Although John Lennon and Paul McCartney — the two principal songwriting members of the band — both praised "Something" as among the best songs Harrison had written, the recording of the song was marked by acrimonious spats.

Writing and recording
During the 1968 recording sessions for The Beatles (also referred to as the White Album), Harrison began working on a song that eventually became known as "Something. " Initially based on the James Taylor song "Something In The Way She Moves," the song's first lyrics ("Something in the way she moves/Attracts me like no other lover. James Vernon Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American Singer-songwriter and Guitarist, born in Boston, Massachusetts ") were used as filler while the melody was being developed. [1] Indeed, Harrison's song is occasionally mistakenly referred to as "Something In the Way She Moves. "
Harrison later said that "I had a break while Paul was doing some overdubbing so I went into an empty studio and began to write. That's really all there is to it, except the middle took some time to sort out. It didn't go on the White Album because we'd already finished all the tracks. "[2] A demo recording of the song by Harrison from this period appears on the Beatles Anthology 3 collection, released in 1996. Anthology 3 is a Compilation album by The Beatles released in October 1996 by Apple Records as part of The Beatles Anthology
Many believe that Harrison's inspiration for "Something" was his wife at the time, Pattie Boyd. Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944 was the first wife of George Harrison of The Beatles, after whom she married Eric Clapton Boyd confirmed that inspiration in her 2007 autobiography, "Wonderful Tonight" where she wrote: "He told me, in a matter-of-fact way, that he had written it for me. " [3].
Harrison has cited other sources of inspiration. In a 1996 interview he responded to the question of whether the song was about Pattie: "Well no, I didn't (write it about her). I just wrote it, and then somebody put together a video. And what they did was they went out and got some footage of me and Pattie, Paul and Linda, Ringo and Maureen, it was at that time, and John and Yoko and they just made up a little video to go with it. Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944 was the first wife of George Harrison of The Beatles, after whom she married Eric Clapton Linda Louise McCartney (née Eastman, formerly See, September 24 1941 – April 17 1998 was an American Photographer, Musician and Maureen Cox Starkey ( August 4, 1946 &ndash December 30, 1994) was the first wife of The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. born in Tokyo on February 18 1933 is a Japanese Artist and Musician. So then, everybody presumed I wrote it about Pattie, but actually, when I wrote it, I was thinking of Ray Charles. Ray Charles Robinson ( September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) known by his Stage name Ray Charles, was an American "[4]
The original intention had been for Harrison to offer the song to Jackie Lomax, as had been done with the previous Harrison composition, "Sour Milk Sea". John Richard 'Jackie' Lomax (b 10 May 1944, Wallasey, Cheshire, England) is a British Guitarist and singer/songwriter Sour Milk Sea is a song written by George Harrison that surfaced during the sessions for The Beatles (also known as The White Album) When this fell through, the song was given to Joe Cocker (who had previously covered The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends"); his version came out two months before that of The Beatles. Joe Cocker OBE (born 20 May 1944 is an English rock / Blues Singer who came to popularity in the 1960s and is most known for his gritty " With a Little Help from My Friends " (originally titled A Little Help from My Friends) is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, released During the Get Back recording sessions for what eventually became Let It Be, Harrison considered using "Something", but eventually decided against it due to his fear that insufficient care would be taken in its recording; his earlier suggestion of "Old Brown Shoe" had not gone down well with the band. " Get Back " is a song primarily written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon/McCartney. Let It Be is the twelfth and final original album released by The Beatles. " Old Brown Shoe " is a song written by George Harrison that was first released by The Beatles as a B-side to " The Ballad of John [5] It was only during the recording sessions for Abbey Road that The Beatles began seriously working on "Something. Abbey Road is the eleventh official album released by The Beatles. "
The original draft that the Beatles used lasted eight minutes, with John Lennon on the piano towards the end (This was recorded later as Lennon was not present during the first few sessions. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born The piano is a Musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that produces sound by striking steel strings with Felt covered hammers ) The middle also contained a small counter-melody section in the draft. In Music, counter-melody (often one word countermelody) is a sequence of Notes perceived as a melody written to be played simultaneously with a more prominent Both the counter-melody and Lennon's piano piece were cut from the final version. Still, Lennon's piano was not erased totally. Some bits can be heard in the middle eight, in particular the line played downwards the C major scale, i. e. the connection passage to George's guitar solo. The erased parts of Lennon's piano section later became the basis for Lennon's song "Remember. " Remember " is a 1970 song appearing on John Lennon 's first official solo album release John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. "[1]
Structure and lyrics
The lead vocalist for "Something" was George Harrison. George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001 was an English rock Guitarist Singer - Songwriter, Author The song runs at a speed of about sixty-six beats per minute and is in common time throughout.

