Everything you need to know about The Beatles' "Within You Without You." |
Somewhere in 1967, George Harrison confessed to author Hunter Davies, "I don't personally enjoy being a Beatle anymore. I'm attempting to find answers to the more significant issues in life." At the same time, in the height of his disillusion with being a Beatle, he made the most un-Beatle-esque tune possible.
🗣️ "Before then everything I’d known had been in the West," George said, "and so the trips to India had really opened me up. I believe much more in the religions of India than in anything I ever learned from Christianity. I was into the whole thing, the music, the culture, the smells…I’d been let out of the confines of the group, and it was difficult for me to come back into the sessions. In a way, it felt like going backwards. Everybody else thought that 'Sgt. Pepper' was a revolutionary record - but for me it was not as enjoyable… I was growing out of that kind of thing."
