George Harrison - Rising Sun

Umlaut Corp + EMI own the rights. Track from the album Brainwashed released in 2002 shortly after George's passing. Jeff Lynne produced and polished up George's basic track along with George's son Dhani! I added rare pics of George, shots taken just before he died.

[@jthatley9961]

the best Beatle of all, in my opinion, I love his music. It touches my soul!!!! Miss him!

[@johnsarab4500]

Me too. When I had to choose a major, it was Harrison that got me to think of only two options, the priesthood or environmental studies.

[@2011filippo]

Absolutly a most elevated soul

[@marjanp4784]

My favorite Beatle ❤️

[@lindyfrank5342]

My opinion too...George practiced all the time...spiritually physically and emotionally all the time...what a man

[@lindyfrank5342]

Listen to the words...they are powerful.

[@Ian_Jules]

I've been listening to Brainwashed again recently and it really is a fantastic album. The pity is that it was posthumous and people thus tend to interpret the songs as being related to mortality. One or two do seem to be about dying, but I think many, like this one, predate George's illness. This is a song that should be life affirming, physically and spiritually. It's not about the specter of death IMO. What I like here: beautiful slide guitar that rests perfectly on top of the rhythm section. Also, the uke--does anyone else here it back there in the mix? As on most Brainwashed tracks, George's vocals are unadorned and clear most of the time. Jeff Lynne does not deserve flack for his production on this album. I find it quite laid back and tasteful in the main. Some numbers are sparse by his standards. I think he treated songs with grace and dignity.

[@lilise3965]

Even "Stuck inside a cloud" isn't about his terminal illness, since it was recorded end of the '80s-beginning of the '90s, when the cancer was a long way ahead. "Looking for my life" is about his 1997 stabbing & near murder, of course! think the only song truly about his illness was "Horse to the water", included in Jools Holland's album "Jools Holland & Friends".

[@hollypotthoff2337]

George had no fear of death, so any mention of death was sublime. He knew his spirit would go on. His faith was so much about making the most of dying, of doing it right, as he knew that was definitely not the end. Olivia's experience at his death bed affirms this. What an extraordinary man he was, and is!

[@aprilvelasco2900]

George did not fear death. It was another part of his journey he anticipated. He's still around us in the universe. I miss him being on this planet.

[@janetstephenson2099]

George Harrison’s music gets me through every day. I love his music.

[@tomsprague4224]

My hero. I hope to meet him someday. I love you George.

[@ivanperez6934]

he is die, you can't know him...

[@rosegon100]

ivan perezI think that Tom's desired place to hanging with George is really Heaven. Nice one!

[@rosegon100]

***** I tried to explain the desire of someone who isn't George... It's a little bit confusing, you know,,,

[@alkentarch7083]

+ivan perez Please use a dictionary or a translator next time. Not to mention the futility of your comment. Thank you.

[@aheendwhz1]

+d m He hoped to see much clearer after living in the material world.

[@Aprilmarcloud]

Brilliant. George was a genius of melodism.

[@da_great_mogul]

As much as Sir James Paul McCartney was?

[@tipheretrose]

Profound song. Harrison was a mystic and his insights on the human condition and his personal testimony of his search for God is really special, like the hidden treasure one has to uncover inside the fluff of most of The Beatles music. The most under rated and gifted of all The Beatles. This song's lyrics are very deep.

[@charlesobregon5486]

I started meditating, about the same time I discovered this song. And it has taken a deeper meaning, which I can't fully explain

[@joanka34]

I believe you now know - of our infinite possibilities and love for life 🌿♥️

[@joanka34]

oh, what lyrics ...! George, Your spirit is the Rising Sun!

[@roymeyer23]

I have so much love for George. He gave the world such great music and hope. The best slide guitar player ever.

[@innerlight617]

George was really great,as a man as a musician. All his songs have a deep meaning.

[@daniellinehan63]

Thanks George

[@innerlight617]

George Harrison as a musician and as human being was a gift to Humanity! Period.ॐ ॐ ❤

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

Thank you George, Dhani and Jeff Lynne.

[@andrew.9423]

Rest in peace George. Love his music

[@lovegeorgeharrison60]

Once I'm able to, I'm definitely getting the lyrics "But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin. Universe at play inside your DNA You're a billion years old today" tattooed.

[@cadia5127]

Did ya get your tat?

[@crazyhorse545454]

George Harrison was so deep. He was spiritual without all the hype, so natural. Love ya George, hurry back we need you.

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

I absolutely love George Harrison and his music

[@superman11978]

You know what, George probably had the most distinct guitar style of all time. He's the only guy you can hear two seconds of guitar from and say "that's George." Not just the slide guitar, although that was his trademark, but any guitar style he was playing.

