All Those Years Ago (1981) - George Harrison

[HannahHypnotize96]

Haha, Thank You for making this video!(:

@MichaelRMcCoy I don't know if you know this, but George actually wrote this for John Lennon when he was killed. The song and the video are supposed to be about John Lennon. Further, this song actually features Paul McCartney on bass and Ringo on drums. They did it for John.

[daveed94]

@MichaelRMcCoy The song was written as a tribute to John after he was assassinated in 1980. Paul and Ringo played on it as well.

[1mwhit82]

So I assume most of the people who complain about John being shown in the video are also complaining about Ringo's song Never Without You showing WAYYY too much of George...Ignorance must make the world go round :(

[Noivedya]

@MichaelRMcCoy Hey, listen to the lyrics! It's a song about John, recorded after John's death. Yeeeesh! (Having said that, it's not the best-edited video I've ever seen. It might have been a rush job.)

[tgbrennan]

@MichaelRMcCoy It's George's tribute to John after he was murdered.

[silat13]

@MichaelRMcCoy because he wrote it about John..

[jadestar114]

I know this was a tribute to John but it says in the info the artist is John and to buy Working Class Hero on iTunes -_-"

[harmono]

@MichaelRMcCoy The song is all about John not all about George. George sang it inspired by John.

[ilsy74]

@MichaelRMcCoy This song was always a tribute to John Lennon... Just listen to the words!

[mousepumper]

Wonderful. Thank you!

[Antonella2205]

@MichaelRMcCoy That's because George wrote that song to John...

[simmons1969]

@MichaelRMcCoy this song was written for John Lennon shortly after he was killed. It's all in the lyrics. Great song!

[MichaelRMcCoy]

OK folks. I got it -- loud and clear. I was mistaken and ill-informed.

The song is a tribute to Lennon following his murder.

But the facts remain -- that John was not the 'peace and love' advocate he claimed to be. Besides his arrogance and self-importance that put me off, his treatment of his son Julian and Julian's mother was deplorable, as they languished in poverty for years -- all the while John and Yoko lived like royalty.

[DBMalone]

@MichaelRMcCoy You mean John Lennon was human and not perfect? Shocking...

[MichaelRMcCoy]

@DBMalone Blatant and prolonged hypocricy is one of the least attractive human failings.

[DBMalone]

@MichaelRMcCoy So is being judgmental...

[MichaelRMcCoy]

@DBMalone Judgement, discernment and assessment are critical in the human experience.

Blind idol-atry nearly always comes from myriad half-truths and is often vicariousness exemplified.

[SmashKai]

@MichaelRMcCoy Everybody does things they're not proud of, seriously. and DBMalone is right, he was only human just like the rest of us.

[Salguine]

@MichaelRMcCoy It was Harrison's tribute song to Lennon in the wake of his murder.

[dexredland]

@MichaelRMcCoy hi there...that's because George wrote this song for and about his friend John Lennon. ..furthers my appreciation for George...

[ahmedz912]

@MichaelRMcCoy thats beacause george wrote this for john after his death, so its a tribute song and the video is bound to have images of him

[papito1421]

@MichaelRMcCoyThis is George's farewell to his friend John Lennon after he was assassinated in December of 1980. That is why you see all images from Lennon on the song.

[JoanVidalAsperger]

John Lennon se veia mas hermoso, viril y atletico de pequeño que de mozo o mayor jovencito.

[JakeJacquol]

@MichaelRMcCoy ... This was a song written by George which originally had different lyrics and was intended for Ringo to record. Ringo did record it but the range was too high and he didn't like the lyrics and after Lennon was shot dead, George changed the lyrics and recorded it to pay tribute to John.  Ringo and Paul played a part in recording this song.. Ringo's drum tracks and Paul's back up vocals. George did record a song about the Beatles- When we was Fab

[Leapingrabbit]

@MichaelRMcCoy The song was written as a tribute to Lennon.

[creat3d]

@MichaelRMcCoy The song was written about John Lennon so it kinda makes sense it would feature his image... no comment on Yoko though ;)

[willie1490]

@MichaelRMcCoy harrison wrote this song for john right before he was shot

[peacefulheart60]

@MichaelRMcCoy George wrote this song John was murdered. It is about George's feelings on the loss of a friend and memories from "all those years ago". The shot of Yoko at the end was a tribute to the woman John loved.

[TexasRocks7]

@MichaelRMcCoy It was made to honor John Lennon's death. George came out with this one...Elton John came out with Empty Garden Years later the remaining ones used a tape of a song he was working on and made it a "Beatles" tune

If you listen to the words...he's talking about John

[virtu812]

Bella canzone di George Harrison dedicata alla memoria di John Lennon

[jjlevito]

@MichaelRMcCoy Hello. This song was basically a hidden tribute to Mr. Lennon, that's why all the images of him were placed in this video.

[mikper7]

@MichaelRMcCoy It's a song ABOUT John Lennon. Are you an asshole or something? Good Lord.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

@mikper7 Lighten up. Take several deep breaths. I get it now. Several folks have helped me to see -- and without mindless name calling.

[njriley55]

@MichaelRMcCoy The song was written by George after John was killed in 1980!! The song is all about John, so of course the video reflects that!

[LuluHarrison22]

Nuevamente veo el video, y escucho lo bien que cantaba y tocaba la guitarra George, que lastima que casi no lo dejaron cantar... no es cuention de talento porque lo tenia!

[LuluHarrison22]

Que lindo john... que lastima que no disfrutamos su talento de solista y George el mejor guitarrista... el mejor Beatle, de hecho los cuatro fueron los que dieron con su talento ser el mejor grupo de todos los tiempos!

[vinceeverett2010]

@LuluHarrison22 Pues fijate que yo si los disfrute. Subi esta cancion porque me recuerda al principio de la decada de los 80's, cuando yo era un muchachito de 13 o 14 an~os, y aun a esa temprana edad siempre pude distinguir que los Beatles eran algo especial. No tengo los videos de los singles que Lennon saco como solista, pero los recuerdo muy bien tambien. Tengo fija en la memoria la noche que Lennon fue asesinado en 1981. Es una de esas cosas que se quedan en la mente por an~os y an~os.

[LuluHarrison22]

@vinceeverett2010 Corrígeme si estoy equivocada pero john murió en diciembre del 80, pero igual me alegro que tu si hayas disfrutado de su talento!

[vinceeverett2010]

@LuluHarrison22 Tienes toda la razon! Lennon fue asesinado en Diciembre del 80. Aparentemente todos los an~os se me estan echando encima y atrofiandome la memoria.... };-)

[txemata1]

Todos esos años atras, todos esos años dorados. Tristes matemáticas: 4-2=2. Hace años ya del rumor -el bulo- de que Paul murió en un accidente, y para ironías del destino, creo que Paul va a ser el último Beatle, aunque ojala que Ringo dure mucho, es mayor y tiene peor salud.
