The Beatles are amazing. Everyone assumes they're overrated because they're so famous. But all you need to do is start listening to them and you realize why they were such a sensation in the first place.

There’s no love song written for you(yet) because words can’t express just how beautiful you are…. I am glad that many people your age are finding out about the Beatles. I work with several young Black people who tell me they love the Beatles. I am a 67 year old White man. It makes me so happy to know that the Beatles are loved by different people of different backgrounds and cultures. That is what music is supposed to do. Bring us all together as one. It’s a beautiful thing!

Princess, I too grew up with The Beatles. I was 7 years old when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan, I am now 68. So yes, I do have nostalgic feelings when I hear their music. Also, The Beatles met when they were 14, 15, and 16 years old. When they broke up, they were 27, 28, and 29 years old, still relatively young, but they had known each other for years. They went through so much during those years. They developed into men with their own interests, and drifted apart. They were like brothers, but like brothers, they followed their own paths. Happens to everyone. They gave us so much music and love. I thank God that he gave us The Beatles. ❤❤❤

[@eternalme6077]

I'm an old geezer and The Beatles are the Sound track of my life. That being said......I just love that you are discovering the Love, Power and Beauty of The Beatles. You have a Special beautiful heart other wise you wouldn't even give this Music the time of day. Not that I'm comparing anyone to George ( who wrote this Song ), but I'm sure there are quite a few Men who would love to write a Deep, Emotional and Moving Love Song that you inspired in their hearts. I can't tell how wonderful it is to see young people like yourself really listening to The Beatles and Digging what we've enjoyed all these years. I doubt you'll ever read my particular comment, but if you do......... I want to Thank you for putting a Smile on this old Man's face and a twinkle in my Heart. 🎸♥️

You may be interested to know that Celine Dion did a cover of this song in tribute to George’s widow, Olivia when she saw her in the audience. What was really cool was that Joe Walsh was also in the audience, so she drafted him to accompany her on guitar. It was a very beautiful, moving performance. Spontaneous and unrehearsed. A genuine once in a lifetime special moment. It’s on KZbin. Easy to find and well worth your time. ❤

There was music before the Beatles and music after. The most important, influential group ever.

[@Isleofskye]

Frank Sinatra said it was the greatest love song ever written, Unusuallly, this was NOT written by Lennon/McCartney but by George Harrison., They played 7 hours a night for 5 months in a German Club to perfect their Art. This was 1960. They had their first UK hit in 1962.Their first Number 1 was in 1963 and conquered America as the head of "The British Invasion" in 1964. They were the first to play to NONsegregated USA audiences,the first to play outdoor stadiums (Shea Stadium: New York:55,000) and by 1966 they stopped touring as the screaming got too much. They had ALL The Top 5 in THe USA charts and 14 records in The Top 100 at the same time. They sold more records worldwide than the next 2 Artists (MJ and Elvis) COMBINED.

[@RIbigDave]

It shouldn't be surprising that it was written by George Harrison because he wrote it about his wife Pattie Boyd there's at least 10 other love songs including wonderful tonight that were written by both George Harrison and Eric Clapton about Pattie Boyd

[@hackapump]

Unfortunately Frank wrongly assumed it was a Lennon-McCartney song and presented it as such in live shows. Of course George took in stride.

[@doopil]

Hey Princess, Im 70 years old and the Beatles music was the soundtrack of my coming of age. I bought these records as fast as they were released.

[@memorylane7068]

For side two you should listen to the medley unbroken. The sequence begins with "You Never Give Me Your Money," then continues with "Sun King," "Mean Mr. Mustard," "Polythene Pam," "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window," "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight" and "The End." Abbey Road then closes with a short hidden tune titled "Her Majesty." They all run-together, and to hear them individually ruins the effect.

[@antifax8434]

My Sweet George ❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸

[@skiziskin]

Couldn't be more nostalgic for us. I remember the day when I heard the news that The Beatles had split up. It felt like a loved one had died. But what we--I at least--didn't quite appreciate and I'm not quite sure why was that they had literally been together all the time from when they were kids to their late twenties. All the time, through the turbulent sixties, they led the chronicled the changes that confronted us all. Yet they didn't have the chance to explore their individual selves. Looking back I see that it was inevitable but when I was thirteen, it was like my whole foundation had been ripped from under me. Abbey Road was my favorite of all the Beatles' albums and then it was over. Then, it didn't take long for George to release All Things Must Pass, and all his pent up creative brilliance came flooding out because he had always been in the background behind John and Paul. It was magnificent and I realized nothing was over. It was just a new day and the world was different because they had made it so.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Imagine being the woman who inspired two of the greatest love songs of the era---"Something" by George Harrison and "Layla" by Eric Clapton. That was Patty Boyd, a great beauty by anyone's standard.

