Prince While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics

| While My Guitar Gently Weeps I have a question for you all. Some background first.. I was telling my nephew he looks a lot similar George Harrison's son Dhani. I mentioned Prince's fantastic functioning of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on the R&R Hall of Fame consecration was the first fourth dimension I'd ever seen George Harrison's son while he was playing in the band. I was looking up a prune of that operation to send him, and among some of the comments somebody wrote George Harrison's widow didn't desire Prince to perform the song at all considering he wasn't a fan. I was wondering if whatsoever of that was true? All I know is Prince'due south performance was probably THE BEST tribute performances I've ever seen, and Dhani sure seemed to savor it. If he hadn't heard of the vocal earlier it's even more amazing he simply played the hell out of it. It looked like to me, Tom Petty and Prince were having fun playing together, too. Anyone know the story? | |

The person went on to say that Prince hadn't even heard the vocal before???Respond #1 posted 03/21/eleven eleven:30am
Well, I heard that at rehearsal Prince played a bit of that solo so the guys in the band knew what was comin. That'southward why right earlier he goes into it you see Dhani starting time smilin in his direction similar, "Get 'em Prince" lol The other thing is that Prince is such a various musician let alone a guitarist, it'd exist hard to figure that he wouldn't know that song. Especially being that The Beatles are i of the biggest of his many influences. | |

Thanks so much for answering the question. Yeah, I couldn't believe Prince wouldn't have been a fan of the song. I was shocked when I read it. When I was watching the clip once again, I thought the rapport between Dhani and Prince was really sweetness. I couldn't imagine whatsoever drama about Prince playing. Besides, I had forgotten Prince was too inducted that nighttime, so it fabricated sense for him to be asked to play. It was really a great moment, I idea. I sent my nephew the prune. He'south... let'south encounter...15 years erstwhile--very adept-looking kid. Unfortunately we all met for a funeral, but my nephew made a splash. He really looks like a stone star. He plays guitar and writes poetry. I'chiliad hoping to encourage him to write some music. I'one thousand sure he'll enjoy watching Prince...just wail on that guitar. Wow.. I had forgotten how peachy that operation really was. Plus, he hasn't seem Dhani before... but everybody was telling my nephew he could be George Harrison'southward son--and he could definitely exist Dhani's brother. Information technology's uncanny the resemblance. Prince would be impressed with my nephew. He takes guitar lessons... and seems to be quite serious nigh playing. I think he's good, just he's my sweet nephew, then I'm a little biased. I'k proud of him. [Edited three/21/eleven 11:49am] | |

| | There was an interview at the time where Prince claims he didn't know the song until he was sent the tape to set up for the performance. I detect that hard to believe, though... Information technology was at around the acme of his "if it'south blackness information technology'south adept, if it'south not I don't wanna know" phase... "We've never been able to pull off a funk number" "That's becuase we're soulless auttomatons" |

| I admittedly dear that version of the song. And dearest Prince'southward solo. Information technology has so much emotion. I think that is why so many people accept commented and liked that clip on YouTube. His performance has cuts through correct to my psyche. It touches an emotional nervus. And his showmanship and confidence is the icing on the cake. | |

I took "didn't know that song" to mean "didn't necessarily know how to play it" - or - "never took the time to figure information technology out" equally opposed to "never heard of it". When I'm jamming with friends, and trying to figure out what to play next, nosotros'll often say something like - "do you know While My Guitar Gently Weeps?" - "nope, don't know it" - does not mean nosotros haven't 'heard of it' | |

| | If anyone believes that Prince had never heard the song before, they're delusional. I don't care what he claims - he probably said that to make it seem even more impressive that he "learned" the vocal in a day. There'southward no mode of ever proving this, just I would bet that Prince already knew the hits of Tom Picayune, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison. |
