This is a music video I made for George Harrison's demo version of the song, "It Don't Come Easy". From Wikipedia, "Starr reportedly composed the song in 1970. Decades later, he admitted that the song's producer George Harrison "co-wrote" the song (as he did with other hits such as "Photograph.") But controversy still surrounds the assertion that Ringo really wrote the complex and mature song -- especially since demo tapes have surfaced by Harrison where Ringo is completely absent and the song is more or less in its final form."
This is the first time I've made a video that includes footage, but I still used pictures too (mostly at the beginning). Personally, I think I could have done a little better, but I kinda got lazy... I'll look forward to hearing feedback! Thank you, and enjoy!
Made with Windows Movie Maker.
Lyrics: (It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy) (It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues And you know it don't come easy Now you don't have to shout or leap about You can even take it easy Forget about the past and all your sorrow The future won't last It will soon be your tomorrow
I don't want much, I only want trust And you know it don't come easy And this love of mine keeps growing all the time And you know it don't come easy Open up your heart, let's come together Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better
(HARE KRISHNA)
It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues As you know it don't come easy You don't have to shout or leap about You can even take it easy Please remember peace is what we make it It's here within your reach, you are big enough to take it
I don't ask for much, I only want trust You know it don't come easy This love of mine is growing all the time And you know it don't come easy

The version of the song from Concert From Bangladesh is musically flawless. Ringo does flub the lyrics. It is cool to hear this, there are alternate takes of Lennon singing Get Back and McCartney singing I'm So Tired.
@DasGoldenBoy There's also an alternate take where Harrison sings Get Back. It's pretty awesome. and sometime, check out James Brown's cover of Harrison's "Something" It's.. it's pretty cool.
even the "official" ringo version has that george sound to it. they all they're own distinct sound. and the fact that the words hare krishna fit perfectly proves this was made for and by georgie wood. (<-- end of dig it from let it be "that was 'can you dig it' by georgie wood, and now we'd like to do hark the angels come")
After the "Ringo" LP came out in 1973 with all those smash singles, John sent a telegram to Ringo congratulating him and asking if it wasn't too much trouble could Ringo write him a #1 song! John had to wait until 1974's "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" to reach #1 as a solo artist.
BTW, Paul also helped Ringo after the breakup more so later in his career however.
@buffalobraves9 A couple of John's records were kept from reaching #1 by Beatles songs (Instant Kharma was one of them!)! He had the misfortune of coming up against some big records that made #1 and stayed there forever! I don't believe Ringo actually wrote any of his #1's (covers of songs like You're 16", etc). I think Paul only helped out when it was adventageous to Paul to do so--- unlike real friends John and George!
Instant Karma only made it to #3 in the US Billboard Chart, same as Imagine. They were the only Top Ten singles John had until WGYTTN in 1974. In the telegram John wrote to Ringo (which is on display at the RR HOF Annex in NYC BTW), John (tongue in cheek obviously) asks Ringo to write him a #1 song, his words not mine. Ringo co-wrote Photograph with George his first #1, You're 16 being the second.
On a side note, George was the first Beatle and the last Beatle to have #1 hits, 17 years apart
