Exploring George Harrison's Favorite Tracks on The Beatles' Abbey Road
The Beatles' eleventh album, Abbey Road, features some of George Harrison's favorite tracks, including "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" and "Golden Slumbers." Harrison praised Paul McCartney's songwriting and John Lennon's atmospheric track "Because," which showcases the Beatles' harmonies. "Because" was inspired by Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and features clear, straightforward lyrics.
"Because" serves as a gentle interlude on the album, sandwiched between Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" and another Lennon-McCartney composition. The song's three-part harmony and Beethoven-like backing impressed Harrison, who considered it one of his favorite tracks on the album. The simplicity of the lyrics and the challenging harmonies make "Because" a standout song on Abbey Road.
