[Verse 1]
Vicious words drift away from their meaning
And the sun melts the chill from our lives
Helping us all to remember what we came here for

[Chorus]
This is love, this is la la la la love
This is love, this is la la la la love

[Verse 2]
Little things that will change you forever
May appear from way out of the blue
Making fools of everybody who don't understand

[Chorus]
This is love, this is la la la la love
This is love, this is la la la la love

[Bridge]
This is love
This is love
This is love, this is la la la la love

[Verse 3]
Since our problems have been our own creation
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone

[Chorus]
This is love, this is la la la la love
This is love, this is la la la la love

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.”
