson (guitar, vocals), and Levon Helm (drums, vocals, mandolin, guitar). Between 1958 and 1963, they originally formed as The Hawks, a backing band for rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins. In the mid-1960s they gained recognition backing Bob Dylan, and the 1966 tour was notable as Dylan’s first with an electric band. After leaving Dylan and changing their name to The Band, they released several albums to critical and popular acclaim, highlighted by the songs "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." According to AllMusic, "For roughly half-a-decade, from 1968 through 1975, The Band were one of the most popular and influential rock groups in the world." Their influence on several generations of musicians has been substantial: Al Aronowitz called its "country soul....a sound never heard before."
To learn more you NEED BACK STORY . A great to the point summary can be found under the Title description if watching a Video is not your thing... Howerver, Please please please consider
Watching "THE BAND: The Authorized Video Biography" - (1995)" on CZcams

The Beatles are a phenomenon, Together a masterpiece, on their own Brilliant. God given talents. This song reflect Harrison's often-stated desire for a direct relationship with God, expressed in simple words that all believers could affirm, regardless of their religion. Thanks Daniel
They were a Tavistock Institute creation
another great dig!.. While my Guitar Gently Weeps is one🤗
After the Beatles split his first album was a triple album of songs written during the Beatles day he wasn't confident enough to present
George Harrison is one of the best slide guitar players ever.
An example of this is his work on Alvin Lee's the Bluest Blues.
But how was his sitar playing? Ravi Shankar (Nora Jones’ pa) taught him
@@personalcheeses8073 Sitar is just like any other instrument, gotta spend 1000s of hours to get anywhere. His Sitar playing was rudimentary. But, good enough for a crossover song, no one had done before.
He wrote this after hearing the gospel. Song “Oh, happy day”
Such a wonderful, peaceful, unimposing prayer, set to music.
Knowing what I'll be hearing, in itself, already brings pleasant endorphins flowing about my soul!
George Harrison - my favorite Beatle. You should check out his super group The Travelling Wilbury's (George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Jim Keltner, Dhani Harrison, Roy Orbison). Some really great stuff.
Dhani Harrison never contributed to The Traveling Wilburys.
@@chronomatt6990 Sue me
@@tomwoliver No, that’s cool. Don’t want you to sell your vast Traveling Wilburys record collection to help pay for attorney fees.
@@chronomatt6990 You're a fooking prince.
All Things Must Pass is a wonderful album.
All Things Must Pass is a masterpiece.
My favorite George Harrison Song. I knew you would love this song Daniel.
Great commentary. George was the most spiritual of the Beatles, which is why he and John became close after the Beatles broke up and when John was discovering his own spiritual journey. May they both rest in peace. The world needs them for than ever now.
Oh to be in your shoes hearing this song for the first time.
Carry it in your heart always, and I promise, you will know goodness.
My George, love him so much such a genius RIP George
This song is just perfection. ❤️💕❤️
This is my very favorite George Harrison song ❤❤❤
George was my favorite of the four. If you like this song you will love "Awaiting On You All"
George was just praising the Lord!
A beautiful spiritual song by a beautiful soul. George is one great guitarist.
This is from George Harrison's masterpiece, All Things Must Pass. Listen through the whole thing. Awesome.
That's such a beautiful song it relaxes me
1971, 10 years old, one of the first rock songs I remember distinctly. That slide guitar, wow. On the AM radio every 10 minutes, but it was ok. You've set the bar for so many classics no other channel has ever explored. And yes, as others have mentioned, BADFINGER. The next Beatles, with the most tragic story in rock history. "Day After Day", perfect start. You would swear it's the Beatles. One more thing, 12K subs!! Onward, Daniel.
One of my favourite songs of all-time thanks
Billy Preston was known as the fifth Beatle for his keyboard work on several of their songs. He had some number one hits as well: Will it go Round in Circles, and Nothing from Nothing Leaves Nothing. Definitely worth checking out.
Various others have also been referred to as the fifth Beatle, including Pete Best, George Martin, and Murray the K
Daniel, next on your list should be The Traveling Wilburys, sort of a supergroup with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Songs to consider would be Handle With Care, End Of The Line and Dirty World from Vol. 1 and She's My Baby, Inside Out and Wilbury Twist from Vol. 3. Nelson Wilbury founded this band and Spike Wilbury also contributed a lot to these two albums.
End of the Line is a great song
I was just thinking the same thing.
Since you know Imagine, consider reacting to another Lennon song like Instant Karma or Power to the People. His song Whatever Gets You Thru the Night was a no. 1 hit.