[@mikeeckel2807]

...also "Wonderful Tonight." There are a couple of others, too.

[@BrianDenny-s2c]

One of the greatest love songs ever written. As Frank Sinatra would say, he never says he loves her in the song. Beautifully written!

[@bostonwhofan]

When you said "I just want someone to write a song like this for me", it reminded me of last January when my wife turned 60 years old. While we were driving I put the song "Even Now" by Bob Seger on in the car and before it started playing I told her I wish I had written this song because it is truly the way I feel about her as she turned 60. After the song finished, I looked over and she had tears streaming down her face. She truly appreciated it. Another great song in this same realm is "Annie's Song" by John Denver. BTW, the late, great Frank Sinatra called "Something" the greatest love song of the past 50 years.

Your reactions seem just fine. For me The Beatles were all about moving forward positively and I heard them from about 1962/63 onwards. They were still young when they broke up, still had some learning to do; nearly 25 yrs later, when they played together once more, you can see they understood more deeply the love they were sharing and asking us to wake up to.

[@swanvictor887]

My personal all-time fave Beatles song: I've loved it since it was released, when I was a child. I have vivid memories of watching the pro-mo film on Top Of the Pops (in Black & White) and despite being only 6 years old, I watched the film and realised ....THEY WERE SAYING GOODBYE! I said this to my teen cousin and he disagreed strongly, he loved the Beatles (he was 15 at the time, grew up with them, as it were). The film is incredibly sad. Take a look of the close-up of Paul McCartney: he looks thoroughly exhausted and he was still in his 20s! They had all found new partners...new women in their lives...they were moving on as artists.

[@jerrypost9651]

That was a lovely analysis ... both of the Beatles music and of the more substantive issue of growing older. You show a lot of wisdom about the journey at hand for all of us. And I'm delighted that you love the music to which I grew up. Yes, the world rather collectively wept when word got out that the group had broken up. But as we learned more about the tensions within the group, and also got to see how each of them flourished independently in their music careers, the majority of us learned to accept all of it. And none of that diminishes the impact of the incredible music they created in just a handful of years.

[@ESyshej-gf2eg]

Finally! Ive been suggesting this one, I thought you might like it. You got taste. I’m 27 so I didn’t get to experience the Beatles in real time, but this is the song that made me fall in love with them, there is something about George Harrison in particular that I can’t really point my finger, but his music and personality really resonates with me, might be his brutal honesty even in writing a romantic song “you’re asking me if my love will grow? I don’t know” that’s really something. Plus, he was hot. Anyway, if you enjoy their music and want to check out more I would suggest “A day in the life” and “Dear Prudence” two other favourites of mine. There’s a lot of 60’s and 70’s music that it’s worth checking out really, even from other bands, I really enjoy Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac in particular, as well as the Beatles. I’m also a soul/R&B girl, love Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Lana Del Ray, Rihanna, to name a few, as current artists go, but I also love the 60’s and 70’s.

@@ESyshej-gf2eg - Like you I love all kind of music. Having grown up during the beginning of the Beatles hey day ( I was 13 when they first visited America) before them there was Frank Sinatra ( popular music) and believe me if you're not very familiar with it, a lot of it is worth checking out. Of that genre you have Laufey of your generation ( Jazz & Classical ) who is really incredible. Anyway excuse the tangent, getting back to George Harrison - even Sinatra who originally disliked the Beatles ( a little jealous I think at the time ) recorded "Something" and said it was one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Believe me coming from him it meant a lot. Glad to see the younger generation appreciating good music.

[@jornspirit]

...what a beautiful reaction, Itsprincess! You engage so much with the song, and your comments and afterthoughts were really good and to the point, e.g. don't hang on to the past, rather enjoy/be grateful for what was happening... I grew up much closer to that time (was 14 in 1970), and could see how the Beatles inevitably moved towards splitting up, after having been so close for so long... it was time for giving more space to their private lives, relationships, starting families... I think the split-up was indeed very healthy for them, and often in the moment of letting go its not fun... but later we see how important it was for moving forward in our lives... Well done, dear you! Looking forward to your progression through the album! 😎 PS. Someone will write you a love song/poem like this one, I'm sure! 💖

In hindsight it was a very special time to grow up and it deeply affected the old folks that are now grandparents and great grandparents. Most of us are still here and that soundtrack is within us. As time passes and generations are assigned some sort of name.I hope someday mine will be remembered as the coolest generation instead of being discounted as just boomers

Paul and Linda Eastman had also married in 1969, and were together until her death from cancer in 1998. George, who wrote this song, was married to Pattie Boyd from 1966 to 1977 when they divorced. George passed away in 2001 of cancer and Pattie is still living at age 80. Ringo and Maureen Cox were married from 1966 to 1975 when they divorced. Maureen passed away from leukemia in 1994.
