First Time Hearing | The Beatles - Something | Reaction 

Frank Sinatra covered this song and said this was the greatest love song ever written

The amount of talent in the Beatles is still amazing.

Ringo's drumming really makes this one of their best!

Yes this is considered George's masterpiece. Of course, he is also the singer. Yes, Here Comes The Sun another George classic

Sinatra said this was the best comtempoary love song and recorded it!

George also wrote While My Guitar Gently Weeps-I think his best!

my favorite beatle's song was written by george..... "here comes the sun..."

This song hits different, just unique. The instrumentals are awesome & vocals too. I approve Lol! 💯🎯

It was so awesome to be a teenage girl during the Beatles years! “Meet The Beatles” was the first album I ever owned. They were so innovative and evolving their music, it was amazing to experience. 💜👵🏼✌🏼 Didn’t George write “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”?

Paul's bass lines on this are special

This song and Here Comes The Sun are on the same album. George did usually get two songs per album. Ringo’s song on the same album is probably his best. It’s called ‘Octopuses Garden’. George plays a cool country style guitar on that song.

George was my favorite Beatle. Was so talented. He wrote so many good songs. My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of my favorite George songs. He was known as the quiet Beatle.

I hear that the number one Beatles tune on streaming services is “Here Comes The Sun”. I guess George finally got his revenge. 😂

Great song! "Something" is on the Beatles 1969 album "Abbey Road". It was written by George Harrison. George also wrote the song "Here Comes The Sun" on the same Abbey Road album.

George was the youngest of the Beatles and did not wrting until years after John and Paul. So his early work, as he was learning, was up against two of the most successful songwriters of the time. There are videos of him discussing his lyric problems on this song with John and Paul and them giving him advice on how to get past the block of a missing word, so it was not like they were unsupportive. Ringo wrote Octopus's Garden which is so Ringo. There is film of George helping him with that. They were all still in their 20's when this was happening and there were all different kinds of pressures happening as well as having had a kind of fame that was arguably unprecedented happen extremely quickly at a very young age.

You read that wife Pattie Boyd was the inspiration for this song. She was also the object of Eric Clapton’s desire in Layla and the topic of another of his hits, Wonderful Tonight.

A George Harrison masterpiece, written for his first wife, Patti Boyd. One of the most beautiful love songs ever! I can't listen to it without watching the official video. Must do the video!

Ringo lead vocal on cover songs: - Boys - Matchbox - Honey Don't - Act Naturally Ringo lead vocal on Lennon/McCartney songs: - I wanna be your man (also one of the Stones' early singles! ) - What Goes On (Ringo gets a cowriting credit, but he said he only wrote 5 words) - Yellow Submarine - With A Little Help From My Friends - Goodnight Ringo originals with the Beatles: - Don't Pass Me By - Octopus's Garden Those are his lead vocals on official studio releases, I hope I didn't forget any. And you may find some live recordings where he sings some other covers, but I couldn't tell you from the top of my head.

this is harrisons monument, even more so than 'my sweet lord'.

While my Guitar gently Weeps - Long and Winding Road-Norwegian Wood . There are many great Harrison songs. I always thought of him as the soul of the Beatles ☮️

After Pattie Boyd broke up with George, she married Eric Clapton. George wrote "I Need You," "Something," "For You Blue," (all performed by the Beatles) and "So Sad" for Pattie. Eric Clapton wrote for her "Layla," "Wonderful Tonight," and "She's Waiting." She had a brief fling with Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, who wrote "Mystifies Me," and "Breathe on Me" for her.

Yes, please check out "Here Comes The Sun". If you do the one you want is the 2019 50th anniversary remix with a great video with it. Sounds incredible. Happy New Year Peace ❤

one of the all time best love songs ever! dbl ♥ You gotta do Harrisons Beatle song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps BTW - make sure to do the 2009 stereo remastered version (superior sound)

My Sweet George ❤❤❤

With the exception of Yesterday, I read where Something has more cover versions than any other Beatles song. Though I love this song, there are several songs that George wrote that I prefer. Long, Long, Long and Here Comes the Sun immediately spring to mind.

Ringo has a composition (helped along by George) on Abbey Road (as are Something and Here Comes The Sun) called Octopus’ Garden. Definitely check it out!

George’s songs are different from the others- he wrote a lot in a minor key. You should react to his “All Things Must Pass” album. Lyrically and musically it is unsurpassed. I got it in high school(early 1970’s) and it remains one of my all time favorite albums. Every song is a gem, and the third album of jam sessions is amazing. To me, George surpassed John and “Paul” in his solo work.

This song is simply fantastic!

You do know that Ringo did the lead vocals on the Beatle's version of "Little Help From My Friends".

Great George songs Taxman Here comes the Sun While my guitar gently weeps If I needed someone

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is another by George.

After the breakup, George released All Things Must Pass - an epic collection of amazing song writing (unfortunately with epically bad production). Worth checking out.

Sinatra acknowledged the songs greatness "Something" (1969). But Sinatra didn’t just sing it; he said it was “one of the best love songs” ever written. As you mentioned when George originally wrote the song, he had someone like Ray Charles singing it in his mind. Charles did record the song not long after Abbey Road was released.

