All Things Must Pass
Written by: Harrison
Recorded: 25 February 1969
Producer: George Harrison
Engineer: Ken Scott

Released: 28 October 1996

George Harrison: vocals, electric guitar


Although best known as the title track of his 1970 solo triple album, George Harrison taped a solo demo of All Things Must Pass in early 1969.



The recording took place on 25 February 1969, Harrison's 26th birthday. During the session he also taped demos of Old Brown Shoe and Something, all of which were released on Anthology 3 in 1996.

Harrison wanted all three to become Beatles songs, although Old Brown Shoe and Something went on to be recorded by the group. All Things Must Pass had also previously been put forward frequently during the Get Back sessions in January 1969; that it wasn't recorded properly by The Beatles suggests that either the other members didn't like the song, or that Harrison decided that they didn't deserve it.

All Things Must Pass was the simplest of the 25 February demo recordings. Harrison recorded two takes, then added extra guitar onto the second.

The lyrics were based on a translation of part of chapter 23 of the Tao Te Ching. A translation was included in Timothy Leary's 1966 book Psychedelic Prayers After The Tao Te Ching, under the heading All Things Pass:

All things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
Psychedelic Prayers After The Tao Te Ching
