who wrote within you without you

Absolutely fantastic. And to see you're really only very small,  .

When you've seen beyond yourself -  I hope your appreciation of the Beatles music matures because your missing out if it doesn’t. And I can only think of one element I like of the entire musical arrangement- a little repeating sitar line early in the instrumental break. I think several Harrison songs surpass McCartney/Lennon in lyricism, and Within You Without You is just beautiful. It set the tone for the 60’s that’s for sure. Georges’s “out of this world” voice and lyrics, as well as the Indian instruments and Oriental resonances invite to daydream and abandon.

You have got to be kidding! George struggling? It is for listening to relax (at least how I listen to it) it really is a great song to put on the Sgt Pepper album, probably one of the best. George “struggling ” with the guitar ?

Here George captures Eastern spirituality and mysticism masterfully on a record.

It wasn’t made to dance to. "Within You Without You" is a song written by George Harrison, released on the Beatles' 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s.

Pepper, I would have liked for this to be the opening track. The melody is annoying and never goes anywhere.

I like it personally. "We're An American Band" by Grand Funk describes real events on their 1972 tour, including an encounter with a legendary groupie called "Sweet Connie.". I understand George was rather uninterested with the majority of the album and this song is his amazing contribution to it… not to say his guitar/sitar/tampura work throughout the rest of the album isn’t also important. To try our best to hold it there - with our love  I’ve never played a sitar, but I’ve been playing guitar lately and you gain large respect for those who are talented on musical (especially stringed) instruments.

While I won’t call it unbearable or unlistenable, I will say I skip it with regularity.

With our love - we could save the world - if they only knew. Pepper, it’s a defining song for The Beatles. Then you may find peace of mind, is waiting there -  That evening Harrison also recorded his lead vocals, a sitar part and some acoustic guitar, and ‘Within You Without You’ was complete.

Harrison wrote this as a 30-minute piece that he trimmed down for the album. They were so outstanding that they couldn’t be confined in a box. Hit the Accept button to remove this message. They don't know - they can't see - are you one of them? I am fine with Indian music, and the general message of the song. First through radio play, then moving on to buying their albums.

Arguably George’s first great song. In one breath George wrote a spiritual song and in another breath he writes a secular song where he is cheesed off. Thanks Brendan. I remember thinking, “WHAAAAT!! George came up with a real gem here, and thank God, because if they had to put Only a Northern Song on Pepper,It would have detracted from the feel of the album.

This site is not associated with The Beatles, Apple Corps Ltd, related organisations, or any members of The Beatles or their representatives. George Harrison wrote this song and was the only Beatle to perform on it. I can only imagine listening to this on vinyl for the first time in 1967 and flipping the album over after the crazy circus carnival music of Mr. Kite only to hear the sitar come in to begin side 2. The song also featured on the 2006 remix album Love, in which it was blended to the rhythm track of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’.

When George wrote “and to see you’re really only very small” refers to how the Vedic literatures refers to the soul or atma as being the size of one ten thousandth the tip of a hair in size. Visit the Beatles history section. Author Simon Leng writes that "Within You Without You, and Harrison's leadership of the Beatles into Vedic philosophy, sparked the entire fashion for Indian music and a million backpackers' pilgrimages to Kashmir ..." Juan Mascaró, a professor in Sanskrit studies at Cambridge University, wrote to Harrison after the song's release, saying: "it is a moving song, and may it move the souls of millions. Going to ask my tabla teaqcher for help transcribing the tabla part.

This album is a unit. And the time will come when you see we're all one,  There is his innate talent; he brought that sound together.

This song just proves how talented, and genius and diverse ALL the Beatles were.

She’s Leaving Home is a throwaway, along with Getting Better. Also…for all you fans of this track…I highly recommend you check out the Easy Star All-Stars “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band”.

Off topic, but I agree. How well do you know your protest songs (including the one that went to #1)?

Never glimpse the truth - then it’s far too late - when they pass away.

Who gain the world and lose their soul - 

George should have had more spiritual conversations with Klaus Voorman, which was the circumstance that inspired this song. That this songs seems to serve as a natural “bumper” between the two sides of the album may be (a) happy coincidence, (b) very clever positioning by the boys or GM in selecting the order of the cuts, or perhaps someone would like to chime in with another explanation.

