Best Answer

George began writing the song while John was still alive, as a response to John's complaint in an interview that George never properly mentioned him as an influence in his autobiography, I Me Mine. After John's death, George reworked the song as a tribute.

I'm shouting all about love

While they treated you like a dog

When you were the one who had made it

so clear

All those years ago.

I'm talking all about how to give

They don't act with much honesty

But you point the way to the truth when you say

All you need is love.

Living with good and bad

I always look up to you

Now we're left cold and sad

By someone the devil's best friend

Someone who offended all.

We're living in a bad dream

They've forgotten all about mankind

And you were the one they backed up to

the wall

All those years ago

You were the one who Imagined it all

All those years ago.

Deep in the darkest night

I send out a prayer to you

Now in the world of light

Where the spirit free of the lies

And all else that we despised.

They've forgotten all about God

He's the only reason we exist

Yet you were the one that they said was

so weird

All those years ago

You said it all though not many had ears

All those years ago

You had control of our smiles and our tears

All those years ago

How do you tell your exhusband that you don't want to have anything to do him him ever after being divorced for almost 3 years?

Use very clear words like you have used in the formation of this question. Dodging the issue and hinting around aren't clear words. Don't use those strategies.


Is sir paul mc cartney a catholic?

It was mentioned in the George Harrison documentary 'Living in the material world' that both Paul Mc Cartney and George Harrison both had a catholic upbringing. George explored the Hindu faith and found some spirituality in it however if you listen to the words of his songs he believes that belief in GOD is what is important and not the way you worship HIM. He makes references to Jesus in many of his songs which shows that he still observes Catholic traditions and does not discount Jesus as the SON of GOD. Regardin Paul , I recently viewed a You Tube video in which he sings a religious song which he wrote in adoration of GOD.

Who sang the song words don't come easy?

The released song is credited to "Starkey, Richard" (Ringo Starr). But years later Ringo stated that he wrote the song with George Harrison. Some say Harrison wrote the song and gave it to Ringo, as it has a feeling and style that seems George's. But Ringo certainly was a talent in his own right. The lead vocals are Ringo's, and the backing tracks are by Badfinger's Pete Ham and Tom Evans. George Harrison, as producer of the final version, seems to have got a "Hare Krishna" line into the backing vocals, but the final mix makes it difficult to hear. Written and recorded in 1970, the song wasn't released until April 1971.
