What is the music video for “My Sweet Lord” about?
as on George Harrison’s official website As can be read, Fred Armisen and Vanessa Baer engage in “spiritual special agents”. Both are hired by “the head of a secret agency”, played by Mark Hamill, to “see what cannot be seen”. Dozens of agents then banded together to “search for what could have been right before their eyes.” It refers to the “discovery nature of the song”.
It may sound confusing, but it’s based on the song: “My Sweet Lord” is a prayer addressed to God and about his search. It says, among other things: “Sir, I want to see you, (…) I want to be with you, (…) I want to know you, (…) I want to go with you I want (…)”
