Classic song from awesome Legendary British band. Apple Records, Paul McCartney signed them. Pete Ham was a huge loss - died by suicide, played on All Things Must Pass, Bangladesh concert, wrote Day After Day, Without You, Baby Blue, Name Of The Game, Lonely You

  • Pete wrote this for Joey Molland cuz Molland was acting like a little child when he wasn't getting the attention he thought he should.

    It was a nice a gesture from Pete who was the true talent of the 2.

  • @RCN72 It related to Pete being asked to play the duet of "Here Comes The Sun" with George Harrison onstage at the Bangladesh concert, thus the lyric "Any day, the sun could shine on you..." and "... take it all, I don't need it at all." In the great Badfinger book, according to Pete's girlfriend and another friend, Joey was outwardly jealous and kept throwing digs at Pete. Pete was obviously a humble guy. Ever heard "Apple Of my Eye"? Astounding lyrics about the Bealtes.

  • Joey's issues could have been the face value inspiration - but what a song on LIFE in general!!

  • RIP Pete!!

  • What a beautiful soulful song. Such a waste that both these gifte artists died the way they did. Ham was yet another member of the 27 club - by just three days.

  • PETE HAM IS A GREAT SONGWRITER. BADFINGER BELONGS IN THE ROCK HALL OF FAME! R.I.P PETE,TOMMY AND MIKE-TIMMY K.

  • @HalfGreyhound I could listen to Badfinger all day every day and still be amazed

  • The chords and chord progressions used in this song are so beautiful it hurts!

  • WOW I always thought this song was directed at the srry ass manager who was screwing them over...........R.I.P Pete

  • People who do not like and respect the genius of Badfinger are people who I do not wish to know.
