Down.... and Out

[FPSHOT]

Which Harrisong will you play when you feel blue and want to get out of that and feel green or pink or orange again LOL.

Knowing that when you play that song, you will feel better right away

[sourmilkpinky]

no doubt about it....Here Comes The Sun

[beatlebangs1964]

I Want to Tell You and Here Comes the Sun.

[SandySunshine]

It's All Too Much.

[saziontherun]

Wah Wah or What Is Life

[Jocelyn]

It's something I've been having to do a lot lately LOL

Usually Here Comes The Sun or Blow Away ... although the whole of ATMP is good too.

[darkhorse]

"Here Comes The Sun" seems to be the popular choice around here. I might also add "This Is Love"; one of those refreshing songs that never gets old despite of sounding very 80's.

[biglou114]

Blow Away, Faster, Gone Troppo, ATMP, Heading for the Light, the list goes on and on

I Want to Tell You

I actually find the lyrics to this song to be quite depressing. To me the lyrics express perfectly the quiet desperation in not being able to express yourself the way you want to. The song has a deep meaning to me because I am able to relate exactly to what is being said in this song. I just can't anything uplifting about the lyrics at all.

Is it the music in the song that you find uplifting?

I would like to hear your take on this song.

[rwbarnes]

Stuck Inside A Cloud for me because it reminds me of how much courage George had to face his own mortality and the impending loss of his wife and son.

This song makes me grateful for everything that I have every time I hear it.

It is one of my all time favorite songs. I think the lyrics are brilliant and ones that I can readily identify with. However, I never found it depressing. Rather, I found it quite uplifting because it expressed my exact sentiments far better than I ever could.

George's music has certainly helped many. A while back I told how a young girl with Asperger's Syndrome let George "talk" for her. She absolutely loved George and would quote whole reams of interviews; knew the lines from the Beatle movies and, when at a loss for words, found something appropriate that George Harrison had said. He certainly helped accelerate her language skills.

Yeah, George Harrison had the gift of expression - it came through in the way he spoke; in the colors he added to the world via gardening and art; he certainly did a lot to make this world a brighter place.

12/31- George has brought immeasurable joy into the lives of countless people. On the Random George Thoughts thread, I related a personal account of how George and his music reached a child who had Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the high end of the autism spectrum. This child absolutely LOVED George and let George "talk" for her. She was quite the Beatles expert and if you had a question about George, she was one fan you might want to consult. It still warms my heart to think of how George's words, music and example took root in her heart.

[Scouser]

"Here Comes the Sun"
"Got My Mind Set on You"
"His Name is Legs" cracks me up
"Gone Troppo" is a really good one
"Dream Away"
"Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)"
"P2 Vatican Blues"

and then the ones that make me smile and cry at the same time- like "Life Itself" and "Breath Away from Heaven"

~Layla

[Scouser]

oh, and George's version of "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" (at least I'm pretty sure thats a cover)

~Layla

[Celebrian]

Any Road

[twovirgins]

The Rising Sun
All things must pass

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

Anything from Branwashed really but especially Devil and Deep Blue Sea.

[FPSHOT]

This Is Love

Fish On The Sand

Heading For The Light

[ABCKO]

''This is love''... not only are the lyrics very ''happy'', but so is George's voice epecially on a line like ''... they also can be... overcome...''

[Lucy]

I'd Have You Anytime always makes me happy - as does Here Comes the Sun...so much so that I had IHYA play as I arrived at my wedding and HCTS for our first dance!!!

Got My Mind Set On You makes me smile too and I Dig Love. Ooh yeah and What Is Life. And that Devil and the Deep Blue Sea one. :)

[joelcrowservo]

"Marwa Blues". A good song to pray to.

[Jocelyn]

Got My Mind Set On You makes me smile too
How could I forget that one? :D And Handle With Care always makes me feel happier, too.

[FPSHOT]

Any more suggestions?

"I Really Love You" maybe?

[beatlebangs1964]

Love Comes to Everyone
Soft Touch
Soft Hearted Hana
Here Comes the Sun"
Got My Mind Set on You
Gone Troppo
Awaiting on You All
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)

*Beatle cover - George on "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You." I just LOVE that one!


Like Layla said, there are "the ones that make me smile and cry at the same time" like "What is Life" and "Breath Away from Heaven"

Strangely enough, Blow Away makes me sad... Don't know why, as it is not supposed to. :afraid2:
I'll go for an up-tempo song like Taxman. :music2:

[beatlelover45223]

I Want To Tell You
Here Comes The Sun
Any Road

these 3 are among my Favorites, there are a few more I really feel my spirit lifted by!

[Starry-eyed]

Thinking about this, there are a LOT of Harrison songs that make me get me in a good mood - and most of the above mentioned songs work for me. But I'll also add "For You Blue", and also "Miss O'Dell" - (the one where he laughs!)

[cinnamon]

I remember that when I was 12/13 (hard times!), I found Think for Yourself very empowering (I still do, actually). :music2:

[Maccalennon]

This Song. Just about the most upbeat tune he ever did.

[Siobhan]

Miss O'Dell and I Dig Love always make me smile :smile1: Got My Mind Set on You and the chorus from Blow Away are very uplifting to, and Here Comes the Sun is wonderfully optimistic. There are many, many more, but these are the ones that jump out at me.

[haris on tour]

Love Comes to everyone. You just cant beat it.

[VersusBatman]

For you blue

[Georgia]

It may sound weird, but "Cheer Down" cheers me up when I'm blue. :teeth1:

[beatlebangs1964]

"I Want to Tell You" works for me.

My church enjoys "Dear One," that beautiful prayer set to music.

[Jocelyn]

*Beatle cover - George on "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You." I just LOVE that one!
:teeth1: Me too ... I didn't think of it, since it's not actually a Harrisong, but defnitely a good one to pull you out of the dumps!
