Isn't it a Pity, George Harrison

[ReggieMental]

By the way...this is Ringo on drums...amazing.

[drkam6]

A masterpiece. Truth-telling lyrics. The long ending reminds me of Hey Jude.

[78logistics]

In memory of George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001). Ten years ago today. It is a pity!

[Singflatly]

5 people have thumbs down'd this song. It's fine, I suppose. But I can only weep for them. This is beautiful music and anyone who disagrees is sadly missing out. Notice I didn't use vulgar language or call for them to be persecusted? Just sayin'. Amen. :)

[boxofpaperclips9]

Isn't it a pity that Bieber has to mentioned in practically every music video on youtube...

[danmatty1]

Greetings George. Say hello to John. The music must be so beautiful.

[redstone1963]

Absolutely stunning in it's honesty.Simply a masterpiece....

[Rigelcentauri58]

Yes dear George, it IS a pity.

You are a beautiful Entity anyway.

[theone456]

@ChemicalKid009

search harder, good music is still being made, try a band called the fleet foxes

[cribpointcritter]

The production on this is astounding, it opens so simply then these astounding and wonderful vistas of sound come on and wash over you like the crashing of the surf on the beach................ A fantastic song and album.

[911lennon]

George Super



[911lennon]

Georg, Super

[dogluver2398]

How can anyone hate this song? How can anyone hate Harrison? Four people should be redirected to the crap music page while people who appreciate George can enjoy this song

[supermassive123]

Yes, it is a pity... ;(

[BexInSeattle]

isn't it a pity that the top comment spelled 'pity' wrong?

[prober45]

isn't it a pity, 4 people out there without brains found this song?

[Beanabear122]

@xxTitanicRocksxx Probally will because i'm geting sick of all this fucking hate on youtube The Beatles vs. bieber. I'ts stupid and annoying

[greenbankFUN]

This album is of the most sincerest, honest, purest piece of confessional songwriting ever written, up there with any post-beatles stuff. He sounds worn out, its a true reflection of the early 70s and how they were a hangover from all that was good and bad of the 60s... R.I.P George from a fellow wavertree lad, you were born only 300 yards from my house.

[Hitacho25]

Isn't it a pity that 4 people don't like this song?

[fijoy79]

A Beautiful man with a beautiful soul who made beautiful music :o)

[vividDC]

The Beatles were a force of Nature. They showed us that with enough love, you can do just about anything. There are hidden messages and meanings in many of their songs. To find out what they are, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read the section about The Beatles.

[XTIMExTOxRISEX]

It makes me sick to the pit of my soul that people are actually trying to compare Justin Beiber to THE BEATLES. O__O

[fabiamcho]

sounds like the scientist!

[Drenwickification]

How on earth did this not make it onto the white album??

[sebtieman]

A little younger ,a little more prudent,a fan from the word go,I was all messed up but George showed me a way

[intheband14]

isnt it a pity, that 4 people disliked this song???

[JozyandZeke]

Listen to this song with rainy mood .com

[jsmcguireIII]

Beware of sadness, it can hit you, it can hurt you.

Make you sore and what is more,

that is not what you are here for.

[rpm88able]

No soso, I hear some of it too. This is a gem.  A masterpiece. Can't get enough of it.

[beatlesfan4lyfe]

Yes, george it is indeed quite a pity of affairs

[KalashnikAlexey]

'm crying...George is dead...

[BloodShotNow]

isn't it a pitty this has 260k views? IF ALL BEATLES SONGS HAD A 500 million views the world would be so much more peaceful except for "Helter Skelter" lol

[Lefteris451]

@BloodShotNow you are so right bloodshotnow

[peachy223366]

this song needs to be 2 more minutes long. sometimes i need a little more George.

[sosodefgurl1]

I love this song sooo much. But am I the only one hearing those random noises in the background?

[victhoreau]

Beautiful indeed. But the sadness it evokes is immense.

GH did great songs at time. Songs that makes you wonder what life is all about.

It's not always clear.

Is it ?

[shnarpdedarpful]

@victhoreau the way you said this just puts a finger on his style of writing, there were leyers he made you, the listener, unravel and figure out for yourself. such a brilliant composer

[maxiludogs]

RIP George,the world is not as bright without you on it.

[alexmortland]

Jesus looked a lot like George Harrison in 1970.

[Kridane]

@alexmortland Yeah, he did.

