"Your Love Is Forever" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison . He wrote it as a guitar instrumental in an open tuning, before adding lyrics at the suggestion of his co-producer, Russ Titelman. The lyrics have an ambiguity typical of Harrison's work, in that the love he expresses is directed towards both a romantic partner and his God. In the United Kingdom, the song was also issued as the B-side of "Faster", on a charity single benefiting the cancer research project set up by the late Formula 1 driver Gunnar Nilsson.

Contents

Harrison wrote the lyrics to "Your Love Is Forever" in February 1978 while holiday on the Hawaiian island of Maui with his girlfriend, Olivia Arias, as they prepared to become parents for the first time. The song demonstrates a Hawaiian influence in the mood of the track, while also drawing on Harrison's absorption in Indian music since the 1960s. The ambient arrangement includes Harrison's open-tuned electric guitars, played through a Roland effects pedal, and a slide guitar part that reflected a development of his Indian-inspired microtonal style. Some music critics have recognised the song as a highlight of George Harrison and of the artist's Dark Horse Records catalogue.

Background

George Harrison wrote the tune for "Your Love Is Forever" as an instrumental. He said he composed it in an alternative guitar tuning, which made it difficult to find the chords he wanted but encouraged an experimental approach. [1] The song remained an instrumental piece until Russ Titelman, the Warner Bros. Records staff producer who co-produced George Harrison, persuaded Harrison to write some lyrics. [2] Titelman recalled first hearing the song in Los Angeles on a cassette of demos that Harrison presented before they began working on the album. According to Titelman: "[The demo] included just the guitar part of 'Your Love is Forever', which I think is one of the most beautiful songs that George ever wrote. So I said to him, 'You have to write a lyric to this.' And he did." [3]

The album was Harrison's first since Thirty Three & ⅓ in 1976, [4] after which he and his girlfriend, Olivia Arias, had spent a year travelling and attending races in the 1977 Formula 1 world championship. [5] [6] He completed "Your Love Is Forever" and other songs for the new album in February 1978, [7] while holidaying on the Hawaiian island of Maui with Arias. [8] The holiday was a highly productive time for Harrison [9] [10] and a happy period for the couple as they awaited the birth of their son. [11] In Harrison's 1980 autobiography, I, Me, Mine , his handwritten lyrics to the song are dated 23 February. [12] Arias, in her introduction to the 2002 edition of the book, recalls that Harrison started writing the song about his love for her and their newfound love for Hawaii, "but the love in the opening verse soon turned to Divine Love." [13]

Composition

Continuing his approach on Thirty Three & ⅓, Harrison favoured an understated religious message in his songs on George Harrison, relative to the overt Hindu-aligned religiosity of his albums up to 1974. [14] Author Simon Leng writes that the song's melody and lyrics combine to evoke a picture of beauty. He says that the opening guitar passage, played in open D tuning, "partly honour[s] the Chet Atkins tradition of guitar instrumentals while simultaneously mirroring the tonal stillness of Indian music". [15] In musicologist Thomas MacFarlane's view, the composition serves as a hybrid of Western music and an Eastern musical aesthetic, and is the realisation of Ravi Shankar's advice to Harrison that he combine his musical roots with a personal mode of expression. [16] [nb 1] Author Ian Inglis says the melody has a radiant quality in the manner of the Beatles' "Because" and the song retains a mood that reflects its Hawaiian origins. [19]

After opening with the long instrumental passage, [15] the composition consists of two verses and choruses, followed by an instrumental verse and a final chorus. [20] On Harrison's recording, the instrumental break consists of a slide guitar solo playing in counterpoint to the main verse melody. [15]

Christian theologian Dale Allison views "Your Love Is Forever" as a song that can be read as being directed to "Olivia or God or both". He says that the line "the only lover worth it all" strongly suggests a religious interpretation. [21] He also cites the song as an example of Harrison demonstrating that God and love are one and the same, and that God exists in the present rather than removed from everyday life. [22] He adds that Harrison's perception of his deity as a romantic partner aligns especially with Hindu philosophy and "allegorical interpretations of the romantic love of Krishna and Radha". [23] In Inglis's view, it is primarily a love song to Arias, in which Harrison offers contrasting images of summer and winter but concludes that their romantic love is eternal. [19]

