First time plugging in my new "Rocky" project.

Intonation could use some work (I'm on it, I'm on it), but it sounds pretty decent. Thoughts?

Breath Away From Heaven

Is this song a throwaway, or an absolute masterpiece?

Be Here Now.

TW: Self Harm.

Today has been a really hard day. I suffer from bad CPTSD after two consecutive abusive relationships, and today it got too much. I relapsed and self harm for the first time in months. I was about to give up and go to call today a complete loss but I just checked Spotify and saw the remaster for Be Here Now had been released. It has always been one of my favourite songs and has helped ground me during the worst of times.

Thanks George, I hope you found peace.

The music of George Harrison changed my life

Hello everyone,

After being a Beatles fan for a few years, I decided at the beginning of this year to start listening to their solo work. I decided the first would be George, because his songs in The Beatles had a different mood and I wanted more.

The first album I listened to was 'Living in the Material World', and I inmediatly loved 'Give me Love', 'Be Here Now' and 'That is All'. After that I listened to 'All Things Must Pass' and, honestly, I can not find a bad song in that album. I specially loved, during my first listens, 'Wah-Wah' 'Art of Dying' and 'Hear Me Lord'.

Then I listened to the other albums. I do not want to make this post very long, but some songs I love are 'Love Comes to Everyone', 'Dear One', 'True Love', 'Your Love is Forever', 'Fish on the Sand' and 'Got my Mind Set on You'.

I said in the title that his music changed my life because now I see everything other way. I have a different opinion about God and generally I would say that I take things easier than before. I think I am a very nervous person and now this is changing (this is not only because of his music lol, but it has played an important role).

To finish, I would like to share my top 10 songs. It is difficult to choose them, but here it is:

  1. This is Love

  2. Beware of Darkness

  3. All Things Must Pass

  4. Be Here Now

  5. The Light that Has Lighted the World

  6. Awaiting on You All

  7. If You Believe

  8. Dark Sweet Lady

  9. Just For Today

  10. Blow Away

Thank you so much for your time and thank you George! :)

Shanghai Surprise Sessions (Almost Complete)

Vocal Remover tools were used for Someplace Else and Breath Away from Heaven. For Someplace Else, I used the ending from the film in an attempt to reconstruct the final missing 10 seconds, as well as slow it down to its correct speed, because the version floating around is slightly sped-up. I wanted to include Zig Zag and Hottest Gong in Town, but they had to be cut due to Reddit time constraints. Those two songs were already released complete anyways.

I so wish the original Breath Away from Heaven was released in full. I think it sounds much better than on Cloud Nine. That's probably why it's my holy grail of unreleased Harrison material.

Is the 50th anniversary edition of All Things Must Pass the definitive version of the album?

It definitely sounds like it. From what I've listened to it, I was blown away by how I could actually hear George. I could barely hear him in the original. Though I'm not sure if they removed any instruments or not.

Is this the Harrison Estate's plan?

Give each of his albums 50th year anniversary collections? I can imagine Extra Texture being next in 2025, then beginning in 2026, the Dark Horse Records albums, starting with 33 & 1/3. Maybe when they give Cloud Nine a 50th year anniversary treatment, they will put out the Shanghai Surprise sessions.

How come “Wake Up My Love” is such a disliked song by George?

I’ve always liked the urgency to the music, and the lyrics too — definitely my favourite track on Gone Troppo, and leads very well into the calmer ‘That’s the Way It Goes’ in my opinion.

“Christ! I’m looking for some light!”

Question

Is anyone aware of why all content featuring the Traveling Wilburys music is blocked? I live in America so I don’t understand why for me it says their songs are blocked on youtube.

More 50th anniversary releases

I dont want to make this sound like were incredibly hungry for it, but do you guys think we are gonna get a 50th anniversary release of dark horse? 1 year ago the same question got asked about living in the material world, and most people said no. Yet, here we are today.

If dark horse wasnt to be chosen, do you think any of his other albums have a chance? Like... cloud nine? Or do you think we are gonna get something like a 'late 70's years' box set? Who knows?