[@anthonyneilwatson6105]

As a singer , this song keeps coming back to me, true words ,very clever

[@joanka34]

wonderful message, George. Thanx everybody.

[@fabfour7397]

A real Gem! Thank you Jeff Lynne and George, 2 music geniuses with a great soul.

[@Ad.Dd.James.]

'Your a billion years old today'My sound system must feel the same age because this song is worth playing loud and proud.A great George Harrison track

[@lindyfrank5342]

play it all the time and get louder and louder...

[@juantailor]

That solo! Maybe the greatest sounding slide guitar ever recorded! Thick as molasses.

[@joshuaherpolsheimer3541]

Listen to a song called The Bluest Blues. Its awesome...kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOZgJ-AprtkqLM

[@brendaphilpott7154]

such a great song..thanks you Dhani & Jeff for making this the song George wanted it to be and putting this album out so we can have it..I miss George so.

[@LAwoman1956]

Been a fan of George since 1964. He became my all time favorite musician and miss him so much. I was fortunate to meet his son and sister in law and sister. Ringo too. Will never forget seeing George in his Dark Horse tour. We will see him again. He was wonderful💓

[@murdertherain]

George's music has opened so much in me. I came across "All Things Must Pass" at the most turbulent time in my life. George made me realize a lot of things in my life. He turned me on to Eastern religions that fit me better than Western religions, meditation, and the Sitar! Thank you George, for all you've done, and all you continue to do within you, and without you.

[@mauriceortiz8817]

This song should be played at every funeral. It's interesting that George, being my personal favorite Beatle because his songs hit me perfectly and personally, is the one who left a hopeful message in his last body of work recorded, while knowing he was dying. I can't help but love this man.

[@KCGeno]

George did his finest work, while literally on his death bed. "Brainwashed" is the perfect album.

[@antoinettearceo1802]

Love everything about this beautiful man!

[@uReSniping]

This is my favorite Harrison song. RIP George! Your music will live on forever!

[@fabfour7397]

Thank you Jeff Lynne and Dhani.

[@jahnimai]

Missing this gem amongst men, he had true spiritual, humility & love evident by his considerate respect just to be w/him or do the smallest favor

[@kauairalph108]

right on Hare Krishna!!

[@johnf5988]

My Favourite song !

[@briofisa]

Ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone mi commuovo!! Penso che un artista cosi' non tornerà piu'!!!!!!!!!!!! Grande George rimarrai sempre nei cuori di chi ti ha amato!

[@robincrow27]

Brainwashed is a great album. Thank you for leaving us a goodbye gift George. Many a day has it played me into the right frame of mind.

[@endrizo]

his voice and jeff´s strings make me cry...rip George.

[@lorneweaver7568]

"programed into guilt" great song especially since it was one of his last pieces of work. He left us far too soon! Missing you forever. George. Thank you for your beautiful gifts to us.

[@LisaGemini]

Love me some George. I appreciate his son Dhani and Jeff Lynne for co-producing his last masterpiece, Brainwashed. George was spiritual and optimistic...and funny. May he rest in peace forever.

[@innerlight617]

Brainwashed what an album!!His slide here is..breathtaking!

[@jimbo01111]

its so nice to see these pics of george b4 his death, the guy reminds me of my dad, and i wish he was, rip

[@micheleturley8870]

We miss our george.i always loved his wise beautiful soul.

[@88sublunaire]

The haunting slide guitar makes me wanna cry....! Thank You Brother George. Now tne Dark Horse runs through heavenly fields.

[@joe99f1]

buitiful song from a lovely man, sadly missed by all beatles fans the world over. RIP my friend.

[@annestes]

Thanks for posting this, and the pictures! Part of what I love about George, besides his music, is that he was focused on living fully, and not focused on dying. He kept making music, he kept close to the people he loved. What a joyous person he was!

[@glenneverett8673]

God bless you George, always missed

[@EarthyPoetGrrl]

Oh yes---can definitely hear Jeff Lynne all over this!

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

EarthyPoetGrrl Thank you JeffLynne and Dhani for completing this album. RIP my favourite Beatle.

I'd love to meet George in the afterlife.

[@albainbridge1]

A great album and a super song. Left the best till last? Underated genius!!!

[@dougat]

The most talented of them all!

[@limonali]

I adore this song. And it has a semi-beatle feel to it too. It's simply beautiful.

[@papawx3]

There was never anything phony about George, can't say that about a couple of other Beatles. He was also one of the most underrated musicians of his time, his talent was discounted by the industry chiefs because it wasn't as commercial as many of the others were. I have been a big fan of George from the start, and it saddens me that we will not be hearing any new material from him any more, at least in this life. See you in the next Georgie boy!

