My Sweet Lord gave George Harrison the first post-Beatles UK number one single in 1971.
Various stars from the entertainment world have come together to create the first official video for George Harrison‘s classic single My Sweet Lord, all executive produced by his son Dhani and directed by Lance Bangs.
“Making this was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life,” Bangs says. “The approach was to represent the song visually while these agents and inspectors kept missing the metaphysical wonder around them. Images are choreographed to the sounds of vocal melodies, guitar strums, drum patterns, chord changes.”
“George threaded a sense of humor through all of his videos, so we kept that spirit and filled the cast with friends and admirers of his music, many coming from the current comedy landscape.”
“I tracked down vintage prime lenses from some of the films George’s HandMade Films had produced, and I hope that viewers can feel a sense of wonder and searching while they watch it, and that the song continues to add to all of our lives.”
