Something | Through the Shattered Lens

Ok, time to get back in the saddle.

The latest entry in the “Greatest Guitar Solos Series” comes courtesy of The Beatles and one of the best songs, if not the best one, from their 1969 album, Abbey Road.

The song is the George Harrison penned “Something” and its been acknowledged by musicians and critics to be the greatest love song that doesn’t have the mention the word love (on a serious note, it is the greatest love song).

The guitar solo is performed by George Harrison and arrives as part of the song’s outro.

Something

[Verse 1]
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in her smile, she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Bridge]
You’re asking me, will my love grow?
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around, now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know

[Guitar Solo]

Great Guitar Solos Series

Lisa’s off the grid tonight so I’m filling in with the today’s music video. Before she left, she told me to “just pick something.”

Can you tell where this is heading?

Most of this video takes place at a train station. As a photographer, I love train stations. Train stations are a romantic link to the past and you’re less likely to get in trouble for taking pictures near a train station than you are near an airport.

Unfortunately, I don’t live near any romantic train stations. Here’s the closest thing that we have to a romantic train station down here:

It’s a nice station and I’ve taken some good pictures there but there’s nothing really romantic about it.

That’s why I like the train station in this video. According to Wikipedia, this was filmed at a station in Prague. It looks like it would be a great place to hang out with my camera and people watch. That would be something!

Enjoy!
