George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass Lyrics and Youtube Music Videos
This was one of the songs Harrison had saved up from his days with The Beatles. He wrote a lot of songs, but so did John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and most Beatles albums contained only one or two of Harrison's compositions; although his songs like "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun" are considered classics by many Beatles fans. When the band broke up, Harrison released a triple album that contained many songs he wrote when he was a Beatle.
The song is about moving on in life. Harrison was dealing with the breakup of The Beatles.
Harrison had Phil Spector produce the album and brought in some outstanding musicians to play on it, including Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon. Those 4 formed Derek and the Dominos during the sessions. When they were done with All Things Must Pass, they went to England and started touring and working on their own album, Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs, which was released around the same time as All Things Must Pass.
In 2003, Bobby Whitlock released an acoustic version on his album Other Assorted Love Songs. The album was recorded at a live show he played with his wife, Kim Carmel, and released on their own Domino Label. For more on the All Things Must Pass and the story of Derek and the Dominos, check out our Bobby Whitlock interview.
Harrison first recorded this as a demo at Abbey Road on February 25, 1969, his 26th birthday. Other demos recorded that day were "Old Brown Shoe" and "Something." (thanks, Adrian - Gettysburg, PA)
