George Harrison and Patti Boyd met on the set of A Hard Days Night. They two got married in 1966 and two years later, “Something” would be a song written about Boyd. It speaks about her enigmatic allure and how beautiful she is throughout the song.

Harrison also cited other inspirational sources of the song besides his wife. The song alluded to Krishna, the Hindi deity. Since he writes about women, he writes about God. But of course, the marriage would end in 1976, but that wasn’t the end of Boyd’s love life.

George’s best friend would write his own song about his wife, but it had an unfortunate ending for Harrison.
