This song is complete gibberish, nothing at all compared to “Within You Without You”

“Other musicians: sitar, tambura?”
Don’t you mean other instruments that Anil Bhagwat played?

I think it’s a Shruti Box

I have to say I always found George’s ‘Within you without you ‘ to be a bit dull. Then I heard the instrumental version and it blew me away. Exquisite melody all written on a single chord.

Yeah, it really is a very fine composition.
The Sitar adds some excitement, the buildup here and there is really good.
George was creative and added to the expansion of the use of the Sitar by other bands and had bands doing more of a mystical/psychedelic way in new songs.
The Beatles were a full on/best band of the 20th century, as in rock/pop with the influence of brother George.
You can dig that

You have to be joking. First off, the song is a masterpiece. Second, you come off as a bigot. Or do you not mind how people perceive you?

This is one of the more ridiculous songs in the Beatles’ catalog (thanks to George H.’s religious and moralistic lunacies).

Homophone. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

I think he very clearly sings “before I’m a dead old man.” It never occurred to me that he might be singing anything else. Perhaps a good pair of head phones would make it easier for you to understand what words he is singing?

I love these songs. They were among the most inventive songs any of the Beatles composed, although, of course, there is no denying that Tomorrow Never Knows was a gigantic breakthrough. George’s sitar playing sounds especially good compared to the other 60s bands that attempted to use the instrument. But I prefer the 12 string electric violin used by Shankar (not Ravi Shankar) in albums released starting (?) in the early 1990s, when it was “Shankar and the Epidemics”.

Also John did vocals as well, Paul might have done bass guitar on this song but it may have been wiped out.

It is a great song. This song has real punch and drive and it is George Harrison who leads the way on sitar. It was he that introduced much of the west to this instrument in late 1965 on John’s “Norwegian Wood”. This then influenced The Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones who is brilliant on sitar on their 1966 rock masterpiece “Paint it Black”. This Harrison composition adds much to “Revolver”, one of popular musics greatest albums.also in 1966.

Orchestra pedal? What is that supposed to be?

I believe the instrument at :58 is a guitar with an orchestra pedal effect so it kind of hums. It comes back later in the song and is at the end of Here There and Everywhere but the effect is more melodic there. I believe it is George on lead sitar. There’s footage of him playing with Ravi and he sounds like he’s got it down. Even take ! on Norwiegian Wood has more sitar on it and George sounds pretty good there as well.

There’s footage of George practicing and learning stuff with Ravi.

Ravi himself said this was not incredibly difficult stuff. He’s kind of the authority I’d say. lol So I tend to assume it’s George based on that critique.

I’m with you Daniel. I never imagined it any other way. The Beatles are notorious for word play.

We’re going to perform the song in a forthnight. The longer I am working on It, the more I appreciate It! Great, great song!

I even like Blue Jay Way and love Northern Song, but for me this one is just dismal.