[7]
The theme of the song is the singer's affection for his beloved, and his uncertainty about the direction of the relationship. One reviewer described it as "an unabashedly straightforward and sentimental love song" at a time "when most of The Beatles' songs were dealing with non-romantic topics or presenting cryptic and allusive lyrics even when they were writing about love". [7]
Release and acclaim
Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, with the United States' release following on 1 October. Events 46 BC - Julius Caesar dedicates a Year 1969 ( MCMLXIX) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Events 331 BC - Alexander the Great defeats Darius III of Persia in the Battle of Gaugamela. It was the first official Beatles release to feature "Something", and performed well, topping the charts in both countries. [8][9] A few days later on 6 October, "Something" was released as a single in the United States, becoming the first Harrison composition to receive top billing on a Beatles single. Events 105 BC - Battle of Arausio: The Cimbri inflict the heaviest defeat on the Roman army of Gnaeus Mallius Maximus [10]
Although it began charting a week after its release on 18 October, doubts began to arise over the possibility of "Something" topping the American charts. Events 1009 - The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a Christian church in Jerusalem, is completely destroyed by the Fatimid It was the prevailing practice at the time to count sales and airplay of the A- and B-sides separately, which allowed for separate chart positions. With "Come Together" rivaling "Something" in popularity, it was hardly certain that either side of the single would reach number one. However, on 29 November, Billboard started factoring the combined performance of both A- and B-sides into their calculations, as one single. Events 1777 - San Jose California, is founded as el Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe See Billboard (Turkish magazine Billboard is a weekly American Magazine devoted to the Music industry The result was that "Come Together/Something" topped the American charts for a week, before eventually falling out of the charts about two months later (on the concurrent Cash Box singles chart, which continued to measure the performance on both sides of a single separately, "Something" peaked at number two while "Come Together" spent three weeks at number one). Cash Box (or Cashbox) magazine was a weekly publication devoted to the music and coin-operated machine industries which was published from July 1942 to November The single was certified Gold just three weeks after its initial release, but was not heard of again in terms of sales until 1999, when it was declared Platinum. [10]
In the United Kingdom, "Something" came out on 31 October. Events 445 BC – Ezra reads the Book of the Law to the Israelites in Jerusalem (see Nehemiah 91 NLTse It was the first Beatles single there to have a Harrison song on the A-side, and it was also the first single also feature songs already available on an album. [11] "Something" first entered the chart on 8 November, eventually peaking at number four, before falling out of the charts three months after its initial release. Events 1519 - Hernán Cortés enters Tenochtitlán and Aztec ruler Moctezuma welcomes him with great a Celebration In the UK Shirley Bassey's version also reached #4. Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey DBE (born 8 January 1937 Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh Singer. [12]
Although Harrison himself had been dismissive of the song—he later said that he "put it on ice for about six months because I thought 'that's too easy'"[13]—Lennon and McCartney both stated that they held "Something" in high regard. Lennon said "I think that's about the best track on the album, actually", while McCartney said "For me I think it's the best he's written. "[14] Both had largely ignored Harrison's compositions prior to "Something", with their own songs taking much of the limelight. Lennon later explained:
| “ | There was an embarrassing period when George's songs weren't that good and nobody wanted to say anything. He just wasn't in the same league for a long time — that's not putting him down, he just hadn't had the practice as a writer that we'd had. "[12] | ” |
Despite this, things were not going well for the band. The recording of Abbey Road had been marked by numerous arguments among the band members, and their last album — Let It Be — comprised abandoned recordings from the Get Back sessions instead of any new work. Let It Be is the twelfth and final original album released by The Beatles. By the time the promotional video for "Something" was being shot, the individual Beatles had drawn apart; the film consisted of separate clips of each Beatle walking around his home, accompanied by his wife, edited together. [12] Shortly after the release of Let It Be in 1970, The Beatles announced their break-up.
