"That Is All" is a song by English musician George Harrison released as the final track of his 1973 album Living in the Material World . A slow, heavily orchestrated ballad, it is one of many Harrison love songs that appear to be directed at either a woman or a deity. Harrison wrote and recorded the song during the height of his public devotion to Hinduism; on release, Rolling Stone described its lyrics as "a sort of Hindu In Paradisium ". [1]

Contents

Recording for "That Is All" took place in London in late 1972, following Harrison's completion of the international aid project begun the previous year with the Concert for Bangladesh. The other musicians on the track include keyboard players Gary Wright, whose fledgling solo career Harrison actively supported during the early 1970s, and Nicky Hopkins. The song's orchestral and choral arrangements were provided by John Barham, who had also worked on Harrison's album All Things Must Pass and Wright's Footprint . "That Is All" has been covered by singers Andy Williams and Harry Nilsson.

Background

As with all the songs on his 1973 album Living in the Material World except for "Try Some, Buy Some", [2] George Harrison wrote "That Is All" over 1971–72, [3] a period marked by both his heightened devotion to Hindu spirituality [4] [5] and his commitment to providing humanitarian aid for the refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War. [6] [7] With his own career taking second place to the latter endeavour, [8] following the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971, [9] [10] Harrison's musical activities included helping American musician Gary Wright establish himself as a solo artist. [11] [12] [nb 1] Wright's album Footprint was released in November that year and included "Love to Survive", [19] a song that author Simon Leng cites as having been an influence on Harrison's composition "That Is All". [20] "Love to Survive" was orchestrated by Harrison's All Things Must Pass arranger, John Barham, [21] who says that "musically there was a strong rapport" between himself, Harrison and Wright at this time. [22] The friendship was also based on a shared interest in Eastern spirituality, [23] [24] after Harrison had given Wright a copy of Autobiography of a Yogi , [25] a text that Ravi Shankar had introduced to Harrison when he visited India in 1966. [26]

In his autobiography, I, Me, Mine , Harrison comments only briefly on "That Is All", saying: "The melody came to me and I then had to think of lyrics. That's all." [27] Commentators have remarked on how, like many other Harrison compositions – "Long, Long, Long", "Something", "What Is Life", [28] "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long", "Learning How to Love You" and "Your Love Is Forever" among them [29] [30] – it serves as both a conventional love song to a woman and a declaration of devotion to God. [31] [32] Harrison said in a 1976 interview: "I think all love is part of a universal love. When you love a woman, it's the God in her that you see." [33]

The song is in the musical key of A. [34] Leng identifies the composition as a development of Harrison's favoured "Something" ballad style. [35] He writes that a number of "characteristic" Harrison musical devices are found in "That Is All" – such as a melody that rises by a half step with each line, and an A minor chord sharpened to an augmented triad "to create drama". [36]

Author Ian Inglis describes the song's melody as "romantic". Referring to its status as the last track on Living in the Material World, he also comments on the appropriateness of Harrison's opening words: [37] "That is all I want to say". [38] Inglis writes that Harrison goes on to state both "[what] he wants to do for his lover" and "what he hopes for in return", [37] in the respective lines "To try to love you more" and "A smile when I feel blue". [38]

Leng considers that the song's middle eight echoes the same "tongue-tied difficulty" that Harrison had first introduced in his 1966 composition "I Want to Tell You": [39]

Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before ...

According to Leng, the change here from a regular 4/4 time signature to 3/8 provides a "stuttering, hesitant syntax" that supports the message behind the words. [39]

Theologian Dale Allison views the concept of "words falling short" in these lyrics as central to "That Is All" and a recurring theme in Harrison's songwriting. [40] Allison also notes the importance of silence in this and other Harrison song lyrics, where it becomes "not an enemy to be shunned but ... a friend to be embraced, for silence can help conduct us to the Divine". [41] [nb 2] On release, part of the middle eight's lyrics, together with those for the final verse, [38] were identified by music critic Stephen Holden as "a sort of Hindu In Paradisium ". [1] While he considers "That Is All" to be a secular, "adult-oriented" love song, Inglis writes of Harrison's message in the middle eight: "language is insufficient to express the depth of his emotion; 'silence' can be more effective, more intimate, more loving." [37]

