The Light That Has Lighted The World - George Harrison

[CLJMusic]

Great song and very inspirational :)

[CanalAndersonMendes]

cara essa música é muito linda

[voteformylogo]

Anyone else hear this in the Harrison documentary and google the lyrics? That one line "It's funny how people just won't accept change" hit me hard and I had to hear the whole thing.

[adric137]

a good song

[MetrazolElectricity]

Don't get lost in the power of george's personality... listen to the song as if it were in a vacuum. it's more amazing that way.

[Herniuspictures]

Just as important as Lennon's Imagine!

[ravello99]

The instrumental piece in the middle of this song (1:10 - 2:12) is just PERFECT. It is so melancholy and purposeful - taking it's own sweet time as it moves from Nicky's piano solo into George's slide guitar solo. Yet another example of George's brilliance.

[nansir]

Jesus, Krishna, Allah... etc. doesn't matter, they are all one and the same as are we. The world is awakening please research the Venus Project and watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward 2011. We can create something better than this world. Peace.

[Herniuspictures]

@nansir ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.

[TheAxis456]

[archie977]

[TheBronxrep]

0 Dislikes. That really makes me happy. <3

[3DDoor]

Thanks very much for this upload! I guess it's one of the most beautiful 'light'-songs in the world. Don't we all need to see that light, especially when there are many sad things around us happening? Thank you George for keeping the light alive with your songs.

[FunkyLemonadeInc]

George, you rock so hard. Lmfao, I was recently introduced to your music when I was first become Krishna conscious and now I'm back on my path to Vrindavan even at my age of 16 with my spiritual growth excelling at an unbelievable rate... I still listen to you every day and all weekends with my same spiritual friends who introduced me to your music; one "retired" monk, one spiritual healer, my parents, and a few other close friends. My life has been flipped upside down. In a good way. Thanks :)

[Perfidia4ever]

E se questa canzone apriva Let it be o Abbey Road? E' tipica di certe atmosfere ancora beatlsiane nell'essenza ma la dolce malia di Sir George non poteva essere capita all'epoca: nè dopo mi pare abbia riscontrato grandi consensi nel suo entourage.E resta una grande bella canzone.Grazie Sir George.

has burned itself out- i,m afraid!- but its always darkest just before the dawn

[tneg1]

Nicky Hopkins is a god

LOVE.

[Scribe66]

'I'm grateful to anyone that is happy or free, for giving me hope while looking to see, the light that has lighted the world.'

Always loved that part, Namaste George.

[RIchardEPfeifer]

For a Hindu he used a lot of Christian references in a lot of songs. Too bad he's not here to day.

[Scribe66]

He is probably where he needs to be.

[subg88]

There are not Christian references in his songs. Hinduism predates Christianity by nearly 2000 years, and much of Christian story telling evolved from Hinduism. I assume you think the "Light that has lighted the world" is the Christian reference, however, Hinduism long before Christianity portrayed symbolically victory of good over evil as the "light that has lighted the world" and celebrated Diwali, a significant holiday known as the festival of lights, since before Jesus "existed"

[acoronab]

@subg88 No wonder the bible claims that Jesus always was and always will be. Those bible writers knew competing religions well and tried to counteract

[subg88]

Further - "Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Dipavali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness (removes all obstacles and dispels all ignorance), awakening the individual to one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With the realization of the Atman comes universal compassion, love, and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). "

[subg88]

Obviously, this is quite contrary to Christian thought. The idea that the source of "light" is the awakening of the individual resulting from transendence of the material world, compared to Christianity's view that Jesus is the source of light, and that by accepting Jesus as savior, transendence will be provided after death, these are completely incompatible theories.

[StayWellYouKn0w]

What an excellent explanation! I may use it in my theological dialogs. May I?

[catgumart]

I've been a Beatles fan for 20 years (sine I was 12) and I've never heard this song till now. I think it is GREAT !

[Taffy064]

he left this disgusting greedy and corrupt world with a real hope that people can change things by looking to a more spiritual solution

[LittleHarrisonGirl]

that song is sooo beautiful!

it's so sad...but just hearing george singing makes me happy, I miss him so hard.

