Northern Sung

The Beatles & sang songs written by George Harrison

The following are all Beatles songs originally Written and sung by the "Quiet Beatle" George Harrison. They are in alphabetical order. Note that I do not count as songs of the Beatles – that were originally in their solo albums and later included in the Anthology series (like "All Things Must Pass" – evenough I love the Anthology 3 version.)

"Blue Jay Way" – Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

This was one of the songs of the Beatles most overtly psychedelic. It was when they threw the "kitchen sink" on their studio recordings. While this is certainly not one of the most Beatles songs – I do appreciate it. Mainly due to the experimental studio, I mean.

"Do not Bother Me" – With The Beatles (1963)

First Harrison song on a Beatles album. Not particularly memorable, but not bad.

"For You Blue – Let It Be (1970)

A nice little song, although not one of my favorites.

"Here Comes The Sun – Abbey Road (1969)

One of the Beatles all the classics. During the late 60s Harrison was at his best as a composer. The evidence is there in songs like this and in his first major solo, 1970, "All Things Must Pass.

"I Me Mine – Let It Be (1970)

Not one of my favorites, although it has some interesting aspects to it.

"I Need You" – Help! (1965)

I always loved this song. In fact, I am a big fan of all the songs of Harrison at this time (help!, Rubber Soul and Revolver)

"I mean I" – Revolver (1966)

Another song I always liked Harrison. He shifted his cool this makes quite unique.

"If I Needed Someone – Rubber Soul (1965)

The Beatles by the Byrds.

"It's All Too Much" – (1968 Yellow Submarine)

The best reason to buy the tape Original Yellow Submarine (or better still, the much-improved "Songtrack" released in 1999.) This is one of the great lesser-known Beatles songs. Really psychedelic. The production is impressive. There is no song that sounds quite like that.

"Long, Long, Long" — (1968 The White Album)

The perfect follow-up of "Helter Skelter". The Beatles from the incredibly high so incredibly quiet, just like that. A beautiful song.

"Love You To" – Revolver (1966)

Many people in the experiment Indian music of Harrison. Not me. I dig it.

"Old Brown Shoe" – B-Side of "Ballad of John & Yoko" (1969)

You can hear the masters Vol. 2 album or "Blue" Greatest Hits. I recommend the Past Masters collections so that they do not get many songs twice. Past Masters (Volumes 1 and 2) to collect all the songs that the Beatles were single / EPS and are not available in the UK Official Beatles album.

"Only a Northern Song" – Yellow Submarine (1968)

Of the 4 new songs on the soundtrack of Yellow Submarine, 2 of them were George. (Which is good) and "It's All Too Much" (which is impressive.)

"Piggies" – (1968 The White Album)

Wonderfully strange as most of the rest of the album White that is, in my opinion, most of the Beatles album.

"Savoy Truffle" – (1968 The White Album)

It actually took me a long time to reach this song, but now I think is pretty big. He is a producer.

"Something" – Abbey Road (1969)

Favorite Frank Sinatra "Lennon-McCartney song. If he really said that. To this day I do not know if it was a dig at Lennon-McCartney or if you really did not know it was not written.

"The Inner Light "- B-Side of" Lady Madonna "(1968)

It can be heard on Past Masters, Volume Two. All instrumentation was by Indian musicians Indian instruments. The instrumental track was recorded in Bombay, India.

"Taxman" – Revolver (1966)

Paul McCartney plays it the leader in this part of the guitar. Quick noisy guitar solos McCartney was inspired by Jimi Hendrix that was mostly unknown at the time.

"Think for Yourself – Rubber Soul (1965)

Always seemed be a little more of a brother Lennon, "The Word" the same album.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" – (1968 The White Album)

Features Eric Clapton on guitar. One of Harrison

Within You Without You "- Sgt Pepper (1967)

The most fully Beatles song like that. For me it is an essential part of sergeant. Pepper. It was just compositions Harrison / Lead vocals legendary contribution to the album.

"You Like Me Too Much" – Help! (1965)

Pretty catchy song – like some of the vocal parts, but the writing is pretty bad. There is a Harrison climax.

George Harrison wrote three of the songs on 1966’s Revolver.

The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box is a “must buy” for all Beatles fans.
