“According to John Lennon, this was the best song on the album.”
song ~ “Something”
artist ~ The Beatles
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how (Image source)
Comments
Having labored in the long shadows of the Lennon / McCartney songwriting duo, George Harrison has been referred to as “the Ringo Starr of The Beatles.” However, fine compositions such as this song belie that opinion.
Best of The Beatles
After this song appeared on the 1969 album Abbey Road, Harrison was finally seen as a composer who could rival John Lennon and Paul McCartney. In fact, Lennon said that “Something” was the best song on the album.
Love of Life
While the song is generally believed to have been inspired by Pattie Boyd, his wife at the time, Harrison later clarified that she may not have been the sole source of inspiration. Although we may never know for sure who inspired it, we can be certain the source of inspiration was an ineffable and overwhelming love. (Image source)
