Long, Long, Long - The Beatles - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Long, Long, Long" is a song by The Beatles from their 1968 album, The Beatles, commonly known as The White Album. Guitarist George Harrison wrote the track during the group's stay at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation course in Rishikesh, India, in 1968. The music in "Long, Long, Long" is calm and thoughtful, mixing folk and Indian music, and marked George Harrison's return to guitar after two years of studying sitar. This eclectic combination shows his interest in spirituality and Eastern music. The arrangement is sparse, mainly featuring George Harrison's gentle vocals, quiet guitar, and an eerie organ played by Paul McCartney. Its chord progression is said to be inspired by Bob Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Its lyrics are characterized by strong spiritual overtones, often seen as a dedication to his deity after he embraced Hindu philosophy. Despite being one of The Beatles' lesser-known tracks, "Long, Long, Long" was covered by other artists over the years, including Elliot Smith and Jim James.
