Frases de George Harrison

George Harrison fue un músico multiinstrumentista, compositor, cantautor, productor musical, productor cinematográfico y actor británico, guitarrista y cantante de la banda de rock The Beatles. Aunque John Lennon y Paul McCartney fueron los principales compositores dentro del grupo, Harrison también incluyó composiciones propias en los discos de The Beatles, tales como «I Need You», «Taxman», «I Me Mine», «Within You Without You», «While My Guitar Gently Weeps», «Something» y «Here Comes the Sun».

Las influencias musicales más tempranas de Harrison incluyeron músicos como Big Bill Broonzy, Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Ry Cooder y Buddy Holly. En 1965, fue pionero en introducir música hindú en occidente a través de instrumentos como el sitar, que tocó en canciones como «Norwegian Wood » y «Within You Without You». Harrison tuvo también un especial interés por la cultura y religión hindú a través del movimiento Hare Krishna e introdujo a sus compañeros de The Beatles a la filosofía oriental a través del maharishi Mahesh Yogi, determinante en la evolución musical del grupo desde la grabación de The White Album .

Tras la disolución de The Beatles, Harrison publicó All Things Must Pass , el primer álbum de un beatle en solitario que alcanzó el primer puesto en la lista Billboard 200. Este álbum contó con la participación de varios músicos, entre ellos Ringo Starr a la batería y Eric Clapton a la guitarra.[3]​ La producción estuvo a cargo del mismo George Harrison y Phil Spector, quien trabajó junto a los Beatles en el álbum Let It Be. También organizó, con Ravi Shankar, The Concert for Bangla Desh , el primer concierto benéfico de la historia de la música rock y precursor de eventos benéficos como Live Aid. A lo largo de su carrera obtuvo varios éxitos musicales con sencillos como «My Sweet Lord», «What is Life», «Give Me Love » y «Got My Mind Set on You», participó como guitarrista en grabaciones de una larga lista de músicos y grupos como Badfinger, Ronnie Wood, Billy Preston y Eric Clapton, y cofundó con Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison y Tom Petty el supergrupo Traveling Wilburys. Su trayectoria musical ha sido reconocida con varios premios: entró en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll de forma póstuma en 2006, y la revista Rolling Stone lo situó en el puesto 11 de la lista de los cien guitarristas más grandes de todos los tiempos.[4]​

De forma paralela a su trabajo como músico, Harrison también trabajó como productor musical y cinematográfico. En 1974 fundó Dark Horse Records, un sello independiente bajo el que publicó sus discos desde Thirty Three & 1/3 hasta Brainwashed , y creó HandMade Films, una productora que financió largometrajes como La vida de Brian y Time Bandits.

Harrison contrajo matrimonio en dos ocasiones: con Pattie Boyd, de quien se divorció en 1977, y con Olivia Trinidad Arias, con quien tuvo su primer y único hijo, Dhani. En noviembre de 2001, Harrison falleció a los 58 años tras sufrir un cáncer de pulmón, y sus cenizas fueron esparcidas en una ceremonia privada en los ríos Ganges y Yamuna. Wikipedia

George Harrison: Frases en inglés

“My idea in "My Sweet Lord," because it sounded like a "pop song," was to sneak up on them a bit.”

Interview with Mukunda Goswami (4 September 1982)
Contexto: My idea in "My Sweet Lord," because it sounded like a "pop song," was to sneak up on them a bit. The point was to have the people not offended by "Hallelujah," and by the time it gets to "Hare Krishna," they're already hooked, and their foot's tapping, and they're already singing along "Hallelujah," to kind of lull them into a sense of false security. And then suddenly it turns into "Hare Krishna," and they will all be singing that before they know what's happened, and they will think, "Hey, I thought I wasn't supposed to like Hare Krishna!"

“Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you.”

Think for Yourself (1965)
Lyrics
Contexto: Do what you want to do,
And go where you're going to.
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you.

“If there's a God, I want to see Him.”

Introduction to Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (1970) by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Contexto: If there's a God, I want to see Him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof, and Krishna consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain God perception. In that way you can see, hear and play with God. Perhaps this may sound weird, but God is really there next to you.

“I wasn't getting into any of that.”

