The Reviews about Within You Without You (page 1/ 3)
------ performed by The Beatles
share the love | Reviewer: Rick | 10/24/09
I have always loved this song, but just re-read the words after many years of metaphysical pursuits. My findings: we are all one and peace of mind IS waiting when you see beyond yourself, do all that you can, with what you have, in the time that you have, in the place where you are. The Beatles (George) would have been famous for this song alone, they leave everyone else in the dust for the content and timelessness of about 6 of their songs.
This song had a gigantic impact on my life! | Reviewer: Jim Soo | 4/26/09
I was 14 when I first heard it and it introduced me to Eastern philosophy.
Later his other songs like "While My Guitar" and "The Inner Light" also had a major impact, and then "All Things Must Pass".
All of these ideas have led me to the teachings of the Buddha.
Love | Reviewer: Kaya | 2/17/08
It only shows that he was a great man with a large Consciousness! He only tries to spread the word, because the word is there, the love is there, it's so easy too see it..but yet, so difficult to achieve.
Just beautiful moments
George's highest accomplishment? | Reviewer: Tom | 2/8/08
There are two songs I have heard in my life that have absolutely stunned me so that I have never forgotten their impact. Both are by George Harrison. The first is 'Within You' and whose entire scope, lyrics, timing, music, is ethereal, transcendent and almost mystical. For me, Within You, like my other favorite 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps' is a lament, almost a spiritual dirge, in which George's soul cries out for what he 'knows' is the way that the world could be, must be, for us to re-awaken to ourselves and our potentiality.
Music moves each one of us differently, thankfully. I can only say that Within You moves me today, every bit as much as it did when I heard it 40+ years ago. Sublime music and, I feel, far better than any other song on a epochal album.
As a psychologist, specializing in helping people awaken to their 'real' wondrousness and to simply no longer focus on their self-imposed limitations, I have found that Within You is the sound of a true 'mahatma' and that is what George Harrison was, a 'Great Soul'. Thank you George, from the bottom of my own soul, for ALL of your offerings to us, both by your humility and your music. Thanks.
Say love before it's too late | Reviewer: Tiger | 1/9/08
This is the message of love I wish I had written.I am particularly impressed with Patti Smith's version on her album twelve. Thank you Patti. It seems corny now, but George's message -- his only contribution to Sgt. Pepper's -- is as true today as it was 40 years ago when I turned on with the album. We can save the world with love and George's message lives on without him, with us.
within you without you | Reviewer: Daniel | 11/11/07
Great song. Not particularly tuneful but thats what makes it different to the main beatles stuff! Great lyrics- "people who gain the world and lose their soul"- does the sound like Chelski to any of us englishmen? lol
The way I see It | Reviewer: Zuly | 10/24/07
Actually this song is talking about reality, and the way things should be. If you really think about how things are today and listen to the lyrics in this song , youll realize how simple things can be and the goodness in all these words.
The Secret | Reviewer: Laurie | 10/23/07
"As above, so below. As within, so without."
-The Emerald Table, circa 3000 BC.
I love it, it's a beautiful song.
read between the lines! | Reviewer: sophie | 9/29/07
i think that you're all reading it to it too much.
The fact that your arguing about the orientation of the song totally defeats the purpose of the song itself...this song is about harmony of yourself and others...aka..who cares where its from. the construction, the meaning, everything about it's brilliant!
