George Harrison - Isn't It A Pity (Version 1) Lyrics

Master Musician. May his songs travel through the universe forever.

Sad times sad songs

George was a legend even without the Beatles

He Fucked Ringo's wife

221 person had serious problems!

George Harrison surrounded by the Time Bandits cast.

The way you left us wasn't just a pity it was a damn shame RIP!!!

You may be gone but not your songs. Your songs will be around forever. Thanks George for bringing back great memories!!

Pierre Delanoë and Gilbert Bécaud didn't write this song. (See: writers)

George emerged from the huge weight of the Beatles and became a songwriter of genius. This album is without doubt the greatest of all the solo Beatle releases. John and Paul did record some sublime music but this is in a realm all of its own. God keep you George and thank you for such beauty.

Anyone who says George wasn't the best Beatle is a fucking idiot

I urge you, if you haven't done so before, to hear Nina Simone's version of this wonderful song.

Thank you, George.

The "quiet one" wasn't as quiet as we thought, after all.

I think they used like four or five grand pianos to record this track... very sweeping and emotional feeling to the entire thing -- the production doesn't get in the way. In fact, it augments the feeling of it.

3rd solo album? I was sure this was his FIRST solo album 1970. not including Wonderwall. ALso This was a triple album with extra material jam session stuff on the third disk.

Dedicated to thou oust' Queen, one amongst the many, the one true terror of our time. And now what pity this, after all has't said and done, and spent your six?

You were my favorite Beatle George. I miss you and I love you and I’ll meet with you someday in heaven.🙏

yes george

Isn’t it a pity we kill each other, isn’t it a shame we become so stupid , isn’t it a pity ...the list goes on and on

Stevie Nicks befriended George Harrison in 1978 and I heard they recorded a few tracks together in Sausolito California in March of 1978. Would Sell my kidney to hear these songs!

Spector took a spare demo and made this a masterpiece, he doesn't get enough credit for producing this. I realize he's credited as "co producer," but the last 4 minutes are all Phil, and it elevates the song to an ethereal level.

"Isn't It a Pity (Version Two)". Harrison wrote the song in 1966, but it was rejected for inclusion on releases by the Beatles.

This is true beauty

Gnone but not forgotten.

Essa canção é um bom resumo sobre a minha vida nos últimos anos... Há o lamento, dor, raiva e mágoa de uma forma muito lúcida. Exatamente quando tudo o q sobrou foram escombros e outras ruínas e vc senta no chão de uma casa vazia com ecos.

I'm joining John: Isn't it a pity that you are gone, isn't it a pity that we can't hear you sing this song, isn't it a pity we can't learn from you, isn't it a pity you never knew just how much we all loved you....such a pity, but we are blessed with what you gave us all, thank you George.

I feel as if George is the messenger of what it means to love, as earned by his willingness to face the truth on behalf of those that have yet to experience it for themselves, much like any good piece of philosophy. The song guides you through the same experience of understanding love that George must have had and that we instinctively may know. By channeling the understanding and intuitions that we all already know and feel deep in our guts, We can hear your work and feel the pleasure of crying tears of sadness. Simply because we are no longer neglecting the innocent yearnings of our hearts. Instead, we finally acknowledge the gut feeling we have always known, and fall back in love with the simplicity and completeness of our desires in life: To love and Be loved.


Honesty is the most expensive gift, and this man gave it all away to anyone who will listen. Couple this philosophy of love with a true talent for expression, and the genius is understood universally without any effort at all. Only as a raw instinct. Thank you George, Love you too.

Dyllon Harrison Morrison super nova's always freeing ,teaching respectful music ahhhhhh ty to all the greats n small alike xo

There are some really enjoyable solo Beatle albums but ATMP and Band on the Run are the best imo. ATMP is full of quality songs , some songs which George wrote during the late Beatle years but couldn't get on albums. When he wrote Something and Here Comes the Sun on Abbey Road John and Paul finally recognised his songwriting. God Bless George , Hare Krishna , much loved and much missed.

Your are always in our heart.

I love this song. 😁 it's makes my day?

What could have ended up a monotonous dirge soars to the mountaintops because of Phil Spector's majestic production. After getting hooked by the pulse of the opening keyboards, you get carried off into the clouds, and this seven minute song stays transfixing to the last seconds of the fadeout. Sector's production sometimes misses (Wah-Wah is muddy and overkill), but here it's magnificent.

Best 3 set album I’ve ever owned.

Great song :)

Some things take so long, and how can I explain. That’s life and growing up, some people never get there. And that is a pity.❤️

Best solo LP the beatles never made together !!!

A masterpiece of a song !! just magnificent George we need you!! You are deeply missed and loved by many the world is not the same without you your greatness shines you are in cloud nine singing with the angels happiness always up the irons maiden manic🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

It is such a pity You are gone, but thankfully your songs remain.

Ben Gerson of Rolling Stone described the sound as "Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of mountain tops and vast horizons."

