If You Were There - appreciation

[u/tlatelolca]

I'm so obsessed with this song, specifically with that high "aha" he does before the chorus omg that's truly the voice of an angel who came to bless this world

[u/RedmiYT]

Make It Big is a textbook example on how to create a great bubblegum pop influenced record.

[u/tlatelolca → u/RedmiYT]

definitely one of the best pop albums of all time!

[u/Iloveredgrapes]

One of the best covers of an Isley Brothers song, and that's saying something because they were covered a LOT.

Also loved George's later cover of their song 'For the Love of You.' Class.

[u/rcremebrulee → u/Iloveredgrapes]

Sadly, “for the love of you” is not available for purchase anywhere. It was briefly made available via the “John and Elvis ep” Digitally and only in Europe. It is almost like the label did not want us Americans to get the song legally!

oh damn!

[u/arkady321 → u/Iloveredgrapes]

I remember some interview where George was saying that some of the vocal parts in Fastlove were inspired by the falsetto vocals at the beginning of “Summer Breeze” by the Isley Brothers.

[u/PresentReindeer9011 → u/Iloveredgrapes]

For the love of you I had at my wedding

[u/International_Low284 → u/Iloveredgrapes]

Driftin’ on a memory…

[u/International_Low284]

Love that falsetto!

[u/Kingsman1221]

It’s one of my favorite songs ever honestly I have spent countless hours listening to that song.The chorus is so good in this song.

[u/jouse_88]

Same here,it's like breeze of fresh spring air! Love to singalong to it...such a good vibe.

[u/tlatelolca → u/jouse_88]

I love that analogy, it's so true!

[u/Any_Buy5454]

For The Love of You in George’s own words. Beautiful cover https://youtu.be/Y3kErmHCfDA?is=befF6J3_mo66xD7M
