While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Across The Universe)

[thebetterbookreview]

George Harrison didn't write many of the Beatles' songs, but the ones he did write were so much more powerful than most anything else they put out.

[DrPaynesTrain]

@Abram556 you are poo. shut your dumb racist def ass up and eat shit. you have no ear for musical genius

[Kasino80]

this is the best version I've ever heard

[Kasino80]

he brings a Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" vibe to this that makes it a whole new song...brilliant

[pur3pker207]

with every mistake.. we must surley be learning.

[Kasino80]

@pur3pker207 to bad that's not the case

[redronin09]

I love the original beatles music, but I feel these covers help show other meanings to the words and put them in a more modern perspective

[jussyleartiste]

la piel se me hace chinda cuando escucho esta cancion

[PFCmutt]

I wish I could find more music like this

[Connie80s]

I just love that scene of Jude and Jojo walking together and singing

[sniper9722]

watchign this on MLK day that man did work and helped so many thumbs this up in remembrance

[Deano1736]

The actor who plays Jojo is called Martin Luther McCoy. The reason I enjoy listening to this song more than the original is because this tribute to Dr. King clearly transcends the script, it's something he's probably dreamed of doing his whole life and the passion with which he sings shows that.

[Oceanbigcat317]

In case nobody knows, he is the representation of Jimi Hendrix. If everybody knows this, disregard this message.

[is57show]

Love it!

[LadyFlawless13]

OMG ! Im So In Love With This Muvie!

I Watch It All Thhe Time :)

"Obsessed" Much :]

[meechee2011]

This song is freaking awesome. I went to listen to other versions and I have to say this is the one I favored most.

[gerarddummett]

George Harrison is a Lyrical God.

[mevansmusic]

Every family in the world should own this movie. Thumbs up if you agree.

[jiminycrint]

What's the point of comparing the versions? This movie is great and is a good way for people who may be put off by the 'sound' of the Beatles to get into these amazing songs. Elliot Goldenthal's arrangements throughout are pure class...

[julicarpediem]

nice, but the best version is still Harrison's , the one in the anthology (not the one in the white album)

[AppleLoveSauce]

Jude's moaning...Eargasm.

[barnabybye1]

Jesus how dear to compare the original with this?? you know is not bad, but come on!! the mellow and the melancholy besides the awesome guitar is thousands of times better :/

[AcousticAxeMan]

This is one of the few covers of a Beatles song that I enjoy just as much as the original. Beautiful interpretation. Wonderful movie.

[Sandriikts11]

If they make a Jimi Hendrix Movie... Jojo could be Jimi! (L)

[Alleycat806]

The Beattles are legends and without them we wouldnt have these musical works of art. But sometimes there are those who take what we have done a step further and turns them into masterpieces. this is a great rendition!

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

@Alleycat806 Good comment Alleycat. I'm a Beatles nut but agree their songs are still open to better versions (as is all music) and this is a bloody good one. Much of the very early Blues has been adapted, changed a little and arguably improved but it doesn't for a second take away from the genius originals.

[m6grimm9]

love the song but seeing how many people dont know shit about the movie makes me laugh. and for everyone that keeps saying Max represents Kurt Cobain, google when he was born. fucking stupid.

Max represents Brian Epstein's son, & for those of you who don't even know who Epstein is, he was The Beatles' manager until he died in '67.

[2Sefirotik7]

I felt.. woah!! when I justo saw the paintings all over the floor and through the apartment.. the tears stream down in her face made me feel the romanticism

[222gallo]

The best song in the whole movie!

[ernestoluzan]

Actually he does resembles cobain... Crazy... Fucking great song.

[MitzidotMay]

how is max kurt cobain if kurt cobain was born the year before this movie was meant to take place? he's an icon of the 90's not the 60's

[sweetrevenge345]

His voice ! <3

[Montoyamommy]

No words ..

[Habbofan1996]

Holy shit ! , The new Jimmy hendrix

[UltimateMrGuitarist]

I legit get shivers while listening to this version of the song <3

[ILikeTURTLESxDWEEE]

When Martin Luther McCoy starts singing, and Martin Luther King is giving his speech in the background ("I'm tired...!!!") it just makes this song more moving, inspiring, everything :)

[stargleek23]

"With every mistake we must sure be learning."

best part of the whole song, and oh so true.

[666devilfabricater]

theres nothing i can say except...long live the beattles,long live the beauty of this world and long live those few people who still see its beauty everyday.

[GranTruismo4head]

I wish the Beatles and Clapton were able to see this (And I mean all of them, even George and John) I Miss John and George so much, and this song reminds me that they are in a better place now

[AsIanasitgets]

Such a beautiful song!

