To me...George Harrison's music is beautiful on so many different levels. Great tracks include: "Any Road", "Beware of Darkness", "Rising Sun", "All Things Must Pass", "You Are the One", and the "Writing's On the Wall"...but that doesn't even cover this man's beautiful legacy.
George was great. His music has inspired a lot of people over the years. His two best albums are probably 'All things must pass' and 'Brainwashed', but there is some excellent stuff on other albums too. Only slight criticism of George is that because of his money, he perhaps lived a life a bit isolated from the concerns of everyday folk, and it is also a shame he didn't do more - a less wealthy and hungrier George might perhaps have produced a lot more.
::nods:: This is true...but I imagine in might have been interesting for a Beatle to become unwealthy... he did leave his son with quite a large sum of money when he died. Though I do respect him for being quite humble in spite of all of it...
Agreed. George didn't let being wealthy go to his head. And I imagine that having that much money could have disadvantages too. So could the fame.
It must have been verry hard for him,I imagine he had to deal with those who expected him to change as his wealth grew.
Another goodie is the album entitled simply 'George Harrison'. Actually IMO contains his best solo song 'Your Love is Forever'.
"Within You and Without You" is just beautiful. George said he never wanted to be famous, only successful. "We were talking about the space between us all and people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth then it's far too late when they pass away We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it to try our best to hold it there with our love, with our love we could save the world if they only knew Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small and life flows on within you and without you We were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see Are you one of them When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one and life flows on within you and without you " Love to george harrison....
he never really liked the fame, he just digged the music. such a peaceful man, with talent thats unexplainable. my sweet lord is one of my favorites.
george was a humble, gentle man and very spiritual, as experienced in the tone and wording of his music. paisley skye.
Here comes the sun My sweet lord While my guitar gently weeps These songs makes me cry, the melodies are too beautiful. r.i.p George!
i love george harrison! he is so sensible! i love most of the song he played with the beatles (as something, here comes the sun, Within You and Without You), and some he wrote after the '60s (as my sweet lord,all things must pass...) he was a very great man!
I take you have all seen the short film of him and the rest of the Traveling Wilburys making the film of them making music for the LP, it was sad that Roy Orbison died why making it, having him there was something Gorge loved, but what a great album they made.
Well he was one of the fab 4, The Beatles were gods at that time in the 60's and they was greatly loved.
