The Beatles Hit George Harrison Almost Didn't Release

George Harrison didn’t get a plethora of cuts while with the Beatles. Paul McCartney and John Lennon pretty much had a monopoly on the songwriting. However, the cuts he did get proved to be timeless classics. There was one Harrison-penned song in particular that nearly didn’t receive a wide release. Find out which titular Beatles song fans almost missed out on, below.

The Beatles Hit George Harrison Almost Didn’t Release: “That’s Too Easy”

“Something” was one of Harrison’s shining moments in the Beatles. It has fascinated guitar players for decades and remains a Beatles staple. Nevertheless, Harrison didn’t believe in the song when it first came to him.

“I just put it on ice for six months because I thought, ‘That’s too easy’,” Harrison once said.

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

This ballad is a little black and white. It has little surprises in its simplistic melody. However, sometimes there doesn’t need to be anything flashy to make a song great. Sometimes all that is required are some well crafted lyrics and a memorable chord progression. Harrison certainly achieved that here.