Recording

Harrison began recording his self-titled album in April 1978. [24] [25] The sessions took place at his home studio, FPSHOT, in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. [10] [26] Aside from Harrison on guitars, the musicians on "Your Love Is Forever" were Steve Winwood (keyboards), Willie Weeks (bass) and Andy Newmark (drums). [27] Newmark recalled a far "mellower" Harrison, compared with his demeanour when they last worked together, in 1974. [28] The death of Harrison's father in May delayed plans for his and Arias's wedding. [29] They were married in a private ceremony in Henley in September, a month after the birth of their son, Dhani. [30] [nb 2]

Harrison played his main electric guitar parts using a Roland effects pedal, which he also credited as inspiring the melody of "Love Comes to Everyone". [32] He said this effect added to the atmosphere of "Your Love Is Forever" as it gave the sound an added warmth. [1] His slide guitar contributions appear only during the solo and in a brief passage towards the end of the song. [33]

In MacFarlane's description, Harrison's vocal combines a folk sensitivity with phrasing closer to jazz. He views the arrangement on the recording as "remarkably subtle", with the slide guitar solo the most significant addition, and attributes the track's "vast soundscape" to the Roland-treated guitars. [34] Author Peter Lavezzoli highlights the recording as a post-1974 example of Harrison continuing to infuse his slide playing with an Indian influence and develop his signature style combining "sweetness of tone, melodic precision, and use of slide outside the traditional blues context". [35] [nb 3]

Release

Distributed by Warner's, the album was released on Harrison's Dark Horse record label on 20 February 1979. [37] [38] "Your Love Is Forever" appeared as the third track on side two of the LP, between "Dark Sweet Lady" and "Soft Touch". [38] In Inglis's view, it thereby serves as the centrepiece of a "mini-trilogy" of songs in which Harrison openly celebrates his "domestic bliss" with Arias and their newborn son. [39]

As with the songs' lyrical content, the overt Hindu imagery familiar from most of Harrison's 1970s albums was minimal in the LP design. [14] The words "Hare Krishna" were printed on the inner sleeve, below a photo of Harrison walking through the infield of a Formula 1 circuit. [40] In an interview to promote the album, Harrison likened "Your Love Is Forever" to "My Sweet Lord", saying that it conveyed the same spiritual message but more subtly, so as to avoid offending his audience, and because he had matured and was "a bit more laid back". [41]

In July 1979, the song was issued on the third single from George Harrison, as the B-side to "Faster". [42] The proceeds from the record went to the cancer research project set up by F1 driver Gunnar Nilsson [43] shortly before his death from cancer in late 1978. [44] A UK-only release, the single was also available as a limited-edition picture disc, [45] marking the first time that a record by a former Beatle was issued in this format. [46] [47]

Harrison later paired "Your Love Is Forever" with the Thirty Three & ⅓ track "Learning How to Love You" as songs that he believed were the equal of his 1969 composition "Something". [19] He rued that these more recent songs had not gained the same recognition "because it was the Beatles who made 'Something'". [48] [49] [nb 4] Mojo included Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou's recording of the song on Harrison Covered, [51] a tribute CD accompanying the November 2011 issue of the magazine. [52]

In 2017, while launching the updated edition of I, Me, Mine, Arias said "Your Love Is Forever" was among her favourite of all her late husband's songs. Highlighting the opening lines, "Sublime is the summertime warm and lazy / These are perfect days like heaven's about here", she said it conveyed "Those times in your life when everything is just smooth and beautiful and you can really be your best self and who you want to be." [53]

Critical reception

George Harrison received favourable reviews from music critics. [54] [55] Harry George of the NME wrote that Harrison's happiness with Arias had seemingly replaced Krishna as a muse and had reinvigorated his music. He said that the album succeeded on Harrison's "guileless romanticism" in tracks where "Crafty harmonies and skilfully-layered guitars recall the sun-soaked vistas of 'Because' and 'Sun King' on Abbey Road ." [56] Writing in Melody Maker , E.J. Thribb admired Harrison for bringing "both sunshine and moonshine into our lives" [57] and recognised "Your Love Is Forever" as a song with the artist's "[trademark] chiming guitar chords" and "ringing sincerity" in the vocals. [58]

