"Wah-Wah" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass.

  • «Wah-Wah» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison, publicada en el álbum de 1970 All Things Must Pass. Harrison compuso la canción en enero de 1969 tras abandonar temporalmente The Beatles después de una disputa verbal con Paul McCartney durante las sesiones de grabación de Get Back. La letra supone una respuesta al criticismo musical que había recibido por parte de sus compañeros de grupo, especialmente de John Lennon y del propio McCartney, y estuvo inspirada parcialmente por la frustración que Harrison sentía debido a la involucración de Yoko Ono, esposa de Lennon, en la actividad del grupo. «Wah-Wah» fue la primera canción grabada durante las sesiones de grabación de All Things Must Pass, poco después de la separación del grupo en abril de 1970. La grabación incluye una producción musical densa a cargo de Phil Spector y recargada de instrumentos musicales interpretados por una larga lista de invitados, con Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Bobby Keys y Ringo Starr, entre ellos. Tras su publicación, la revista musical Rolling Stone describió la canción como «una gran cacofonía en la que la sección de vientos suena como si fuesen guitarras y viceversa».​ (es)

The lyrics reflect his frustration with the atmosphere in the group at that time – namely, Paul McCartney's over-assertiveness and criticism of his guitar playing, John Lennon's lack of engagement with the project and dismissal of Harrison as a songwriter, and Yoko Ono's constant involvement in the band's activities. Music critics and biographers recognise the song as Harrison's statement of personal and artistic freedom from the Beatles. Its creation contrasted sharply with his rewarding collaborations outside the group in the months before the Get Back project, particularly with Bob Dylan and the Band in upstate New York. Recorded shortly after the Beatles' break-up in 1970, "Wah-Wah" was the first track taped for All Things Must Pass. The recording features a dense production treatment from Phil Spector and backing from a large cast of musicians including Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Bobby Keys and the band Badfinger. On release, Rolling Stone magazine described it as "a grand cacophony of sound in which horns sound like guitars and vice versa". While several reviewers find the heavy production appropriate for the song, Harrison considered the recording overproduced and the sound too cluttered. "Wah-Wah" was the first song Harrison played live as a solo artist when he performed it as his opener for the Western-music portion of the Concert for Bangladesh, in August 1971. Viewed by some commentators as superior to the studio recording, this version re-created Spector's Wall of Sound treatment in a live setting, using many of the participants from the 1970 album sessions. At the Concert for George in November 2002, a year after Harrison's death, "Wah-Wah" was performed by an all-star band that included Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Starr and McCartney. Ocean Colour Scene, Buffalo Tom, Beck and the Tedeschi Trucks Band are among the other artists who have covered the song. (en)
  • Wah-Wah è un brano musicale composto da George Harrison e pubblicato nell'album All Things Must Pass del 1970. La canzone venne scritta all'inizio del 1969 durante le travagliate sedute di registrazione dell'album Let It Be dei The Beatles. Harrison compose di getto la traccia dopo aver temporaneamente abbandonato i Beatles agli inizi del gennaio 1969. Il testo riflette le sue frustrazioni durante quel periodo dovute all'atmosfera opprimente venutasi a creare nelle dinamiche interne del gruppo, causata dai dissidi avuti con Paul McCartney che criticava il suo modo di suonare la chitarra, con John Lennon che mancava d'interesse nel progetto e lo criticò come compositore, e dal costante coinvolgimento di Yōko Ono nelle attività della band. Critici musicali e biografi hanno definito la canzone un'affermazione di libertà artistica ed individuale dai Beatles da parte di Harrison. La sua creazione contrasta in parte con le collaborazioni da lui avute fuori dal gruppo nei mesi precedenti alle sessioni del progetto Get Back/Let It Be, in particolare con Bob Dylan e The Band a New York. Incisa poco tempo dopo lo scioglimento dei Beatles nel 1970, Wah-Wah fu la prima traccia registrata per All Things Must Pass. La registrazione include un denso lavoro di produzione opera di Phil Spector e l'apporto di vari musicisti inclusi Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Bobby Keys e i Badfinger. Alla sua pubblicazione, Rolling Stone descrisse il brano "una grande cacofonia di suoni dove gli strumenti a fiato sembrano chitarre e vice versa". Sebbene molti critici di settore trovarono appropriato il pesante trattamento produttivo operato sulla canzone, Harrison considerava la registrazione sovraprodotta e il suono troppo compresso. A tal proposito, durante il Concert for Bangladesh nel 1971, ne eseguì una versione maggiormente in linea con le sue intenzioni originarie. (it)

  • I just got so fed up with the bad vibes – and that arguments with Paul were getting put in the film. I didn't care if it was the Beatles, I was getting out. (en)
  • It's a festering wound … It's only this year that [George] has realised who he is. And all the fucking shit we've done to him. (en)
  • There was too much restriction [in the Beatles]. It had to self-destruct … I could see a much better time ahead being by myself, away from the band … It was like a straitjacket. (en)
  • When we recorded Wah-Wah, the sound in your headphones was reasonably dry, but in the control room to hear the playback, the sound was loud and incredible. I loved it but George didn't: "What are you doing to my song?" (en)
