We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late
When they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share when we find it
To try our best to hold it there
With our love
With our love we could save the world
If they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know
They can't see
Are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see
We're all one and life flows on within you and without you
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late
When they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share when we find it
To try our best to hold it there
With our love
With our love we could save the world
If they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small

A very underrated and largely written off, at the time, song from George. Just wonderful.
For sure the day they recorded this the LSD was top quality.
“Semblance of significance”? Is an album that changed the course of songwriting insignificant? Methinks quite the opposite. You can add Revolver to this list.
I love the sitar work George plays in this song

When I first bought Pepper, I always skipped over this song.
Now, about 50 years later, I wonder “wtf was I thinking?”
Nice to hear this and have added to my favorites!

Every time I hear this song, and that includes many years of loving Indian classical, I just think the middle road it found was amazing. You wonder what the Beatles might have been had they brought in Harrison as an equal partner.
i'm constantly fascinated by the rhythm/percussion on this song.

I liked it when it came out because it was so different. Now I know these are Ravi's men with George and take time to understand the lyrics, they are spiritual. Many will never understand.

50 years later and this song still gets my full attention
I had the opportunity to listen to the new 2017 stereo mix of Sgt. Pepper (as well as one listen to most of the album in surround). It sounded very-very good. Somehow the album sounded new and fresh. The genius is even more apparent.
Very excited for the official release later this month.

A pop song almost only in the sense that it was popular.
A masterpiece. The "Fab 4" at this time changed everthing. They were no pop band at this point but leaders of change in the whole music world. For us old guys this album was a wake up call that broadened our horizons to World Music.

Ok, this is really crap.
More Beatles! More Beatles!!!!
It's hard to appreciate how radical this track was at the time of it's release. Fantastic lyric and for many of us a first taste of the exotic realm of world music. Most amazing, the whole album was done with 4-track recording, a testimony to the genius of the late, great George Martin.

Not many Fab Four tracks i don't like. I do like this with the eastern influence. Best thing is it flows into 'When I'm 64' :)
Now where cooking!!!

We were talking about the space between us all ...
Almost 50 years on and "the space between us all" seems just as wide — or perhaps even wider. It's a shame, really.
eloquent, brilliant, sublime, timeless..

i love beatle george - but this song (and "inner light") - ugh
Abbey Road is the other "...single best album of all time" for the same reasons.

Never glimpse the truth—then it's far

Allright.
All comments from the fall of 2012 must now be expunged from the official record.
This is the Beatles and this is manifestly brilliant.
Look - I can't be objective because I fell in love at 12, explored every aspect of the band deeply and the songs, the albums, the phenomenom and the individual lives mean so much more to me.
But the folks who were negative this fall are entitled to their er... opinions.

Of course I listen to it differently than I used to, but that doesn't mean it can't be meaningful, anymore.

C'mon, Bill. This cut was only interesting back in the day when the Universal Light was lit and spinning along with the doobies. Don't think I can listen to it without a lava lamp in the room. There is FAR better Classical Indian to be played than George "Mediocre Guitarist" Harrison's efforts. And the lyrics... "What trippy words, man! Far out, man! Just dig on the MESSAGE**, man! I mean, like, I am one, you are one, we are one, The West is Won, man!" This is where John Lennon went all fatuous on us.
**We are wealthy occidentals who bought into this guru bullshit.

How amazing this song was due to the fact that less than two years before they were those loveable mop-tops: the impact of George Martin upon their maturing musicianship can never be underestimated
what a relief after Jane's Addiction
Certainly, one of the greatest songs of all time.
The very epitome of "Godlike."

All bow to George's superior Kung Fu! He was soooooooo far ahead of his time.
beautiful...sensuous...hypnotic...iconic.
A thousand years ago, when I bought my first copy of Sgt Pepper - I always skipped this song, cause I thought it didn't fit on the album. Much like "Money" on Dark Side of the Moon, or "Give A Little Bit" on Quietest Moments. A 'black sheep' track.
Now, 40 years on, I love it...and strangely enough - it DOES fit on the album.

With this song, the Beatles define the literal meaning of the thematic structure of the album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... the entire album is about the barriers people put between each other, and the illusions people hide behind...
the cover of the album, which shows the Beatles as real people alongside the Sergeant Pepper's band in full consume, symbolizes the masks people hide behind— the real image of the Beatles versus the image of them in costume playing a part...
this is the best album of all time, not only because the music is soooo good, but because it is so profound...
Pink Floyd touches on the same theme, with The Wall representing the barriers that people wrap around themselves...
both albums are like Shakespeare in their high art...
Thanks, Romeo. Beside the wonderfully varied and vital music on RP, the reason I tune in is to learn something about the music I love and am being introduced to. Comments like yours make this a very fulfilling experience, day in and day out. It's grease for the grind.

This music is timeless. George, you are still, and always will be, within us.
I'm a huge Beatles fan. Yet, when this song came on when I played the album, I always skipped it. So sue me.... 
Sublime!
Inexpressibly subtle, beautiful, spiritual, emotional, sublime...
I need something to cheer me up, too.
I was thinking earlier I needed some George to cheer me up. Thanks, Bill. It's funny though, I always used to skip this song when I was a kid playing Sgt. Pepper's on my parents' "low-fi". For me, the side started with "When I'm 64". I dig it now.
And maybe all it takes is an appreciation for 'world' music. I think George opened me up to that way back when and I've never looked back. Man, there is so much great music coming from Asia, Africa, Europe, South and North America that I still don't get those folks stuck in the greatest hits of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00's.

My favorite Beatles piece from my favorite Beatle. What a great arranger and student George was!
This was the first album I actually bought. I had heard it many times since my uncle was a hugh Beatles fan, he was the prime age for it. Still have it some where, also was the first CD I got many years later.

It gets a 10. Just cuz—that's the benefits for being a Beatle song.
Usually found myself gravitating toward George songs for a bit of the "alternative" on Beatles efforts. Have grown to greatly appreciate his vision and ability to relay it through his timeless music...
...surprisingly, this is the first time i've heard the original played on RP, rather than that abomination from love - kudos!..

I hope I never get so jaded that I can't listen to a Beatles song without making a disparaging comment so I can "sound cool".

At the risk of being "uncool", I find the song pretentious and boring.
I hope I never get so jaded that I can't listen to a Beatles song without making a disparaging comment so I can "sound cool".
In the words of Keith Moon: "What a load of wankers!"

Many years ago, I used to carry the lyrics to the song in my wallet. It helped me keep a perspective on life. Not sure if that was a good thing. Still, this is a great song.

I know what you mean. There's a lot of great stuff on Sgt Pepper but I always found myself starting side 2 of the vinyl version at track 2 to give this one a miss.
Yes. I wouldn't say I hated this song, but it never did much for me other than make me impatient for it to end, as did "Love You To".

I have always hated this song and I probably always will

Pass.
In my mind it's followed with "When I'm 64"

Apparently, George Martin is to release an album of Beatles stuff mixed up... this to be "mashed" with Tomorrow Never Knows... Not sure if it is a good or bad idea.
I'm sure.

Good for you, Tony. Not everyone would be so bold as to declare their sexuality out here in public. Though I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me out of your fantasies, thanks.

When the album first came out I used to skip this song. Even though I liked George Harrison, I could never get into this one. Now that I'm over 50, it suddenly makes sense.
Thanks, George.
My experience also......

I'm amazed how well most of the Beatles music holds up, truly brilliant even now, maybe more so.
It certainly compares favorably to most of the drivel that passes for music these days.
That's right, I said drivel. Thank "god" for Radio Paradise.
Amen!
