This Is Love (George Harrison Song)
"This Is Love" is a song by George Harrison and is the fifth track on his 1987 studio album Cloud Nine. In June 1988, the song was also released as the third single from that album, peaking at number 55 in the UK Singles Chart (see 1988 in British music).
The original B-side for this single was going to be "Handle with Care," a collaboration between Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty at Bob Dylan's studio in Santa Monica, California. When executives at Harrison's distributor Warner Bros. Records heard the track, they decided it was too good to be released as single "filler," a decision that resulted in the formation of the Traveling Wilburys and the album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 with "Handle with Care" as the lead track and single.
"This Is Love" was included on Harrison's 2009 career-spanning compilation Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison. Steve Wood and Daniel May composed music to the 1998 documentary film Everest incorporating melodies from some of Harrison's songs, one of which was "This Is Love".
