All Things Must Pass by George Harrison - ***

First released: 1970

You’d think that this song was composed as a result of The Beatles break-up, but in reality, it was demoed during the 1969 "Get Back" sessions. That version was finally released on "Anthology 3" in 1996. A different demo snippet is featured on 2003's "Fly on the Wall". George recorded it in this finished version and decided to title his first post-Beatles album after it.

You’d also think that a song like this would be nasty and biting, but instead it is a beautiful ballad of acceptance.
