what have we become

  

This is the George thread and this is what we do

Oh and don’t forget “love” he says “love” in an absolutely brilliant way!  I think the Rutles did it best; “loove.”

I loove George.

And how can we forget the eternal Febrooary?

We could not.

(I think if you’re British or otherwise of a non-rhotic accent then you’ll be more inclined to spell is ‘curr’ rather than ‘cuhh’, similar to how the Brits say ‘arse’ when they mean ‘AHHHHs’ — evocative spelling is my specialty )

  

Correct, I was just spelling it phonetically with an American accent.

@Beatlebug I’m listening to Let It Roll for the second(?) time and I can see why you love it so much

That one’s special. It isn’t exactly that it’s a favourite Harrisong… it seems to transcend being by George and is just this beautiful piece of atmosphere from another realm.

he has so many songs like that… *happy fangirl sigh*

I’m listening to Awaiting On You All now and I forgot how good it is! Phil Spector ain’t all bad

Yes, but most of them just reek of George and are dripping with his soul, you know? And I love them because of that, but Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp isn’t exactly as Harrisonic in an overt way, it’s much more subtle; it could have been a Pink Floyd song or something, I don’t know, and I love it because it’s so pure, it’s like a watercolour painting (no shade, Mr Kite! )

  

Fair enough, I suppose. Tbh it seems pretty Georgeish to me, but then again what do I know.

I wonder if there’s such a thing as a George song that I dislike? So far I haven’t heard one.

I suppose it is, but it’s got an ethereality to it that is distinct from most other things he’s done… he’s typically a little more straightforward with pouring his soul from him to you. BOSFC is more evocative than direct.

True.

Nope.

(To be fair, I think there’s a few I’m not keen on, but it’s something like… three or four out of his entire discography… )

  

Well yeah that’s different, there are a couple I’m meh about (Ding Dong Ding Dong ,  for one) but I don’t think I actively dislike any.

Also:  It’s Johnny’s Birthday is adorable.

Here’s a question that just popped into my head: What word does George say best?

I’d say “brackets” of course, but as I have previously stated the way he says “care” is

I’m personally very fond of the Harrisonian pronunciation of ‘about’ (I know, I know ): ‘abaut’. I also really like his pronunciation of ‘something’.

  

Also “singer.” 

Honestly it’s a silly question every word he says is beautiful

@All Things Must Pass said in another thread

i like ALL George’s albums ALL!! even the less popular Extra Texture and gone troppo

Do you have a favorite though?

I’d say “Those are some good songs you’ve got there” but they’re Harrisongs so that goes without saying…