[searcherboy]

@alexmortland Jesus probably looked more like Jimi Hendrix than George Harrison.

[THeMaskedBlogCritic]

4 people agree with Paul that George shouldn't play.

[BadLeaders]

@THeMaskedBlogCritic

No you bonehead, 4 people have genitals where their ears should be.

[THeMaskedBlogCritic]

@BadLeaders Oh. Ok, sorry lady.

[ChainManProductions]

This song was rejected from The White Album... Isn't that a pity.

[TheLifeInMe]

na na na na... hey jude..

[Perfidia4ever]

L'apparente monotonia strutturale dell'accompagnamento evolve nella bellezza degli archi e della struggente chitarra di George, il crescendo in realtà di tutta la canzone la rende straordinaria, una delle (tante) sue canzoni che non hanno avuto la gloria che meritava.George resta un artista al ceto per cento lontano da meri calcoli di interesse e sinceramente legato alla Musica che regala emozioni vere e propone idee e messaggi reali.God bless George Harrison.Hare.

[dagnil4]

George Harrison had a humanitarian nature , his concert for the Bangladesh stricken victims in71 showed he had a true heart for people.

[fervei92]

at round 0:46 he looks like jesus :)

[TheDazzer360]

George is the best in The Beatles, he was so underated as a singer, songwrighter and guitarist he was most defintly on a par with John and Paul in songwrighting terms! this song is my personal favorite of all time <3

R.I.P George you are very much missed

[PatrickFawley09]

this song shows the true colors of the world. We need to change. In the times of poverty and war, we need to trust each other and not worry about the money in our wallets. thumb up if u agree. Beatles forever "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"- John Lennon, 1968

[devo879]

@PatrickFawley09

Fear is the common motivating factor for most people now;love removes fear, but it is not easy.

[MontegoJoker14]

This is one of the greatest songs ever created

[sebtieman]

have'nt heard this for forty years.It was worth the wait.sometimes its nice to know that there is one soul on this earth that feels the way i do.thanx George

[MrSnowpatrolz]

How I met Your Mother <3

[HardDaysNight44]

George's b-day yesterday. Dhani must have been sad

[johnnycoyo]

@HardDaysNight44

or Happy remembering how much he loves his Dad :)

[HardDaysNight44]

@johnnycoyo Yeah , both

[seajayjoonyo]

Isn't it a pitty, that today's girls listen to Beiber instead of Beatles?

[ZtellaStar]

@seajayjoonyo I'm a girl, I'm 18, I don't listen to Bieber, I dislike him. I listen to George, John and just generally the Beatles.

[georgeharrisonlover5]

@seajayjoonyo not meee...justin beiber..gosh don't even get me started LOLLL :D

[Ecclipze]

@seajayjoonyo Pshh, not all. I can proudly say, I dont.

[Crimzoid21]

@Ecclipze good to see someone who likes real music :)

[starlost1957]

@seajayjoonyo No they don't, girls listen to hip-hop, rap, & alternative

[seajayjoonyo]

@starlost1957 Does it matter? That's not the point. The pity is that they're not listening to The Beatles/solo careers.

[alexyoooung]

@seajayjoonyo it explains a lot

[Treadsoftly14]

@seajayjoonyo yeah but the question is why? bad parenting? poor taste? terrible education? no soul? i honestly cannot stand my generation......im tired of celebrity obsessed culture, piss poor music, ignorance, addictions to phones, addictions to tv, eating too much, eating too little, fake body parts, fake personality, fake life.

[seajayjoonyo]

@Treadsoftly14 Lol, I know what you mean. I'm in your generation too. 16 years old :D

[QueenieG7]

@seajayjoonyo i'm 14 and i'm jealous of my mother. George's music is always so classic, moody and rather sad though he's a cheerful guy in my belief.

[seajayjoonyo]

@QueenieG7 Not all his music is moody though. His song All Those Years Ago and his cover of I've Got My Mind Set On You are upbeat.

[Treadsoftly14]

@seajayjoonyo little younger than me but its all the same

[arekayvee]

@seajayjoonyo Yesterday's Beatles are today's Beiber. Don't kid yourself. He's making movies, he's writing silly pop love songs, he's giving girls heart attacks. Now, give him some credit and hope in 10 years he's writing more like Strawberry Fields than I wanna hold your hand

[seajayjoonyo]

@arekayvee He's the fad of the decade, like those other fads I would name for you but can't remember. Because they're fads. Jus sayin. The Beatles started as a modest skiffle band and worked hard for fame. Bieber was discovered on Youtube and took the fast track to fame and obtained a staggering hater-to-fan ratio only topped by Rebecca Black. But they'll be forgotten. Do we remember any of the hated pop culture people of the sixties today?