When asked about John Lennon's feelings towards his autobiography, interview with Selina Scott on West 57th Street, aired 12 December 1987
Contexto: He was annoyed 'cause I didn't say that he'd written one line of this song "Taxman." But I also didn't say how I wrote two lines of "Come Together" or three lines of "Eleanor Rigby," you know? I wasn't getting into any of that. I think, in the balance, I would have had more things to be niggled with him about than he would have had with me!

“Even now I still meet waiters in Bengali restaurants who say, "When we were in the jungle fighting, it was great to know somebody out there was thinking of us."”

– George Harrison, 1991 in Elliot J. Huntley, Mystical One: George Harrison – After the Break-up of the Beatles, Guernica Editions (Toronto, ON, 2006; ISBN 1-55071-197-0).

“Little darling,
It's been a long cold lonely winter.”

Here Comes the Sun (1969)
Lyrics
Contexto: Little darling,
It's been a long cold lonely winter.
Little darling,
It feels like years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun...

“I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front.”

Interview with Selina Scott on West 57th Street (aired 12 December 1987)
Contexto: I had no ambition when I was a kid other than to play guitar and get in a rock 'n' roll band. I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front. Like in the Beatles, I was the one who kept quiet at the back and let the other egos be at the front.

“I don't mind anybody dropping out of anything, but it's the imposition on somebody else I don't like.”

Quoted in Dark Horse: The Life and Art of George Harrison, Geoffrey Giuliano, Da Capo Press, , p. 80. http://books.google.com/books?id=0PLygywwfL8C&pg=PA80&dq=if+you+drop+out+you+put+yourself+further+away+from+the+goal+of+life+than+if+you+were+to+keep+working&hl=en&sa=X&ei=0a6NT_nKD6PC2QX434mQDA&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=if%20you%20drop%20out%20you%20put%20yourself%20further%20away%20from%20the%20goal%20of%20life%20than%20if%20you%20were%20to%20keep%20working&f=false
Contexto: I don't mind anybody dropping out of anything, but it's the imposition on somebody else I don't like. The moment you start dropping out and then begging off somebody else to help you, then it's no good. It doesn't matter what you are as long as you work. It doesn't matter if you chop wood as long as you chop and keep chopping. Then you get what's coming to you. You don't have to drop out. In fact, if you drop out you put yourself further away from the goal of life than if you were to keep working.

“I expected them to all be nice and clean and friendly and happy … (on the contrary, I discovered them to be) hideous, spotty little teenagers.”

Expressing disenchantment with the "Summer of Love" hippies of San Francisco's famous “hippie haven” i.e., the Haight-Ashbury district, which he visited on August 7, 1967.
Quoted in Dark Horse: The Life and Art of George Harrison, Geoffrey Giuliano, Da Capo Press, , p. 80. http://books.google.com/books?id=0PLygywwfL8C&pg=PA80&dq=%22hideous,+spotty+little+teenagers%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2Z6NT6-RM6Wr2AW8maGMDA&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22hideous%2C%20spotty%20little%20teenagers%22&f=false
Contexto: I'd thought it would be something like King's Road [London], only more. Somehow I expected them all to own their own little shops. I expected them to all be nice and clean and friendly and happy … (on the contrary, I discovered them to be) hideous, spotty little teenagers.

“The things we've done, they were our ambitions, say 9 months ago.”

Asked for his greatest ambition. Pop Chronicles, Show 28 - The British Are Coming! The British Are Coming!: The U.S.A. is invaded by a wave of long-haired English rockers. Part 2 http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19783/m1/, ( 1964 https://archive.is/ty0cr, broadcast 1969 http://classicdjradioscrapbook.blogspot.com/2009/04/krla-pop-chronicles-program-1969-2-of-2.html).
Contexto: If you'd have asked me that question, 9 months ago, well, I would have been able to say, to come to America, to have a number one hit in America, and to play Carnegie Hall, to play the Palladium, to play in front of the Queen, and all that.... The things we've done, they were our ambitions, say 9 months ago.

“One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality.”

Introduction to Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (1970) by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada; this paraphrases some statements from An Autobiography of a Yogi (1948) by Paramahansa Yogananda
Contexto: From the Hindu perspective, each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality.
