Be Here Now (song)

(For the Oasis song, see Be Here Now (album).) "Be Here Now" is a song by English musician George Harrison released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. The recording features a sparse musical arrangement and recalls Harrison's work with the Beatles during 1966–68, through its Indian-inspired mood and use of drone-like sitar. Part of Harrison's inspiration for the composition was the popular book Be Here Now by spiritual teacher Ram Dass – specifically, a story discussing the author's change in identity from a Western academic to a guru in the Hindu faith. Harrison biographers interpret "Be Here Now" as a comment from him on the public's nostalgia for the past following the Beatles' break-up.