[jcmcv08]

Es el cover perfecto de esta cancion!

[bluetracer2]

Of course this version isn't as good as the original because it isn't the original. But for what it is, and how they turned this masterpiece into a stripped-bare blues tune while maintaining the beauty, while still displaying the power and emotion the original carried shows that this version is a masterpiece in itself.

[highflyingbourne]

@bluetracer2 This.

[Abram556]

this version is horrible AND BLACK IS HORRIBLE UGLY ¬¬ NO IS GEORGE HARRISON IS POO

[TehLimp]

@Abram556 suck my dick. this song is beautiful. btw, "black" is supposed to be playing the role of Jimi Hendrix.

[Th3N3onSpaZ]

@Abram556 FUCK U DOUCHE BAG

[jargonco]

It took out the idea of separation, with the idea of God out because of separation through religion. Hell, if we all prayed to one God, that would be one thing, but people have started wars against that idea alone.

[Radioactive1080z]

@jargonco if we left behind our attachment to a god or entity maybe there wouldn't be as many wars 

[gawgetter]

This is beautiful

[MermaidPrincess9]

Wow Profound statement... beautiful. I agree with the old man with obvious great insight.. brava.. This is one of the sadest songs ever written and it a dark and beautiful masterpiece. thanks george for sharing your beauty and pain with us all. John thank you for your beautiful soul which wrote the words to one of the most beautiful ethereal songs ever written and for your vision that you shared with the world that was your Dream John and through you love and passion it became our dream . Love

[retrokid1992]

I love this version, the emotion is just so raw...

[santiago44505]

wow



[strokesprincess]

I swear Jim's moaning will be the death of me... So, so hot.

[TheYearsWasted]

@strokesprincess that's my favorite part too <3

[peperepe9]

me gusta mucho!!!

[LoVePeAcEmUsIc97]

Not as good as Georgie, but really really good

[MsMandaPanda101]

I love this version.

The moaning at the end was hot.

[EislehcElleinad]

@MsMandaPanda101 That's my favorite part! I love it<3

[Ritchina40]

I feel guilty, but I like this version better than the Beatles. He does it so beautifully.

[TheEvesmiles]

@Ritchina40 yeah, his voice was made for this song, nothing to feel guilty about...thier are songwriters and then there are song singers....I love the harmonizing ending...

[TheFylleimperiet]

@Ritchina40 Okay u should feel guilty cuz Beatles version is so damn much better.

[Patchworkdrum]

@Ritchina40 Don't feel guilty. Sometimes a different arrangement of a song has more emotion and feeling than the original.

[MrBula26]

@Ritchina40 me too!!!!!eddy

[Khermanis]

I don't know why there's no reason to listen to this [..] if we can listen orginal version. This song can't be without Eric's guitar solo and Georges voice. By the way, one of the best versions is Clapton's version of Concert for George.

[TaCupcakeLicker]

ahh I love it when he sais " I don't know why nobody told you" ahh So beautiful!

[XxXKawaiiSocksXxX]

Love this cover. It is amazing! But nothing can beat George Harrison...

[BJbasketcase17]

THE MOANING AT THE END ♥

[Rizo536]

Original is still my fav, but this is an amazing interpretation.

[doomster345]

Oh my god that harmony is simply orgasmic.

This is such a beautiful rendition of a classic <3

[holtmanlikesguitar]

if Jude would've left the bar earlier he would have stopped Lucy from leaving!! but thats no fun, im sure i would have preferred singing this i guess!

[supportxourxtroopz]

and, Jude is Lennon. Jude is lennons son. hey Jude is about him, because he was so upset by Yoko destroying his family.

[AbyoErui]

I love George's version of the song and ATU's...but god, this man's voice gives me goosebumps <3

[y0viv0cantand0]

if all the beatles could see this movie, and this scene in particular, they would be so goddamn proud. if only they couldve all been alive to truly see the impact they made on the world.

[Paretifube]

Sadie - Janis Joplin

Jude - Paul McCartney (Hey Jude)

Max - Kurt Cobain (Maxwell's Silver Hammer)

Lucy - Pattie Boyd (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds)

Prudence - Yoko Ono (Dear Prudence)

Jojo - Jimi Hendrix

DrRobert by Bono (U2)

Vagabond by Joe Cocker

[PromiserOfDeath]

@Paretifube Yup Jojo does a good Jimi Hendrix!

[Kids0poke0smot]

@Paretifube Kurt Cobain was born in 1967..

[supportxourxtroopz]

@Paretifube Jude is Lennon, cuz Jude is the name of his son.

hey jude was written for his son after he was upset over lennon marrying Yoko.

