George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (Alternate Take) [HiQ]

"All Things Must Pass" is a song written by George Harrison. It is the title track to his triple album of the same name.

During The Beatles' Get Back sessions in January 1969, this was one of many songs the group rehearsed to be part of their new album. As the sessions progressed, the song was pushed to the side and never picked up again by the band.

Harrison recorded a solo demo of the song on multi-track tape on 25 February 1969. Harrison recorded two takes, then added extra guitar onto the second. This version was subsequently released in 1996 on The Beatles' collection Anthology 3.

The song was never formally recorded by The Beatles by the time of their break-up, though at least one informal rehearsal take featuring the full group exists.

The song underwent a number of small changes from when it was first written in late 1968. The line "a mind can blow those clouds away" was originally written as the more literal "a wind can blow those clouds away," but bootlegs from the January 1969 Beatles sessions reveal John Lennon suggesting the change to "mind" to include a bit of "psychedelia" in the song. Perspective on one line was slightly changed from "It's not always been this grey" (with The Beatles) on the demo to "It's not always gonna be this grey" (on his own) on the final recording.

When George Harrison was interviewed by VH1 in 1997, "All Things Must Pass" was one of three songs he performed (along with the Traveling Wilburys tune "If You Belonged to Me" and an early version of "Any Road").

The song was included on Harrison's 2009 career-spanning best of compilation Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison.

Why all the talk of who was better in The Beatles. They were a collective unit, each member contributing his own style to the group. Each musician was exceptionally gifted. They were THE BEATLES.

When I asked someone once who knows me better than I know myself what her favorite book of the Bible is, she responded without further explanation "Ecclesiastes." She used to say that wisdom causes sadness. This song's mood triggers that truthful memory about her and that book.