Soo love this song. I can feel it in my heart
My favorite George songs "Cheer Down" and "Any Road" (released after his death).
Its a religious chant fused with a pop sound. When you close your eyes it can become meditative which George was a fan of.
I'm old. Always loved this song
The words to this, and many of the songs your cover, are written in many hearts.
Some other artists that were mentioned in the song facts are worth checking out if you haven't already. "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers is a really nice gospel-infused song and was a pretty big hit in the US. They also sang backup for a song by Melanie called "Candles in the Rain", a song about Woodstock. Delaney and Bonnie had a couple of great hit singles, my favorite of which is "Only You Know and I Know" (a cover version of the song originally recorded by Dave Mason). Billy Preston had several big hits in the early 70s, like "Nothing From Nothing", "Will It Go Round in Circles", and "Outa Space". He also played keyboard on the Beatles song "Get Back". And of course Peter Frampton was huge in the late middle 70s.
All great songs you mentioned.
Bobby Whitlock was a paart of this recording session of All Things Must Pass but he only singed on this song on the hallelujah harmony and it was just him and George.. He is still making new videos on You Tube, plus he was a big part of Derek and The Dominoes ..
How can you be found “guilty” in a court of law for “unconscious plagiarism”? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Doesn’t plagiarism, by definition, require the culprit to KNOWINGLY copy another work without giving credit? And the verdict was based on a chord sequence. There are a limited number of chord sequences, and after listening to and writing music for years, are they saying that you are never going to use a chord sequence used by someone else in the past?/ That’s CRAZY. Listen to He’s So Fine” Daniel. I don’t think the two are comparable at all. Maybe that’s why we have computers writing songs for us now...people are terrified to try to be creative....afraid they’ll get sued.
Well said. I always thought the law suit was BS
I see no similarly at all and I know HE'S SO FINE, I am 71 and agree it was BS
@@lindehughes1773 Plus it's way better than The Chiffon's song.
@@starry2006 you definitely have that right
It’s difficult when you have a non-musical person judging plagiarism in a song. I don’t think the judge really knew what he was judging.
george harrison " give me love" , great song to react to
RIP, Alan White. Before joining Yes, White was asked to join The Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon and played drums on Lennon's "Imagine" and "Instant Karma". White's talents caught the attention of George Harrison, and played drums on Harrison's debut solo album, "All Things Must Pass". This appears on that album, and that is White playing drums.
"My sweet Lord"
by George Harrison
a beautiful spiritual song
(with Hindu influences)
He was the most mystical of the other ex Beatles
he passed away 19 years ago
(29 November 2001)
As soon as THE BEATLES dissolved, they released a Triple Album:
"All things must pass"
brilliant songs
in his Beatle stage:
Taxman
While my guitar gently weeps
It's all too much
Something
Here comes the sun
and in his solo career:
My sweet lord
All things must pass
Isn't it a pity
Give me love give me peace on earth
I got my mind set on you
Best regards from Argentina
Spot on feeling response. A counterpoint to what has happened in the last 3 years. Clean and beautiful. Thanks!
love seeing a young person listening to the best music ever made, Kudos to you Daniel!
Huge # 1 song for George from the Incredible #1 Triple album.. All Things Must Pass. 😎🎼🎶🇨🇦
Great song! Another great Harrison song is While My Guitar Gently Weeps! Later George teamed up with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dillon, Roy Orbison in The Traveling Wilburys, worth a listen.
Love your reactions to songs that are 40 or 50 years old and are still awesome sounding to people who have never heard them!
George did this song with the great Billy Preston who’s influence lead to the gospel sounding background. George’s own personal search for meaning and spirituality lead him to eastern philosophies. He added these chants or mantras to the chorus. Brilliant work. Ringo, John and Clapton all played on the All Things Must Pass album (1970). May I suggest everyone watch In The Material World: George Harrison on HBO. It explains the entire life of this great man.
If you don't want to do Imagine then Crippled Inside and Jealous Guy off the Imagine album are great songs. Bryan Ferry realeased Jealous Guy, and it did very well, but I am very loyal to Lennon version.
One of John's still appropriate today: Gimme Some Truth ;-)
Great song! Love this ☺
Oh nice. Love this song. This album is excellent.
Loved your reaction. What a great song. George Harrison is very much missed. May he rest in peace.❤️😀👍❤️✌️🌼
check out "the concert for bangla desh," son.
I bought this album when It came out! I was 17. Brings back memories.
You should try Ringo Starr’s “Photograph”. Written by Harrison & Starr in 1971. It’s a beautiful song about lost love.
Another song they collaborated on is “It Don’t Come Easy”.