I believe the Beatles contract stated that George would have 2 compositions per LP and Ringo would have one. George wrote many compositions while with the Beatles but not included on the LP's. So, when the Beatles broke up and George did his first solo adventure, he had plenty of material to put those songs for a 3LP set (All Things Must Pass). I don't know about Joe Cocker singing "Something", but he did a cover version of "She Came Into The Bathroom Window'" which was on that same album, Abbey Road.

The 1st time I heard this it was back in the day. I bought the 45 record “Come Together” and decided to listen to the B side. I fell 8n love with Something the 1st time I heard it. Happy New Year ✌️🎶

George sung both songs too. Check out Tax Man and Within You Without You, both written and sung by George. A genius in his own right, he was frustratingly outshone by Paul and George. I really enjoy your reactions. Keep it going!

Yesterday is probably my favorite. But the 'new' song Now & Then is very good too!

I am subscribing...thank you..great reaction...from Australia 🇦🇺

Love this song, beautiful. Nice reaction; I like all the background info you gave on this. Glad youll be doing Here Comes the Sun. I had this 45! ❤

This is actually George's second best Beatles song. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is just a bit better. That's saying a lot. Ringo's best song is also on Abbey Road - Octopus's Garden. George gets a big assist for that song too, as he helped compose it and played some of his best lead guitar on it.

Joe sang it on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen movie and album.

I'm just right at the point where it ends and unless it was wishful thinking and believe me one of the things I love most about myself growing up as a music lover and a musician is that I focus so much on the music I have a huge tendency to miss Here lyrics, at least in terms of phrases and fill them in with my own micro poetry, but I'm pretty sure you noticed that incredible ending to the bass guitar line there with Paul mccartney.

You should watch the Peter Jackson film, "Get Back"! It shows the Beatles working on the new songs for what would eventually become the "Let It Be" album but during that time they were all dabbling in song-writing that would become those tracks from Abbey Road, as well! That film is so cool to watch, when you realize where they would end up, within the year. They were struggling to make the Let It Be film project work -- they were supposed to play a live performance of the new songs at the end but they only gave themselves, like, 3 or 4 weeks to work it all out -- but they worked through their issues and it turned out to be a fantastic album. The original film was not as good as it could have been which is why Peter Jackson made "Get Back". He definitely showed much more of what was going on with the band, both positive and negative, and it shows their friendship and brotherhood winning the day, more so than the original film form 1970. Awesome 3-part mini-series/film!

This was George's last contribution to the Beatles. George wrote, Don't bother me, Blue Jay Way, If I needed someone, For you Blue, While My Guitar Gently weeps. George got 2 songs per album, Ringo got to sing one song on every album.

Check out Taxman which is also written by George Harrison

You have a nice singing voice! (You know the Joe Cocker song you’re singing is a Beatles song, right?) ‘Something’ and ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ are my favorite songs ever. Their relationships were complicated near the end but they all loved and appreciated each other. You might enjoy watching the ‘Get Back’ docu-series.

Check out his song What is Life.

George also wrote While my guitar gently weeps and others

George sings it to, by the way. He sings, Here Comes The Sun too.

Songs from solo George Harrison -Crackerbox Palace -What is Life -Blow Away -Give Me Love -Thanks!

Billy Preston was the 'fifth' Beatle.

Compared to Lennon/McCartney, George was a late bloomer (although he did write "Don't Call on Me" on the Meet the Beatles album). But when he bloomed he made up for lost time.

This song was written about George's wife Patty Boyd. Eric Clapton stole Patty from George and he wrote a song about her too. It is called Layla - Derek & The Dominos is the name of the band Eric was in at the time

Ringo wrote Octopus’s Garden

This was a song that George Harrison wrote for his 1st wife Pattie Boyd... Unfortunately, they divorced under a cloud of drugs & infidelity in the 70's... Harrison then married his 2nd wife Olivia and had his only son Dhani... they were together until his death in 2001.

With a little help is also a Beatles song

Ringo did A Little Help From My Friends and Yellow Submarine.

George has many masterpieces….One of the Greatest “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” You Must Be Careful believing in the “facts” you’re reading. George was a very important member.

While my guitar gently weeps A day in the life Drive my car In my life

❤🇮🇹

Where are your headphones?

Check out "It Don't Come Easy" by Ringo

Thanks but you should have accompanied this with The Official Video as it showed all 4 couples...

You should check out another iconic George Harrison composition, this time off of the Beatles "White Album". The song is called "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YFDg-pgE0Hk.html Peace

It's not John & Paul's fault that George didn't step up as a song writer sooner, in their career. John & Paul had a synergy and productive dynamic between them (and as individuals, because of their friendship and collaborative partnership), so they did what they were good at, and enjoyed, doing. George may have felt insecure about his song-writing chops in comparison but only George could solve that problem. I don't think they were actively rejecting his ideas but more of that George didn't really push for them because he was always second-guessing himself. It was a difficult situation, no doubt, but it took George a long while to resolve it because it was his burden to bear, no one else's. When he was ready, he showed out, and became the good/great song writer that he was meant to be!

I love this song but I do think Smokey Robinson Sings it better. I would say that because Smokey Robinson is the greatest singer..

George's writing supposedly wasn't good enough until near the end of the group. Example: Northern Song, their worst tune in my opinion.