[arekayvee]

@seajayjoonyo "Do we remember any of the hated pop culture people of the sixties today?"

The Beatles.

This was my point

[seajayjoonyo]

@arekayvee But the difference is that they had more fans vs haters. Plus it should be counted that they weren't mistaken for twelve year olds.

[arekayvee]

@seajayjoonyo Tons of people hated them from Please Please me to Let it Be. Way more people didn't like them when they were doing things you'd compare with Beiber. Twelve year olds, more like straw man.

[seajayjoonyo]

@arekayvee The Beatles have gone down in history as evolving music since they first started recording, using their unusual chords and lyrics. Beiber has been criticized downgrading today's music to a lower level. The Beatles' first single: Love Me Do, a number 1 hit an unusual title with unusual chords. Beiber's: Baby, a stereotypical modern pop song that's been and still is gathering staggering amounts of haters since it's recent release.

[arekayvee]

@seajayjoonyo Love Me Do was a stereotypical modern pop song at the time. How hard is this for you to get?

[seajayjoonyo]

@arekayvee It wasn't. It was a new style of pop song that because of The Beatles people started doing more of that style, then making it stereotypical. Music used to be more like Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard's classic rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues, both in the US and Liverpool in the UK. The Beatles covered their songs a lot, but The Beatles' and their styles were significantly different.

[arekayvee]

@seajayjoonyo Seriously. You could say all of that about Justin Beiber, if you adjusted the time. I'm finished, you aren't even trying to make a point. You're just saying the same things over and over

[seajayjoonyo]

@arekayvee As if you weren't. Long story short, Beiber will NEVER (yeah, I said never) be nearly as good as The Beatles. Never say never my @**

[elgranelgraf]

@arekayvee Okay, they started as a pop group. I acknowledge this. The difference is that, well, I prefer the Beatles' particular sound, their style of pop, to that of the modern day.

[arekayvee]

@elgranelgraf So do I.

[Beanabear122]

@seajayjoonyo SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOU ANNY THE FUCK OUT OF ME. DAMN. IF YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH GO FUCKING RANT SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE I'M FUCKING SICK OF IT.

FOR ONE HIS FUCKING NAME IS SPELLED BIEBER

AND TWO THAT WE CAN LISTEN TO JUSTIN AND THE FUCKING BEATLES AT ONCE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM. THE BEATLES AND JUSTIN BIEBER FANS CAN FUCKING LIKE THIS MUSIC AND BIEBERS MUSIC SO SHUT THE FUCK UP DAMN IT.

[seajayjoonyo]

@Beanabear122 Caps lock f* yeah

[ndun62]

@Beanabear122 no one ever hated the beatles, and how many people hate justin beiber?

[GermanOperaSinger]

Happy birthday to George Harrison, he was the greatest.

[cqsallie]

Happy Birthday, old friend....



[whiskersdog77]

Happy birthday and rest in peace fellow Pisces!!!

[glazeonglass]

I believe Ringo is drumming on this- also magnificent, perfect.

[1868James]

IT IS A PITY YOU'RE GONE GEORGE. ALL THINGS MUST PASS. JUST WISH YOU HADN'T. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[galya]

thare was not one bad bone in this man's body- one of the purest, most decent celebrities ever.

[frogsoblivious]

my favorite of all the favorites. too much love.

[sandyimoet]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!!

WE ALL MISS U :)

[brugglesby]

This shows how great John and Paul were because this man would have been the lead singer-songwriter in any other band.

[Perfidia4ever]

Forse un tantino dottrinale nel testo, sembra una catechesi da prete di parrocchia di paese anni 50. A parte gli scherzi George è autore sincero e quanto meno ha dimostrato una certa coerenza stilistica: non è poco.Può non piacere l'attaccamento al culto indù ma alla base di tutte le fedi non può che esserci Amore Universale di tutti gli uomini.La Musica qui è lenta, ipnotica, un fiume.

[TheBlueBandYTAccount]

Both Lennon and McCartney became puppets of the media... Always had to do duets and compose songs in genres of music they actually didn't really like to play.