[@freddiebear9564]

Crippled by the boundaries,programmed into guilt,until your nervous system starts to tilt.God bless George Harrison

[@blackvelvetcabo]

damn this cd came to me when i was going thru very hard times...i was depressed...and the weather was rainy and cold in a place where it's not usual to have this weather...i remember that i took a trip with my friends...listening to this song...in the very very morning.....such a beautiful sensation that i can still feel everytime i hear this song...damn..it makes me cry...but it's a lot of words to say that it's a beautiful song....nice video by the way...

[@108Ultraviolet]

Has a place in my heart from long ago.

George's song makes me strong... then I think about the most beautiful things of living.

[@newspapertaxis1]

3;50 on the slide work is amazeing!!!!! Such feeling!!

[@eileenfleming]

George Harrison's 67th BD was yesterday, but I didn't recall it until today; although for the last 3 days, I have heard in my heart an ear worm: George's RISING SUN! I IMAGINE heaven is always rockin' with The Spirits of George, John Lennon, Jeff Healy, SRV, etc etc etc who have passed through The Door into NIRVANA: which is The State of being free from suffering for the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion have BLOWN into the Wind. Thanks for posting this gift, little sister, xoxe

[@eric6360]

What a beautiful soul. He found me when i was lost and there is so much wisdom in his music. If only there were more like him. Listen to his music and find yourself. Hare Krishna.

[@limonali]

I am trying Brainwashed slowly... one at the time... I love the rising sun, marwa blues, stuck inside a cloud... the rest still waits there on this last CD from George. I'm so grateful to George, Dhani and Jeff, for letting me listen once more to his beautiful music.

[@4FabBEATLES]

George was always special. I love his music and his beliefs the way he promoted honesty and spoke against corruption and violence. He died of lung cancer from smoking sadly.

[@neuroMante2010]

Un himno. Letra y música. George, hermano de la humanidad, qué regalo nos dejaste!

[@DarkComet360]

Darn, I've never heard this before and I'm usually on top of Beatles stuff, even the solo stuff. George was certainly a trooper, sang right up until the end. Poor George, shame he is no longer among us. RIP Georgie Porgie, miss yeahs!

[@joeflynn1932]

I wish I could get hold of a copy of Brian wash CD I've tried every were if anyone can get me a copy much appreciated , [e-mail] , I'll send the money

[@georgekush3327]

amazing lyrics.

[@billknorr3267]

The ghost of memory trapped in the body-mind is obviously the true, immutable SELF, which the beautiful George found and brought to life in the rising sun and in the head filled with light, as we can also do by following his example.

[@WelshIron]

Sweet, beautiful George. Much love to you, hari bol x

[@randagiove]

There are two kinds of musicians: the very technical ones, sometimes very arrogant, and that ones be able to touch the heart of the people. That s George for me. A musician and a human been.

[@michaelsewell6996]

He is a class act 👍 so talented and so smart ❤

[@MartinAracon]

A very important, unreachable person of the Fab Four!

[@Ad.Dd.James.]

One of George's best songs by far.What I can't understand is people making negative comments toward each other on this page.Shame on you,George would of really kept his distance from KZbin and social media in general because of all the negativity generated by some of those who abuse it.

[@haveatomato]

underrated huge talent. brainwashed is a spectacular album.

[@albainbridge1]

Simply great! Wonderful song. George is sadly missed.

This song is amazingly beautiful, I believe it just as good as songs like Imagine. George was a Beautiful Soul :)

Rising Sun George Harrison Album: Let It Roll On the street of villains taken for a ride You can have the devil as a guide Crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt Til your nervous system starts to tilt In a room of mirrors you can see for miles But everything that's there is in disguise Every word you've uttered and every thought you've had Is all inside your file the good and the bad But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin Universe at play inside your DNA You're a billion years old today Oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from Is inside of you and now your payment's overdue Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun On the avenue of sinners I have been employed Working there til I was near destroyed I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case When I heard the messenger from inner space He was sending me a signal that for so long I had ignored But he held on to my umbilical cord Until the ghost of memory trapped in my body mind Came out of hiding to become alive And in the rising sun you can hear your life begin And it's here and there nowhere and everywhere Though it's atmosphere is rare Oh the rising sun and the place that it's coming from Is inside of me and now I feel it constantly Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun And in the rising sun you can feel your life begin Universe at play inside your DNA You're a billion years old today Oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from Is inside of you, now your payment's overdue Oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun Oh the rising sun, ooh Writer(s): George Harrison ℗ 2009 Umlaut Corp
