George Harrison didn't get to have too many of his songs on albums, but he wrote 3 of the very best they ever recorded. This one, Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Love you George.

George Harrison wrote a complete masterpiece and sang it beautifully!

"Here Comes The Sun" is on the Beatles 1969 album "Abbey Road". It was written by George Harrison. Such a happy optimistic feeling song. George also wrote the song "Something" on the same Abbey Road album.

George Harrison, Lead vocal, Lead guitar, and sole writer. Superb song.

Yes, George is the lead vocalist, the lead guitarist, the sole writer and even contributed keyboard aspects on the Harmonium and Moog Synthesizers --- but lets not forget the accompanying background harmonies by the rest of the group, as well as Ringo's drum playing and even Producer George Martin's string and woodwind arrangement adding to the overall vibe. It was always the case that there were multiple contributions to each song by other members, even when one or the other was the sole writer and main vocalist --- George himself contributed great harmonies and instrumentation to songs written and primarily sung by Lennon and McCartney --- this is what they were about --- being a group. Even during their late troubled years, they were individual personalities that worked, more or less, within the group framework --- they fed off the vibes and inspiration of their fellow bandmembers --- this is what made them great. They were equals where it counted --- the creation of their art. I see this and everything the ever produced as a _Beatles_ song first and foremost --- I even somehow (with my heart, not my mind) consider all of their solo stuff to still be _Beatle_ songs. Not sure if it's just me or if there are other fans that feel that way --- they were one entity to me and loved them all equally.

@@Hernal03 Absolutely. Paul's harmony is beautiful. Ringo drums are so good.

This is basically George Harrison backed by Paul and Ringo (John was recovering from a car crash). Although George often had to take a back seat to the song writing talents of Paul and John, this is the most streamed Beatles' song ever on Spotify. This version is a new (2019) stereo remix by Giles Martin but it sounds to me pretty similar to the original.

Yeah, the Beatles' albums are now being remixed for the first time, for their 50th anniversary reissues.

This song never fails to bring tears of joy to my eyes. And the flute-like Moog synth in the background of the last verse/chorus just sends it over the top for me. A masterpiece from George.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of my all-time favorite Beatle songs. The genius of George Harrison really comes alive in this song as it showcases his talent as a songwriter and guitarist. You'll love it! Enjoy your reactions so much, you're always animated and truly into the music you react to.

Hey Michael, your comments about this song are totally spot-on. If this song doesn't make you feel good, there is absolutely something wrong with you and you should seek help. This song actually makes the sun come out. Cheers from Boston.

The instrument behind the Guitar is one of the first Moog synthesizers and was bought by George Harrison. This album is possibly the first Platnum album to have a Moog on it. Fun fact. The Moog had a bug that the note would drift down at the end and nobody could fix it, not even the Moog engineers. So they just designed it into the song to brilliant effect.

I absolutely love Ringo's drum part on this song. It's pretty subtle but it's really effective. I don't really have a favorite Beatles song because there are just so many and I like them all each in their own way. Things We Said Today is a slightly earlier Beatles song that's mostly acoustically driven and it's great because it is a really serious love song set to a haunting minor key. And it is so catchy.

One of my "many" faves by the Beatles. ✌ A perfect spring song. Good Day Sunshine is also fantastic.

Always reminds me of the Spring season. Great one by George Harrison. Happy & uplifting. Great reaction.

This song is in my favorites of the Beatles. My favorite Beatles song...Here, There, and Everywhere...definitely worth a listen.

Favorite song? Hummmmm, out of over 200. Definitely a good chore. But the one I saw at 4 years old and the rest is history. This Boy, live on the Ed Sullivan show. Definitely a great listen and would love to see your reaction. Good times, bro. ❤️🙂👊

Probably my favorite Beatle song

It's hard to say which is my favorite Beatles song. They have so many great songs. I will say that "Here Comes The Sun" is up on my list.

If this is the first time you've heard "Here Comes the Sun" you probably aren't familiar with the Beatles library so I'm going to suggest another great song by them called "In My Life". I'd put both of those songs to be amongst the best Beatles tunes, like as in top two and they have a lot of great music with the exception of "Revolution #9" which was more of a sound experiment or something.

I approve of your overall recommendations. I tend to recommend “In My Life” as the first song for the average person to listen to. Another great drum part by Ringo there. I mean it’s a perfect song so yeah.

The Beattles created so many unique songs and sounds. Their sound is easily distinguishable, but there is no one style. Truly great artists. Still amazing after decades!

usually my favorite Beatles song is the one I'm listening to at the moment. I have noticed that I find myself singing along to most of them, maybe it's the happiness coming from within me to listen.

Here, There and Everywhere.

The lyrics are, ..." the ice is slowly melting, it feels like years since it's been clear..."