[MzBackStabber]

@Paretifube Lucy makes me think of Linda more...

[luvsvolleyball27]

@Paretifube Also sadie is from the song Sexy Sadie

[0hBr0therProductions]

@Paretifube and jojo is from the song "get back"

[GarbagemanRogue]

@Paretifube Sadie: Sexy Sadie

[AwesomeBuddy12]

@Paretifube

Jude is supposed to be John as well.

[DeathCabLoverx3]

@Paretifube Also, the Beatles song that Sadie is from is Sexy Sadie.

[RockChannel1964]

@Paretifube Sadie is from Sexy Sadie (White Album)

And in a part of Come Together, Lennon says: "Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner but he knew it couldn't last..."

^^

[Stardust7xx]

@RockChannel1964 It isn't Come Together, it is Get back :)

[RockChannel1964]

@Stardust7xx Yesss!! Fck, I forgot >_< e_e

Thanks :)

[Inglouriousbastard78]

@Paretifube Jim Morrison is missing :S

[godofwar0520]

i was named after Paul McCartney!!

[ozzLemmSa]

This version is better ever.

[saturdaysky123]

was max supposed to potray kurt cobain?

[AnAverageBox]

@saturdaysky123 yes :P jude was paul macartney and the black guy was jimi hendrix i forgot the rest

[desartdaisy]

HE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB I WOULD PAY TO SEE HIM SING. I LIKE ALL THE BEATLES BUT I THINK PAUL WAS THE BEST.

[TheSappy1314]

I'm sorry to everyone. I love this version the most, George Harrison is probably the best Beatle, if not Lennon, but I love Jimi Hendrix more and this version fuses them together into one beautiful composition, So much soul and all the good stuff. Just my opinion, sorry if i offended

[gibsonsgrich]

way to ruin like 20 good beatles songs hollywood

[WhatThePuce]

@gibsonsgrich This is actually my favorite version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's strikes me so much more than the original (which I love to begin with).

[PromiserOfDeath]

At first i thought Jo-Jo (Martin Luther) was suppose to represent Jimi Hendrix!

[AlfuriX]

@PromiserOfDeath Joplin, Hendrix, Cobain, McCartney and Yoko

[m6grimm9]

@AlfuriX Cobain was NOT a part at all, he wasn't even born.

[TheSuperGamefreak]

next to let it be, this is my favorite ATU song

[joemendozavorex]

why lucy leave alone to jude ?, SHIT is so sad

[telecasterbear]

is this from a movie?

[089irene]

@telecasterbear its from a movie called Across the Universe

[Inuyashafreak9494]

This is beautiful

[FirePedal]

I cry every time i get to this part in the movie... the emotions are so raw and powerful...It's quite overwhelming.

[SKeyDATinkK]

love that film!!!

[jradism]

his voice gives me chills i can only dream of having a quater of his voice

[casdebom2]

Is he channelling hendrix in any way?

[jradism]

@casdebom2 yeah hes representing jimi hendrix around that era hence the head band he gets later on in the movie :)

[CrawdaddyJoe]

Across the Universe: 'The Sixties', with an all-Beatles soundtrack

[tophog354]

this cover sets the standard. i can't say it's better than the original, but it's damn close

[dubooya]

THIS is how you cover this song. James Durbin can GTFO

[butterfly4001]

@dubooya I know right, I felt like he totally missed the emotion of the song.

[laal67]

one of my favorite scenes

[12beav]

if ever one ever says that there is no story behind this movie it's because they aren't really looking at the movie at all... There is a story one must look at how each song affects the each individual scene because each scene focuses on each major aspect of the 60s and what happened during the time period. once one looks at each song, it is then that they can look at the movie as a whole and see that it does have a story(line) too it...

[MrPaul0503]

@12beav the songs are beautifully integrated in the movie, they show the thoughts and feelings of the characters. It's my favourite movie.

[courtneyecho]

does anyone else think the singer of this song looks just like jimi hendrix?

[ObsceenelyBefuddled]

@courtneyecho that's the idea :D

[caramon770]

@courtneyecho Ever noticed sadie looks like Joplin? And bono looks like, well, bono? lol

[philliyfanbo]

@caramon770 thats the point. jude is supposed 2 b paul, the black guy is hendrix, the blonde guy i think is supposed 2 b cobain every1 represents some1

[caramon770]

@philliyfanbo I know lol. I was just being a smartass.

[Bea1red]

awww now those 21 ppl just pressed the dislike button just for the sake of it!

[LunaXme]

Nice resung version, I like it!!!

Iwanjka, LunaXme (Surfing the Universe, SurfnClimb!)

