[Verse 1]
Maya love, maya love
Maya love is like the sea
Flowing in and out of me

[Verse 2]
Maya love, maya love
Maya love is like the day
First it comes, then it rolls away

[Verse 3]
Maya love, maya love
Maya love is like the wind
Blowing hard on everything

[Verse 4]
Maya love, maya love
Maya love is like the rain
Beating on your window brain

[Verse 5]
Maya love, maya love
Maya love is like the stream
Flowing in this cosmic dream

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.”
