Something

John considers it the best song on Abbey Road. For Paul, it's Harrison's best song ever. Even Frank Sinatra called it «The greatest love song of the past 50 years». Thanks to its enchanting melody and magnificent lyrics. When asked if Something was written with his wife Pattie in mind, George replied, «Well, actually, when I was writing that song, in my mind I was thinking of Ray Charles!»

With over 150 different versions, Something is (after Yesterday) the Beatles' song with the most cover versions. Among the numerous artists who have reinterpreted it are Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Joe Cocker, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles himself.

The promotional video was shot shortly after the band's breakup. In fact, each of the Beatles is shown individually in different times and places. However, it manages to give the song tremendous visibility and confirms George Harrison as a great songwriter capable of astonishing the world shortly after with the first triple album in history released by a solo artist. We're talking about All Things Must Pass.

For our video, we wanted to take advantage of the autumn colors of the beautiful beech forest of Canfaito, without neglecting our usual footage during studio recordings.