That same year, "Something" received the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. The Ivor Novello Awards, named after the Cardiff born entertainer Ivor Novello, are Awards for Songwriting and Composing. [15] It also began accumulating cover versions from other artists, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, The O'Jays, and even Ray Charles, who Harrison originally had in mind as the singer when he wrote "Something". In Popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition ( Performance or Recording) of a previously recorded commercially released Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12 1915 &ndash May 14 1998 was an American singer and actor The O'Jays are a Philadelphia soul group originally consisting of Walter Williams (born August 25, 1942) Bill Isles Bobby Massey William Powell Ray Charles Robinson ( September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) known by his Stage name Ray Charles, was an American Harrison nevertheless later said that his favourite cover versions were those of James Brown (B-Side of 45 Think ['73]/Something; Polydor PD-14185; 1973) and Smokey Robinson. James Joseph Brown Jr (May 3 1933 – December 25 2006 commonly referred to as "The Godfather of Soul" the "King of Funk" and "The William "Smokey" Robinson Jr (born February 19 1940 is an American R&B and soul Singer-songwriter, Record producer, [1]
Frank Sinatra was particularly impressed with "Something". Calling it "the greatest love song ever written", he sang it hundreds of times at various concerts. A concert is a live Performance, usually of Music, before an Audience. However, he once made the comment that "Something" was his all-time favourite Lennon-McCartney song [16], and frequently introduced it as a Lennon/McCartney composition (the joke being that it was written by Harrison). Harrison did not appear to mind this, and instead borrowed an alteration to the lyric that Sinatra had made. Where the original song was "You stick around now it may show", Sinatra sang "You stick around, Jack, she might show. " This change was eagerly adopted by Harrison, who used the same lyrics whenever he performed "Something" as part of his touring repertoire. [17]
"Something" continues to garner accolades from the musical establishment years after its release, with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) website naming it as the 64th-greatest song ever. According to the BBC, "'Something' shows more clearly than any other song in The Beatles canon that there were three great songwriters in the band rather than just two. "[13] The Beatles' official website itself said that "Something" "underlined the ascendancy of George Harrison as a major song writing force". [18] In 1999, Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) named "Something" as the 17th-most performed song of the 20th century, with five million performances in all. Broadcast Music Incorporated ( BMI) is a US Performing rights organization. Other Beatles songs on the list were "Yesterday" and "Let It Be", both attributed to Lennon and McCartney. "Let It Be" is a song by The Beatles, released in March 1970 as a single and as the Title track of their album Let It Be. [19] In 2004, "Something" was ranked number 273 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published
In 2002, after Harrison's death, McCartney and Eric Clapton performed "Something" at the Concert for George. Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945 is an English Blues-rock Guitarist, singer Songwriter and Composer The Concert for George was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 29 November 2002 as a memorial to George Harrison on the first Their performance was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. The Grammy Awards (originally called the Gramophone Awards)—or Grammys —are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences The Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals has been awarded since 1995 [20] McCartney also performed the song using just a ukulele on his "Back in The US" and "Back in the World" tours. Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942 is an English rock Singer, Bass guitarist songwriter Composer, The ukulele (ˌjʉːkəˈlɛɪli from ʻukulele /ˌʔukuˈlele/ variantly spelled ukelele (particularly in the UK) or alternatively abbreviated uke The Song Was Also Preformed as a Tribute to Harrison By McCartney in 2008 at the Liverpool Sound Concert, inwhich he preforms the song in a simular fashion to that of the Concert for George, starting off with only a ukele for accompniment then after the bridge, being joined by the full band to conclude the song simulary to that of the origanal recording. . [21][22][23] Bob Dylan likewise played the song live as a tribute for Harrison following his death. Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman, May 24 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American singer-songwriter author poet and painter who has been a major [24][25]
