´WOOOWWW, first electronic drum effect??? For me, this song is the most revolutionary one, in second place is "tomorrow never knows". In this one George show us his greatest and genius. John and Paul became a litlle afraid after this. Geroge, the best beatle.
i believe this embodies the full-rich feel of what psychedelics were about. happy rich sounds. Harrisson was quite the writer, think people just realizing how talented he was. miss you George...miss you Johnny...
That's John,"to your Mother" (dedication to Mother Earth) listen to the lyrics--cosmic consciousness deep deep stuff there by George. (the quiet one packs quite a wallop)
This song fills your ears and mind with pure Beatles, George asked John to help him in the studio he reluctantly agreed and what do we have? the most Beatle sound there is. So who really was the main Beatle John or Paul my vote John. The whole was greater than the sum of the parts tho.............
Enlightnement doesn't present a big picture. It present another picture, one you don't see, here an now, this instant. From there, you may or may not address "big pictures." It's not important since "big pictures" are created by the unenlightened. The enlightened are not, in fact, your slaves and may not care about your politics or life or personality.
My personal belief is John was enlightened. He saw the bigger picture born in the right time and right place. I do think though if He was we all can be enlightened. He was not perfect lol by far just like all of us. He just lived from the heart. there are many of us who are enlighten and dont know it,. lol Just living life
Should've been the anthem of 1967 if John and Paul had taken the talent this man had seriously. The song has all the hallmarks of something anthemic. It's the only song i can think of where Ringo Starr actually messes up, and McCartney plays out of tune. This song deserved so much better. (And Ringo would've given it most definitely. )
redletter2008 Thank you for answer. I even agree what you say about "Only a Northern Song". The middle part is lovely!. This song and "It´s All Too Much" are even b e t t e r than Pepper´s title song and "Lovely Rita". They are included just because of McCartney´s pyramidal status after "Yesterday".
Something happened with Harisson´s composing 1967. And then came the lovely "The Inner Light" in Marsh 1968. Suddenly he became a marvellous composer. It was sensationel.
@607sunrise: If it is - Michael "appropriated" it from George. George wrote this in 1967. ()Wistfully:) This coulda been a bonus track on "Yellow Submarine". Sigh.....
It´s All Too Much, is one of the best late Beatles songs!. But since it is written by George Harrison is not so well-known as it ought to be. If it was written by McCartney the whole world would have talked about it, and written about in all books. The song was written 1967 and could have been in the Sgt Peppar album instead of for example Lovely Rita and Getting Better.
@Johan93888 Agreed. It is completely worthy of Sgt. Pepper, MMT or release as a single (IMO). What a great psychedelic, yet accessible little rock song. I don't get the obscurity or lack of respect shown to the song by the Beatles. It's every bit as good as Lucy In the Skies or any of Paul's Sgt. Pepper tracks. It would have fit perfectly on Sgt. Pepper or MMT. But then I though Only A Northern Song was Pepper worthy too. I guess the Beatles (Paul and/or John at least) thought otherwise.
@litlgrey It was never officially released, it's only been bootlegged. The version in the movie Yellow Submarine the version on the soundtrack album are both edited, but not identically.
When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me And the more I go inside, the more there is to see Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be It's all too much for me to take The love that's shining all around here All the world's a birthday cake, So take a piece but not too much Set me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea
@Madferit71 The lyrics for the released version are easy to find. First verse is same First chorus is same Second verse is same Second chorus is same Third verse is same Third chorus: It's all too much for me to take There's plenty there for everybody The more you give, the more you get The more it is, and it's too much Fourth verse: Nice to have the time to take This opportunity Time for me to look at you And you to look at me Fourth chorus is same as third chorus of released version
"there's plenty there for everybody, the more you give the more you get, the more it is and it's too much. Nice to have the time to take this opp-or-tu-ni-teeee time for me to look at you and you to look at meeeeee" Wow beautiful. Seems like the most important verse of the song is cut out of the short version though--too bad.
@0652411 3 (McCartney/Lennon/Martin) against 1 is hardly a winning battle. It was said that Martin had to get Lennon & McCartney to stop laughing and wasting recording time while making this song. No wonder a song like Isn't It A Pity took around 4 years to finally make it to an album. George should've gotten out of this band when they sold "Don't Bother me" without asking him if he wanted to buy it back.
@shelley9000 Well, Lou Reed called the Beatles a "pop group". I wouldn't go that far, but I've always thought the songs on Sgt. Pepper were a little too middle of the road for me--not lyrically, of course, but the arrangements were tampered way down, no real guitar solos or anything like that. To illustrate my point, I would say that I am familiar with a lot of symphonic or MOR covers of these songs, but almost none that are heavy. They just aren't that type of songs.
I got the chance to meet George a week before he died he told me be gentle always and always forgive I will take these words and try to change the world with them
I wasn't there but the guitar sounds like mostly John to me...Not a dis of George here. He likely knew that John could pull it off & instructed him to this end. 'Makes me wonder if George was doing something more intricate here that's buried in the mix...(i must get a good copy of this & listen more intently.) Thanx for posting this!
@dragonflyshards George Harrison – vocals, lead guitar, Hammond organ John Lennon – lead guitar, harmony vocals Paul McCartney – bass, harmony vocals Ringo Starr – drums, tambourine
David Mason and three uncredited – trumpets Paul Harvey – bass clarinet
What's always been amazing to me is that this was recorded the same time as Sgt. Pepper, which was way too pop for me. This would've given Sgt. Pepper the balls it lacked.
@interestingfailure The funny thing is that Sgt. Pepper isn't pop at all. Do you still think that way now about it? I'd seriously like to know. To me, looking back and hearing songs, it doesn't matter what category they fall into anymore. Would love to hear your opinion.
@789TheBeatles Any ideas where? the longest version i found was on Frank O'Tool's show on WFMU archives. It's 8.15,about...didn't notice if it's stereo or mono-in this listening circumstance. I'd prefer stereo. (the Beatles also did,by sgt.pepper)
jumping in. have been a fan since 1972 when I was just walking, but could hear what my older brother was playing on his stereo. it wasn't until I was about 14 that I really started to explore the full extent of the Beatles. This song, like Rain, Hey Bulldog and Happiness is.. really struck home. I love a very diverse range of music, lots of current stuff, but their originality and brilliance really will live forever.
I always thought if there ever would've been a reunion that they would do it outdoors and open up with this song...and as loud and clear as they could,
The Fab Four meet the San Francisco sound....an existential hallucinogenic-inspired work of musical genius here. We still miss you George and John--and this f----d up world of ours needs you more than ever.
@pizzawars119 I feel for ya dude, my friends only like or have only heard 1 or 2 Beatles songs. I'm happy my girlfriend likes them, at least more than most of my friends.
This song was recorded in the 1st half of '67, when they were creating Sgt. Pepper's, as well as the Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane and All You Need is Love/Baby You're a Rich Man singles. Amongst all that, it was deemed to be not up to par and so was shelved. When the people making Yellow Submarine needed extra songs, it was dusted off & put in the movie.
In any other band, this would be their break-out hit. For the Beatles, not so much. However, it's aged incredibly well & still sounds fresh.
@ZMan1209 - Starkey was an important part of the Fabs, but my 1st post concerned its tune smiths, which - with even the best will in the world - he wasn`t 1 of.
@athrough0 I was a kid when the Beatles took over the music charts and All of the Beatles had their share of fans. No one was left out. It was worldwide and crossed generations.
@athrough0 I was a kid when the Beatles took over the music charts and All of the Beatles had their share of fans. No one was left out. It was worldwide and crossed generations. But I know what you mean. He was a gem.
This is such an under appreciated masterpiece basically because it was only on the "Yellow Submarine" album .... I remember my buddy Jimmy buying the YS album and hearing this for the first time ..... Mind blowing ....
The song is nothing to do with drugs. It's about transcendence- the journey inside which just gets deeper and more profound the further you let it go. Drugs may open the door but the block the way after that.
Beautiful, CHAOTIC, Pure hippie amazing production. The first 1:05 of this song is probably the most incredible intros in all of rock. The feedback, organ, followed by Ringos off beat drumroll buildup is inspiring! Thanks for posting! J'ai Guru George.
I would be hard pressed to acknowledge any Bowie influence on the Beatles. Get a clue. I love Bowie, but much was already done before he even started recording.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again here - after 1966 my favourite Beatles songwriter is George Harrison... Taxman, Something, While My Guitar... this song. Timeless classics. Much missed. Love, light and peace.
This song was recorded in May 1967, Bowie had only released a couple independent label singles at that point that sounded nothing like this - more like Velvet Underground.
@BeatleMathYT Just wanted to point out that if you check the background on this song you will find out that it was recorded before Hendrix did his first album
@lgsm64 Hendrix loved the Beatles... The Beatles did a lot of things, and Hendrix inspired on it made a lot of beautiful things... you know, from "I Feel Fine"'s feedback to Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child", the same with backwards solo in "Tomorrow Never Knows" and then "Are You Experienced?"

