All Things Must Pass, 1970
Written by George Harrison
This song was presented to the Beatles in 1968 for Abbey Road and rejected for Let It Be. Musicians who play on this recording include Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, saxophonist Bobby Keys, and Billy Preston. Lyrically, the song reflects Harrison's interest in the metaphysical; specifically, it muses on the transience of night, bad times, love, and even life. "Sunset doesn't last all evening / A mind can blow those clouds away." Harrison's mild, reflective vocal, and the laid-back, convivial Band-like arrangement, underline the message.
