Absolutely. The Beatles had been very concerned about suffering from famine (they gave back their O.B.E.s [the next best thing to being knighted] to protest the starvation in Biafra [a region of Nigeria that was trying to revolt and the UK was suppressing it, because Nigeria has a LOT of oil]) but it was George who went the extra mile, basically creating the "benefit concert" and making it a success.

The Song was about his Love of life and how he wanted a more spiritual Connection with God in his daily life.

More than any other Beatle, George went on a spiritual journey trying to find a deeper meaning to life beyond fame and fortune. He had attained the pinnacle of success as far as this world was concerned. He was in the greatest band ever. He had financial freedom. He had an abundance of sensual experiences. But still, there was an emptiness. He felt that there must be something more to life than this. And he chose to pursue God through the Hindu faith. And I think that sooner or later everyone comes to this fork in the road, where we either go on our personal journey in pursuit of Someone or Something greater than ourselves that will somehow fill that void in our souls that says, “There has to be more to life than this. If there is a God, He meant for me to seek Him and ultimately to find Him.” Or people go down that other side where there’s no meaning in life, and that once you die that’s it. There’s no more consciousness. We close our eyes and then everything fades to black. My personal journey took me to God through Jesus Christ. In Him I’ve found fulfillment, peace, and joy in life. May God bless you all in your journey and search for God and meaning in life. In the meantime, let’s love and care for one another. After all, life is short, and we’ve only been given one to live. So, let’s be kind to one another.

When massive fame hit, the Beatles were suddenly bigger than life. This is when a lot of musicians lose themselves in drugs and lifestyle. The Beatles went on spiritual journeys to help keep the egos in check. George always had Hare Krishna's around the studio and his house. Remember Doctor Hook & the Medicine show on Cover of the Rolling Stone talking about a "genuine Indian guru teaching them a better way". Exploring meditation and other cultures were a big deal at the time. He isn't wishing for death, but rather has an intense desire for a closer relationship with God.

George was sued for copyright infringement after this came out and lost the case. He then wrote a humorous song called "This Song", the video of which had him in a courtroom defending his music. It's worth a listen.

This a really great album, made up of songs he’d saved up as wasn’t allowed to record with the Beatles. The other big hit off the album was What is Life. I recommend it if you haven’t already reacted to it.

George didn't want to die. He, like many people, wanted to experience a personal relationship with God here now, in this life on Earth.

Alan Watts! How cool that you know about him. His books and tapes were mother's milk at one time. This song was an early form of world music, and a bit of an olive branch to Hindus and Indians. Very popular when it came out, but at lone time they were sued for it being so close to "He's So Fine", by The Chiffons, which sounds so weird now, but who would perk up a wee lad's ears in the early '60s. The Beatles went to India and studied with the Maharishi and Ravi Shankar, got high and made music from and about the experiences. I already told the hall monitor.

In 1976, Harrison was found to have subconsciously plagiarised the song, a verdict that had repercussions throughout the music industry. Rather than the Chiffons song, he said he used the out-of-copyright Christian hymn "Oh Happy Day" as his inspiration for the melody.

You guys inspired me to look this one up, and a little surprised I never had till now because I always loved this song. Per the interwebs.... Harrison’s lyrical attempt to bridge a divide between Christianity and Hinduism was one meaning of the song. There is also a hint of impatience in the Harrison penned track. Really want to see you, Lord, Harrison sings, But it takes so long, my Lord (Hallelujah). This verse speaks to Harrison’s own spiritual journey in which he heavily studied Eastern religions like Hindu. In his exploration, Harrison was particularly drawn to the Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda’s teachings. One such teaching, “If there’s a God, we must see him. And if there is a soul, we must perceive it,” was an inspiration for “My Sweet Lord.”

It was George Harrison that introduced Indian music, philosophy and spirtuality to the western culture of the late 60"s. The lyric's of George's Beatle contributions reflected that. Check out the song Within You, Without You from the Sgt. Pepper album. The Beatles also went to a meditation retreat in India in 68. George also help organize the world's first ever Benefit Concert. The Concert For Bangladesh in 1971.

For me as an atheist the great thing about this track is the joy of the sound - it is a huge joyous celebratory sound which engenders happiness. It's a kind of contagious joy about something. e.g. I've never been to California, but I still love many songs which celebrate the best of it it (Beach Boys, Mamas and Papas, America etc) cos - to me and apparently millions of others - they ooze happiness and joy and its hard to deny that the world needs as much of that as it can get.

In musical terms "My Sweet Lord" is pretty similar to "He's So Fine" but it's not a copy. The record is a classic pop song build, starting from that simple double tracked acoustic guitar intro, building and building to something that sounds like a whole stadium full of people singing those backing lines. "build" songs have rarely been done better than this. I can only guess at how many studio hours it must have taken George to put this together in 1970 - not a few. It was, and it remains, one of the crown jewels of British pop.

I suggest next you react to "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons. Wink, wink! 😉

I remember the lawsuit that was filed against George. I must admit that I hadn't noticed the similarities of these two songs until the legal action.

One of my favorite songs❤️

Great song... I remember playing drums and singing this in our Roman Catholic youth choir in the early 70s.

This is it! This is the song that got me started on my Indo-European language exploration. I was 12 at the time. Today I speak multiple languages because of this song. This and the Beatles song "across the universe." Young people, keep it going!

George was successfully sued for plagiarism because it was thought this sounded too much like "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons. Despite being an atheist, this is one of my favorite songs. The message is amazingly powerful.

Wow did not know this, no one had ever mentioned this in all the times of heard this song on the radio. And I’ve heard this song like a thousand times coming from a 56 year old

How many lifetimes will it take George ? You and your music taught us so much.

