In addition, in Revolver there are no longer two, but three of his songs and, above all, one of his best creations is responsible for opening this emblematic album, considered by many critics and fans as the best of the 20th century. George’s influence is beginning to bear fruit: the incursion of an oriental instrument like the sitar, totally unknown and ignored by Rock, brings new nuances that redefine western popular music. A bright and harmonious melody accompanies a sincere lyrics “if I needed someone to love, you would be the only one I would be thinking about”. Without a doubt, one of fans favorite songs from George and from that beautiful album Rubber Soul.

Think For Yourself, whose lyrics introduce us to a lyricist more like Don’t Bother Me than the sweet words of love he sings in Help!. With this theme, George inaugurates his most virtuous cycle that he would surpass on each album. He exhibits a love song again, trying to feed off his new relationship, but without too many ideas.Īfter a discreet contribution in Help!, Harrison takes revenge with Rubber Soul and begins to show his enormous capacity as a songwriter. They are his first steps as a composer and of course Lennon and McCartney were several levels higher. It is the second composition of his in Help! and possibly one of his weakest songs. I Need You is his first romantic and melancholic contribution inspired, at the time, by his new girlfriend Pattie Boyd, whom he met during the filming of A Hard Day’s Night, the first Beatles movie. From now on he would stop singing covers to begin the laborious challenge of sneaking into the track list governed by John and Paul.

It took two years for Harrison to reappear in the credits with two songs for the Help! Album.

A flu picture during a tour of Bournemouth forced him to rest for a few days and there he decided to compose his first lyrics, after observing the ease with which his two companions created successful songs. Even so, his first work appeared on the second album entitled With The Beatles, released months later, in November of that same year. In fact, as George Martin, the band’s producer, once revealed, neither John nor Paul nor he believed in George’s ability as a songwriter. None of the songs on Please Please Me, the first Beatles album released in March 1963, was composed by George Harrison. Advertisement #22 – Don’t Bother Me (1963)
