I definitely don't own the Beatles… But I love them so much here's a really bad Fanfiction because George is my favourite Beatle.
In the weeks following their celebrated appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles delved into the familiar sanctuary of the recording studio. The melodies and rhythms of their music became a refuge for George, providing moments of respite from the enigmatic circumstances that haunted him.
As they gathered in the studio, the atmosphere crackled with creativity. John, Paul, George, and Ringo, driven by their passion for music, poured their hearts into each note and lyric they crafted. Although, George, though still grappling with the unexplained ailment and the burden of his secret, found solace in the melodies that emerged from his guitar. The persistent headache had ebbed slightly, allowing him to focus more on the music, but the weight of his condition remained an unspoken companion.
His bandmates, noticing a slight improvement in George's disposition, assumed that he was getting better. They observed him engaging more actively in the recording process, his guitar playing reverberating with a renewed vigour that hadn't been present in the preceding days.
"You're looking better, mate. Feeling alright?" Ringo kindly remarked, as they took a break between recording sessions, noticing the subtle shift in George's energy.
George managed a smile, grateful for the reprieve from the persistent discomfort, even if it was only temporary. "Yeah, getting there. The music helps," he replied, trying to convey a sense of improvement to alleviate their concerns. It wasn't even a lie, this music brought him a sense of peace, as well as happy thoughts of his past, now his present.
Ringo nodded, pleased to see George seemingly in higher spirits. "Glad to hear it, George. We've got some cracking tunes coming together," he chimed in, eager to maintain the positive momentum in the studio. George smiled sightly, as he already knew the songs that would be created, by all of them.
Despite their well-intentioned observations, George couldn't shake off the guilt of letting them believe that he was better than he truly was. He appreciated their support and the moments of relief that music offered, but the unexplained nature of his condition lingered like a shadow over his semblance of improvement.
In the midst of the recording sessions, George found himself lost in the enchanting embrace of music. As his fingers danced along the fretboard, a familiar melody emerged, one that seemed to resonate deeply within him—the tender strains of "Something."
Unbeknownst to him, the hauntingly beautiful tune flowed effortlessly from his guitar, weaving its way through the studio. His mind drifted, lost in the melancholic yet soul-stirring chords, the lyrics lingering on the tip of his tongue. Memories of Pattie made themselves known, he felt guilty in some way, like he was betraying Olivia.
Lost in the intimate embrace of his music, George began to hum softly, the heartfelt words of "Something" lingering in his mind. The song, born from his once great love.
John, who had been engrossed in his own work, paused and turned toward George, his attention captured by the captivating tune that filled the air. He recognized the melody instantly and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Hey, George, what's that you're playing? Sounds like something special," John remarked, his curiosity piqued as he caught the strains of the heartfelt melody.
George, snapped out of his reverie, realized he had unintentionally shared a glimpse of the song that had been brewing within him. "Oh, just messing around, John. Nothing concrete yet," he replied, trying to downplay the significance of the melody he had inadvertently brought to life.
John, being his ever nosy and eccentric self, pressed further. "No, seriously, George, that sounded like something special. What's the story behind it. Have you met a bird and not told us?" he inquired, jokingly.
George, was becoming panicky and while berating himself for this second slip up, attempted to deflect the attention. "Oh, it's nothing, really. Just a little tune I've been toying with. Might not amount to much," he replied modestly, a humble smile playing on his lips.
Paul, always eager to explore new musical avenues, chimed in. "Come on, George, let's hear more of it. There's something magical about that melody. I can feel it," he urged, his enthusiasm contagious.
George hesitated, torn between the desire to share the intimate creation and the instinct to guard the vulnerability embedded within the song. "Maybe another time, lads. It's not quite ready, you know? Just a work in progress," he deflected, steering the conversation away from "Something."
Ringo, sensing George's unease, interjected with a playful tone. "Alright, let's not pressure the man. We've got plenty of tunes to work on. No need to rush greatness, George," he said, lightening the mood and redirecting the group's focus to the broader array of songs they were crafting.
Amidst the recording sessions, the Beatles took a break from their more introspective tunes and delved into the upbeat rhythm of "Twist and Shout." The lively tempo and infectious energy of the song filled the studio, inviting the band to let loose and revel in its exuberance.
As the familiar chords of "Twist and Shout" echoed through the room, the Beatles enthusiastically began to rehearse. John's raspy vocals soared, Paul's melodic bass anchored the groove, and Ringo's rhythmic drumming drove the tempo.
Yet, to everyone's surprise, it was George who seemed to exhibit an unusual aptitude for the song. Despite his usual reserved demeanour, he hands moved with an unexpected ease and skill, on the strings of his guitar.
Paul, impressed by George's unexpected skill, couldn't help but quip, "Look at you, Georgie boy! Got some moves hidden up your sleeve, do you?"
George chuckled modestly, his cheeks tinted with a hint of bashfulness at the unexpected attention. "Can't let you have all the fun," he replied, attempting to downplay his newfound talent for the song.
John and Ringo joined in the playful banter, teasing George about his surprising agility. "I didn't know you were secretly a Mozart of guitar, George! Next thing you know, you'll be teaching us a thing or two," John joked. Although there was a slight tone of suspicion in his voice.
As the bandmates continued to practice and engage in light-hearted banter, John's gaze occasionally lingered on George, an unspoken question and suspicion lingering in the air. There was a sense of intrigue, a feeling that danced between the chords of the music they played, waiting to be addressed.
Whether it was a genuine surprise at George's hidden talent or a nagging feeling that there might be more to the story, John couldn't quite shake the sense of jealousy that accompanied his glances. The unspoken tension between them added a subtle layer to the dynamic of the recording session, as the mysteries surrounding George continued to cast their shadows over the light-hearted moments of musical collaboration.
