From George’s handwritten lyrics to the Harrisong “All Things Must Pass.”

Q: “You once remarked that you were trying to write a Robbie Robertson kind of song with ‘All Things Must Pass.’” George Harrison: “‘The Weight’ was the one I admired, it had a religious and a country feeling to it, and I wanted that. You absorb, then you interpret, and it comes out nothing like the thing you’re imagining, but it gives you a starting point.” - Musician, November 1987

Q: “Where did the phrase ‘All Things Must Pass’ come from?” George Harrison: “I think I got it from Richard Alpert/Baba Ram Dass, but I’m not sure. When you read of philosophy or spiritual things, it’s a pretty widely used phrase. I wrote it after [the Band’s 1968] ‘Music From Big Pink’ album; when I heard that song in my head I always heard Levon Helm singing it!” - Billboard, 8 January 2001

“‘All Things Must Pass’ just shows the nature of the physical world. Everything is changing all the time. We get born and we die. But we are in this body, and we go through from birth to death. We stay the same — the soul is the same, but the body is changing. It’s the nature of… it’s called duality, and it just keeps changing. But everything passes except the essence of that, which is our soul.” - George Harrison, French TV interview, 26 August 1997 (x)
