All Things Must Pass

This is one of the songs that George 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, All Things Must Pass, with 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 four 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.
