New lyrics from the late George Harrison surfaced and were recently put to a melody by songwriter Dean Johnson, who premiered the tune on BBC Radio 1 in October.
"I found it unbelievable, tremendously exciting and, above all, a complete honour. My brief was to follow George's sentiment through to its conclusion," Johnson explained.
The lyrics, which were written in the 60s in the height of Beatle fever, were given from Harrison to Beatle's biographer Hunter Davies who referenced them in a recent BBC interview. BBC connected with Johnson to asked him to put the words to life.
Dean Johnson did some digging and thought that the lyrics were explaining Harrison's relationship with Lennon.
"The lyrics are of a personal nature and were first thought to be a song of unrequited love but, in hindsight, they seem to allude to George's uneasy relationship with John Lennon."
and the legend lives on...
