Great job, nice production, keep up the good work!

[@stevenpape2021]

What about countermelody? Paul's melodic bass, which contrasts with the melody, is a major part of why Something sounds so good.

@@christianhlie can you do “yes it is” by the Beatles next? Or maybe something from the band jellyfish!

They shared a wife, so I have no problem believing Eric influenced this song. Or, maybe George influenced Eric.

I believe Eric Clapton wrote 'Something'. Just listen to it carefully and you should hear Clapton's writing style. Did Eric give it George or what I don't know. 'Something's fishy here.

Some people just need to find fault, somewhere, somehow, to make their day complete. How's that working out for you?

[@annode]

@@DeutschlandGuy Not at all. My thinking is straight forward based on the music and the history. Musically it sounds to me like Clapton's writing style. Lyrically it sounds like a love song written to Pattie Boyd, Harrison's wife, who Clapton was in love with. Read the lyrics from Clapton's point of view.

What songs had Clapton written at that point (early 1969) that sound like "Something"?

[@annode]

@@urbangorilla33 Good question! I'm actually not a Clapton fan. In fact I think of him as a third rate song writer/performer. But you made me think about what is it that had me feeling he wrote 'Something'. I skipped through all his solo records today up until 'Autumn', and did not find a single song that I could hear any semblance of someone with enough talent who could write 'Something'. As a player and writer, he's a hack...sorry Eric. (besides with Cream.) So what am I hearing in 'Something' that makes me feel he wrote it? I still need to investigate this...get back to you.
