We were talking ...
You immediately feel an intimate tug from George inviting you in for an important conversation.
George was really getting comfortable with the sitar, and hey so what if he actually "borrowed" the music from a larger piece by Ravi -- it's got a unique structure, and the flatted sevenths and thirds are always so satisfying!
The other Beatles stayed away from the sessions.
After a coaching session, George nailed it in two takes.