Reviewing the 2004 reissues of Harrison's Dark Horse Records catalogue, for Blender , Paul Du Noyer named the song as the first of the "standout tracks" on George Harrison, which he described as the product of Harrison's "twin retreats of tropical Hawaii and rural England, reflecting a man content to let the rock & roll mainstream pass him by". [59] James Griffiths of The Guardian paired "Your Love Is Forever" with the 1981 devotional "Life Itself" as two "transcendentally lovely" songs, and examples of how Harrison's Dark Horse releases were often unjustly overlooked. [60] Writing in The Rolling Stone Album Guide that same year, Mac Randall said that "mellowness overwhelms musicality" on George Harrison, although he made an exception of "Not Guilty" and the "understated gem" "Your Love Is Forever". [61]

On the occasion of the album's 40th anniversary in 2019, Morgan Enos of Billboard described "Your Love Is Forever" as one of the songs that "waft[ed] in from the rainforest air" on Maui, adding that it was a "droning, ambient love ballad to Olivia" that "practically invented Cocteau Twins". [62] Thomas MacFarlane writes of Harrison's success in fusing Western and Eastern musical elements in the song: "Certain musical moments can only be described as miraculous. When such moments are created through the medium of sound recording, they become gifts that continue to fascinate and inspire." [63] In his song review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer views it as a standout of what he calls "Harrison’s vital and almost blasphemously underappreciated late 1970s/early 1980s catalogue". Lindsay admires the melody and lyrics, including the "beautifully pastoral imagery of the ebb and flow of seasonal changes", and the atmosphere created by the electric and slide guitars and supported by Newmark's understated drumming. [33]

Simon Leng recognises "Your Love Is Forever" and "Life Itself" as Harrison tracks that are "the closest to his musical 'soul'", whereby "his meticulous craftsmanship as a singer, guitar player, and arranger was used to create aural replicas of grace." [64] Deeming it "George Harrison's musical image of heaven", with a slide guitar solo that "reveals exquisite lyricism", Leng views the song as the clearest example of Harrison sharing the aesthetic forwarded by American composer Alan Hovhaness earlier in the twentieth century, when Hovhaness, similarly drawing inspiration from Eastern music and religion, bucked prevailing trends by steadfastly celebrating melody over atonality. [65] Ian Inglis includes "Your Love Is Forever" among the Harrison songs that possess "great charm, energy, and beauty" yet may be little known compared with those from the artist's most critically acclaimed albums. [66] Inglis calls it a "beautifully controlled track" and an example of how, similar to the surge in the Beatles' productivity during their 1968 visit to Rishikesh in India, Harrison's first Maui holiday released a "vein of sophisticated and delicate music that was previously hidden". [19]

Personnel

According to Simon Leng (except where noted): [15]

Notes

  1. ↑ Harrison studied sitar under Shankar's tutelage between 1966 and 1968, at which point he returned to the guitar as his main instrument. [17] Titelman was also a student of Shankar's in the 1960s, attending classes at the latter's Kinnara School of Music in Los Angeles. [18]
  2. ↑ Harrison named him after the last two notes in the Indian whole-tone scale, dha and ni. [31]
  3. ↑ Harrison rarely used Indian instruments on his recordings from this period, [35] but the George Harrison track "Here Comes the Moon", written about an especially impressive sunset on Maui, included a sitar. [36]
  4. ↑ In a 1992 interview coinciding with his receiving the inaugural Billboard Century Award, Harrison named "Your Love Is Forever" as one of the songs when Timothy White asked if he had a favourite, "overlooked" composition. [50]

<i>George Harrison</i> (album) 1979 studio album by George Harrison

George Harrison is the eighth studio album by English rock musician George Harrison, released in February 1979. It was written and recorded through much of 1978, a period of domestic contentment for Harrison, during which he married Olivia Arias and became a father for the first time, to son Dhani. Harrison wrote several of the songs in Hawaii, while the track "Faster" reflected his year away from music-making, when he and Arias attended many of the races in the 1977 Formula 1 World Championship. The album also includes the hit single "Blow Away" and "Not Guilty", a song that Harrison originally recorded with the Beatles in 1968.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)</span> 1973 single by George Harrison

"Give Me Love " is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It was also issued as the album's lead single, in May that year, and became Harrison's second US number 1, after "My Sweet Lord". In doing so, the song pushed Paul McCartney and Wings' "My Love" from the top of the Billboard Hot 100, marking the only occasion that two former Beatles have held the top two chart positions in America. The single also reached the top ten in Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries around the world.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dark Horse (George Harrison song)</span> 1974 song by George Harrison

