aside from the fact that the entire collection of songs on the white album portrays such a vast array of colors, this track seems to always catch me closing my eyes and drifting sweetly away into my own little magical world.

george harrison's voice melts me. the lyrics are sweet, and that solo bass riff is such a welcome addition.

the outro is probably one of the most beautiful few seconds of music i've ever heard. my soul can get stoned in the best way possible just by having listened to it.

if you close your eyes and use your imagination, you can simply see a series of pink ripples and green waves.

I love this song. It's such a stark constrast to the fury of Helter Skelter. No one writes a warm and gentle song better than George.

I hear that.

I think you've said all there is.

I like the lyrics "how could I ever, misplace you"

I love it as well. The one that always gets me the most is the demo version of Somthing from the 3rd Anthology album. As someone said earlier his voice just melts me.

People need to stop naming their albums after colours.

they didn't name it the white album that's just what people took to calling it, which is why albums that are named the brown album or the black album are missing the point

But that wasn't 'officially' named the Black Album either was it??? It was simply named Metallica. Like The White Album it has been 're-named' by the public...