Harisson didn't. He did what he wanted to do, and has always remained the same after the breakup of the Beatles. He stayed down to earth and became a wonderful singer, a great lyricist and a genius guitarplayer when he had his solo career. That's why he was and will alway be my favourite Beatle.

[ruthita418]

I like this song so much. Timeless.

[NaziJesus]

better than the beatles

[Peppershot1]

beautiful song forever

[thejonathanisback]

its a shaime that the greatest band in the world are down

[ipris]

elliott smith's cover of the song is lovely as well.

[josnapolis]

wow one of george"s best songs

[keldomslakras]

por qué me hace llorar?... por qué?...

[OurBoyJake]

George Harisson just became my favourite Beatle

[TSAllenBRP]

Rest In Peace George

[Dman31619]

this is one of my favourites



[murfxyz]

how good is this song........

[TheIIZEEII]

RIP

[pinotostado]

dejo un hermoso legado musical,siempre lo admirare

[Perfidia4ever]

Canzone "filosofica", sicuramente didattica sul modus vivendi del genere umano.Ma la tenerezza delle parole e la sensibilità di George la rendono unica.La successione degli accordi e all'omprovviso il comparire degli archi e poi la sua chitarra a ricamare lacrime mom possono che far venire il magone e il rimpianto di aver perso davvero una superstar nel firmamento de Rock.

[bebinonins]

@Perfidia4ever Come posso non darti ragione...

Questa canzone rappresenta ciò che George era nei Beatles, nascosto dai miti di John e Paul e non a caso è proprio di loro che parla. La sua presa di coscienza, lo spiccare il volo sia umanamente che artisticamente...

Ci manchi George.

[Outerzoom]

Three people are a pity.

[blartefax]

thanks for the lyrics :)

[SuperPooky4]

i love this song ...brilliant and absolute in every way ,,,

[earthpages]

Nice song and memories...

[bashfulbrother]

Out of all the Beatles, he was the only one that used his fame to grow spiritually. Lennon did a lot on personal introspection, McCartney was all about fame and fortune, Ringo was about being himself no matter what.

[turtelyturtleclub]

@bashfulbrother  good ole ringo

[bashfulbrother]

@turtelyturtleclub He is in his 70's and I still laugh every time I see him. Sad that we are losing these men, but "All things must pass."

[MrEmeralddog]

I am old now? so I know something; anything? I was 14 when the Beatles came to the USA. They are 10 years older than me. What is old - compared to? If you understand the music then there is no old. This song - "Isn't it a Pity" is not only beautiful musically but also the lyrics are pure poetry. So That's all I have to day about that. It is one of the best statements of the decade.

[TheMidnightwolf95]

only 214,867 views? why? :(

[finalfantasybrawl]

@ :50 Straightest, whitest teeth i've ever seen, ironically on a British person.

[justdippee]

@finalfantasybrawl i love this picture of george, his teeth are beautiful(:

[gdosic]

Emerging from the shadows of John and Paul with evocative songs, George showed he was their equal. Whether or not they knew how brilliant he was, one thing is sure: with a little help from his friends, he recorded a life-affirming masterpiece.

[aershamus]

@gdosic Amen to that! this truly was an unequaled classic! Nice call-

[sas147741]

Oh what a pity... ::(

[lilleo1968]

I really miss this man right about now. Another Wilbury album would have been wonderful.

[lilleo1968]

I really miss artist. I would have loved to see another Wilbury Album right about now.

[ukhio]

But I think is too long  hum :/ I must be wrong

[ukhio]

Good song for hearts

[dangerouslysane]

The beauty of his work never fails to astonish me, even 40 years later.

[brugglesby]

This man was in the greatest band ever. Only three other guys can say that.

[evildemonlama]

It really is a pity, I wish people and the world in general was much kinder.

[1962drob]

Great B side to "My Sweet Lord". This song is one of my favorites from George Harrison. He had a great voice and was one hell of a guitar player. 3 people don't know good music. RIP George.

[redletter2008]

@1962drob Ditto! This song and What Is Life are my favorite George solo songs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps/Something my fave Harrison-penned Beatle songs. It still blows me away to think that the Beatles rejected this song. George was so right when he claimed that John/Paul were not judging his songs on their merits, but onlhy providing him a token showcase for his music (NOT to exceed his approved allotment of songs per LP). They had so many great songs that each LP could have had 50 songs.

