All Things Must Pass - George Harrison - MP3 instrumental karaoke

George Harrison took inspiration from Timothy Leary's poem "All Things Pass" – a lysergic adaptation of the Tao Te Ching – and the Band's career-defining LP Music from Big Pink for his folk-rock fable "All Things Must Pass," which deals with transience and optimism. "Sunrise doesn't last all morning / A cloudburst doesn't last all day / Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning / It's not always going to be this gray," he suggests in the first verse, continuing this hopeful streak in verse two: "Sunset doesn't last all evening / A mind can blow those clouds away / After all this, my love is up and must be leaving / It's not always going to be this gray." "All Things Must Pass" was released in November 1970 as the title track to George Harrison's renowned triple album of the same name, which also featured his hit single, "My Sweet Lord," wove into his go-to slide guitar sound.
