GEORGE HARRISON And Social Interaction Difficulties - Part 2

i could never really live without you

so come on back and see just what you mean to me

The lyrics of "Hey Ringo" written somewhere in the 70s or 80s by George Harrison.

This song was found by Olivia. This was hidden in a piano stool, when she showed it to Ringo, he said he had no idea it existed. I would probably record it later. Although that as we know never happened.

"Olivia, 69, found typed lyrics to Hey, Ringo forgotten in a piano bench.George is thought to have written it as a plea for the band to stay together around the time of their 1970 split. She told of Ringo’s shock — and said she hopes the star, 76, and fellow surviving Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, 74, put it to music."

She said: “He’d never seen this song before. He was so surprised. There was a folder in George’s piano bench. Inside I found a typed lyric for Hey, Ringo. It dates from around 1970. He would put down a notebook and forget where he left it. A piano bench was the obvious place to stash the night’s debris. I need to dig a little. It would be great if George put it down on tape.”

He is so cute. It's like a dialogue between them ...

And here's the "Lyrics":

"Hey Ringo, now I want you to know, that without you my guitar plays far too slow.

And Ringo let me say this to you, Ive heard no drummer who can play it quite like you.

Wait a minute Mr G, stop flattering me. My drums sound bare when your guitar's not there.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, let me hear you playing.

Hey Ringo, there's one thing I've not said, I'll play my guitar with you till I drop dead.

Well G, it's really nice the things you say. But when you drop please fall the other way."

…[John and Paul] are so totally in sync that they carry that through to a natural break, and you see John glancing to his side with this look of just fantastic joy, like they’ve just done something together that they never could have done on their own. - Joshua Wolf Shenk

what is the story behind your blogs header photo (if you know it)? i love it and it raises so many more questions than it answers😭 is that john on the ground with paul ?

ahhhhh it's one of my fave beatle photos!!

i don't know if there's a specific story to this night, it just looked really fun. it's them playing at the top ten club in hamburg. i just adore the energy of it though. the way paul and john are singing and playing to each other and just feeding off each other's delight, and it's so much fun that george and stu are also smiling just watching them. it really captures how infectious their joy for playing is. also just the rare occasion when they're not matching, so they really look like any random band, it's very humanising. paul's dressed like an IT guy! he doesn't even have a guitar at this show (i think his broke at some point in hamburg so he was on piano and drums for the rest of their time there), he's just singing! it's very informal in a way.

the composition is so great too. the presiding impression most people have of beatles shows is girls screaming, so it's really cool seeing a couple dancing and completely ignoring them (while being completely ignored back because the beatles are performing for each other). also, if i remember correctly the guy on the bottom right corner is some hamburg ganster, which is really funny. these children are performing to thugs! and having the best time!

the other pics from this night are delightful as well:
