You made me cry Sunny Smile. That was amazing. : ' )

I would have wrote something like that but I would have started sobbing 🙁

 

Like minime said, George would have loved it 

 

An apple for the letter

And an apple for being a friend 🙂

Because we're putting you to sleep at three of the clock, Nigel.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8Thanks, Ali. For the compliments and the apples. I'm really glad we're all so supportive of each other here, it's very nice.heart

Thanks Mith! and I think the same, it's really sweet all the things written here…

Also I'm very peaceful right now, I mean, I don't think I'm really sad anymore he's with his “Sweet Lord” right now and very happy. And, at least he left us all those songs and phrases so meaningful for us, because I can't imagine if he hadn't been a musician, I really can't.

So I distracted myself (Washed a car haha) but played Abbey Road and the Love album and it was magical! haha I would've cried with While My Guitar Gently Weeps , but I didn't because I realize that not ALL things pass. His music is still here and everything he teached us. So Rest In Peace George. Although I still feel your presence in your songs…

Oh! and Mith! I really like your picture! I just imagined George in heaven, touching his heart, like his thinking about the world or all the people who loves him or he loves, really… But sorry, I'm kind of weird right nowa-hard-days-night-john-2

This is la la la la love! – George Harrisonheart

Please! Tell me what you think! and I hope you won't  laugh haha.

Dear George,

There are so many things that I could say. You've no idea how much your music, your humor, your personality have affected my life. I can't imagine going a day without thinking of you or your amazing and truly inspiring songs. 

Your contributions to the Beatles deserve more recognition, because as you demonstrated time and time again you were a brilliant songwriter with one heck of a lot to say- and I've been listening. 

I was barely five when you passed, but that hasn't stopped me from being able to connect with you through the art (it truly is art) that you have left behind. 

I admire you not only as a musician, but as a person. You were generous- putting together the benefit concert, Concert for Bangladesh. You were hilarious- anyone who's ever watched old interviews can attest to this (brrrrrackets, anyone?!?). You had an eye for spiritual things and were willing to look within yourself to find answers. Really, George, you're a hero to me. 

You will always be loved never forgottenheart

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.

These are great, I've been listening to a lot of George's stuff today, as I'm sure we all have, and the thing I love about his songs is that there are these little moments where he's just got this ability to put a smile on my face by just doing something simple. Like on Stuck Inside a Cloud when he goes “the only thing that matters to me is” and then he just throws that little “ttt” sound right after. And then the way he says “talkin to myself” right after, oh it's so good! Rest in Peace George, we miss you.

I will never forget you George! Yesterday was my 16th birthday, and that was the 10 year anniversary of your passing, so no matter what, you'll always be a little part of me a-hard-days-night-george-2

Dear a-hard-days-night-george-7,

I can't describe in words what I would want to say to you, so I'll just say that we miss you here on planet Earth and we wish you hadn't left it so early…

Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble.

I know this is kinda late but I just want to say that I cried about Georges death on the 29. In school. During the middle of class. Every one was all like “oh Marissa what’s wrong? Which was making me cry more, but you know what? Instead of making up some lame excuse (so people woulden think i was weird) about why I was crying, I told the truth. It felt good. I know I got some weird looks, but This Boy in my class (who I have had a huuuuge crush on for like a month) came up to me, gave me a hug, and said “It’s ok, I miss George also.” I was shocked. We started talking and it turns out he is a really big Beatles fan also, and likes a ton of the same things I’m interested in. We have been talking a ton about the Beatles in class now and it feels great to know someone in person who appreciates them as much as I do. And you know what makes it even better? He kind looks like George! I just might have to marry this kid.

But anyway, George is a super inspirational person and it was so sad to see you go, but I’m sure he’s having a great time jamming out in heaven (or whatever after life he is in) with John and all his family. So one last thing, ROCK ON GEORGE!

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8Marry him. a-hard-days-night-george-10

 He sounds like an amazing person. That's an incredible story. How cool is it that it was the specific guy you'd had a crush on?!? It's so sweet that he went over and hugged you too. a-hard-days-night-paul-10There are some very good people in this world.

George Harrison was a major inspiration for me growing up both musically and spiritually. Not only did he open my eyes and mind to Yoga and Meditation but has instilled in me a humbleness as a musician to realize how important it is to be yourself and to open your heart. I will always miss him but he will live in my heart forever.

I have this wierd kinda thing with George that´s quite hard to explain – I feel like I knew him, I feel like I know him. I know I don´t know him in person so the only thing I can think of is that our spirits know eachother, that he´s touched me in such a way that I feel like I should´ve known him, that´s all I can say.

George, the world isn´t the same without you and I get very angry when I think of the thugs that are on this earth and you, a good man, had to go. I´m sure you´re happy now though, at last you´re with your lord and everyone else whom you love, and that makes me feel happy.

Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

This is only off Wikipedia, but I think its beautiful:

” On 12 November [2001], the three living Beatles met for the last time for a luncheon at Harrison’s hotel in New York, with McCartney flying in from London with his fiancee Heather Mills. The party laughed and joked throughout the 90-minute meal and when Starr said he had to go, Harrison’s family and other friends retired to leave the three ex-Beatles alone together for the last time,”

Gosh, that makes me want to cry.

 

I Love You George.
