  • wow,...Im a huge Beatles fan, and reading the lyrics to this song really understand how george felt about John. Its touching. RIP,...Thanks for posting

  • I love this song. It's a great "feel-better" song!

  • this song peaked on the billboard hot 100 chart here in the U.S. at the #2 position in mid-1981.

  • I prefer Paul's homage to John, "Here Today," more, but anything released by any Beatle, except Ringo (no offense, Ringo fans), is amazing to me.

  • Knowing this song was written for John from George. I cried. This song moved me ... And we've lost both John AND George... Rest In Peace guys. You are DEARLY missed, The world has truely lost two great men who changed the lives of many. They themselves may be gone, but their music, will be forever. <3

  • If John had met someone whose ethics were even 10% of Linda McCartney's...who know? Her loss was incalculable.

    Reverend Animal Right-aid

  • Don't forget the George Harrison song, "When We Was FAB" also done later as a Beatles tribute--On that tune, Ringo played drums and Jeff Lynne shared background vocals w/Paul, even though they didn't mention his name on the Cloud 9 album...Mikey

  • I cried Dx I miss John, and Georgie too. They left us too early. ):

  • John's murderer, 'the devils best friend', that he was.

    RIP, Johnny boy :)

  • thanks for posting! George is my favorite Beatle !

  • thanks for this

  • World was so good all those years agoo!!! <3

  • We really miss u both !!!!

  • I never realized what truly good people John and Yoko together were. I was too young when they were at their peak but after viewing a documentary about him and Yoko on PBS, I was certainly enlightened. RIP,John 1980-2011 and thanks for all that you did

  • this makes me cry for some reason..

  • john, you had control of our smiles and our tears...

  • What an amazing song :') 

  • I miss them both terribly.

    I'll admit to never really listening to the lyrics of this amazing song. Now I have read the words, and tears are streaming down my face.

  • When you know what this songs about, its even better

  • When you type John into GOOGLE the 1st result you get is John Lewis .... who says Google aren't on a payroll? .....

  • Both, George and John, are in the world of light now, free of lies and all we dispise. But I have not control of my tears.

  • george was awesome as was all the beatles so much music was lost the day lennon was killed very sad:(

  • I like to listen to this and Photograph by Ringo Starr back to back. Both are such sad songs performed by former Beatles and deserved to be played that way.

  • So paul and ringo made credit for this song?

  • George.. owns.. period. :)

  • I must say that that cheesy synthesized guitar is the only drawback of the song. If they had used a real guitar, this would be timeless.

  • I love the comment by 24 Yes he is hated!!!! However this is not the last Beatle song. Free As A Bird is.

  • @dac19642010

    Do not forget "Real Love"

  • killer one --sang along and I'm in tears.

  • very very sad---one never knows what we have until we lose it

  • It makes you wonder how many memories went through his head when he wrote this.

  • George & John Forever

    Gone But Never Forgotten

  • @BeatlesLuver441

    They're NOT gone.

    Just transfered into another sphere, they will be ALWAYS in our hearts.

  • This song still makes me cry :*)

  • JOHNNY!!! :(

  • Sitting here thinking about my best friend who died of cancer.

  • @WalkingMiracle54 respects

  • this song makes me laugh in a good way. i love it! Its like they wrote it to take a walk down memory lane, and instead of moping around about John, celebrating his memory.

    rest in peace John and George :)

  • RIP Lennon ..

  • what? is that really wat i hear? oh why yes a lil bit of get back in there >:D the bass i think not sure its easy to hear it in the intro :D

  • I love this song!!! It's sad but it remember us the time when the BEATLES were together!

    RIP John and George

  • Such a upbeat song but it really hits you hard.

    What made it even more emotional is that fact Paul was on backup vocals and Ringo was drumming along with George's singing.

    Rest in Peace John & George

  • it sounds like Old brown shoe in the beginning

  • Magnificent Mr. George Harrison song is a shame that this musician has died.

    This quartet were the best musicians in the history label, all your songs are great.

  • Magnificent Mr. George Harrison song is a shame that this musician has died.

  • One person doesn't have a heart.

    RIP, John Lennon

  • was it Eddie Vedder who said, "They did it it first, they did it best, and then they ended it."? There will never another band like them

  • Maravilloso homenaje a su "hermano mayor" John Lennon.No hablen de dios, el dice: To the truth when you said, all you need is love. y alguien mas ha escrito que el mejor amigo del diablo era Chapman.De poder viajar en el tiempo, no sería para ver a los beatles, seria para arrancarle los ojos a Chapman antes de que destruyese nuestro mundo¿Ha hecho Macrthney algo parecido? ¿Y a qué espera? Si George hubiese muerto antes,John le habría hecho algo parecido. Gracias George. Por siempre.

  • This great song (text and music and performance) is a good example of the Beatles' creative force: they created great new things that hadn't existed before. Though it happened "all those years ago", fortunately, they achievement keeps living, adding a value to our life. That makes the life and work of John Lennon, George Harrison (and, of course, of Paul and Ringo as well) a long lasting value.

