Song Battle # 16: While My Guitar Gently Weeps vs. Here Comes The Sun

These are the other two great Harrisongs ( besides Something) one touches me in a sad way and the other a happy one filled with hope. I like " Here Comes The Sun"

------------------
One of my great memories of John is from when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second and then he lowered his glasses and he said: "It's only me." And then he put his glasses back on again. To me, that was John. Those were the moments when I actually saw him without the facade, the armor, which I loved as well, like anyone else. It was a beautiful suit of armor. But it was wonderful when he let the visor down and you'd just see the John Lennon that he was frightened to reveal to the world."

-Paul McCartney (on John Lennon)

"Here comes the sun".

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else is.

~If you don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another idea to get us killed, or worse expelled!
~She needs to sort of her priorities.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

I still cannot decide which one I like best, the one on White Album or the Anthology version.

------------------
Past is gone, thou canst not that recall
Future is not, may not be at all
Present is, improve the flying hour
Present only is within thy power.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps becaus of Clapton's Solo

My original idea for the cover was better, decapitate Paul, but he wouldn't go along with it
- John Lennon

I prefere: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but for getting me through my GCSEs this year I pick Here Comes the Sun.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Thank you! I was about to point that out!

"Here Comes The Sun", in this one... It's such an anthem to the symbolic return of happiness after a long period of darkness (inner darkness, outside darkness, inner wars and troubles, bad weather, great metaphores), adorned with amazing acoustic guitars arrangements, that synthesiser... Such a great song.

Although each version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" makes me shiver, I choose "Here Comes The Sun" this time.

"Take my smile and my heart, they were yours from the start
The pieces to omit are mine" ~ George, 1987

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps". The most beautiful song ever written.

------------------
Half of what I say is meaningless...

That's hard. I'll say "Here Comes the Sun"( I liked seeing him play that song on Sat.Night Live), but I do love "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" esp. the accoustic Anthology version.
