George Harrison - While my guitar gently weeps antology

George Harrison originally performed the song with a solo acoustic guitar and an organ; a demo version, longer than the officially released version, can be heard
on the Anthology 3 album and in reworked form on the Love album. Eric Clapton, who was a good friend of George, played lead guitar
on the album version of the song with a Gibson Les Paul guitar. On The
Concert for Bangladesh, he performed it on a Gibson Super 400 hollowbody
guitar, and later acknowledged that a solid-body guitar would have been more
appropriate.


liryc:

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

@thegrinchl7 Harrison was one of the greatests musicians ever. This song is a masterpiece, it reminds me of times when values were important, Thats why i miss him. A great musician, a talented person who passed away very early.

@thegrinchl7 I thin you need an update:1 George Harrison died a cupple of years ago. 2 the considerable monthly Beatle royalties are going to Michael Jackson .who is also dead 

[TheYellowochre]

this song would go great over a montage of a guy trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. blowing off zombie heads with a shotgun and weeping and whatnot

Me encanta esta versión. Me emociona escuchar su voz acompañado sólo de la guitarra

@GustavoVillarBatera - George can have his 120-room exotic

mansion, his opulent Hawaiian mansion too! He can keep his

$200 million dollar race car collection, his movie studio and his

considerable monthly Beatle royalties. However, once the pig

indulges in his material gains...he forfeits the right to preach

against MATERIALISM. That is to say, he forfeits that right to

speak against materialsim with the world laughing at him.
