As the spring season blossoms across the northern hemisphere, music enthusiasts are revisiting legendary compositions, including an extraordinary Beatles gem. George Harrison, often dubbed “the quiet Beatle,” created musical magic with a song written in just three minutes that continues to captivate audiences even in spring 2025. The three-minute miracle: “It’s all too much”
While George Harrison crafted numerous masterpieces during his career, “It’s All Too Much” stands as the remarkable composition he reportedly wrote in just three minutes. This psychedelic anthem, released on the “Yellow Submarine” album, emerged from a moment of pure inspiration in 1967. Unlike his more celebrated works like Something or Here Comes The Sun, this rapid creation showcases Harrison’s ability to channel spontaneous creativity.
“George had this incredible ability to capture complex emotions in simple melodies. ‘It’s All Too Much’ came to him almost fully formed – a brilliant example of his songwriting efficiency,” notes Dr. Emily Richardson, Professor of Music History at Berkeley School of Music.
As we enjoy the refreshing changes of spring, it’s fitting to remember Harrison’s own musical rebirth. The late 1960s represented his creative spring – a period when he emerged from the shadow of Lennon-McCartney to establish his unique voice. This three-minute creation period symbolizes the spontaneous blooming of his artistic confidence.
