George Harrison


"Somewhere in England" is the ninth studio album by English musician George Harrison, released on June 1, 1981, under Dark Horse Records. The album's creation coincided with Harrison's growing disillusionment with the music industry, leading to conflicts with Warner Bros. Records during its production. This album holds particular significance as Harrison's first release following the tragic murder of his former Beatles bandmate, John Lennon. The lyrics of its lead single, "All Those Years Ago," serve as a heartfelt tribute to Lennon, reflecting on their shared history and the impact of his passing. "Somewhere in England" captures Harrison's introspective songwriting and musical versatility, showcasing his ability to blend rock, pop, and spiritual themes. Despite the challenges faced during its creation, the album stands as a testament to Harrison's enduring talent and his deep connection to his musical roots.
