I know it’s many years after the original comment, but check it out on the remixed White Album (2018). Long, Long Long, finally gets its proper treatment and is just amazing. This alone justifies purchase of the new album.

This song is so achingly beautiful I get chills every time I hear it, even after all these years.

Listening to the White Album in the 2018 anniversary remix, which has been absolutely joyous. This song is unspeakably exquisite and this remix is beyond beautiful.

When I first heard the White Album, it scared the crap out of me (I was a young teen in 1986), and the feeling-tone of this song was part of the creep-me-out vibe that builds and builds and builds on this album, so I have almost never listened to it since then. I’m glad I waited until I could hear this mix. Just a jewel of a song.

Having bought the White Album in 1984, I had listened to it start to finish until 2016. Having bought a first pressing, last year, this song really jumped out at me. Very underrated and overlooked.

There wasn’t a piano solo on the original by Bessie Banks.
The solo on Go Now was created by Mike Pinder.

You nailed it, Jimmy. Nobody wrote songs like GH!

I thought It was Lennon who sings it.

Haunting, ethereal, and achingly gorgeous.

The song at the end sounds like an american cop siren, coming into his meditation before the final cord which recalls death

As another person said on this site it was the perfect song to end Scorcese’s film “Living in the Material World”. With Olivia talking about what happened at the moment of George’s death. A genuine tearjerker moment.

I also believe this song would have fitted in to “All Things Must Pass”. Both in style and thematically.

I rediscovered this song, being a baby boomer born in 1952, with my first grandchild. When he was first thrust in my arms to hold I started thinking of lulaby melodies to calm him. This song came to my mind and I hummed the melody, best I could, being a vocally challenged individual . . . , but it worked. Since then, I’ve pulled out my old guitar and started trying to learn the chords. It is hauntingly beautiful and I now play it at low volume for my grandson — which seems to calm him – he is still new born.

This is one of my favorite George Harrison compositions. I love the line “so many tears I was wasting”. Instantly loved this song, when I first heard The “White Album”. Great lyrics. As “Beatle John” said this is the spiritual root of “Living In the Material World”. Lovely piano work by Chris Thomas. George’s acoustic guitar playing is brilliant. A powerful song of his about finding God.

he found himself
his self
god within
after realising god without
objectify him self
the universal conciousness if it is realised outside
then outside ego, your self is realised objectively as another oblect in a god infused universe
therefore god within

I’m pretty sure Lennon was using heroin around this time, guy

I know that this song is not a big favorite among the cognoscenti — too quiet, too spooky — but I just love it. Second best song ever with a capo on the third fret (after Fire and Rain).

One of small collection of spooky songs on the white album and probably the best

It is interesting to note the lack of johns presence on georges material after 67. Another reason harrison just couldn’t be arsed with the beatles anymore. Between pauls overbearing nature and john’s lack of interest it must have been a really frustrating place to be for george.

‘long long long’ is a wonderful song though, it’s just so passionate and soulful. Oddly it’s the kind of thing that should have appealed to john and would have really suited his backing vocals. Sad he was so dismissive of georges best songs.