"Dark Horse" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison and the title track to his 1974 solo album on Apple Records. The song was the album's lead single in North America, becoming a top-20 hit in the United States, but it was Harrison's first single not to chart in Britain when issued there in February 1975. The term "dark horse" had long been applied to Harrison due to his unexpected emergence as the most accomplished solo artist of the four former Beatles following the band's break-up in 1970. In the song, however, he said he used the phrase in reference to gossip about someone who carries out clandestine sexual relationships. Commentators interpret the lyrics as a rebuttal to several possible detractors: Harrison's first wife, Pattie Boyd; reviewers who criticised the spiritual content of his 1973 album Living in the Material World; and his former bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Harrison named his Dark Horse record label after the song, and his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar came to be known as the Dark Horse Tour.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Love Comes to Everyone</span> 1979 single by George Harrison

"Love Comes to Everyone" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison. It is the opening track on the album and was also issued as the second single, after "Blow Away". The song reflects Harrison's contentment in his personal life as he was soon to become a father for the first time and married his second wife, Olivia Arias. Despite its commercial qualities, and contrary to some reviewers' predictions at the time of release, the song failed to become a hit.

"Far East Man" is a song written by English rock musicians George Harrison and Ronnie Wood, each of whom released a recording of the song in 1974. Wood's version appeared on I've Got My Own Album to Do, his debut solo album, and Harrison's on Dark Horse. Their only official songwriting collaboration, "Far East Man" is an affirmation of friendship in the face of life's obstacles and musically reflects the two guitarists' adoption of the soul genre. Written mostly by Harrison, the composition has been interpreted as a restatement of the humanitarian message expressed in his 1971 single "Bangla Desh", and a tribute to Indian musician Ravi Shankar.

"Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It was scheduled to be issued as a single in September that year, as the follow-up to "Give Me Love ", but the release was cancelled. Music critics have traditionally viewed "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" as a highlight of the Material World album, praising its pop qualities and production, with some considering the song worthy of hit status.

"That Is All" is a song by English musician George Harrison released as the final track of his 1973 album Living in the Material World. A slow, heavily orchestrated ballad, it is one of many Harrison love songs that appear to be directed at either a woman or a deity. Harrison wrote and recorded the song during the height of his public devotion to Hinduism; on release, Rolling Stone described its lyrics as "a sort of Hindu In Paradisium".

"Marwa Blues" is an instrumental by English rock musician George Harrison. It was released on his final studio album, Brainwashed, in November 2002, a year after his death, and subsequently on a single as the B-side of "Any Road". The song is a slide guitar instrumental and named after Raga Marwa, an Indian classical raga traditionally played at sunset. "Marwa Blues" won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Along with "Any Road" and the Brainwashed track "Rising Sun", it was also included on the 2009 compilation album Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison.

"Hari's on Tour (Express)" is an instrumental by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1974 album Dark Horse. It was also the B-side of the album's second single – which was "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" in North America and most other territories, and "Dark Horse" in Britain and some European countries. Among Harrison's post-Beatles solo releases, the track is the first of only two genuine instrumentals he released from 1970 onwards – the other being the Grammy Award-winning "Marwa Blues", from his 2002 album Brainwashed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Māya Love</span> 1974 song by George Harrison

"Māya Love" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1974 album Dark Horse. The song originated as a slide guitar tune, to which Harrison later added lyrics relating to the illusory nature of love – maya being a Sanskrit term for "illusion", or "that which is not". Harrison's biographers consider the lyrical theme to be reflective of his failed marriage to Pattie Boyd, who left him for his friend Eric Clapton shortly before the words were written. Harrison recorded the song at his home, Friar Park, on the eve of his North American tour with Ravi Shankar, which took place in November and December 1974. The recording features Harrison's slide guitar extensively and contributions from four musicians who formed the nucleus of his tour band: Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Willie Weeks and Andy Newmark. Reviewers note the track as an example of its parent album's more diverse musical genres, namely funk and rhythm and blues, compared with the more traditional rock orientation of Harrison's earlier solo work.

"Beautiful Girl" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1976 album Thirty Three & 1/3. Harrison began writing the song in 1969 and considered recording it for his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. In its finished, 1976 form, the lyrics of "Beautiful Girl" were inspired by Harrison's second wife, Olivia Arias.

