George's "Long, Long, Long" sits right between Helter Skelter and Revolution 1, serving The White Album as a calming moment between two heavier tracks. George wrote the track as an ode to God, with its music inspired by none other than Bob Dylan.

"The "you" in ‘Long, Long, Long’ is God. I can’t recall much about it except the chords, which I think were coming from "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" – D to E minor, A, and D – those three chords and the way they moved."

The track was written around August 1968, but was only brought in the studio in some of the last recording sessions for the album on October 7th and 8th, under the working title of "It's Been A Long Long Long Time". This session was not only marked by John's absence (which became somewhat of a pattern when it came to sessions for George's songs), but also by the sessions being heavily photographed : every picture featured in this video is of them rehearsing and recording the track.

The band recorded a total of 67 takes of the track, since it was most certainly Paul and Ringo's first time hearing it as no demo exists. The backing track lineup featured Paul on organ, Ringo on drums and George on acoustic guitar (with a capo on the third fret) and vocals. According to session tapes, Paul and George were in a particularly good mood, joking around and working in a very cooperative way ; a striking contrast from the infamous argument that sparked in the Get Back sessions a few months later.

The track remained bare through its arrangement, but one of its most interesting part is the ending. Here's Chris Thomas, who added a small piano part to the track, on the chaotic ending :

"There’s a sound near the end of the song which is a bottle of Blue Nun wine rattling away on top of a Leslie speaker cabinet. It just happened. Paul hit a certain note and the bottle started vibrating. We thought it was so good that we set the mikes up and did it again. The Beatles always took advantage of accidents."

The band chose the final take, take 67, as best and continued working on the song on October 8th. John was present at this session but didn't want to bring any contributions to the track, but rather focus on two of his own compositions that were recorded the same day, those being I'm So Tired and Bungalow Bill. George added some more acoustic guitar, vocals and Paul a bass part on his recently acquired Jazz Bass. They finished the track on October 9th, Chris Thomas adding a small but prominent piano part and Paul some sporadic backing vocals.
