George Harrison wrote this song for Bob Dylan and it became one of rock's most beautiful love songs
The paths of rock legends George Harrison and Bob Dylan first crossed in 1964, sparking a friendship that would profoundly shape both their lives and music. This unexpected bond inspired a deeply personal co-written song that opened Harrison's iconic debut solo album, a poignant ballad celebrating loyalty and connection.
The Beatles, already global sensations, first encountered Bob Dylan in 1964 during their American tour. This meeting proved pivotal, with Dylan famously introducing the Fab Four to marijuana and influencing their shift towards more introspective songwriting. George Harrison, in particular, was drawn to Dylan's lyrical depth and unique artistic vision.
By late 1968, a frustrated George Harrison, feeling stifled within The Beatles, sought refuge at Bob Dylan’s home near Woodstock, New York. Dylan, recovering from a motorcycle accident, was at a quieter, more guarded period in his life. Harrison noticed Dylan's reticence, prompting a desire to connect.