It feels like years since IT'S been here i.e. the sun

As for a favorite; it SO depends on your mood. Still, "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is entrancing, and "Sexy Sadie" is such a playfully unique mix of styles and rhythms. Maybe something a little lighter, as in "Paperback Writer"?

John Lennon said that George Harrison performed the best song on Abbey Road and that was, "Here Comes the Sun."

How beautiful to see you appreciate this song for what it is - a masterpiece indeed!

One of the greatest songs by the greatest group ever.

but the ice melting and here comes the sun is a metaphor for 'everything is going to get better and be ok" it's not literally about sun and ice hahah

When my son was 4 years old he would try to sing along in this one. He thought it was Here Comes the Son and that it was about him! 45 years later I still smile on this one!

Capo is at the 7th fret, playing in D major it sounds in concert A major. The way George plays with the D major chord shape reminds me of Roger McGuinn's Bach inspired riff on The Byrds rendition of Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man". Also based on the D major chord shape, btw.

Ironically McGuinn followed in "Mr Tambourine Man" the sound of the 12-string Rickenbacker played by George Harrison during 1964.

One of the amazing things of many about the Beatles is that they could write/compose beautiful love ballads like "Yesterday" or "The Long And Winding Road" "A reflection song like "Strawberry Fields For Ever" They can write a classic rock and roll like "One After 909" or "I Saw Her Standing There" a pure pop song like "Penny Lane" to of what many say was the song that gave birth to heavy metal like "Helter Skelter", the contrast between all of them was/is Amazing and many more, is going to take you a while to explore them all but I don't think you'll be disappointed in discover to discover them all, but one thing you'll find in all them is the uniqueness and greatness every song was better than the last and on and on, they were ahead of their time, they wrote all their 210 songs in only 7 years together AS The Beatles including 32 world wide #-1-s there was nothing they can not do aware or unawre everything they touched turn to platinum Lennon/McCartney are considered the best most successful songwriters in the 20th century and so far in 21st, and Harrison holds a place of his own up there too, good vids gut, keep it up

I LOVE the Semi Obscure "Dear Prudence"...

Música perfeita!

NASA scientists wanted to send this song to space to represent us. But the Beatles were breaking up at the time, and NASA couldn't arrange the permission. So they sent Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry instead.

It’s probably my favorite Beatles song. Just so uplifting and bright

The Beatles most popular song amongst the young generation.

Greatest song of all time for me. So many childhood memories are tied to this song. George will always be my favorite Beatle

It's a very optimistic song, yes. A nice title too. A pleasure to spend a moment listening to this with you. Have a nice day and congratulations for your interesting work 👍🔥🔥🎸🎸💫☀️☀️🎉🎉🎸

Can you imagine being a fantastic musician and songwriter but objectively 3rd best in a group of 4, that shows the calibre of the beatles

There is no one single favorite Beatles song because they excelled in so many forms. This is one of them. Yesterday. The Long and Winding Road. Hey Jude (not "Hey Dude, Ed Sheeran!). Back in the USSR, a parody in part of the Beach Boys' California Girls. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/A Little Help From My Friends. The Beatles songs are like Lay's potato chips... you can't eat just one.

The Fab Four is what we called the Beatles 👵🏼💜☮️

Asking what is your favourite Beatles song is a next to impossible task. Their catalogue is of such consistently high quality that' it's hard to pick one out. That's what makes them so good !

The instrument behind the song at the beginning, is a moog synthesiser. This was a very recent invention at the time ( 1969 ) and the Beatles, being the innovators that they are, naturally took advantage of it and added it in.

You got it so well Mike. This joyful, beautiful George Harrison song was so loved by my late wife that I had a musician come in to perform it for her after she had gone into a coma--it would have been the last song she heard (people in comas may not speak or see, but they can hear). That's exactly what she wanted. All that beautiful sunshine, and she had told me that she wanted it played at her funeral.

ALL the Beatles songs are my favorite, it changes daily depending on my mood. It is IMPOSSIBLE to pick ONE. Listening to the Beatles is like eating a Lays potato chip, you can't like just one! LOL

The Beatles were by far the Coolest looking people on the Planet!!! 👍👍Trend setters in music, hair, garb and social issues throughout the 60's and beyond!!!👍👍 No others even came close when you add it all up!!!👌👌👍👍✌✌😃😃 A couple of my all time favs would be "One After 909" and "Hey Bull Dog" along with well over 200 other Beatle songs😉😉😂😂🤣🤣✌✌😃😃

This is my favorite, too. Like you, it always makes me happy and brings a smile to my face. Another fave of mine, and very rarely mentioned, is No Reply.

Elvis, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. Elvis the 50’s Beatles the 60’s, and Led Zeppelin the 70’s! The biggest influencers of their respective decades! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Good reaction. You can start every day with this song to get your ass out of bed. This and Lunatic Fringe right afterwards. Do your stretches during the songs, then out of bed and into the day!!

