===="Blue Jay Way"==== {{listen |filename=Blue Jay Way.ogg |title="Blue Jay Way" |description= Led by Harrison's Hammond organ, "[[Blue Jay Way]]" features an arrangement in which Western instruments capture an Indian setting,{{sfn|Schaffner|1978|p=91}}{{sfn|Miles|2001|p=286}} with a cello evoking a [[sarod]].{{sfn|Courrier|2009|p=194}} }} "[[Blue Jay Way]]" was named after a street in the [[Hollywood Hills]] of Los Angeles where Harrison stayed in August 1967. The lyrics document his wait for music publicist [[Derek Taylor]] to find his way to Blue Jay Way through the fog-ridden hills, while Harrison struggled to stay awake after the flight from London to Los Angeles.{{sfn|Gould|2007|p=454}} MacDonald describes the song as Harrison's "farewell to psychedelia", since his subsequent visit to [[Haight-Ashbury]] led to him seeking an alternative to hallucinogenic drugs and opened the way to the Beatles' embrace of Transcendental Meditation.<ref>{{cite book|last=MacDonald|first=Ian|author-link=Ian MacDonald|year=2002|chapter=The Psychedelic Experience|title=Mojo Special Limited Edition: 1000 Days That Shook the World (The Psychedelic Beatles β April 1, 1965 to December 26, 1967)|location=London|publisher=Emap|pages=35β36|title-link=Mojo (magazine)#Special editions}}</ref> The composition marked a rare example of the [[Lydian mode]] being used in pop music{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=340}} and, in Reck's view, incorporates scalar elements from the [[Carnatic raga]] [[Ranjani]].{{sfn|Reck|2008|p=70}}{{refn|group=nb|Alternatively, Everett considers "Blue Jay Way" to be related to the Carnatic raga [[Kosalam]] and to [[Multani (raga)|Multani]], a [[Hindustani raga]].{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=141}}}}
