Other Voices, Part 15: A George Harrison Backtracked Solo Song

George commented in an interview on the backmasking on The Beatles' song, "Rain" and it got me thinking that somewhere in his solo work he would also make a backmasked comment--on Paul.

I listened to "Windows" and "When We Was Fab" with no luck, but I DID find a very interesting backmasked song of his called "Be Here Now".

The song was written in Los Angeles in 1971 and released on George's 1973 solo album, Living In The Material World.

Some of the lyrics are:
     Why try to live a life that isn't real, no how.
     A mind that wants to wander 'round a corner is an un-wise mind.

Remember The Beatles' 1967 song, "Fixing A Hole"?  The parallel lyrics in that song are:
     I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
     And stops my mind from wandering
     Where it will go.
   
SO . . . the backmasking on "Be Here Now" consists of George saying the name Paul a minimum of EIGHT times and most interestingly at 0:26-0:30 and 2:39-2:42 in the reversed song, Paul B.

My speculation is that our Paul's real last name began with the letter B, and I think George's song lends credence to that theory.
