Dubbed by Frank Sinatra as the greatest love song ever written, “Something” was written by George Harrison for his wife Pattie Boyd. Within her book “Wonderful Tonight”, Pattie had the following to say about the song:
“George wrote a song called Something. He told me in a matter-of-fact way that he had written it for me. I thought it was beautiful and it turned out to be the most successful song he ever wrote, with more than 150 cover versions. George’s favorite version was the one by James Brown. Mine was the one by George Harrison, which he played to me in our kitchen. But, in fact, by then our relationship was in trouble. Since a trip to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in India in 1968, George had become obsessive about meditation. He was also sometimes withdrawn and depressed.”
Being the only Beatles’ song that was written by George and released as a single, Something can be found on the Beatles’ album “Abbey Road”.
In the below video is a simplified version of Harrison’s classic. Enjoy!
