George didn’t audition for the Quarrymen at Rory Storm’s house. He interviewed on the empty top deck of a double decker bus. Both Paul and George have described this audition location in interviews.

[@dorrianstone7264]

🎸 I don't believe he is talking to an individual person in the song, I always had the impression he was speaking to humanity as a whole. George always had a big picture view of the world, he stepped back and observed. His observations became his music. George wanted to save the whole world. He was the first of the four to truly understand the value of humility which is what allowed his spiritual side to thrive. Enjoyed the video, thank you!

she's wayyyyyyyy over thinking this

[@melamineflorentine8134]

George often did both...spoke generally then focused in one person. The verses sound general but the I don't know how chorus he is talking to McCartney. Same with Ob-La-Di verse in Savoy Truffle... he starts song lecturing Clapton about sweets or drugs or women but he ends up pointing at McCartney that his happy songs may bev sweet now but the reality of being a commercial songwriting success will end badly.

[@vpardi1]

@@melamineflorentine8134 Don't think George was lecturing Clapton but poking fun at his addiction to sweets. After all it was the box of Good News Choclates Clapton enjoyed at Geprges house that supplied the lyrics. Thanks though for mentionikng Ob-La-Di though. I never made that connection. i know the other three Beatles were bitter over the many takes on that song which none of them really cared for.

Hello, young lady. This is my first visit to your channel. I am impressed and pleased with the way you interpret George's beautiful, soulful song. I have loved this song since it's release in 1968, when I was just eight years of age. All my life, I'd hoped to meet a woman who loved music and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, as I did. Alas, I'm an old man now, nearer the end than the beginning. Perhaps, if I've lived rightly in this life, I will be rewarded with such a partner in the next. But I have not always stayed on the path. Ah, but I digress. This beautiful song is, to me, more like a prayer. I am so glad you have found it. Namaste.

The Beatles, disappointed with the Maharishi. They all wrote songs about it John Lennon Dear Prudence,and the unbelievably scathing Sexy Sadie. Both were addressing disappointed outcomes with the spiritual leader. George's contribution on the white album as well in this regard, 'while my guitar gently weeps', with the same reflections, scathing even damning of the great businessman/ spiritual leader the Mahasayogi. Paul, waited till magical mystery tour in his masterpiece, ' fool on the hill' Look up Srila Prabhupada my dears. This was George's, and the Beatles last and greatest guru. HareKrsna

“I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping” is not just a poetic rhyme. May I submit that the floor is a metaphors for ones path in life, and in this case the person whom can't share this love has cluttered their path with things that get in the way of sharing love, maybe material stuff or resentment or unable to let go of the past, holding on to some sort of anger or pain.

[@jonniiinferno9098]

normally - when a songwriter writes a song - they are writing about something they have observed or experienced - or sometime just something they made up - but - they also write about their feelings and their inner struggles. As you stated, George was a couple of years into a journey of self-discovery and introspection. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - strikes me more as a song that is introspective as if George is having a conversation with himself - about himself

[@keriford54]

Thanks, this video was a nice piece of work. The line "I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping" makes me think of the saying: Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. To me it is the very ordinariness of the image, in your ordinary life enlightenment dwells. Be aware, live with clarity, in the moment, even amongst ordinary things.

[@davidkent2804]

I appreciate how you established the literary, cultural, religious, and musical influences that led to the Harrison transformation. The song itself is made self referential by the heavy use of Clapton's slide vibrato and Harrison's moaning vocals, but it works. The bass parts are particularly well arranged imo and are either mic'ed close, direct into the board, or possibly doubled on guitar. (Somebody might be able to comment on that). It seems to me that Harrison grew as a person at a rate appropriate for the extraordinary conditions he found himself in and perhaps the other members did not. I always felt like his material from that era was a bit preachy but we could certainly use more of that message in the mainstream today. I also appreciated your heartfelt response and interpretation of the lyrics.

My first time on your channel. I've actually never looked at the lyrics of this song anything like as closely as you have. I think I have always looked on the lyrics mostly as wordplay, just as George's dear friend, Bob Dylan, sometimes likes to do. Now you've got me thinking! When I first started listening to this song, I soon began to feel that it was The Complete Rock Song - it had everything, both musically and lyrically. As you have it that this is the greatest R & R song ever written, do I take it that 'Here Comes the Sun' and 'Something' do not fall into the category of R & R? Certainly, the latter is a much-loved ballad. May I point out two things in your account? 1. George's father, Harry, was actually a bus driver and not a conductor. 2. Before the group became The Beatles (with an A), they called themselves The Silver Beetles (with an E). Thanks very much for all your work in preparing and presenting this video.

