While my guitar gently weeps

Aus dem "Concert for George"
"Eric Clapton rief und alle kamen: am 29. November 2002 versammelten sich viele Weggefährten des einem Jahr zuvor verstorbenen George Harrison in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall, um einem der größten Popmusiker des 20. Jahrhunderts ein bewegendes musikalisches Denkmal zu setzen.

Mit dabei: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Anoushka Shankar, Joe Brown, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bill Preston, Dhani Harrison, Sir George Martin u. a.(...)"mehr

Ich kann es mehr, als nur empfehlen, sich diese DVD anzusehen.
Zwei Stücke daraus:

Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sohn von Harrison und andere spielen George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"


I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

My Sweet Lord
