“All Things Must Pass”
“All Things Must Pass” is a song written by George Harrison. It is the title track to his 6x platinum triple album of the same name.
During The Beatles’ Get Back sessions in January 1969, this was one of many songs the group rehearsed to be part of their new album. As the sessions progressed, the song was pushed to the side and never picked up again by the band.
After the Get Back project was abandoned, Harrison recorded a solo demo of the song on multi-track tape on 25 February 1969. Harrison recorded two takes, then added extra guitar onto the second. This version was subsequently released in 1996 on The Beatles’ collection Anthology 3.
The song was never formally recorded by The Beatles by the time of their break-up, and it was first released on Harrison’s All Things Must Pass album in 1970.
The song underwent a number of small changes from when it was first written in late 1968. The line “a mind can blow those clouds away” was originally written as the more literal “a wind can blow those clouds away,” but bootlegs from the January 1969 Beatles sessions reveal John Lennon suggesting the change to “mind” to include a bit of “psychedelia” in the song. Perspective on one line was slightly changed from “It’s not always been this grey” (with The Beatles) on the demo to “It’s not always gonna be this grey” (on his own) on the final recording.
The title and lyrics of the song probably come from the last words of Buddha: “All composite things pass away. Strive for your own liberation with diligence”

“Only A Northern Song” animation
A home-made animation of “Only A Northern Song” a psychadelic song written by George Harrison and published on Yellow Submarine soundtrack
“Only A Northern Song” was recorded on 13 February, 1967, with overdubs added on 14 February and 20 April, during the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions. It was recorded using two 4-track tape machines, allowing eight tracks for the complex arrangement of the song, a method not common at the time in recording at Abbey Road. However, problems arose to getting both 4-track machines to begin playback at the exact same time, causing difficulties mixing in stereo.
Therefore only a “fake stereo”, or Duophonic mix was created from the mono mix to appear on the original stereo release of Yellow Submarine, and the song was one of only seven mono tracks released in the 2009 remastered Stereo Box Set (the only mono track released on the 2009 release of Yellow Submarine), instead of the unfavoured “fake stereo” mix. This complex arrangement involves an unconventional musical form and unusual instrumentation, including distorted trumpet played by Paul McCartney, Harrison’s reverbed organ, and a glockenspiel played by John Lennon.
Harrison himself described the song as “a joke relating to Liverpool, Holy City in the North of England. In addition the song was copyrighted to Northern Songs Ltd. which I didn’t own”.
