Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)

Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)

George Harrison

“Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth) is the lead single from George Harrison’s 1973 album "Living in the Material World.”

In George’s 1980 autobiography “I, Me, Mine,” he talked about how he wrote the song, saying:

“Sometimes you open your mouth and you don’t know what you are going to say, and whatever comes out is the starting point. If that happens and you are lucky, it can usually be turned into a song. This song is a prayer and personal statement between me, the Lord, and whoever likes it.”

The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in June of 1973. It also peaked at #8 on the U.K. Singles chart.
