I’ve got to say I love all the songs in the All Things Must Pass album now, even with Phil’s arrangement. I’ve also heard George’s version for Got My Mind Set on You, I barely even recognised his voice.

“All Things Must Pass “. About a week ago I listened to it 5 times in a row and at the 5th time I still had goosebumps. I just love that song.
I’ve got quite a sad fact about myself about ATMP (song) I can’t listen to it without crying…. Same as Paul’s song Little Willow

Offline ^^ I’m the same. I bought both songs on iTunes because of how simply beautiful they are, and I really wish I hadn’t now as every time I put my iPod on shuffle and they come on, I just brake down. But ‘LW’, though, it’s not really because of Maureen. I just think of loads of sad situations that that song can apply to, even though I try not to.

Offline Same with LW. When I heard it the first time I just thought ”Oh my god” and started crying a bit.
GMMSOY is one of the few covers I actually prefer over the original. Love the video too. Fun fact: Weird Al Yankovic made a parody of the called ”This song is just 6 words long” or something along those lines.

Offline ATMP is a profoundly beautiful song. Isn’t It A Pity also reduces me to tears every time. I especially love the Concert For George cover of that. Another song that is a real favourite of mine is Horse To Water, particularly for the lyrics – they say so much about human nature and our often misplaced priorities!

Offline For me Blow Away does it every time. I was 17 went it was released and it thrilled me to hear a George hit during “my time” and not from the past. To me it’s a happy cousin to Here Comes The Sun . I didn’t see it’s video til years later and found that it unfortunately may not help Blow Away’s stature as one of George’s best (it’s kind of dated IMO)…

Just bought the CD box – can’t wait to listen to it again; I bought the album(s) the day of release but (yes, I know I keep repeating myself) sold them all ages ago and just replacing now. It was one of my favourite albums all those years ago …
Oh, I also like the title track off Dark Horse more than I should.

Offline Dark Horse is a great George song, no shame in liking that too much. The album pretty much sucks tho.

Of course the George classics are indisputably great (“I Need You “, “Savoy Truffle “, “Here Comes The Sun “, “Something “, etc.).
But there’s something I like about “Sunshine Life for Me: Sail Away Raymond” (a song written by George for the first Ringo solo album, sung by Ringo) that tickles me the best.

Offline I’d say All Things Must Pass . Last year I was going through chemo and I was listening to that song and feeling pretty down. After I started listening to the last verse, I started to feel better. I realized that everything does pass and life does get better.

Offline Have you guys heard this song?
Naw, it’s not a hidden Beatles song. George recorded this with the band Remo Four during 1968, but it wasn’t released until the 1990s! It’s really cool in a mysterious way. The closest thing it reminds me of is Blue Jay Way , except it’s still really different! I’m a bad explainer, so I’ll just let the song explain itself 
Oh, and I also love his All Things Must Pass album, Got My Mind Set on You, and Crackerbox Palace (it’s such a quirky and fun song!)

Offline I don’t know if anybody has mentioned it, but my favorite George solo song is Blow Away, from his 1979 LP George Harrison . (Not a great video though)

What is the deal with that duck in the ‘Blow Away’ video?
Typical George I suppose. For this promo how about a gigantic plastic duck flapping it wings as i play guitar and then I go and sit in goose. And if that isnt enough to confuse the viewers how about i sit on top of a fake giant dog.

Offline Listening to “Best Of Dark Horse ” and decided to trawl George’s sub-forum so I found this. It will be difficult not to list every George solo song I know.
- My Sweet Lord (makes me think of idyllic summer days)
- Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (so heartfelt and lovely, and his vocal makes it even better)
- Blow Away (pure poetry and happiness and Harrisonic love)
- Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (paints everything I see in a more colourful light)
- When We Was Fab (you can’t not like it, there are too many Beatley things)
- Isn’t It A Pity (beautiful, you can really feel it– though I admit I like the demo better than the proper record)
- This Song (classic sly Harrison humour)
- Marwa Blues (I like instrumentals that make me trip out)
Mostly his bigger hits… I’ve only listened to compilations, not counting being brainwashed with “Brainwashed” as a Little Child … and that’s another story…
