The Beatles Song George Harrison Thought Was Their ‘Most Beautiful’

YouTube, @TheBeatles.

The Beatles had many lovely songs, but George Harrison once singled out a particular tune.

In a 1969 interview, Harrison called “Because” the band’s “most beautiful” song.

“Because” was featured on ‘Abbey Road.’

Harrison said, “John wrote this tune. The backing is a bit like Beethoven. And three-part harmony right throughout. Paul usually writes the sweeter tunes, and John writes the, sort of, more the rave-up things, or the freakier things.”

He continued, “But John’s getting to where he doesn’t want to. He just wants to write twelve-bars. But you can’t deny it, I think this is possibly my favorite one on the album. ‘Because’ is one of the most beautiful things we’ve ever done.”
