Living in the Past - What is Life (14)


Hello, lads...
Today's song is What is Life by George Harrison.
I think he's my favourite Beatle, guess I have a thing for the underdogs. A very spiritual man, and quite down to earth, don't you think? And very talented as well, to bad John and Paul didn't recognise that fact. But while in a solo career he had the chance to proove them wrong. 
"What is Life?" is one of George's best. I know this song means many things to many people, but doesn't this song make you feel like you are ment for something in someones life?
I guess this song was written to intenionally have a possible dual meaning - love of the Lord and/or love of another person (whether it can reffer to a positive, lovely, feel-good kind of feeling or to a depressing and sad, break-up feel). It works on both levels, although George probably approached it from the religious side.

What Is Life - George Harrison

What I feel, I can't say

But my love is there for you anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What I know, I can do
If I give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make ev'rything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am I without you by my side

I'm nothing without your love.
