O Valencia!
" O Valencia!" is the fifth single by the indie rock band
The Decemberists, and the first released from their fourth studio album," The Crane Wife".
The music was written by The Decemberists and the lyrics by Colin Meloy.
It tells a story of two star- crossed lovers.
The singer falls in love with a person who belongs to an opposing gang.
At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother( the singer's" sworn enemy") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.
George Harrison
George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English musician, singer-songwriter, and music and film producer who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles.
Sometimes called "the quiet Beatle", Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in the Beatles' work.
Although the majority of the band's songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, most Beatles albums from 1965 onwards contained at least two Harrison compositions.
His songs for the group included "TaxmanWithin You Without YouWhile
My Guitar Gently WeepsHere Comes the Sun" and "Something".
Harrison's earliest musical influences included George Formby and Django Reinhardt; Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins and Chuck Berry were subsequent influences.
By 1965, he had begun to lead the Beatles into folk rock through his interest in Bob Dylan and the Byrds, and towards Indian classical music through his use of the sitar on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)".
Having initiated the band's embracing of Transcendental Meditation in 1967, he subsequently developed an association with the Hare Krishna movement.
After the band's break-up in 1970, Harrison released the triple album "All Things Must Pass", a critically acclaimed work that produced his most successful hit single, "My Sweet Lord", and introduced his signature sound as a solo artist, the slide guitar.
He also organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, a precursor to later benefit concerts such as Live Aid.
In his role as a music and film producer, Harrison produced acts signed to the Beatles' Apple record label before founding Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founding HandMade Films in 1978.
Harrison released several best-selling singles and albums as a solo performer.
In 1988, he co-founded the platinum-selling supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.
A prolific recording artist, he was featured as a guest guitarist on tracks by Badfinger, Ronnie Wood and Billy Preston, and collaborated on songs and music with Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr and Tom Petty, among others. "
Rolling Stone" magazine ranked him number 11 in their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
He is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee – as a member of the Beatles in 1988, and posthumously for his solo career in 2004.
Harrison's first marriage, to model Pattie Boyd in 1966, ended in divorce in 1977.
The following year he married Olivia Arias, with whom he had a son, Dhani.
Harrison died from lung cancer in 2001 at the age of 58, two years after surviving a knife attack by an intruder at his Friar Park home.
His remains were cremated and the ashes were scattered according to Hindu tradition in a private ceremony in the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in India.
He left an estate of almost £100 million.
Living in the Material World (song)
"Living in the Material World" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released as the title track of his 1973 album.
In the song's lyrics, Harrison contrasts the world of material concerns with his commitment to a spiritual path, and the conflict is further represented in the musical arrangement as the rock accompaniment alternates with sections of Indian sounds.
Inspired by Gaudiya Vaishnava teacher
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the song promotes the need to recognise the illusory nature of human existence and escape the constant cycle of reincarnation, and thereby attain moksha in the Hindu faith.
The contrasts presented in "Living in the Material World" inspired the Last Supper-style photograph by Ken Marcus that appeared inside the album's gatefold cover, and also designer Tom Wilkes's incorporation of Krishna-related symbolism elsewhere in the packaging.
Harrison references his Beatles past as one of the trappings of the material world and refers by name to each of his three former bandmates.
Ringo Starr, the Beatles' former drummer, plays drums on the track, which was recorded in England between October 1972 and February 1973.
The rock portions include a slide guitar solo by Harrison, saxophone solos, two drummers, and prominent Hammond organ, while the meditative Indian interludes feature flute, tabla and a rare post-Beatle sitar contribution from Harrison.
Jim Horn, Gary Wright and Zakir Hussain are among the other musicians on the recording.
The production and musicianship on the track has received favourable comments from several reviewers.
On release, Stephen Holden of "Rolling Stone" described the song as "an incantatory, polyrhythmic rocker with a falsetto-on-sitar refrain".
In addition to providing the title for the "Living in the Material World" album, it inspired Harrison's choice for a name for his charity, the Material World Charitable Foundation, to which he donated his publishing royalties from the composition.
The 2006 reissue of the album includes a film clip of "Living in the Material World", featuring archival footage of the vinyl LP's manufacturing process.
Film-maker Martin Scorsese used the song's title for that of his 2011 .
Miss O'Dell
" Miss O' Dell" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side of his 1973 hit single" Give Me Love( Give Me Peace on Earth)".
Like Leon Russell's" Pisces Apple Lady", it was inspired by Chris O' Dell, a former Apple employee, and variously assistant and facilitator to musical acts such as the Beatles, Derek& the Dominos, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Santana.
Harrison wrote the song in Los Angeles in April 1971 while waiting for O' Dell to pay him a visit at his rented home.
