The Quiet One

Submitted by ub on

George Harrison was the first member of The Beatles to embrace mind expansion. George immediately  learned to tell it like it is.

He was the quiet one who initiated a direction for The Fab Four who wrote songs about the way he saw things. George cut an indelible impression with musical virtuosity, lyrical guitar playing, and his beautiful introspective songs.

Harrison wrote "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" as an exercise in randomness inspired by the Chinese I Ching. The song conveys his dismay at the world's unrealized potential for universal love, which he refers to as "the love there that's sleeping" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFDg-pgE0Hk

By the mid-sixties, they had begun to change their style, but it would seem, George Harrison, despite being regarded as a secondary member-songwriter was three steps ahead of them, deliberately subverting pop’s longest-held tropes and producing a high-quality track at the same time. LISTEN carefully and hear the style and his lyrical messages
