Something
George Harrison is my favourite Beatle ever, and this is his best song ever. According to Frank Sinatra, it's the greatest love song ever written. I cannot say I disagree. It's a masterpiece of aural beauty in its slow, simple sentiment. In an oxymoronic twist of gargantuan proportions, its nonspecific lyrics underscore its clarity: the inarticulate 'something' used to explain the singer's love illustrates the unexplainable nature of the emotion. What seems like a lazy lyric at first glance is in truth the most beautiful and real expression possible.
Oh, and I can play this on the guitar. Shyea.
"Something" by the Beatles
Composed by George Harrison
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
I 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
*Gorgeous guitar solo*
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe, and how
