- Living_in_the_Material_World_(song) abstract ""Living in the Material World" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the title track to his 1973 solo album. In the song's lyrics, Harrison presents a contrast between the world of material things and his spiritual goals, and the conflicting themes are represented in the musical arrangement, via juxtaposing sections in the rock genre and an Indian music setting. Inspired by Gaudiya Vaishnava teacher A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the song promotes the need to recognise the illusory nature of human existence and escape the constant cycle of reincarnation, and thereby attain moksha in the Hindu faith. The contrasts presented in "Living in the Material World" inspired both a photograph by Ken Marcus that appeared inside the album's gatefold cover, and designer Tom Wilkes's incorporation of Krishna-related symbolism elsewhere in the packaging.Harrison references his Beatles past as one of the trappings of the material world and refers by name to former bandmates John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The latter played drums on the track, recording for which took place in England between October 1972 and February 1973, while the other contributing musicians include Jim Horn, Gary Wright and Jim Keltner. In a production that is highly regarded by some commentators, the rock portions of "Living in the Material World" include a slide guitar solo by Harrison, saxophone, two drummers and prominent Hammond organ, whereas the meditative Indian interludes feature flute, Zakir Hussain on tabla, and a rare post-Beatle sitar performance by Harrison. Amid the favourable critical reception to the song on release, Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone termed it "an incantatory, polyrhythmic rocker with a falsetto-on-sitar refrain".In addition to providing the title for the Living in the Material World album, the song inspired Harrison's choice for a name for his charity, the Material World Charitable Foundation, to which he donated his publishing royalties from the composition. The 2006 reissue of the album includes a film clip of "Living in the Material World", featuring archival footage of the vinyl LP's manufacturing process. Film-maker Martin Scorsese used the song's title for that of his 2011 documentary on the life of George Harrison.".

- Living_in_the_Material_World_(song) quote "A raunchy Reeperbahn quality exploded from striking keyboard riffs, a wailing guitar, a heavy saxophone, and a driving percussion. Then he stopped the music and a gentle, tabla-filled interlude lifted the song to a meditative realm ... then bang! He brought listeners back into the material world ... See how easy it is, the abrupt return declared, to forget and again get caught up in maya, in illusion?".
