I have always liked this song, now I've got it in my head so I've got to go listen to it!
Anybody else think this song is underrated?

i always connect this song with Helter Skelter, the 2 compliment each other so well, that I find it hard to think of it as a single entity.

Oh, yes. One of the MOST underrated songs on the White Album.

I love the ending of this song - it's really spooky!

Can somebody tell me who plays what on this song?
Is George's voice double tracked? ...etc.

Thanks for any help!

George Harrison - double-tracked lead vocals, acoustic guitar
Paul McCartney - backing vocals, hammond organ, bass guitar
Ringo Starr - drums

I like the song. Never in a million years would I think of doing it the way George did. The Beatles creativity just blows me away.

It's a great song by George & highly underrated in Beatles history.

I've always loved that song. Sweet and mellow. Especially after Helter Skelter. It is like the calm AFTER the storm.

I've always loved the distant, echoey sound of the acoustic guitar, almost sounds like he's playing an instrument with a bad bridge. One of my favorite songs to play on acoustic, especially that opening riff.

It has an ethereal ghostliness to it which is what makes it so cool to me.

^Nicely put.

And here I thought I was the only one who liked it.
I recently read a piece about the song that made me think of it more of a dialogue with god, which I don't relate to,
but to me this is a classic George songs and one of the most magical songs on the album.