"Here Comes the Moon" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison. Harrison wrote the song while on holiday on the Hawaiian island of Maui in February 1978. His inspiration for the composition was the appearance of the moon in the evening sky, just as the sun was setting. Although the lyrics focus on this natural occurrence rather than on the symbolism it suggests, in the manner of Harrison's Beatles track "Here Comes the Sun", the song is seen as a sequel to that similarly titled piece.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Soft-Hearted Hana</span> 1979 song by George Harrison

"Soft-Hearted Hana" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison. In North America, it was also issued as the B-side of the album's lead single, "Blow Away", while in Britain and some other markets it was the B-side of the follow-up, "Love Comes to Everyone". The lyrics recall Harrison's experiences under the hallucinatory effects of magic mushrooms while holidaying on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The song title refers to Hana, a remote town on the island, and is a play on that of the 1920s ragtime tune "Hard Hearted Hannah".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Soft Touch</span> 1979 song by George Harrison

"Soft Touch" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison. It was also issued as the B-side of the album's lead single, "Blow Away", in Britain and some other countries, while in markets such as North America, it was the B-side of the second single, "Love Comes to Everyone". Harrison wrote the song while in the Virgin Islands with his future wife, Olivia Arias, shortly before recording his 1976 album Thirty Three & ⅓. The song is a love song in which Harrison also conveys his wonder at the idyllic island setting.

"If You Believe" is a song by English musician George Harrison from his 1979 album George Harrison. Harrison began writing the song with Gary Wright on New Year's Day 1978 and finished the lyrics a month later while in Hawaii. The song appears as the final track on George Harrison. Its lyrics are a statement on the power of faith to bring about a desired outcome.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Writing's on the Wall (George Harrison song)</span> 1981 song by George Harrison

"Writing's on the Wall" is a song by English musician George Harrison from his 1981 album Somewhere in England. It was also the B-side of the album's lead single, "All Those Years Ago", which Harrison wrote as a tribute to his former Beatles bandmate John Lennon. In his lyrics, Harrison sings of the transient nature of life and the importance of recognising a spiritual purpose. Although the song was written long before Lennon's murder in New York in December 1980, the lyrics' reference to how easily friends can be shot down and killed led listeners to interpret it as a further comment on Lennon's death.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Circles (George Harrison song)</span> 1982 song by George Harrison

"Circles" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released as the final track of his 1982 album Gone Troppo. Harrison wrote the song in India in 1968 while he and the Beatles were studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The theme of the lyrics is reincarnation. The composition reflects the cyclical aspect of human existence as, according to Hindu doctrine, the soul continues to pass from one life to the next. Although the Beatles never formally recorded it, "Circles" was among the demos the group made at Harrison's Esher home, Kinfauns, in May 1968, while considering material for their double album The Beatles.

"Ride Rajbun" is a song by English musician George Harrison. It was released in 1992 on the multi-artist charity album The Bunbury Tails, which was the soundtrack to the British animated television series of the same name. Harrison co-wrote the song's lyrics with Bunbury Tails creator David English. The eponymous Rajbun was a character in the series based on English's friend and cricketer Rajendrasinh Jadeja, one of a team of cricket-playing rabbits – in this case, from Bangalore in India. The composition is in the style of a nursery rhyme or children's song, while the all-Indian instrumentation on the recording recalls some of Harrison's compositions for the Beatles during 1966–68.

"Life Itself" is a song by English musician George Harrison from his 1981 album Somewhere in England. Harrison also included it on his 1989 greatest-hits compilation Best of Dark Horse. As a love song to God, the track served as the artist's most overtly religious musical statement since 1974. The lyrics offer praise to Christ, Vishnu, Jehovah and Buddha, thereby marking a return to the concept of a universal deity, regardless of religious demarcation, that Harrison had first espoused in his 1970 hit single "My Sweet Lord".

Songs by George Harrison 2 is a book of song lyrics and commentary by English musician George Harrison, with illustrations by Keith West and an accompanying EP of previously unreleased Harrison recordings. It was published in June 1992, in a limited run of 2500 copies, by Genesis Publications. As with Harrison and West's first volume, published in 1988, each copy was hand-bound and available only by direct order through Genesis in England.
