HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – George Harrison, salah satu anggota legendaris The Beatles, dikenal dengan perjalanan karier solonya yang menginspirasi setelah bubarnya band ikonik tersebut. Salah satu karya yang patut disoroti dalam perjalanan solonya adalah lagu “Someplace Else”, yang dirilis pada tahun 1987. Lagu ini menggambarkan keahlian Harrison dalam menulis lirik yang penuh emosi dan mencerminkan kedalaman spiritualitas serta pencarian jati diri.
“Someplace Else” pertama kali muncul dalam album Cloud Nine yang diproduksi oleh Harrison bersama Jeff Lynne, anggota Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Namun, lagu ini sebenarnya pertama kali diperkenalkan kepada publik pada soundtrack film Shanghai Surprise (1986), sebuah film yang dibintangi oleh Sean Penn dan Madonna, di mana Harrison berkontribusi sebagai produser musik.
