"Something" is a song composed by George Harrison, the lead guitarist of the Beatles. It was released on the band's 1969 album "Abbey Road" and was also released as a single in the same year. The song is widely regarded as one of Harrison's greatest compositions and one of the best love songs of all time. The song was composed in 1968 and was inspired by Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd. It was the first song written by Harrison to be released as an A-side single by the Beatles. The song features Harrison on lead vocals and guitar, with John Lennon and Paul McCartney providing backing vocals and Ringo Starr on drums. "Something" is a ballad that is divided into two distinct sections. The first section features a slow, romantic melody that is sung by Harrison. The second section features a more upbeat, rock-oriented melody that is sung by the entire band. The song is notable for its use of a descending bass line, which is played by McCartney on the piano. The song's lyrics are simple and straightforward, expressing Harrison's love for his wife. The opening lines of the song, "Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover," have become iconic and are often cited as some of the best lyrics in rock music. "Something" was released as a single in October 1969 and quickly became a hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was the first Beatles single to be released in the United States that did not feature a Lennon-McCartney composition on the A-side. The song has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and James Brown. It has also been featured in several films and television shows, including "The Sopranos" and "Mad Men." Overall, "Something" is a beautiful and timeless love song that showcases Harrison's talents as a songwriter and musician. Its simple yet powerful lyrics and memorable melody have made it a classic that continues to be beloved by fans of all ages.
