As a tribute to George Harrison on the occasion of his posthumous 80th birthday, I tried my hand at a cover of one of my favourite of his solo songs - “This Is Love” from the 1987 album Cloud Nine.

My apologies in advance, I can’t sing well. However, I love the lyrics of this song so I couldn’t leave them out. It has such a warm, sunny vibe…reminds of when things are in bloom in the spring.

Enjoy and excuse any mistakes or other musical shortcomings.

I enjoyed that srblue5, good job! I think you really caught the vibe of the Quiet One- especially with the slide playing. And don’t put your vocals down ever, just keep on keeping on. Btw I thought they fit well with the whole song.

And I liked your singing on this, really carried the spirit of the song.

Unfortunately George did absolutely not like the Telecaster the one time he played it for 2 weeks in January 1969 and then never again for the rest of his career
