Good stuff. I'll have to think on that awhile. About Paul being alive, I so want that to be the case, but I don't know. But more food for thought.
I think that if Paul just quit/retired, the musical clues wouldn't have sounded so desperate. It's like they weren't just suggesting ideas, they were screaming some of them. Hard for me to listen to the end of While my Guitar Gently Weeps, when George is practically sobbing, Paul, Paul, Paul. For the stage performance with Clapton, the back-up singers chanted Paul's name at the end. I didn't know that until fairly recently. Then when I listened to Blow Away, I've no doubt it refers to him missing Paul.
Once again, one fan's opinion.
George on the inspiration for this song;
"I was in the garden and it was pouring down with rain, and I suddenly became aware that I was feeling depressed, being affected by the weather. And it's important to remember
that while everything else around you changes, the soul within remains the same; you have to constantly remember that and fight for the right to be happy."
Blow Away
Song by George Harrison
Day turned black, sky ripped apart
Rained for a year till it dampened my heart
Cracks and leaks, the floorboards caught rot
About to go down, I had almost forgot
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away
Sky cleared up, day turned to bright
Closing both eyes now the head filled with light
Hard to remember what a state I was in
Instant amnesia, Yang to the Yin
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away
Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed
Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst
Breezes a-singing, now feeling good
The moment had passed like I knew that it should
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away, ooh
All I got to do is to, to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away.
