She and Jane Asher still look so good from the way they did in the 60′s. The two of them were my “wanna look like” when I was a teen in the 60′s.
i dont like eric clapton.. :S
George Harrison and Eric Clapton treated Patti like crap. She really got the short end of the stick. Atleast she can say she was the inspiration for some of the most beautiful songs every writter. But what a price to pay. Patti Boyd was and is one strong woman.
2:57 george looks like jonny depp
This is a gem of a song by Harrison. Oh, and Pattie was really pretty too!
I love her so much. She’s my biggest role model. <3
Recall The Who – song entitled “Too Much of Anything” – although I think those lads had something different in mind.
Thanks for one of the top ten Beatles songs. I prefer their rock tunes.
Oh she’s too much..gorgeous
Pattie Boyd was a slut fuck that cunt in her old ratty pussy. tramp
Yay, love = looking pretty. That marriage worked out …
Ray Charles? where is that written. I read his auto-biography. I will look up what he says about this song.
“we are dead”
listen
No, but l respect him. So, It’s everyone’s own decision. I decide to trust him.And I think I know what he mean when he said he was thinking of Ray Charles.
I do have a strong opinion about it and about George. I don’t think you can believe everything he says, especially to the press and public. George wasn’t exactly the most honest of people.
I think in order to retain some sense of privacy he’d lie to the media in an instant, especially with the affair of his wife and good friend being so open a “secret”.
I’m sure his religion helped him make peace with it as he experienced his Instant Karma.
Or you can belive what the author said. But I respect that you have your own strong opinion. It’s great actually. Have a nice day
.
Quite honestly, everyone can go on and speculate but the truth is you don’t know what was in his head at the time and neither do I. We only know what the song says.
Yeah, I suppose this song wasn’t written for her either…
I’m sorry, I’m just not understanding where you’re coming from.
good day chaps.
Why would he have to pretend he wrote the lyrics about her? They are clearly written from a perspective of a loving husband. Maybe you don’t understand for some reason.
I’m just not getting the denying. None of you seem to have a good explanation for his heartfelt lyrics which were obviously not about any random groupie or Maureen Starkey who he was shagging at the time.
I believe him when he said it was about Ray Charles. The Beatles didn’t write in any sort of straightforward or logical manner – they drew inspiration from anything and everything. The words don’t have to be directed towards Ray, but the inspiration may have been from him. And he dedicated the song to Pattie and pretended that he wrote it for her when he realized it was a great love song.
You know, the inspiration can go both ways. Maybe while he was writing the song “Something”, he could’ve written a few lines inspired by Pattie, even if in general it was mainly Ray Charles in his mind.
Either way, there are two things that are definite:
Good day chaps.
1. George writes amazing songs, no matter who or what they are about.
2. Pattie Boyd is gorgeous, and even if she didn’t inspire “Something”, she has other songs so I don’t think she’s too worried.
I’m sorry if you still, even after listening The Beatles, can’t see the real meaning of words. Don’t take “attracts me like no other lover” word-for-word. If you sit down and think awhile, maybe you’ll see that George gave the best answer he could ever give when he said that he was thinking of Ray Charles. (And that this song is very clever). Enjoy the sun !
. Btw, don’t haste, give it some time.
I belive that he wasn’t thinking of Patty when he wrote it. Just because it’s a love song, doesn’t mean that it has to be inspired from somebody you love. ( and btw Love is a deep and complex thing, it has many different forms.)
Also, though Conner’s death was a horrifying tragedy, you have to understand this is coming from the person’s perspective who had her husband come to her to say he got another woman pregnant and would she consider raising Conner.
That must hurt as a woman when you are infertile.
I highly doubt when he wrote the words “attracts me like no other LOVER” he wasn’t thinking about having Ray Charles as a lover.
