Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Back in the day when Coyote FM was new and the programmer was playing things like "Come and Go Blues" by Gregg Allman and "Illinois" by Dan Fogelberg, I was invited to provide music for the station, so I delivered some pretty good stuff. Got to know the programmer, we exchanged e-mail addresses, and one day, I was having a pretty bad time. My brother was in the hospital, right in the middle of a refinance and a remodel that I had to handle because of his incapacitation, and I was working at a full-time job, too. I sort of snapped, and e-mailed the programmer-friend, telling him about what I was going through. He said, "Listen at noon." So I did, and he played this song, with the dedication, "To my friend, who's handling a lot now. Music can help anyone get through anything." I never forgot that. I don't know where my friend is now, but every time I hear this song, I think of him, of what I was going through, and how I got through it. I know the time will come when I can just listen to this song and love it on its own merits, and not because of anything else attached to it. Miss you so much, Cynaera... love this song... |

| That_SOB (In at least 2 places at once) | Posted: Apr 28, 2012 - 02:06 I could have easily enjoyed a couple more life-times of George's music. Loved the Wilbury's and wonder what was inspiration triggered End Of The Line . George always traveled with at least two and often more ukuleles in the trunk of his car. He pulled into Petty's drive one day and told Tom to pick out one of the uku's, but Petty said " I don't know how to play one of those" George said " Hey no problem, I'll teach you, grab one," so Petty did, and after an hour of so Petty had picked up the chord patterns and they were jamming away. Tom said from that day on "he" never went anywhere without a uku in his trunk. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jul 03, 2010 - 17:57 Story: My radio-programmer friend played this song on the radio right after I'd lost a dear friend to cancer. He didn't know, but I e-mailed him, and he apologized. I fwapped him, we met for drinks and talked about my friend, and the music. He confessed that "All Things Must Pass" was one of his favorite songs and he built song-sets around it because it lent itself to sorrow and hope. So - I can't listen to it without being very ambiguous about how I feel. It makes me cry, but it also inspires a sense of positivity. I hate this song. I love this song. Today, I love it, because I can feel positive about the immediate future of me. As I type this, I have five cats sacked out around the bedroom, the sun is still shining, the chirdies are burping, and tomorrow's dinner is planned. And RP is playing some very amazing music. Life is kinda good today. |

| ThePoose | Posted: Mar 30, 2010 - 13:08 RParadise wrote: As I remember it, All Things Must Pass was a triple album when it was first released. I remember being blown away by how much music George must have been storing up, either on paper or in his head, before he finally got the chance to get it all down in a studio. A tremendous outpouring that, infortunately, he never equaled again. But we can all be grateful for this truly Magnum Opus. In fact, ATMP was the first-ever triple LP released by a solo artist. |

The demo was recorded in the buildup to the White Album - really this song should have been on the White Album. That demo version is something special, as are the versions of Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps George recorded the same day - his 27th birthday, if I recall correctly. |
