A moving philosophical son written by George Harrison, his only composition on the album. The second of his two Indian music Beatles recordings, it features session musicians recruited from the Asian Music Circle in north London, more Indian instruments played by George and the Beatles' assistant Neil Aspinall, eight violins, three cellos, a little acoustic guitar and a great Harrison vocal. No other Beatle participated and Within You Without You was the album's last song to be completed.

This is the master of the George Harrison composition that opened side two of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, presented here in a fashion not previously available: remixed, without George's vocal, from that formed master.
What remains, audible to the fore, is a combination of tamboura, tabla, dilrua and swaramandal tracks recorded in March, with violins, cellos and George's sitar track overdubbed on 3 April.
