Thank you, Christopher and Joanne, for this free-flowing, warm-hearted, and inspiring interview highlighting how magic is interwoven in our culture that can positively impact us all. It shows how we are all interconnected. They clearly acted on their divinity.

WowW thank you! from one Chicago girl born and raised to another. What you shared here was , is so precious for me. I know in my heart the Beatles along with a few other musicians arrived right on time for the level of consciousness few were in tuned to. Their lyrics were channeled, that is the reason many felt resonance . We all know the feeling of HOME, rather conscious of it or not. George moved me more than the others. Moody Blues too divine channeling came through. We all HEAR from a different level of consciousness, and I feel that is the reason for so much division on our planet. To be able to HEAR from a higher heart sets us straight.🙏✌ Just want to say that Elvis to was on a spiritual path that caused his inner suffering . He studied the Autobiography of a Yogi . How blessed are we to KNOW and FEEL the truth of their beautiful and heartfelt music. Thank you again ! this was so endearing for me 🌟

I had my first childhood awakening at 11 yrs old, hearing the Beatles for the first time.

It's impossible to overestimate their influence-back then and now, as this interview testifies. The music is classic in the realms of rock, pop, and perhaps especially psychedelia, which is a reason the young psychonauts of today dig it. And of course, throughout, is the honest refrain, "Love is all you need." George was for me the primary messenger of news about the East, opening up its spirituality through art, introducing me to Krishna and the Gita and all the visual expressions of the subcontinent's culture. The interview is a great way to start a rainy morning. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hello again; this discussion has percolated some thoughts and feelings around my own relationship to this period of The Beatles output since my last comment and i feel prompted to share in the spirit of the video, to which the approach toward burgeoning spiritual awakenings within the listeners that were fostered by the bands musical expression of their own journey and are recalled in a somewhat loose and free manner with regard to contemporary events and perceived synchronicities which harmonise within the fabric of the individual and shared maps of meaning. Upon recollection of one of the narrators statements it was posited that perhaps 'Rain' was the musical indicator of the bands progression toward interiority in a Universal sense and understandably so, however for myself it was the first bookend of Rubber Soul (another 7" not appearing on any album) that, as a child, stirred a deep and profound sense of wonderment. The unity of opposites in 'We Can Work It Out', with its 4/4 aspirant optimism and the 3/4 harsh reality check and firm assertion of mortality in the middle eight all wrapped in the warm drone of Lennons' otherworldly Harmonium (foreshadowing future development toward the inclusion of the Tambura in their repertoire) painted a reality i, in my boyhood, had not yet been confronted with; that things may fall apart but that also they will work themselves out, that though there is fear, there is also hope. (I understand now that the song was about a relationship but in my infantile experience this notion was beyond me.) In this track perhaps we witness the labour of pushing against, to which 'Rain' becomes the aperture to the later breakthroughs, this is somewhat underscored by the method of Lennons' playing; an 'appoggiatura', derived from the Italian : To Lean. This leaning into gives sign not only to a tension and resistance but also to a subsequent release. Which to me is delightful enough, however, when you consider it was Harrison who suggested that the middle eight should be a Waltz then perhaps consider a playful wink from Nataraja set to spin a dervish like Sogdian whirl within the song and my heart - that dove, ascended, contracted and expanded a six year old's perceptions that dizzy's and stills in the throes of the valse cadence of its closing bars. Those exquisite few seconds remain for me as the germination of their more intrepid iteration and perhaps my own threshold to contemplating the firmament. Please excuse this Long and Winding comment but please also accept my thanks for prompting this reflection by way of sharing your considerably more interesting experiences. I've enjoyed your video, more than i'd initially considered and also the channel; Jeffery's interviews with Pierre Grimes being a highlight. Thanks again.

Before I watch I must mention the Beatles as visionaries and prophets are overlooked. The fab 4 may have not even fully realized this. The subject has been on my radar as of late.

To highlight the point of no internet, Rain was a b-side not on any album, for years i would mention it and many folk had never heard of it at all. I'm surprised that there is no mention of Juan Mascaro, his meeting with George on The David Frost Show and their subsequent correspondences leading to the writing of Inner Light, which George essentially lifted from Mascaros' Lamps of Fire , containing his translation of the verse from The Tao Te Ching..

In their own “self-educational, starting from a relatively modest social back-ground, working hard, being discovered, starting a wave...“ way, they managed to partake of and bundle many aspects of the Zeitgeist - and communicate them to a broad public. But, of course, there were also many other remarkable peronalities on this musical scene, like Bob Dylan, the Who, Jimmy Hendrix, Pink Floyd, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Yes - only to mention a few, lots going on during these times...

I grew up hearing the Beatles long after they had finished and I always loved the mystical parts of the Beatles. No mention of if Paul really did die and had someone take his place lol (Abbey road front cover). Thanks for that interesting interview to get me through a Friday.

How on earth could you two discuss The Inner Light of the Beatles without once referencing George's song The Inner Light?

@cnaughtonmedia 2 ай бұрын

You are absolutely right! I was familiar with the song as an odd Beatles "B" side to "Lady Madonna" but it never made it to an album. Unlike other Beatles "B" sides that became hits of their own (e.g., “Day Tripper,” "Rain," “Strawberry Fields Forever," "I Am the Walrus," "Revolution," etc.) the Inner LIght never charted. But it was celebrated in the Concert for George after Harrison's death. But yes, huge omission on our part.

@@cnaughtonmedia Yes Christopher, was always amazed that in the years before cd compilations only those of us who had the single knew of this song! (On scratchy 45rpm vinyl too!) This went on for ages with me trying to tell folks, and Beatles' fans, of the signiifcance of it in George's cannon. Eventually it came out that George had recorded most of it in Bombay on a couple of solo trips. For ages I had assumed thta it was done in London with the musicians on Within You Without You.

Referencing? How about praising it as a masterpiece. Appreciate your comment. Bless you.