  • This is one of those songs that gets under your skin. It is so upbeat in beat and melody and yet about one of the saddest events of the 20th century, the murder of John Lennon. So yes it does capture the upbeat message of the Beatles while talking of such a sad subject. Great Song!!!!

  • Well they're together now aren't they?...I sorely miss the pair!!!

  • Well they're together now aren't they?...I sorely miss the pair!!!

  • esta cancion es hermosa, no sabia como se llamaba la escuche en los ochentas y ahora que bueno que la encontre, que talentosos y john siempre luchando por la paz.

  • It would be great if Paul and Ringo took it amongst themselves to kill Mark David Chapman. Haha!

  • @awrangerfan24 id REALLY help them out with my life :D hahahahahaha

  • I don't care about Obama, I only care about the Beatles

  • the lyrics are moving but they just seem randomly arranged but in a good way, anyways I love this song.

  • La classe di Harriso,,,

  • sadly I think the song is pretty bad, but definately a great tribute to the old walrus. we miss ya man.

  • i consider this the last beatles song. all four of them are involved in some way

    vocals- george

    bass, vocals- paul

    drums- ringo

    subject- john

  • @kaneda317 What about Free As A Bird?

  • Comment removed

  • @MasterPeanut94 What about "Real Love"?

  • @TheBennyman23 Both were released at the same time, iirc. Also, Real Love had been in a different version in official releases before (see Imagine: John Lennon soundtrack and Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon), whereas Free As A Bird only existed as a bootleg.

  • @kaneda317 Free as a bird and Real love dude from 1994 and 1995.

  • @kaneda317 subject???

  • @nightcrawler511 yes. the reason why they are singing the song is john

  • @kaneda317 I agree

  • DEATH TO MARK DAVID CHAPMAN!! if paroled he said, "I would immediately try to find a job, and I really want to go from place to place, at least in the state, church to church, and tell people what happened to me and point them the way to Christ." If he ever gets out, which he wont, he is going to hopefully be assassinated by someone.. he is now 56 years old..

  • @TBod108 Hes having trouble surviving in jail, if he was let on parole there is a 200% chance out of 100 that he will be killed.

  • I remember this song being on the radio in the summer of 1981. Great tune by the quiet Beatle.

  • George Harrison was amazing. Why he had to smoke so much?

  • @gillberry12 George wasn't stabbed...he died from Lung Cancer.. :'(

    But whatever I get what you mean. I wish they were still alive <333

  • @Beatlemania196 what are you talking about? george was stabbed multiple times in his chest and had a collapsed lung, but survived.. shortly after he died of lung cancer...

  • @TBod108 Oh ok. I didn't know :(

  • The day before my best friend's funeral I played this song as I drove past the gym where he and I met 28 years earlier.

  • Zero dislikes! Shows you just how many people still love the Beatles and all of their members. I love all of the songs dedicated to Lennon and Harrison. They won't be remembered, because people never forgot.

  • I have to comment here too... It's the World's loss. Without John and George our place here is a little sadder and yet, I celebrate their music daily. Thanks Guys for being a part of my life, my kids lives and the lives of others. You are truly missed!

  • My oldest sister whose birthday would have been today. This is for her and all she taught me in her 46 years! This song immediately makes me think of her, she was something very special... "I send out a prayer to you."

  • Happy Birthday, we miss you ♥

  • This song reminds me of my friend Lori....May God rest your soul. She was "different" but that is what made her unique.

    You were the one...who imagined it all....All Those Years Ago.

  • Happy Birthday, George Harrison!

  • Happy Birthday you beautiful man. ♥

  • one of the best songs of george ,,,,,great song

  • one of the best songs of george ,,,,,great sond

  • Harrison certainly sang the right things about his late bandmate. How much he meant them might be a different matter. This is a guy who published a limited-edition autobiography(I ME MINE)which incredibly failed to mention John even once! Its been well-documented that Lennon was a big brother figure to George in the band's early days. But he couldn't find a way to acknowledge that fact.

  • The only video that I have watched without any dislikes. Awesome.

  • Greorge's tribute to John.

    Really sad to think about it.

    RIP George Harrison and John Lennon

  • I Hear like a Church Sound at the back don't you? HaHa

    Long Live John and George

  • R I P George, you live forever through your music.

  • While I was never a huge fan of the beatles, there are many songs I enjoy listening to. All four of them were musical geniuses. I also alot of the after Beatles stuff they each did.  I still remember about hearing of John's shooting death. I was a kid at the time 7 or 8 years old. This is by far my favorite George Harrison song.

  • I miss them too !! Great Upload.

    Thank you for posting.

  • Mark David Chapman.......have you heard this song? It's basically saying: Everybody hates you.

  • @awrangerfan24 Mark who? Oh, I'm sorry, I hate him so much that I refuse to address that man by name, because in a way, that's giving him the attention he wants, because in my eyes, negative attention is still attention. I think as a form of his final punishment, when he dies, they bury him in a grave with no name on it, so people will forget it. That's what he deserves: To be forgotten.

