The Beatles - The Inner Light Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Past Masters, Vol. 2 Released:
1968 Without going out of my door,
I can know all things of earth
Without looking out of my window
I could know the ways of heaven
The farther one travels, the less one knows
The less one really knows
Without going out of your door
You can know all things on earth
Without looking out of your window
You could know the ways of heaven
The farther one travels, the less one knows
The less one really knows
Arrive without traveling, see all without looking
Do all without doing
Writer/s: HARRISON

LyricFindThe Inner Light Song Chart George Harrison wrote this song. It was released as the B-side of "Lady Madonna" and was Harrison's first song to appear on a single. All the music was recorded by Indian session musicians at the EMI studios in Bombay, India, while George was working on the soundtrack to the movie Wonderwall. George Harrison had originally recorded this for the Wonderwall soundtrack in January 1968. When The Beatles got together for recording sessions shortly before their trip to India, John and Paul added harmonies to the final line, "Do all without doing." (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE) The lyrics are a translation of a section of the Tao Te Ching. Juan Mascaro, a Sanskrit teacher at Cambridge University, sent the book to George. This was Harrison's last Indian-themed Beatles song. The original release was in mono; a stereo version was mixed in 1970 and used on the Past Masters compilation. The mono mix features an extra Indian instrument in the intro that did not make it to the stereo version. Jeff Lynne from Electric Light Orchestra performed this at George Harrison's 2002 memorial show The Concert For George. Lynne was good friends with Harrison and played with him in The Traveling Wilburys. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)
