| George Harrison – So Sad Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
George wrote this song as he was feeling hopeless over his relationship failing with Patti boyd. Their relationship was mainly failing over George strongly following his spiritual journey. Without Patti's interest, George had been meditating and giving all his attention to his spiritual awakening alone, and this left Patti feeling desperate without George's attention. This caused her to go for Eric Clapton who gave her the attention she humanly wanted. During the time their relationship began drifting apart, George knew that Patti wasn't completely in love with him anymore, causing him to write this song. Now the winter has come To eclipse out the sun That has lighted my love for sometime And a cold wind now blows with most lines from this song being about sadness and the cold, it became know as the contrast of the positive song 'here comes the sun.' which George had written before. Not much tenderness flows From the heart of someone feeling so tired And he feels so alone With no love of his own So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad At the time George wrote this song, he had Temporarily given up his Hare Krishna spiritual journey and had been too consumed by his Human emotion of sadness to care. But again this was temporary and he continued his spiritual journey again later on. In the future, George claims that he still liked this song, but it's just, "So sad." |

| George Harrison – Horse to Water Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I believe that the song means the same as the saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." Meaning that you can help someone by showing them the truth, but the only way that they can truly understand the truth and take it in, is if they have some level of consciousness. A friend of mine in so much misery Some people sail through life, he is struggling I said, "Hey man, let's go out and get some wisdom" First he turned on me, then turned off his nervous system this means that this person, alike most would like to know the truth, but as George wants to show him the meaning of life and happiness, "take the horse to water," the man turns off his "nervous system." meaning he doesn't receive the advice or answer with a conscious soul. the overall meaning is that you can let someone know the meaning of life or philosophical answers to complex situations, but if they don't open their mind and take in the answer with an aware conscious, then they have been successfully "lead to the water." but won't or cannot "drink." again, this was just my interpretation. |
