@HumbleAnthem @PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison Great concert with so many rock legends! At the 7 second mark of this video is George’s son Dhani.
@PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison So good…love listening to that album.
@PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison Pure brilliance I listen to that from time to time so I don’t ever get tired of it. Next bast was “Something”. I was thinking about both on my way back from a meeting this evening actually.
@PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison I must’ve watched CFG a hundred times at least, wearing my DVD out almost. It may be time to purchase a new copy… my favourite bit is Something… in the way she moves!
@PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison The day Prince gave a master class in guitar and blew our collective minds Thank you for this!
@PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison How I spent my childhood years trying to play those riffs ❤️
I feel this way, I resemble this song too much. All I can say is that I yearn for love more that anything and yet I always feel I'm never given a fair chance. Always feels like a game within a game sort of thing. I posted my thoughts on George earlier to his account. Everything I've said and felt is true, I am John Lennon, I believe in my soul and nature. But I feel like no one without love. It means more to me than anything to have a wife, a woman I can love and confide it and share my life with. I don't need or want anything beyond that. I wish I could return and connect with my past, but I wish for a love, I wish for a wife, I'm not successful in life or complete without love.
@PaulMcCartney @ringostarrmusic @GeorgeHarrison You Paul is not Paul, he's Billy!
![Origins of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', "The Eastern concept is that whatever happens is all meant to be ... every little item that's going down has a purpose. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was a simple study based on that theory ... I picked up a book at random, opened it, saw "gently weeps", then laid the book down again and started the song." Says the legendary George Harrison about the song. Harrison wrote "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" after his return from India, where the Beatles had been studying Transcendental Meditation under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi during the spring of 1968. The visit had allowed Harrison to re-engage with the guitar as his primary instrument, after focusing on the Indian sitar for the previous two years, and also marked the start of a prolific period for him as a songwriter. Inspiration for the song came to him when he was visiting his parents in Warrington, Cheshire, and he began reading the I Ching, or "The Book of Changes". As Harrison put it, "[the book] seemed to me to be based on the Eastern concept that everything is relative to everything else, as opposed to the Western view that things are merely coincidental." Embracing this idea of relativism, he committed to writing a song based on the first words he saw upon opening a book, which happened to be "gently weeps". Harrison continued to work on the lyrics after this initial writing session. During a ride from Surrey into London, Harrison asked Clapton to play guitar on the track. Clapton, who recognised Harrison's talent as a songwriter, and considered that his abilities had long been held back by Lennon and McCartney, was nevertheless reluctant to participate; he later recalled that his initial response was: "I can't do that. Nobody ever plays on Beatles records." Harrison convinced him, and Clapton's lead guitar part, played on Harrison's Gibson Les Paul electric guitar "Lucy" (a recent gift from Clapton), was overdubbed that evening. Recalling the session in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton says that, while Lennon and McCartney were "fairly non-committal", he thought the track "sounded fantastic", adding: "I knew George was happy, because he listened to it over and over in the control room."
