Beware Of Darkness (Session Outtakes And Jams / Take 8)George Harrison

Released: November 27, 1970

Songwriter: George Harrison

Producer: George Harrison

[Verse 1]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertip
Beware of darkness

[Verse 2]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night, oh
Beware of sadness

[Bridge]
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore, what is more
That is not what you are here for

[Verse 3]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidеwalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wandеrs aimlessly
Beware of Maya

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, oh, and grow
Beware of darkness

George Harrison

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