As well as reflecting her failure to keep the appointment, the lyrics provide a light- hearted insight into the Los Angeles music scene and comment on the growing crisis in East Pakistan that led Harrison to stage the Concert for Bangladesh in August that year.
Harrison recorded" Miss O' Dell" in England between October 1972 and February 1973, during the sessions for his" Living in the Material World" album.
The arrangement reflects the influence of Dylan, and the recording is notable for Harrison breaking into laughter midway through the verses.
A popular B-side," Miss O' Dell" was unavailable officially for over 30 years after this initial release, until its inclusion as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue of" Material World".
An alternate, laughter- free vocal take of the song circulates on Harrison bootleg CDs and was included on the DVD accompanying the deluxe edition of" Living in the Material World" in 2006.
O' Dell named her 2009 autobiography after the song.
The Light That Has Lighted the World
" The Light That Has Lighted the World" is a song by English musician George Harrison released on his 1973 album" Living in the Material World".
It is viewed as a statement on Harrison's discomfort with the attention afforded him as an ex-Beatle and features a prominent contribution from English session pianist Nicky Hopkins, along with a highly regarded slide guitar solo from Harrison.
Around the time it was recorded, in late 1972," The Light That Has Lighted the World" was rumoured to be the title track of the forthcoming album.
Harrison originally intended it as a song for English singer Cilla Black, whose version of his 1970 composition" When Every Song Is Sung" he produced before starting work on" Living in the Material World".
An early acoustic demo of the song, a solo performance by Harrison, appeared as the closing track on the 2012 compilation compilation.
The Lord Loves the One (That Loves the Lord)
" The Lord Loves the One( That Loves the Lord)" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album" Living in the Material World".
Like the album's title track, it was inspired by the teachings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness( ISKCON), more commonly known as the Hare Krishna movement.
The song is an uptempo rock track with elements of blues and gospel.
Some commentators have described it as the musical highpoint of" Living in the Material World", with Harrison's slide guitar playing singled out as being among the finest performances of his career.
The composition originated during a period marked by Harrison's devotion to a Hindu- aligned ascetic life and the height of his public association with the Hare Krishna movement, which included his donation of Bhaktivedanta Manor for use as an ISKCON temple.
In his lyrics, Harrison sings of the falsehood of striving for wealth or power in the material world and advocates a direct relationship with one's deity as a genuine life goal.
In doing so, he belittles the role of political leaders, as well as his own status as a celebrated rock musician.
The song's Krishna Conscious message was also reflected in Harrison's choice of artwork for the" Material World" album, specifically the reproduction of a painting from a Prabhupada- published edition of the Bhagavad Gita.
Harrison recorded" The Lord Loves the One" between October 1972 and March 1973 with session musicians Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, Jim Keltner and Jim Horn.
While the music has invited critical praise, the devout assertions in Harrison's lyrics typified what some reviewers in 1973 viewed as an overly didactic message on much of the parent album.
Among reviewers in the 21st century, the composition continues to divide opinion.
Although some commentators consider it an obvious choice as a live track, Harrison performed" The Lord Loves the One" only once in concert – on the opening night of his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar.

The Day the World Gets 'Round
"The Day the World Gets 'Round" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album "Living in the Material World".
Harrison was inspired to write the song following the successful Concert for Bangladesh shows, which were held in New York on 1 August 1971 as a benefit for refugees from the country formerly known as East Pakistan.
The lyrics reflect his disappointment that such a humanitarian aid project was necessary, given the abundance of resources available across the planet, and his belief that if all individuals were more spiritually aware, there would be no suffering in the world.
Adding to Harrison's frustration while writing the song, the aid project became embroiled in financial problems, as commercial concerns delayed the release of the "Concert for Bangladesh" album, and government tax departments failed to embrace the goodwill inherent in the venture.
Harrison recorded "The Day the World Gets 'Round" in England between October 1972 and March 1973.
The recording features an orchestral arrangement by John Barham and a similarly well-regarded vocal performance from Harrison.
The other contributing musicians were Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner.
Reviewers have described the composition variously as a protest song, a devotional prayer, and a counterpart to John Lennon's peace anthem "Imagine".
As with all the new songs released on "Living in the Material World", Harrison donated his publishing royalties from the track to the Material World Charitable Foundation, an organisation he set up to avoid the tax problems that had befallen his Bangladesh relief effort.
The song typifies Harrison's ideal for a world unencumbered by national, religious or cultural delineation.
In 2009, Voormann and Yusuf Islam covered "The Day the World Gets 'Round" and released it as a single to benefit children in war-torn Gaza.