[XxILUVYOUx]

his voice is perfect for this song. i love it :)) <33

[XxILUVYOUx]

his voice is perfect for this song. :)) <33

[TheMarz0]

Great song!

[XTurboX10]

I Dont have a favourite beatle (: . All are my favourite beatles :D

[hipster1138]

@XTurboX10 RINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

john lennon was the heart and soul of that band

[PLhuxert]

@XTurboX10 as I do

[buwitt]

im in love!

[jekennamer]

Jimi Hendrix?

[tataraver602]

so beautiful but yet so sad... who would've thought that martin luther king would be mentioned in one of george harrison's songs.... R.I.P both of you.... matin luther king fought for his people... and harrison fought for us to belive in god again...

[thegunslinger3k]

I was listening to this song on the radio once, and an old man came up to me and said: "George Harrison and John Lennon have done more than anyone else to help humans realize that god and the world are one." I was taken aback by how profound that staement was, and it has always stuck with me.

[roxmysoxify]

@thegunslinger3k so it was some old random deep man? cool.

[silverskittles50]

@thegunslinger3k thats beautiful

[Xxiry2jxX]

@thegunslinger3k Them and Christ Jesus, of course.

[ApollonApostle]

@thegunslinger3k Except John Lennon wrote "Imagine", which proposed a world without the concept of God whatsoever.

[TheYacovKleiman]

@thegunslinger3k What an insult. Lennon did not believe in God and it went against his ideal of a perfect world as he imagined it. Replace God with love and there is a profound statement.

[IzakiTschiyua]

You ruined this song by keeping all the noise in the background! Totally can't enjoy with talking people and yelling black men!

[escarinhas]

MELHOR FILME DO MUNDOOOOOOOOOOO *-*

[GranTruismo4head]

This Song is Soo darn Sad but Since Valentines Day is comeing in a few days it helps me out here

[aquashadow9]

@evergabrielle Did you see the GUY singing? haha its a guy singing

[evergabrielle]

so.. is the person at 2:00 a girl or does he

just have an extremely girlish-sounding voice?

[1076thestuff]

@evergabrielle sounds like him... he probably has a good falsetto

[HeckYeahHeckNo]

@evergabrielle No, that is definitely not a girl. lol. He's singing a higher part but definitely doesn't sound like a girl.

[Reuben568]

This movie is absolutely amazing! The characters renditions of the Beatles songs are done so well!

[icarlylvr97]

this is my favorite movie of all time

[Lely2468]

this is so well played and sung

[ScreamerGhostBoy]

very good :)

[LoveLifeVnecks]

happy b-day martin luther king(:

[mjfreak95]

Is it just me or does it sound like hes too much auto tuned at 01:16 ?

[thebeatlesliveon123]

i love the beatles, like alot, but i didnt really care to much for this movie, dont know what it is but i just didnt

[jradism]

jojos guitar playing is amazing u can feel what he feels not only through his voice but his guitar weeping

[NeptuneMS385]

Do they actually have the song Across the Universe for the movie? 'Cuz that'd be awesome..

[bobthebonboncat]

@NeptuneMS385 they do

[kyle0890]

@NeptuneMS385 Yes they do. Just search it.

[NeptuneMS385]

@kyle0890 Already did. Didn't like it because Helter Skelter interrupted it ):

[Kassaremidybelllynn]

@NeptuneMS385 If you look for the studio version, it's just the song without Helter Skelter interrupting.

[Puha12365]

Thats the best one! Love the movie, and his hair :D

[Numnumonmyballs]

Also wtf is wrong with you listen to the songs or don't. Jack off before you post comments on youtube.

[joytoy322]

One of the best movies I've ever seen. This scene always gives me chills. Along with the "A Day in the Life" scene. Gaaahhhh.. I need to watch this right now!

[savannahraye]

THIS SONG IS ABOSOLUTLY AMAZING! i LOVED IT BEFORE AND LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW! OH AND THIS MOVIE ROCKS!

[WillGdaFather]

Mannn!!! I bought this soundtrack (when movie came out of course) thinking this song was on the f*cking soundtrack and it wasNOT. I was sooooooh F*CKIN PISSED!!! It made me think "racist f*ckers!!!" But maybe they had a good reason not puttin the song on their.

[joibugx3]

@WillGdaFather Really? I have the soundtrack and it's on their

[Leonardotupapa]

@WillGdaFather the deluxe edition has while my guitar gently sleeps , and it's also a 2 disc edition, the other release is just 1 disc

[rensosx]

Harrison is my favorite beatle

[shizz0720]

@rensosx paul is mine but I respect your opinion... they were all magical together

[blondyboyzrok1]

@rensosx what? mcCartney!!!
