George Harrison: Living in the Material World Page #10

"I thought it was you three!"

And I thought,

"Oh, sh*t, I'm goin' on holiday.

I'm off. And I went to Sardinia.

When I got back,

it was, "Oh, come on back.

"We love you", blah, blah, blah."

George had decorated the whole studio

with flowers, you know.

And, you know, that was

a beautiful moment for me.

I look at you all

See the love there

that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor

And I see it needs sweeping

Still my guitar

Gently weeps

I don't know why

Nobody told you

How to unfold your love.

It was crap, you know.

We were trying to do the song

and it wasn't happening.

You know,

they weren't taking it serious.

And, uh, I don't think they

were even all playing on it.

And so, I went home that night

and I just thought,

"Well, that's a shame, cos I

know this song is pretty good."

And then the next day,

I was driving into London with Eric,

and I said,

"Hey, what're you doing?

"Why don't you come to the studio

"and play on this song for me?"

And he says,

"Oh, no, I can't do that.

"Nobody's ever played

on a Beatles' record.

"And the others wouldn't like that."

And I said,

"Well, you know, look, it's my song

"and I'd like you to play on it."

We'd all learned

to grow together and, you know,

some days one'd grow a little taller,

and the next day

someone else'd grow a little taller,

you know? It's how we were.

It had been a few years since

I'd seen them and they had changed.

And this particular song

was a strong view of...

It was coming very

much from where George

had found himself,

as a result of becoming involved

with, um, mysticism.

And seeing John and George

and Paul sing together,

when they were doing

harmonies and things,

and Paul playing, I

mean, it was fantastic.

I look at you all

Still my guitar

Gently weeps.