George & Ringo collaborated many times during George’s life, as well as the other Beatles solo works.
George also was involved in producing the Radh Krsna Temple album. One of the popular hits from that album was "Govinda" and got a lot of air play in the US.
Allen Klein was manager to both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones, he was able to gain control of the Stone’s entire sixties catalog.
One of George Harrison's quotes when asked about the names of the Lord & God he used in his lyrics of this song, was “It does not matter what you call Him, just call Him” That quote helped me ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Another Quote, Spirituality does not come from organized religions, it comes from the search within ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
For additional perspective, the Beatles hit the US in 1963. By late 1969 it was over, the band broke up. Really only six years as the Beatles while in their twenties, so the bulk of their music careers was solo. But what an amazing and wondrous six years those were.
George had a load of songs he had written during and after The Beatles broke up. All Things Must Pass is one of his best albums. Many good songs off that album.
His remake of “I Got My Mind Set On You” is another good one. Devil’s Radio is one of my favorites off the Cloud 9 LP
A long time ago, on my 10th birthday, I got my first record player along with a paper bag full of second hand, jukebox records. They included My Sweet Lord along with The Beatles - Penny Lane, McCartney's Another Day & Ringo's It Don't Come Easy. the other 45's were No Matter What by Badfinger, Yellow River by Christie, Band of Gold by Freda Payne , You've Got Me Dangling on a String by Chairmen of the Board & Mony Mony by Tommy James & The Shondells. Back to My Sweet Lord, in the UK we had best of both worlds as What Is Life was on the B side!
George did write a simple song but that's what's exciting about music. You can write some thing so simple but yet so awesome. That comes from very talented people. George was singing about many different ways you can know God. George wrote a song called SomeThing . Frank Sinatra said it was the best love song ever written .
Thank you for reacting to George Harrison!!!
Great tune! Thanks
It didn't take long enough.....I hope he got to see... and is going with his sweet lord
love this song,your videos r fun and educational
George's backup on this album were the Dominoes from Derek and the Dominoes. They had all played with Delaney and Bonnie, were in England waiting on Eric to make Layla and George needed help so they helped!!
My Sweet George ❤️❤️❤️
I always loved this song, it was fun to sing along with. Harrison was one of the best guitar players, even played lead on one of Eric Clapton's songs.
Thank god this music lives on, yes
Harrison had 3 masterpieces, this plus Something and Here Comes the Sun! Also recorded by the Beatles! Sinatra declared Something as one of the greatest love songs ever!
Interesting fact : George really did want to meet his maker and longed for it. Once a home invader stabbed him and instead of fighting back for his life he just reassured the guy everything was fine. It took his wife to get the attacker off. I dont know if you can get more comfortable with dying than that.
As for led zeppelin i request ACHILLES LAST STAND . It stands out amongst their catalog as being completely different as a 10 minute epic. The album cover has a family surrounding a black obelisk at a dinner table which only furthered rumors that the band had sold thier souls to the devil. In honor of the monoliths that have been mysteriously appearing and disappearing lately i suggest this song. Live versions are available but i recommend studio version first because of how its produced and sonically layered. This is a song that never got radio play. Zeppelin fans absolutely adore it but casual listeners have never even heard of it. If you're going to listen to anyone listen to the guy who has zeppelin ink on his body friend.
You should listen to Pacific Gas and Electric. "Are You Ready?", one of the rockingest gospel songs ever.
It doesn't surprise me that each one of the Beatles had a number 1 hit song. Taking in the fact they had 2 of the BEST song writers in music history.
It’ll never grow tired, one of those.
All the beatles were amazing together and solo love this song
Yup, this song was unfortunately almost identical to "He's So Fine" and he lost a lawsuit over it (although the judge ruled that the plagiarism was probably unintentional, giving him the benefit of the doubt on that score). But "What is Life", "Isn't It a Pity", and "Bangla Desh"are all great songs that he didn't "borrow" and those would be my recommendations for more George Harrison to check out.
Only identical for the three notes. Ridiculous lawsuit. No one would really confuse those two songs.
Way more than three notes are the same in the two songs.
Yes and he’s so fine vs my sweet lord as content isn’t even on the same league.
I'd add "Ding dong, Ding dong" to that - it's slight, but great fun!
I also love another song from that era: Apple Scruffs.
Was a brilliant song writer and a cool guy. Long solo career and also one of the Travelling Wilburys!
You will NEVER tire of listening to My Sweet Lord! Wherever you are with religion! When Harrison was finished, with nobody else in the room, he must've said - I've come up with something special here!
Probably the first #1 song in the U.S. that opened with a lead Sitar!