[@musicdude1]

Great job, but you mentioned Phil Spector which is incorrect . The only Beatles album he produced was Let it be, and even then it was very controversial and not highly regarded. In fact George Martin was the genius behind the Beatles production,, the fifth Beatle, responsible for most of their early vocal arrangements and of course all the unbelievable strings, he had perfect pitch, & was the one who signed the Beatles, at that time, because they were charming and funny, not because they had good songs - which they didn't in 1962. He challenged them to write better songs. George Martin's classical music background transformed the Beatles sound, Phil spector's best days were long past by the time in produced Let it Be.

Also the original name was the Silver Beatles, ‘Silver’ being dropped fairly soon after.

[@talltim9579]

There is so much mythology around the Beatles. One of them is that they were these absolute musical geniuses from day one and had no "help from their friends" along the way. They could pop in the studio and with hardly any effort whip up one pop hit after another in record time (excuse the pun). They were so good they only needed a few takes to get it down perfectly- even though they just created the song. Not likely to convince any die-hards, but that is very unlikely- especially with the diverse style of tunes they produced. The White album however was an exception. It took much longer and many, many takes to get anything down. So they likely did more of that themselves and why it is the most uneven of their recordings with gems and not so gems.

[@twalrus1]

George had more to say than you know if you listen carefully to his songs. In "While my guitar gently weeps", George is talking to Paul and John. "I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No-one alerted you" George is telling them that they have lost their way. This line is to tell John and Paul that George is no fool and knows they are laughing behind his back: " I look at the world and I notice it's turning" This is to tell them that he knows that they think he (George) is The Fool On The Hill. It is a direct reply to: " But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round" Listen to what Paul and John think about George in Fool On The Hill: " Well on the way Head in a cloud The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make And he never seems to notice" Translated: George is the quiet one, but when he talks, he wants to talk about his Far East religion. Indian religion is called the religion of one thousand Gods. "The man of one thousand voices talking perfectly loud. But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make, and he never seems to notice." Paul and John are basically saying, "Nobody wants to listen to you talk about your religion, dude." George was treated as an outsider by Paul and John and that's why they didn't respect his song writing for more than one song per album. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was George letting Paul and John know he's nobody's fool.

[@JamesThompson-zk1ht]

Are you really bringing up that tired old nonsense about Paul being dead? He was just barely into his 20s at that time. LOTS of people are still growing at that age. It's not the norm, and the rate of growth is pretty low, but it IS a fact. And people never grow such that every feature remains strictly identically proportional. They change. Not so radically as to be unrecognizable. But they continue to change, slowly and subtly, throughout the course of their lives. At that age many are still undergoing changes which are more pronounced than they will be for most of the rest of their lives.

[@lark265]

[@gerrymessier8781]

George brought Eric on because he felt since he had been playing sitar that he just couldn't play the solo right. Clapton brought in a cherry red Les Paul Custom( a one off colour) After he played he gave it to George and said play. You see it in the video for Hey Jude, Revolution, and in Get back. Great break down of the song! Life flows on within you and without you....( another great George song)!

[@drvee1983]

That Les Paul was originally a Gold Top that was beat up, so Rick Derringer sent it back to Gibson to paint it red. When he got it back he didn't like it and sold it to a guitar store. Clapton saw it while on tour with Cream and bought it. He later gave it to George during the White Album sessions, and George named it " Lucy " after Lucille Ball because it was red. In the 70's it was stolen while George was in California. He paid to get it back from thieves in Mexico and got it returned. It is in Dani Harrison's collection today.

[@JamesThompson-zk1ht]

@drvee1983 Hmm. BB King had several identical Gibson electric guitars over time, all named Lucille. He has told the story many times of how the original Lucille was named, after a girl who was being fought over in a juke joint BB was playing in. The combatants wound up knocking over a kerosene heater, and BB was lucky to make it out alive - AFTER first grabbing his precious guitar. I have to take a coincidence like this, George just happening to give his own Gibson electric guitar essentially the same name, with a grain of salt. I've never heard this story, either, which is certainly not conclusive, but it is a bit surprising to me - that is, IF your story is true.

This does not detract from 'WMGGW' - just pointing it out. Have a listen kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip2uiYuEi6Z2itE 2.
