Born this day in 1943, George Harrison, guitarist, songwriter, singer, Beatle, light. George wrote what may be my all-time favorite Beatles song. I think it's just an incredible two-plus minutes of euphoria, which I invite you to share now. ❤️ "It's All Too Much"

INTERVIEWER: When somebody asks you to describe your book LANARK, what do you say to them? ALASDAIR GRAY: I say it is a Scottish petit bourgeois model of the universe. I: Just like that? AG: Yes, I’ve rehearsed it and honed it down to as few words as possible. A #GrayDay 🧵 frontispiece/ 💙📚

Leonard Cohen and Julie Felix performing Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye, 1967

"When my soul was in the lost and found, you came along to claim it" is a perfect line. My heart jumps into my mouth every time I hear it #tapestry55

This is a lovely version of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and it's such a hopeful way to finish the album #tapestry55

Tapestry doesn't really work for me #tapestry55

Smackwater Jack is a great boogie here, but I prefer Quincy Jones version #tapestry55

I love how Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow is a genuine question when The Shirelles sing it but it's rhetorical and regretful here because she knows the answer #tapestry55

But the outro of Where You Lead is quite Motown, so I like that too #tapestry55

There's an atmosphere in the verses of Where You Lead that's not in the rest of the song and I like it there more #tapestry55

I'm not much of a fan of You've Got A Friend. I don't really like James Taylor's version either #tapestry55

Carole's vocals on Way Over Yonder are the best on the album. Merry Clayton's backing vocals are amazing too #tapestry55

Barbra Streisand's version of Beautiful is great too #tapestry55

I love the piano and synthesiser together in Beautiful #tapestry55

Home Again is a lovely, simple song but I love the juxtaposition of the lyrics "Snow is cold, rain is wet" with "Chills my soul to the marrow" #tapestry55

"Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you" is my favourite line. You just hope that someone honours the passing of a relationship the same way you do #tapestry55

It's Too Late is a total masterpiece. Everyone and everything on it played just right. A brooding but composed atmosphere #tapestry55

It's interesting that she sings about the road on So Far Away when runs of the bass, piano, flute and guitar trickle like a river. I hope that makes sense! #tapestry55

Although describing someone's face as "mellow as the month of May" makes me laugh #tapestry55

I Feel The Earth Move is a great pop song to open the album with. I don't know how easy it was for her to transition to lyricist too, but she writes of a physical longing brilliantly #tapestry55

No cheating .. your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist. Well, if you're choosing George @nemonihil1664.bsky.social I'm choosing Pattie

Another great episode of @500songspodcast.bsky.social! The first time I ever heard (and saw) A Quick One was when I bought and watched the VHS of Rock and Roll Circus in '96. A complete WTF moment. (I love that the subtitles think they are singing Jerrald) youtu.be/RJv2-_--EY4?...

"In Alison’s final days, frail and lying in a hospital bed in the SoHo loft, she performed Nivea Cream Piece one last time with [her daughter] and a close family friend.... Ordinary gestures become art, revealing their deep and personal nature in heightened acts of attention."

My top 5 will probably be in amongst this lot #5DebutAlbums0509
