It is ironic that you can discover musicians, their body of work and their influnce over the music you loved your enire life by pulling at threads like this thoghtful post. Peter Drake was a new name for an old friend whom I just met. Thank you for posting

George Harrison heard pedal-steel player Pete Drake on Dylans "Nashville Skyline" album and asked him to come to england to play on "All Things Must Pass"..he also played on Ringos country album and many many country hits of the day, including Tammy Wynettes "Stand by your man" and songs by Roger MIller and The Statler Brothers as well.....he was a sought after studio musician back in the day....from the rock as well as folk and country artists.

love the pedal Steel guitar here...in my mind...this pedal steel sounds similar to that on some Neil Young tunes where he emphasizes the pedal steel sound...and where it just flows naturally through the chord changes)

I think this song was written with help from Bob Dylan they also wrote If Not for You at the same time. Gearge asked Bobbie for some input on the lyrics . They hung out togther in Woodstock New York around 1968 with their friends from The Band.

I cant comment on the actual meaning of the lyrics or the subject matter ..

I just love love love the pedal steel guitar on

This song WAS NOT written for Bob Dylan... Harrison himself said it was written while visiting HIS MOTHER who was in a hospital dying of cancer... listen carefully to the lyrics and certainly you will understand their real meaning :

Why are you still crying?

your pain is now through

please forget those teardrops

let me take them from you.

The love you are blessed with

this worlds waiting for

so let out your heart please, please,

from behind that locked door.

[alexmottram07]

Its time we start smiling, what else should we do? with only this short time, Im gonna be here with you, and the tales you have taught me from the things that you saw, makes me want out your heart please, please, from behind that locked door. And if ever my love goes, if Im rich or Im poor, come and let out my heart please, please, from behind that locked door, from behind that locked door.

Thank you for posting the musicians' names. The pedal steel guitar player was magnificent--this most certainly has some country influences. I had no idea that it was written for Dylan; very interesting because the two would later play in "The Traveling Wilburys". This is my favorite Harrison song for many reasons, most of which concern my parents who loved this song, too. I love this early version as well as the one on the album. Thanks for posting.

I knew this song initially in 1971 when I was in the junior high school. Although the album cover seems very English, I think this song sounds very American country.
