Some of the Most Popular Songs Ever Made Were Written About the Same Woman

There was ‘Something’ About Her

“There’s something in the way she moves/Attracts me like no other lover.” Yes, that beautiful song was written by Harrison in her honor, which is a song Frank Sinatra called “the greatest ever love song.” Boyd and Harrison’s relationship actually inspired a number of Beatles hits, like ‘I Need You,’ ‘Love You To,’ and ‘For You Blue.’ But it was ‘Something’ from 1969’s Abbey Road that became the most iconic song.

Abbey Road album was arguably Harrison’s finest work as well as one of the greatest Beatles songs of all time. According to Boyd, Harrison wrote, ‘Something’ was about her in a “matter-of-fact way.” Of the hundreds of cover versions, Boyd said that her favorite version is George’s, which he played for her in their kitchen. In 1980, Harrison said how he wrote the song on the piano during the making of The White Album.