Georgie-boy, I love you...

[idle44]

@LittleHarrisonGirl we all miss him.

[moonman190]

Beautiful song, one of many great ones on the album. I think the album song, "Living in the..." falls in comparison to many of the other songs on the album, however.

[Griwhoolda]

Great album.  Great, heartfelt, honest, expressive singing.

[OneHeart57]

ATMP....Living in a Material World...great stuff!!!

[laurentlaurent65]

Thanks for this great video !!!!!!

[Lomedae]

My favourite song from my second-favourite George album. Sheer magic. Thanks for posting it :-)

[Landrew120880]

What's yer first, best George album? Can I guess ATMPass?? I ask myself what's the best George album and in all honesty, every one is a piece of art. Best?: Extra Texture. The one I would let go if forced at gunpoint?: Cloud 9. Why? Jeff Lynne's souless production sound. Esp the percussion.

[Lomedae]

ATMP is indeed my fave :-)

I do like Cloud 9, but then I've always been partial to ELO :-P

The one I could probably do without is Somewhere in england.

[misterfabdu93]

This song is my favourite of "Living In The Material World". It's so wonderful and George was got a beautiful voice. I'm loving it!!

[barrildeesperanca]

Well, what to say after listening to this? Maybe a simple THANKS, Mr.Harrison will do.

Gee, I wish I was there right in front of him listening to this. Lucky the ones who had the chance. Jeff Lynne, I love you

[123ThisIsMe]

"The light that lighted the world" ...

The light that lighted me - going back to my young years - was George. He inspired me in so many ways. And, even though I eventually came to have different views about the 'deeper meaning' of life, etc., George will always be in my heart, and of who (and where) I am today.

[Beatlesrfab]

This song is how I remember 1973 . It was soo good,

[lumbago12]

Me too. At the age of 13 I used to rush home from school during the lunch break just to put my Beatles/John/Paul/George/Ringo stuff on...OK, so my mates were into Slade and T Rex, so I got a bit of kudos by being the 'Battling Tops', 'Hot Wheels' and 'Subbuteo' champ!

[walmarques]

This song was the best song created by George.

I put as video response "That Is All" which was claim by ACUT 07.

I hope you like it!

[jagatinho]

I like it, thanks.

[adrimaria1]

@walmarques I agree with you. Great song.

[markrink]

I believe that George's solo stuff blows John's solo out of the water

[stevecherm]

im a big beatles fan. i think your a bit over the top. no offence

[beatles101462]

the most spiritual of the beatles...sadly over shadowed by the brilliance of john and paul ..but georges songs take a back seat to none!!!...the quiet beatle said alot when he did speak or sing always a postive message!!!. rip george and john the world misses ya .the beatles are the best and no one can touch em ..beatle fans no what i mean , do we still love the fab four ...yeah yeah yeah !!

[bunchie1966]

Have to agree. While some critics didn't like this album, I thought it was excellent. This particular song is beautiful.

[rockedbr]

George!que nosso Deus lhe tenha em bom lugar.

toque para os anjos do Senhor como tocou para nós.

[ACUTS07]

Please post.... THAT IS ALL from this same album, one of his most beautiful love songs.

[jagatinho]

Good idea. I'm very busy at the moment. But I plan to upload THAT IS ALL in the future.

[WarlordFeyd]

Amen Jaga tyvm for this video-I also favorited it! 5/5 (Might I suggest you do a few songs from his "Cloud Nine" album as well?  It has good arrangements and some great guitar licks in it...)

[jagatinho]

Perhaps I will:)

Although I think most of songs from the Cloud 9 album are already on you tube.

[WarlordFeyd]

You're correct jaga-my bad...but this is still a rare song by George that hasn't been on the radio in quite awhile so ty again!

[jagatinho]

Yes, I hasn't been on you tube as well. That is, until I posted it:)

Thanks for commenting.

[Dill70]

Thank you

[bobobolas]

im in love with that beatle.

[DeusXLM]

The Passion of George!!

[petermans95]
