Sobre el álbum
"Living in the Material World", lanzado en 1973, es el esperado sucesor del aclamado "All Things Must Pass" y una obra clave para comprender el núcleo espiritual de la discografía de George Harrison. En este álbum, el artista se sumerge de lleno en sus convicciones filosóficas y religiosas, creando un trabajo profundamente personal que explora el conflicto entre la espiritualidad y las trampas del éxito y la fama material.
El tono del disco es más introspectivo y menos exuberante que su predecesor. Aunque la producción sigue siendo de alta calidad, es más limpia y menos grandilocuente, cediendo todo el protagonismo a la voz y al mensaje de Harrison. El single principal, "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)", es una plegaria musical, una de las canciones más hermosas y sinceras de toda su carrera.
El álbum contiene otras joyas que reflejan esta temática. La canción que da título al disco es una reflexión sobre su posición como estrella de rock en un mundo material, mientras que temas como "The Light That Has Lighted the World" o "Be Here Now" son meditaciones sobre la trascendencia y la búsqueda de la paz interior. El álbum se siente como una obra muy cohesionada y conceptual.
"Living in the Material World" es un álbum valiente y profundamente conmovedor. Aunque quizás no tiene el impacto masivo de "All Things Must Pass", es una declaración artística más enfocada y personal. Es un trabajo esencial que revela el alma de George Harrison como pocas otras obras lo han hecho.

Letra
I've heard how some people, have said That I've changed That I'm not what I was How it really is a shame The thoughts in their heads, Manifest on their brow Like bad scars from I'll feelings They themselves arouse So hateful of anyone that is happy Or free They live all their lives, Without looking to see The light that has lighted the world Its funny how people, just wont Accept change As if nature itself - theyd prefer Re-arranged So hard to move on When you're down in a hole Where there's so little chance, To experience soul I'm greatful to anyone, That is happy or free For giving me hope While I'm looking to see The light that has lighted the world - Don't Let Me Wait Too Long
- Who Can See It
Letra
Ive been held up, Ive been run down I can see quite clearly now Through those past years, When I played towing the line. I only ask, that what I feel, Should not be denied me now, As its been earned, and I have seen my life belongs to me My love belongs to who can see it Ive lived in fear, Ive been out there, Ive been round and Seen my share Of this sad world And all the hate, That its stirred I only ask, That what I know, Should not be denied me now As its been learned, And I have seen my life belongs to me My love belongs to who can see it I only ask, that what I feel, Should not be denied me now As its been earned, and I have seen my life belongs to me My love belongs to who can see it. My love belongs to who . . . - Living In The Material World
Letra
Im living in the material world Living in the material world Cant say what Im doing here But I hope to see much clearer, After living in the material world I got born into the material world Getting worn out in the material world Use my body like a car, Taking me both near and far Met my friends all in the material world Met them all there in the material world John and paul here in the material world Though we started out quite poor We got richie on a tour Got caught up in the material world From the spiritual sky, Such sweet memories have i To the spiritual sky How I pray Yes I pray That I wont get lost Or go astray As Im fated for the material world Get frustrated in the material world Senses never gratified Only swelling like a tide That could drown me in the Material world From the spiritual sky, Such sweet memories have i To the spiritual sky How I pray Yes I pray That I wont get lost Or go astray While Im living in the material world Not much giving in the material world Got a lot of work to do Try to get a message through And get back out of this material world Im living in the material world Living in the material world I hope to get out of this place By the lord sri krsnas grace My salvation from the material world Big ending - The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord)
- Be Here Now
Letra
Remember, now, be here now As its not like it was before. The past, was, be here now As its not like it was before - it was Why try to live a life, That isn't real, No how A mind, that wants to wander, Round a corner, Is an un-wise mind Now, is, be here now And its not what it was before, Remember, now, be here now As its not like it was before - it was - Try Some Buy Some
Letra
Way back in time Someone said try some I tried some Now buy some - I bought some. .. Oh oh oh After a while When I had tried them Denied them I opened my eyes and I saw you. .. Not a thing did I have Not a thing did I see Till I called on your love And your love came to me Oh oh oh oh oh oh Through my life I've seen gray sky, Met big fry, Seen them die to get high. .. Oh oh oh And when it seemed that I would Always be lonely I opened my eyes and I saw you Not a thing did I feel Not a thing did I know Till I called on your love And your love sure did grow Oh oh oh oh oh oh Wont you try some Baby wont you buy some Wont you try some Baby wont you buy some - The Day The World Gets 'round
- That Is All
Letra
That is all I want to say Our love could save the day That is all I'm waiting for To try to love you more - - and that is all I want to do To get right next to you That is all I'm living for, Your love and nothing more And that is all Times I find it hard to say With useless words getting in my way Silence often says much more Than trying to say whats been Said before. That is all I want from you A smile when I feel blue That is all I'm waiting for Your love and nothing more And that is all Silence often says much more Than trying to say whats been Said before. But that is all I want to do To give my love to you That is all I'm living for, Please let me love you more - and That is all - Deep Blue / Miss O'Dell