Aloha guys, Love this song, excellent reaction...beautiful George...a hui hou

Insightful reaction from Brad and Lex. When you think of life at its most fundamental level, you have to eat something else in order to live. Something else ( be it animal or plant ) has to die for you to live, so as Brad says, life by its very nature is going to be hard and competitive.

I love this song so much… I love that his intention was inclusion of Judeo-Christian God and the gods of Hindu. Beautiful

Happy Birthday, Baby George. 25/02/1943 The quiet, dark and mysterious Beatle. Or was he? At one of The Beatles' first recording sessions with George Martin, they were asked by George Martin " Is there anything you don't like?" and quick as a flash George Harrison said "Well for one thing I don't like your tie!"

What a wonderful VIBE that makes us feel this song! A very great inner peace! George was inspired when he wrote this masterpiece! Congratulations on the choice folks! a hail here from Brazil!

I don’t believe in the existence of any god, but I can appreciate good music, regardless. That slide guitar work was nice 👍 I can also appreciate how some people might hunger for the ‘sweet release of death’ either because they believe they’ll be reunited with their creator or because life can really ramp up one’s suffering at times.

I don't think the song is about yearning for the "sweet release of death'. My guess is that George's intent was to provide a link to a different view. One in line with Brad's observation. The concept of death being how one gets "reunited with their creator" is what is most familiar to us in the US. However, "To see you Lord" or to "to know you Lord" doesn't necessarily mean that, especially in the Hindu influenced religions that have a tradition of reincarnation. A common view there is that death leads to another try at "getting it right". Think Ground Hog Day. That often combines with a view that we are already united with our creator, we just don't know it. Getting to really know that is something we can work on. Something to strive for in this life.

Stubborn much? Oh I forgot you atheists have been around the universe, or maybe your just in denial? Atheism is really dumb and that's actually a fact, not my own words

Great song but Harrison did end up getting sued by songwriter Ronnie Mack & the singing group The Chiffons for plagiarism of Mack's song "He's So Fine" and Harrison lost the lawsuit this song was one of the first major plagiarism cases to change how laws on how singer/songwriters have to give song writing credits to the original songwriters.

Dont you just love these two- hey guys loved this george Harrison

From what I have gathered over listening to his music and a recent listening to a biography about George's spiritual side this is about a longing for God to be with him now and throughout his life on earth and afterwards.

To me, George's solo work was the best of the Beatles. My favorite of his is "What Is Life".

George Harrison was my favorite Beatle and he was extremely underrated as a lyricist and vocalist. This song is catchy and has an interesting meaning, yes, but he has written so many better songs. There isn't much lyrical substance and its too repetitive

It's about the message with this song. This hit me hard at age 12 when it came out....a very calming vibe I would seek out to help me through the angst...this is beautiful in it's simplicity & spiritual vibe. Thank you, George♥️

I love Brad’s point of view on religion and life

RIP George Harrison. You are gone but never forgotten 💕💞🤠

What is life is my favorite George Harrison song. Give it a spin. Thank you peace ✌️

If you think everything takes so long that shows your youth, the older you get you realise time is precious the longer the better because before you know it time has flown passed you

George and this song got me into investigating my own spirituality and George is like my guru and helped me realize myself and my awakening and enlightenment. HARE KRISHNA. ✌ 🙏

My dad loved this song!!!!

I remember hearing this on the radio during Christmas time. Love Harrison, Lennon and McCartney solo careers.

Let all the great spiritual guides from all cultures be praised❤

He's not talking about dying as the means to meet his Lord, he means the method of spiritual connection he has chosen ie chanting mantra, is a long process, but one he's willing to endure to have that wonderful meeting with his Lord, in his eyes Lord Krishna. This may be one of the most successful religious songs ever written, despite whatever your spiritual/religious leaning may be. Well done George the world needs more human beings like you who put themselves out there despite what others may think.

I just got a shock. You're awareness of Alan Watts and his history. I listened weekly to Alan Watts' on radio in So Cal.for 20 yrs.at least. Although he passed away, his recorded show can still be heard on KPFK radio. Thanks for mentioning him. Trandsend.

Favorite Beatle. Wrote such great stuff and voice and guitar are exquisite.

Such a beautiful song. My favorite of his solo work. ✌️♥️

He stole this song. He was sued and lost. I guess he isn't as good as you thought. Just a stupid hippy

My favorite post Beatle songs (any Beatle) have always been (and still are): "Awaiting On You All", "What is Life", "Wah Wah" (wah wah guitar peddle) and "Bangaladesh" (live). I dont know why these songs have been so ignored in the suggestions to reactors for years. George reportedly had a "budget" of 2 songs per Beatle album and has been said to have about 200 saved up at their breakup. I've been a Beatlemaniac since 5 seconds into "I Want to Hold Your Hand" on one of my 5 older sister's car radio in December 1963. I was 11. Perfect. " Miami" Steve Van Zandt (Bruce Springsteen/ Sopranos) said (on video): "On February 8th, 1964, no guys were in a band. On February 10th, 1964 (1 day after Ed Sullivan appearance) every guy was in a band. including me and friends...anybody we could get.

Lex is like, this makes you want to know what the higher power is while wearing SLAYER shirt🤘😆Love you guys!

One can only imagine what George was personally seeking after a long 10 years with the Beatles. He certainly was on a mission of the soul and self, probably had thoughts of why we are here, who knows, just speculating........

The Hare Krishnas are a local (NYC) branch of Hinduism. I think this song is largely a mediative koan, something sung to help clear the mind.

Give me love and what is life are my two favorites from him.

I'm one the 5 people not a huge fan of the Beatles, but I absolutely loved their independent careers. I can't explain it, but I think this song is a great demonstration of why that may be. This song still strikes a chord with me.
