No, it was released in mid-1973. I bought it when it first came out ... yes, this is 50-year-old music.
Wait, this song is only from 2012? Is that correct?

Best vocalist of the Beatles.
Of blessed memory is this man.

That seems wrong (or simply uninformed) on the face of it. I recommend that people locate and watch the recent (March 2023) PBS documentary The Movement and the Madman, which -- among other things -- explains the huge impact that hippie protesters had on the Viet Nam war and maybe in averting WWIII (for a while longer, at least).
Jet -- an underrated band with three great albums (though no one knows about the 2nd and 3rd ones) -- has a song talking about how the hippies failed to change a thing. They are SO WRONG and really need to watch this documentary, then write a follow-up that acknowledges things.
hippies (like my parents) never really had more of a plan to address world (and personal) problems than 'you just gotta love', utterly unrealistic given humanity's poor track record.

I still believe George was the Beatles' 'Secret Sauce'...

I love it! A guilt-free karmically-clean free pass to the JOY of George's amazingly chill Future-Mind...
You're a flippin' Beatle. The world at your feet. And you maintain your version of a spirituality that keeps you sane, keeps your sense of wry humor intact, and lets you be creative until it's time to meet your maker.
You can't make a story like that up.

I never understood the lyric "Keep me free from birth" in this song. Originally, I thought he was singing, "keep me free from birds" and I wondered what he could possibly have against birds.

'cept with Cream. That trio was True.
His oh so "Slow Hand". Ha! I found the description adorable.
Not to take away from this beautiful song; but every time I hear George I can only think of how that dink Eric Clapton stole his wife ( I know it takes two to tango, but without Eric the a-holes prompting it would not have happened). I now find out E.C. is an anti-vaxxer and he is known by many as an arrogant ass. Therefore I give to E.C. the 'Piss-off Forever' award. Over-rated guitarist as well.

I think about this, periodically. The folks who were young in the 60s-70s, the ones that shouted to not trust anyone over thirty - they're all The Establishment now and what did they do with that responsibility, that idealism?
They dropped the ball and became hypocrites, most of them.

I always thought he was the best Beatle.
I Want To Tell You that there's just Something about how his Guitar Gently Weeps that resonates Within You and Without You and is as comfortable as an Old Brown Shoe. It can even get you to forget about the Taxman.
Just my opinion, though.
The underrated Beatle. A good balance to the others.

Sure works for 2020

Never spend your youth more than %50... you must live better.

8 down to 6
So The Beatles, who were ruling the world, could have any man/woman they chose, any drug they wanted, any politician in their pocket...
and Harrison remains grounded, humble, and spiritual. What a feat. What a great tune. These were complex times and for h im to be such a centering force for the Fabs was no small thing.

I can't say that I have ever heard this before, and it is wonderful...
Haven't heard this in such a long time. So simple yet so great. For me, it out shines much of Lennon and even more so McCartney
LOVE this George Harrison song. One of the best songs of all time. I really needed to hear it today. Give me hope with this heavy load. Thanks RP for playing it.
Ahhhh.....my favorite Beatle!!!
This is one of those songs that always pops into my head when I need it. Love love love love
i miss beatle george....
This is a lovely song from a marvelous album...
Many thanks, George. Damn those cigarettes, you knucklehead, you might still be here making fabulous music.
How can you be in a bad mood when you hear this song?
This song is soooo good for the heart...
Sounds to me as if you are discussing two different kinds of overconsumption here. DrLex seems to talk about collective overconsumption, i.e. not enough earth for all these people to live on, so collectively human kind overconsumes the resources offered by the planet. The others here seem to talk about overconsumption by an individual.

Beautiful song from a beautifual man. Taken too soon - by my account but probably not by his.
Happy Birthday George!

George Harrison performing "Bangladesh" during the concert for Bangladesh at 1971, Madison Square Garden.
MAGIC!
My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies
Although I couldn't feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now I'm asking all of you
To help us save some lives
Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
Now won't you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Such a great disaster - I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I've never known such distress
Now please don't turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Relieve Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
It's something we can't neglect
It's something I can't neglect
Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Here's an example of a singer with a mediocre to okay voice, but it makes for a great song.

Would you rather have a massive amount of people who constantly need to live on the edge, with an imminent risk of disaster when something unexpected disturbs the fragile equilibrium, or a reasonable amount of people who can all enjoy a life without draconian restrictions and with enough leeway when things don't go as planned?
Except for abiding to our insatisfiable instinct to procreate, there is no advantage whatsoever in endlessly increasing the population.

I would argue the real issue is overconsumption, not overpopulation. And it's the developed countries responsible for that.Overconsumption is just a consequence of overpopulation. Above a certain population density, it becomes impossible to survive without overconsuming.

If you examine the original artwork and album materials that came with this LP, its pretty obvious that this is what he's getting at. George was a devotee of Sri Krishna, and the LP contains painting of the famous Krishna chariot scene from the Bhagavad Gita. The lyrics express a weariness of the world and its burdens—faith and devotion to a Sacred Person enables that person to be freed from samsara through grace.
Great joke concealed in the bottom back of the album cover. Its a messsage advertising a fan club for G.H.—almost an exact parody of the language on a then-recent Paul McCartney and Wings album cover.- It asks the listener to send a self-addressed stamped elephant.
I always that it meant "keep me free from (re) birth ..." as in attaining enlightenment and escaping the cycle of rebirth / reincarnation ... George being a Hindu and all ...

Actually, nowadays European countries are PAYING couples to have children because the birth rates have fallen below replacement levels.

Listening to the guitar intro and it occurred to me how very very unique his sound was. There was nobody else it could have been. I only mention it because I guess when I was younger, the Beatles were:
John: The deep guy... man can he write a song
Paul: The happy musical genius with an awesome hook
Ringo: The clown... a fun guy if you met him (I guessed)
George: Um... he plays guitar for them right?
He was (relatively) quiet, unassuming, and I had absolutely no idea what a huge influence he was on the treasure that was the Beatles. Only now, when he's gone, have I started to appreciate this. What can I say, I'm often late to the party :)
Quite sublime
