Best "tracks 8" on a George Harrison album (please read the rules before voting)

Your Love Is Forever
Someplace Else
Be Here Now

 

We've got one "Pity" already, so I'm less compelled to vote for an ATMP track this time.

Many of these tracks have a mellow George vibe. Track 8 seems to be a pretty chill slot!

My favs this go-round:

• Far East Man
• Someplace Else
• Your Love is Forever

Writing's on the Wall and Tired of Midnight Blue could easily slide into that 3rd slot for me.

 

Let It Down
Run So Far

 

Let it Down
Someplace Else
Run So Far

 

Oasis.

 

~ "Be Here Now"
~ "Let It Down"
~ "Your Love Is Forever"

Honorable Mention: "Pure Smokey", "Far East Man", "Run So Far" & "Isn't It A Pity (Version 2)"
also terrific- "Tired Of Midnight Blue", "Someplace Else", "Writings On The Wall"

 

Ah, now we're talkin'...the track eights are some of my favourites!

"Far East Man" (favourite Dark Horse track)
"Tired Of Midnight Blue" (the Extra Texture song that tends to get stuck in my head the most!)
"Pure Smokey" (favourite 331/3 track)

 

Looking at the list of songs, it's true it almost looks like a compilation of chill deep cuts. Add maybe Marwa Blues instead of Run so Far as a closing track, and it would be a fantastic playlist.

 

I think the polls just show's what a talent George was, sure George reached his peak with ATMP but he never reached the lows of John and Paul after. It's only Somewhere in England (Official release) I rarely listen to.

 

A very poor list. I voted for one song.

 

It's a list of unspectacular songs (except for Let it Down, which may be too spectacular for its own good). Unspectacular but quietly beautiful. At least 5 of them (Be Here Now, Midnight Blue, Love Forever, Writings on the Wall and Someplace Else) are amongst my favorite deep cuts of George's, and I know Far East Man is considered just as good by many. Funny how we can love the same artists, but not necessarily the same areas of their output. It took me some time to really get into some of these self effacing songs, but lately, they became a passion of mine.

 

Let It Down
Far East Man
Someplace Else

I must admit, though, I prefer Ron Wood's version of "Fat East Man" to George's.

 

I just realised that I accidentally overlooked the beautiful 'Someplace Else', a wonderful ballad, which would edge 'Far East Man' out of my top 3, so I have changed my vote.

 

I thought it was one of the better lists.

 

Yes, the best since tracks 3, I'd say.

Which song was it ?

 

It was one of the slow and dull lists again for me.

 

"Be Here Now" has been my mantra for many years. Gorgeous, simple, direct, meditative. Pure Hari.

 

Midnight, Writing's, Someplace

Not a bad list. There are 2 or 3 others I also like.

 

Be Here Now is a beautiful song and one of my faves from Harrison. But it's gotta have the slowest tempo of any song I own.

 

Don't Eno much?

 

I didn't vote for this, but now that you have me thinking about it I may change my vote. This is a great song!

 

The slide break in YLIF still gives me chills.
The Harriest Hari moment Hari ever Harried.

 

Ahah, well done, I love this!

You really should. Allow me to help you…

 

Someplace Else. Apart from the two ATMP tracks, I have to confess that I find the remainder utterly dull.

 

Three songs almost tied, an hour remaining for voting…