Beautiful, CHAOTIC, Pure hippie amazing production. The first 1:05 of this song is probably the most incredible intros in all of rock. The feedback, organ, followed by Ringos off beat drumroll buildup is inspiring! Thanks for posting! J'ai Guru George.

I would be hard pressed to acknowledge any Bowie influence on the Beatles. Get a clue. I love Bowie, but much was already done before he even started recording.

Harrison deserves more !!! people should know more about him. The beatles is not only John and McCartney

I've said it before, but I'll say it again here - after 1966 my favourite Beatles songwriter is George Harrison... Taxman, Something, While My Guitar... this song. Timeless classics. Much missed. Love, light and peace.

This song was recorded in May 1967, Bowie had only released a couple independent label singles at that point that sounded nothing like this - more like Velvet Underground.

@OuryLN Bowie didn't really start to have an influence until '69/'70. This song was recorded in early '67 but wasn't released until '69

THE MOST EPIC THING EVER!
Hendrix-like feedback with George's skill. The absolute best song ever. Too bad there's only one tab of it, and it's not very detailed.

@BeatleMathYT Just wanted to point out that if you check the background on this song you will find out that it was recorded before Hendrix did his first album
lgsm64 1 year ago
@lgsm64 Hendrix loved the Beatles... The Beatles did a lot of things, and Hendrix inspired on it made a lot of beautiful things... you know, from "I Feel Fine"'s feedback to Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child", the same with backwards solo in "Tomorrow Never Knows" and then "Are You Experienced?"