I love Phil Spector's "Wagnerian" production on this track !

simply beautiful

LOVE this song! It was his double A-Side 45 with the other great song "My Sweet Lord". The song Piano driven, Like "Hey Jude" both over 7 mins long, whose beginning is the broken thirds of John's 'I Am the Walrus' and whose end is the decadent, exultant last half of Paul's 'Hey Jude'" I considers "Isn't It a Pity" a "remarkably non-judgmental commentary on the disintegration of the Beatles'spirit". This was one of Georges three most favorite tunes on the album..The other two "Run of the Mill" and "Awaiting on You All".  🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂🚶‍

George Harrison's song just takes me places,it just sweep me up off of my feet from off the ground!!!!!

What a gift he was, Yes they all where, My favorite by George

The individual Beatles always remind us to love is the greatest thing, and we put ourselves on the line when when we do. We can!

It's my youth. I still watch the DVD S I got. He passed away the year when my life changed due to an motorcycle accident. I should've passed away and not him.😢

18 years ago George passed 🎸🙏😪

조지의음악은 비틀즈 해체 후 부터 시작이다

Went from Listening to Klaatu to this song. Even Youtube is in on the conspiracy

IS 7512 IS "US" ..
AL'WAYS MEANT WHAT ..
♥️♥️,

ÉXTASIS EMBRIAGANTE A LO QUE TE LLEVA ESTA SUPERROLA DEL GRAN AMIGO GEORGE!!!

One of his best albums. R.I.P. George. And thank you for sharing your heart n soul with us.🙏🙏🙏🙏

*Brillante Meisterwerke, das ganze Album wird erschaudern! / Heindrich aus Aschaffenburg*

the song reflects on the beatles break up

The Original is from Nina Simone...!!! Didn't know it until now

Oh no, its the opposite way. Nina Simone covered George Harrison.

The nicest Beatle......

Wonderful song by wonderful George

Gorgeous song, Gorgeous George ❤️

talk about a weeping guitar!

i feel lucky to be around when George Harrison was making music

we walked the Earth with the Beatles!! We will always be the chosen ones! How lucky we were! Imagine it's year 2133, Wouldn't you be listening to songs like this and going "wow imangine what it must've been like to be alive in the 70s and all of the sudden you're listening to the radio and the DJ is announcing George Harrison's new single...and you and your friends are like yeah I heard they broke up..nah they broke up but theyll get back together. I knew it was special times. We were so lucky. We are also the ones who had to watch the originators of rock die off one by one. When the authentic musicians are all gone we will be issued little robots that can create little noises for us to find entertainment in.

Personally I think we were around when some of the greatest music was made. I'll always remember this song along with my favs of the time like Neil Young Harvest, pink Floyd Dark side of the Moon, Deep Purple Machine Head etc. etc.

You were man, you were

It is a pity I never had a chance to say THANK YOU

MAGNIFICO, MAGISTRAL, SUBLIME, SOBERBIO,...........

Jon Goti for you.

Love you George.🌟

George was sad for many years to be overlooked by Paul and John as a songwriter.

George was the third best songwriter in the Beatles. Let that sink in.

Thanks George...

A song to be sung for this era.
Now more than ever we need
the VIBRATION.
Resonate this note.

Ah! A photo from the time when George Harrison briefly became a well aerobicized garden gnome, on his way to transforming into Gandalf.

The Spiritual Beatle💚

The World misses you George Harrison.

I just ran across this song. I'm listening for the second time as I type this. Isn't it amazing that song from so long ago, can touch people in 2019. It's sad sometimes when I think about how the music these days sound the same. It doesn't have any soul, or make any sense. Don't get me wrong there're some amazing artist today. But not like back in the days.

greeting from the third word.... el salvador, central america

amazing song wow .. my favorite beatle

Paul had the harmonies but George will always be my fav Beatle........rip

His Best Album

Families must stick together Isn"t a Pity some don"t SAD

Thanks,George..

"All Things Must Pass" George's personal Sgt. Pepper. that was all his!

Wonder music, wonder words, wonderful to think about. So sad to have lost one of the wondekinder of this planet. Isn't it a pity?

Stunning! Gorgeous in every way. Hypnotic. And sad. Do not operate heavy machinery when listening to this.

The recording techniques, effects, and mastering are slush. Sorry.

no worries, no one really cares anyways

Sorry for you if you can't appreciate this wonderful piece of music and humanity.

George simplicity with his chosen words come from the heart not the mind—and his heart was open to the world—Hare Krishna

This is probably in my top 5 all time favourite songs, it's not the best song ever written, but it does something to me

Definitely a master piece! All his songs are! Dark Horse for sure💜🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🌻😎

A lovely man past through our lives.

Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees played piano on this.

Bit of Hey Jude in there! :)

Tiene mis botas Hunter

賢者モードの際お世話になっております

One of the very best compositions in modern music ! George was just a brilliant writer and in this case he went beyond brilliant !!! All Things Must Pass is the greatest Beatle solo album imo (and yeah i know that's a very subjective subject and opinion but I stand by it !!!)

Quando uscì il 45 giri preferivo ascoltare Isn't it a pity migliaia di volte, assolutamente straordinaria.

Phil Spectors great production makes this song what it is.

The Beatles were offered this tune they said NO!