  • @EHASSEL001 It could of been about Jesus but George Harrison said that it was about John Lennon

  • @EHASSEL001 It could of been about jesus but George Harrison said that it was about John Lennon

  • god is love.....!.......

  • as long you believe in something divine, it's fine

  • Beautiful song... just grips you with a hint of nostalgia! Well done, George. RIP John.

  • this song is great! i really like that it even sounds like the same style as a song John would write, slightly similar to "instant Karma" if i do say so myself.

  • Listen carefully--do you hear any evidence the song could be about Jesus Christ. I definitely do. People will say NO! it;s about John Lennon--sure it is. It also points to the fact that 2000 or so years ago when Jesus was a preteen, he too had the same problem. He was treated like a dog. He was ignored. And he was executed. The parallels here are eerie.

  • @EHASSEL001 that's a very god observation but the line "They've forgotten all about God" Jesus always had God in his mind even after his crusifiction.

  • @EHASSEL001 but George wasn't a christian :(

  • @EHASSEL001 umm no one gives a fuck about faggot christ aka the jew that died on a stick 

  • @EHASSEL001 if you notice he also says but you led the way to the truth when you said all you need is love. john always said that and john was all about peace and love. all you need is love is also a beatles song that was sung by john sooo yeah i think its about john. you make a good point that it could be about jesus though...

  • what would make this song perfect is John Lennon being one of the singers. RIP John W. Lennon

  • Someone invent a time machine so I can live when the Beatles were still together with Paul, John, George and Ringo!

  • @flurry345 They did --it's called Limewire Pirate Edition- 45 songs I have---- and when I'm in the mood it takes me back to my teenage years.Those were the days. I lost all my "albums" in a fire a few years ago so this is like a gift :)

  • This song has some kind of symbolic feeling i thing this from "when you say all you need is love" a song sang by John, "Devil's best friend" they think is Yoko, "you were the one who IMAGINEd it all" a song made and sung by John and also "They've forgotten all about God" John mad ea remark that "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus" and also "You said it all Though not many had ears" John was mare of a peace protester throughout the late 60's, 70s and 80s. There is more they say but njo room

  • @liberator235

    Actually, the Devil's best friend is referring to the man who murdered John Lennon. The former Beatles decided to never call him by name to avoid giving him any kind of fame.

  • @RockingRoses oh i said that because most people think Yoko did it. Thank You for the notice

  • @liberator235 yeah you hit a lot of points there. i also think that when he says "m talking about giving/ they dont act with much honesty" i think he means his concert for bangladesh where the proceeds never made it to the cause. he did that while john was out preaching "all you need is love". what a beautiful poignant tribute

  • Comment removed

  • This is almost a "beatles" (When all the former beatles made a song together) moment without John Lennon

  • great song but so sad

  • Great song by the underated beatle ,.. alot of his songs got overlooked due to paul and john being the main writters of their music but gee george was good , im sure like a thousand other head lining bands would have loved him to be their writter...

  • Granted, i love the song and Its point, however its so unlike Harrison. i mean its so awkward as far as the lyrical structure and it is clear that there was an original layric set and that this was redone later lol. (which it was)

  • george really was soo talented, i dont think he get as much recognition as he should, and john was great as well. and of course paul. and ringo. but seriously, george is amazing and i wish more people would notice him. RIP george, you remain my favorite musician today. RIP john u were such an influential person

  • Happy birthday John and God bless you George! xxx

  • Happy #70, Johnny Boy. You'll always be in my heart. Rebel genius

  • December 8 of 1980, at 10:50 someone killed John Lennon. The man who shot Lennon was "the devil`s best friend,someone who offended it all":Mark David Chapman

  • yes conestas good video tanhk you for you video

  • Beatiful song, no other words to describe it.

  • This Video is so well done. Thank you for doing it and posting. Thank you John. RIP John and George. I pray you made Gods cut..

  • Comment removed

  • @Link71596 wat do u mean, the line that goes, "He's the only reason we exist"? of course God's the only reason we exist, otherwise how on earth would we be here....... If u dont think He exists, well, i sort of feel sorry for u...

  • Comment removed

  • @PauIsAlive sorry! i missheard the lyrics he is write God is the only reason they exist i thought he said they all forgot about god and that is why we exist i understand sorry for what i said i Believe in God 100%

  • @Link71596 thats ok, i thought u might have made a mistake, its alright. =)

  • thanks for making this video. This song is amazing.

  • George started writing this song before John had passed...

  • @brittany2kira Yeah, and he intended Ringo to sing it, but Ringo said it was too high. Then when John passed, he removed Ringo's vocals, kept his drum part, and reworded it. Beautiful song. R.I.P. John and George. :(

  • omg! I LOVE IT It made me cry!!

  • WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU JOHN AND GEORGE...george, your kindness and heart-love and music will always be in our hearts

    john, your peace requests, your love, and music and humorous times will still be in our hearts and minds.

    AT LEAST YOUR TOGETHER AGAIN NOW...

  • I am always looking up to you, George

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It's a sad song, but there's an "up-beat" so it makes you think of the good times John and George/ John and the rest of The Beatles had!

  • Comment removed
