THE BEATLES SAID NO TO THIS GEORGE HARRISON SONG — AND THEN IT BECAME A CLASSIC HIT
There was a quiet moment — fragile, fleeting — inside Twickenham Studios when George Harrison strummed a song the world had never heard. The chords shimmered with hope and melancholy. But the air was tense. John and Paul were lost in their own storm of ideas. No one said much.
“It’s all right,” George whispered, almost to himself. “Everything must pass.”
That line — simple, resigned, and prophetic — would one day define him.
When The Beatles finally shattered, George returned to that forgotten song. Away from the noise, away from the shadow of Lennon–McCartney, he poured his heart into “All Things Must Pass.” It became not just an album — but a spiritual awakening.
What the others had overlooked became his masterpiece.
What was dismissed as “too quiet” became eternal.
And when the world finally listened, they understood: genius doesn’t vanish when it’s ignored — it just waits.
✨ Everything passes. But some songs never fade.
