My Sweet Lord
« on: December 03, 2004, 02:37:08 AM »

Man... this song just sends great vibes all over whenever I play it. What was he on when he wrote it and where can I get some?  :)

It's probably 5 billion times better than He's So Fine, but that doesn't matter at all...

This song, I think, shows the great talent that George had as a song writer... He could take one song and turn it into something completely different.  8)

Beautiful song.

You're implying he actually stole the melody from He's So Fine? Unless you're being sarcastic...

No sarcasm intended, and of course he didn't steal the melody... I'm just saying that his song is much better despite the "original," that most people think he ripped off...

even if he did, so what? there are only so many chords and so many progressions and melodies in existance that can be used in a song... so what if, by chance, two songs sound almost exactly alike?

ah well... no harm intended... sorry if i... offended you...

None taken. And it is true, there are only so many chord progressions that can be made from a guitar. It's a huge number, but a finite one nonetheless. I mean, find me a song that doesn't start with C-F (Imagine, Don't Look Back in Anger, Watching the Wheels, etc). Popular music just uses the same chords, so I agree its ludicrous to have sued George. And it just seemed that your post before was actually saying George may have conciously ripped He's So Fine off, that's all.

My Sweet Lord is my favorite song from George as a solo artist with Crackerbox Palace a close second!

My Sweet Lord is pretty good, I like Give Me Love better.  Mainly because I'm a Christian and don't want to sing along with the backup when they start chanting Hare Krishna.  Don't get me wrong, I like the song, but I don't want to be chanting things for other religions.

I love My Sweet Lord, it's such an inspirational song... He uses an amazing voice in the tune and it is always wonderful to hear... Not to mention the awesome slide guitar! Such a great tone there.

It's one of the best songs, George has written, probably his best. I love this song, what do I care the "He'so fine sh*t" !
Listening to the slide guitar gives me the creeps, My Sweet Lord is inspiring.
I also love Billy Preston's version performed at the Concert For George. Klaus
