I WANT TO TELL YOU-BEATLES COVER

A.D.T. LEAD + HARMONY VOCALS.
The lyrics are, in Harrison's own words, "about the avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit." The frustration in the lyrics is reinforced by the song's dissonant atmosphere — a product of numerous elements, including the continuous piano chord in the background and the contrast between Harrison's modest lead vocal and Lennon and McCartney's descant harmonies.
The bridge reveals some of Harrison's thinking at the time, reducing his internal difficulties to conflicts within his being:
But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things
In his 1980 autobiography I Me Mine, Harrison suggested that, with hindsight, the second line should be reversed. "The mind is the thing that hops about telling us to do this and do that — when what we need is to lose (forget) the mind."