[Tammihotlips]

Forever a Master for what he believed in

I miss U still, 9 yrs just seems like yesterday to me.

Love you Georgie RIP.

[1961slam]

Man, when it was new and I was 10 it shredded me to tear's. It still does it. 

[rasputinslovechild1]

This just may be the best song ever.

[artboy55]

for the thousendth time "wow"!

[senorbowling]

Isn't it a titty

Now, isn't it a shame

How we break each other's hearts

And cause each other pain

How we take each other's love

Without thinking anymore

Forgetting to give back

Isn't it a titty

[bze2nlz4]

@senorbowling Real mature...what, are you like 12?

[bplabs]

George is great; phil sucks. result: disappointment

[stevenjackson1958]

George Harrison's masterpiece, rest in peace George, 9 years ago today.

[MontegoJoker14]

George Harrison Rest In Peace

[bizcuit5756]

he died 9 years ago today. time flies...

[CutePoison92]

I love this song. I love George.. miss you..

[limonali]

missing George today ... 9 years ago he went away...

[AdamsApple1963]

@limonali Missing him, too.

[THLReaper]

3 guys dont feel pity

[emymummy]

i loveeeeeeeee all four of the beatles but i must admit that geroge is my fav love his music so heartfelt. bless u george

[clovisdepaula1]

May Sir McCartney forgive us all... But, this was The Man !! George´s tallent was hidden behind Paul´s hungry for fame and glory. However, just listen to the immortal sound of the best one of Fab Four !!!

[geo386]

It is a pity I am so afraid I knew what true love was and it is not with me. I am ever remorseful for the mistakes I have made with Nickie. I have no idea when or where my love will fill me as it once did. This song always makes me feel a bit sad, yes it is a pity, what a beautiful song and what a fool I was and I still am.

[wegottajumper3333]

I told George's older sister, Louise, he was by far my favorite Beatle. She agreed.

[blackdenali77]

this song was Hey jude...and Paul took it and wrote Hey Jude...George is the Best...paul is a thief....

[sentechi]

@blackdenali77 thats completle rubbish you scum

[shaneh1983]

great song

[wonderfulvoices]

How we take each other's love.....yes he should know that, Eric Clapton came to him one day and said: Can I marry your wife. Patty Boyd.

When I heard that I threw all the Clapton music and DVDs out into the bin

ONLINELONDON on YouTube

ed

[GarrettTheCanadian]

@wonderfulvoices I hope you know that Eric Clapton and George Harrison were best friends. And when Patty Boyd married Clapton, George and Eric joked that they were "Husbands-in-Law" :P

They remained great friends, andy George ended up marrying someone eles who loved just as much/even more. Dont hate ony Clapton, I personally dont think Geogre wouldve liked that ;P

This song was about the Break-up of the Beatles and how Lennon & McCartney were bashing eachother in songs. :(

[EricDymond]

@GarrettTheCanadian

In a way, George transcended both their brilliance with simple humanity.

[69MC97gc]

@GarrettTheCanadian I dunno how to hearb this...Thank You..I wish i had but no-George and WahWah 

[1982pencil]

@GarrettTheCanadian Agreed. That whole thing was their own business .. no need to react to Clapton based on something that isn't any of our business.

Listening to any of the songs on this album (or really any George solo material) always manages to center me. So great.

[69MC97gc]

@GarrettTheCanadian This song is about George and Eric.The song about George and Paul is called "Wah Wah".George and Eric were always friends..Took some time for George and Paul to be Friends again.But it happened,when Paul went to see George,and Paul brought a couple of ukuleles,,,I dunno why,but they played together..and became friends again.It was more difficult with John...Paul once went to Dakota.....with guitars.And John said he was not interersted-

[melisaalto]

@GarrettTheCanadian

moreover when Clapton told to Goerges his love for Patt, Goerges told him you can have her, and I'll have your girlfriend.

[guttersnipephil]

3 people have no taste in good music!

[gracey633]

@guttersnipephil Oooooh, good one!

[guttersnipephil]

@gracey633 its true :)

[deanculvert]

The Beatles NEVER would have released this song. Wouldn't have given it a thought. Such a wonderful song. Not blaming the Beatles, per se. I'll attribute it to the producers.

[HardcorePartyMonster]

George Harrison is an excellent man, he always will be! From his guitar skills to being an amazing song writer

[sjauleken]

best beatle!!! george is highly underestimated!!!!