He’s clear on that song. Not seeing the big picture.

One of my absolute favorites.

The version of Within You, Without You is pretty stellar…the vocalist is Matisyahu, who’s main schtick is a whole reggae/hebrew spiritualism crossover (sounds strange, I know). Sgt.

Regardless, this is an important piece of music and a beautiful one at that.

Musically it is so tedious as to be mind-numbing.

I have listened to Sgt Pepper’s and to Abbey Road so many times, literally hundreds of times. While I can’t disagree with you: 1 the acid of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 2 the suburban melodrama of She’s Leaving Home (with those glorious second vocals) & 3 the brooding menace of Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite all add to the album’s unique overall effect.

Pepper. In Indian music they have 108 rhythm cycles, and they can even play in things like 7½. His mind and his music are clear.

A couple of incidents of late virtually excavated it from my memory. I used to skip this song, but for the last 5-7 years or so, it’s become one of my favorites. It would be nice to see this entry updated with their names! This is possibly my least favorite of any Beatles song.

Speaking with Timothy White in 1992, he explained how he put the song together: "That was quite a complicated one at the time because it was done in three sections, and then I edited the three sections together.

It’s for introspection and contemplation. A top 5 Beatles number. I also find the lyrics quite comforting; the thought of life going on within you and without you.. It’s a privilege being part of Life. Oh please.

He and Neil Aspinall played tamburas while Indian musicians performed traditional instruments. It’s an extraordinary piece, and deserves its place on Pepper. Pepper was released back in 1967. It isn’t for those sorts of things. Good tune. Within You Without you is one of the defining pieces of Sgt Pepper. MTV wanted Weezer to record a version of their song "Hash Pipe" as "Half Pipe" to appeal to the skateboarding crowd. The album is a track-for-track re-creation (*not* a re-mix, an actual re-creation) of Pepper’s, featuring a number of reggae and dub artists. Pepper obviously had to be the opening track on.. well, Sgt. That’s OK; everyone isn’t going to love everything…or any one thing. But that song changed my whole way of thinking after I’d listened to it several times. It is inaccurate and sectarian.

Only a northern song should be in sgt peppers.it has the same stmosphere as being for the benefit. I’ve amended the page. Of course you do.

It was then that I stopped following the negative, unyielding, organized religion of the deep south and started to think there was more out there.

Great point, Kelvin.

The laughter at the end was Harrison's idea to lighten the mood and follow the theme of the album. .

This is one of the best in the Beatles’ entire repertoire.

The Beatles Bible uses cookies to bring you a better browsing experience. Well, yeah, because 64 and Lovely Rita are such timeless masterpieces!! While some listeners initially thought it was the sound of the other Beatles mocking his songwriting effort, it was in fact meant to lighten the mood after five minutes of sad, almost mournful, music. The sound was so familiar to my soul. eval(ez_write_tag([[580,400],'beatlesbible_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_5',139,'0','0']));The song was Harrison’s second full-blown Indian recording, after Revolver’s ‘Love You To’. But this is the music that I grew up with in the 70’s!

“Those musicians are the late Anna Joshi and Amrit Gajjar (dilruba); and Sikh temple musician Buddhadev Kansara (tamboura) and Natwar Soni (tabla)”. The song is absolutely part of the package that s why there s only six tracks at the the b side and not seven as most beatles records. Can’t believe we had to listen to that.

So I did the solo in 'Within You Without You' into a 5/4, just to show how clever I was.". I can’t imagine that a guitar works as well. george was way ahead of his time when he wrote this or probably back to a better time. The acclaimed Amazon bestseller by the creator of the Beatles Bible. You leave the circus atmosphere of Mr. Kite and your carpet ride brings you eastward through India before depositing you into a 1920s caberet club for When I’m 64. The writing is just unbelievable, and there is no better LSD song in my opinion. We would share things.

It's quite complex, but I did learn this little piece, one of my exercises that I used to practice, that was in a 5/4 timing.

This song is haunting and I believe that is entirely do to George’s philosophical lyrics and the Indian backing track.

Within You departs from everything, standing light years beyond the attempts of his psychedelic contemporaries at grafting the sitar on to western music.

The song is about how the answers are inside us, so we have to look within to find them.
