Page "All Things Must Pass (song)" Paragraph 17

Almost two years after he'd originally written the song, Harrison's " All Things Must Pass " was released in November 1970, closing side three of the triple album in its original LP format, and it was received with great acclaim.

Acknowledging the song's extended recording history, Madinger and Easter write that " wait was well worth it " for this " fine " composition.

Beatles Forever author Nicholas Schaffner noted in 1977, with reference to Harrison's commercial and critical dominance over his former bandmates following the break-up: " The very fact that the Beatles had kept George's flowering talents so under wraps proved to be his secret weapon.

" Schaffner named " All Things Must Pass " and " Beware of Darkness " as " two most eloquent songs on the album, musically as well as lyrically " with " mysterious, seductive melodies, over which faded strings and horns hover like Blue Jay Way fog ".

The song's title was invariably seen as Harrison's statement on the demise of the band.
