246 - All those years ago...

All Those Years Ago es la canción que, junto con Ringo, compuso George (Harrison) en honor a John Lennon quien murió un 8 de diciembre (1981). Esta canción salió en el disco Somewheree in England de George (como solista); para grabarla participaron Ringo Starr en la batería y Paul y Linda McCartney acompañando la voz de George.

Yo no había nacido cuando murió John, ni cuando salió esta canción, así que no me imagino el shock que habrá sido para el mundo Beatlero y Lennonero, pero sin duda sigue siendo un día que trae consigo cierto sentimiento de desolación, aún para quienes no vivimos aquel fatídico día.


[ve el video All Those Years Ago, canción de George para Johnn]

Im 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.

Im talking all about how to give
They dont 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 were left cold and sad
By someone the devils best friend
Someone who offended all.

Were living in a bad dream
Theyve 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.

Theyve forgotten all about god
Hes 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