Release date 1969, 7 years after first stepping into a recording studio. The group broke up by spring 1970, but George (who wrote and sang this) was already releasing solo albums and recording with other groups. Remastering is necessary to adjust the sound quality to improve on substandard previous recording and duplication technologies; no doubt these songs were recorded and pressed on the very best equipment of their day, but electronics in particular improve the fastest. This song, remastered in 2019, was originally recorded 50 years prior. This is music written and recorded 55 years ago. No one familiar with the Beatles' work can name just one song as their 'favorite'. They can give you a list, but it's impossible to restrict the choice to just one. Too many genres, too many subjects.

Ringo’s drumming is always overlooked. Drummers dunk on him ‘cos he didn’t play a 24-piece, monster kit upon which he could play the bloody melody; I tend to be annoyed by those type drummers. It’s a drummer’s role to keep time, and Ringo was an human metronome. His sense of timing and his sense of audio space was impeccable. His playing always served the song, rather than himself. I think that’s true of all of the Beatles, in fact. I can’t think of any Beatles song where any member of the band goes off on some wild tangent all his own. Each of them put the good of the overall arrangement ahead of his own ego.

“It’s All Too Much” is my personal favorite.

Do I Want You (She's So Heavy) ...it's a trip

Masterpiece 🙌

I love this version and the rendition by Ritchie Havens.

One of my favorite Beatles' songs is a very early entry in the Lennon/McCartney songbook -- I'll Get You. Rockin' & rollin' Beatles' style!!! Here, There, & Everywhere is a mid-Beatle favorite. Something is late Beatles at their best!! Helter Skelter is so-called hard rock at its inception, & from the same LP (The White Album) is I Will, one of the most beautiful little love songs you'll ever hear!!! Anything & everything else they did before, after, or in between is also great, & well worth listening to!!

VId host says "This is a masterpiece." Accurate and understated. Masterpieces were the expected creations of the one, the only and the unparalleled Beatles.

Best Beatles song of all for me, always makes me feel good 🙂

Hearing George is the best therapy ever. ♥️

You ask what is our favourite Beatles song. Mine is possibly "Because". You have to hear that. There's also a bootleg of it with no instruments, only the voices, which is also great.

One George's best. I dare anyone not to smile when hearing this.

Here Comes the Sun is my favorite Beatles song. I also like good day sunshine. Give it a try.

It took you a while but, glad you finally got to hear this one. One of the Beatles better ones, but then again they’re all good. George was a great musician/song writer/singer.

Ty brother for such sweet tunes!

One of my favorites is "When I Saw Her Standing There." Please try it!!

This song makes me see the sun

George Harrison is my favorite Beatle and I love this song. I live in Alaska and I listen to this song on the day after winter solstice as a reminder that we are gaining sunlight, even if we won't notice for a couple of months. Such a great song!

The Beatles message of hope is forever.

DIRE STRAITS- if you haven’t done “Walk of Life” you must! You’ll LOVE IT!! So fun!!

The instrument you hear behind the guitar is the Moog Modular system. I love the way they use it in a subtle way and not as a wild, in your face manner. George wrote this song after a long rainy time in England. Eric Clapton was visiting him when he played it for him in the garden.

When I was down many years ago this song helped me through.

The ice is slowly melting. The glaciers are disappearing.Permafrost is melting which is probably irreversible.

George Harrison - lead guitarist for the beatles - was also into early electronic instruments, of this track you hear a Moog and also another synth he had with a fault, which caused it of slide down the octave when a key was pressed - rather than just junk it - they used it, in the into to this song...

Part of the story behind this song is the sun doesn't shine much in the UK. Even in the summer. It rarely gets over 80 degrees there, which is why you won't air conditioning in ANY home. They also don't have window screens in Europe. Back to my point, after a long Winter, Spring has finally arrived and the sun is coming out.

The instrument behind the guitar is one of the first ever synthesizers.

Something is my favorite Beatles song. Never gets old for me. Also by George Harrison.

Michael. great reaction. you picked up on so many things most people take multiple listens to get. It may not be their best but think it is their most played/requested. I like so many. Some hidden gems as in not number ones for them. You Are Going to Lose That Girl. Point here. you said was great music video. There were no music videos much before the Beatles. Check out their movie Help. Every song is basically a music video, before music videos were a thing. The Monkees show was based on the inane approach seen in Help. Trend setters in so many ways. with some help from George Martin, but their combined results were amazing and the Beatles incoroporated so much of that searching, exploring on their own. Dave here. thanks again.

my favorite song of all time

The instrument behind the opening acoustic is on of the very first Moog Synthesizers. Robert Moog had bought it to Abbey Road recording studios hoping that they might buy it... and when George sw it he had to have a play... it is all over the Abbey Road album... Keep on rocking man.

I would have to say that my favorite Beatles tune is 'Rocky Raccoon', give it a listen
