While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Remastered 2009)

Reporters once asked George how he kept his own songwriting genius so in the shadows without his ego being bruised, his answer "Are you kidding? I was in a band with John Lennon and Paul McCartney!" Class. Over everything else he brought, class.

"I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping" Yes George, I procrastinated today. Don't judge me.

George didn’t write a lot of songs but when he did they were masterpieces

This was one of George's masterpieces he wasn't credited for alot of songs he was such a amazing songwriter

Media: John and Paul were such songwriting geniuses. George: Watch this. . .

John wanted to be an artist, Paul wanted to be a pop star, George wanted to share love, and Ringo kept the whole thing in time.

Clapton really nailed that guitar solo....

Rest in Peace George Harrison and John Lennon. Amazing musicians. Your legacy and spirits will live on.

People: John and paul wrote such amazing songs. George: Hold my guitar while it gently weeps

If you ever NEEDED a reason to love George Harrison, here it is.

My favourite part 00:00 - 04:45

I do love how the guitar cries, aches, wails, and screams. It's insane. What an interesting and poetic concept to come up with for a song--that a guitar can cry as you play it and drag it's sound out to scratch the air. Beautiful. The Beatles man...

Can we get a shout out to the album cover artist?

This song is so cold it deflects bullets.

[Verse 1] I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor, and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps [Bridge 1] I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you [Verse 2] I look at the world, and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake, we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps [Guitar Solo] [Bridge 2] I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you [Verse 3] I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps (I look) Look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps [Outro] Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh

I feel like this should be the end credits song to the world

The story goes that Harrison's father, concerned his son was wasting valuable time playing in a rock group, encouraged him to go into electronics, where he could make real money. One day, while the family was sitting together at the dinner table, George said to his father, "I think I'm making real money now, Dad." Then he laid a million pound check next to his father's plate. Touche.

Lyrics I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps

"I don't know how..." part always gives me goosebumps.

Possibly George's best Beatles track, with EC on guitar solo. The slow, descending rhythm with George's sonorous vocals are quite effective.
