HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – Lagu “My Sweet Lord” adalah salah satu karya paling ikonis dari musisi legendaris George Harrison, mantan gitaris The Beatles. Dirilis sebagai singel pada tahun 1970 dari album solo pertamanya All Things Must Pass, lagu ini dengan cepat menjadi hit internasional dan mencetak sejarah sebagai lagu pertama dari anggota The Beatles yang mencapai puncak tangga lagu di Amerika Serikat dan Inggris.
“My Sweet Lord” merupakan ekspresi dari pencarian spiritual George Harrison, yang pada saat itu mendalami ajaran Hindu dan meditasi transendental. Lirik lagu ini mencerminkan rasa kerinduannya pada hubungan yang lebih dekat dengan Tuhan. Salah satu hal unik dalam lagu ini adalah perpaduan antara keyakinan agama Kristen dan Hindu, terlihat dari pengulangan frasa “Hallelujah” yang kemudian disusul oleh mantra Hindu, “Hare Krishna.” Penggabungan elemen-elemen lintas agama ini menciptakan nuansa universal yang melampaui batas keagamaan dan budaya.