Recording

The recording sessions for Living in the Material World began in October 1972 [3] after Harrison had spent part of the summer staying with Wright in Portugal. [45] [46] Although Harrison had intended to co-produce the album with Phil Spector as before, he decided to work without him, [47] partly as a result of Spector's erratic behaviour at the start of the sessions. [48] [49] In his 2014 autobiography, Wright says that Spector's dismissal was "the right move"; [50] he describes Material World as his favourite Harrison album and "a beautiful masterpiece showing more of him – without Phil Spector's production". [51] Aside from Harrison, and Wright on keyboards, [51] the musicians on "That Is All" were Nicky Hopkins (on piano), Klaus Voormann (bass) and Jim Keltner (drums). [35]

As with "Who Can See It", another of the album's ballads, Harrison recorded "That Is All" using a Leslie rotary effect on his electric guitar. [52] Having long admired Spector as a producer, he employed elements of his signature production style throughout Material World, [53] but with a degree of subtlety in comparison to the big sound synonymous with All Things Must Pass. [54] [55] As on the latter album, [56] Harrison overdubbed further instrumentation onto the basic tracks recorded in October and November 1972; [57] in the case of "That Is All", the released recording includes a slide guitar solo, and a harpsichord part played by Wright. [31] The song also features string and brass orchestration and a choir, [35] all of which were arranged by John Barham. [58] [nb 3]

Work on the album extended through February 1973. [60] The London sessions for Barham's contributions marked the last time that Harrison worked with him during the 1970s. [61] Their collaborations had taken in Harrison's Wonderwall Music , All Things Must Pass and Living in the Material World, [62] as well as Apple projects for Billy Preston, [63] Jackie Lomax and Radha Krishna Temple (London). [64]

Release and reception

Apple Records issued Living in the Material World at the end of May 1973, or late June in Britain. [65] "That Is All" was sequenced to follow "The Day the World Gets 'Round", [66] a song that reflected Harrison's idealism after the Concert for Bangladesh, [67] as well as his frustration at the apathy of governments who had chosen not to intervene on the refugees' behalf. [68] As with eight other tracks on the album [69] and the 1973 B-side "Miss O'Dell", [70] Harrison donated his publishing royalties and the copyright [71] for "That Is All" to his Material World Charitable Foundation. [72]

Writing in Melody Maker , Michael Watts described Living in the Material World as "Harrison's personal statement" documenting his journey towards "a spiritual goal which for the first time he has been able to define". [73] Watts continued: "now he stands as something more than an entertainer. Now he's being honest. When you've been through all the bullshit and come out the other side, that's the only thing you can be." [73] In his review for Rolling Stone , Stephen Holden praised the album's "inspirationally, opulently, romantic" qualities, and he wrote of "That Is All" and "The Day the World Gets 'Round" as "two devotional prayers whose solemn mantra-influenced melodies are barely able to sustain their lush orchestration. Yet they do, so that at the end we are left suspended in ethereality ..." Holden added that "a close listening from start to finish is roughly equivalent to participating in a mass spectacle of religious re-dedication – one that does not end with rousing anthems but in heavenly choirs." [1] Some reviewers objected to the preponderance of ballads on the album, however, [47] as well as the overt religiosity of many of its songs. [74]

In his book The Beatles Solo on Apple Records, Bruce Spizer describes "That Is All" as "a beautiful love song written either for a woman or the Lord". [31] Writing for Rough Guides, author and critic Chris Ingham similarly considers that "the 'love' [Harrison is] so desperate to express" in the song "seems directed as much to an earthly relationship as to any God", and he cites this as an example of the "restraint and, in places, considerable grace and beauty" adopted by Harrison on the album. [75] Among other Beatles biographers, Robert Rodriguez writes that the track "sums up the journey" in the same way as "Hear Me Lord" successfully concludes the song cycle on All Things Must Pass, [58] a view shared by Elliot Huntley, who admires "That Is All" as a "lush orchestral prayer where George really does prostrate himself at His feet". [76] Reviewing the 2014 Apple Years reissue of Material World, Joe Marchese of The Second Disc highlights "That Is All" among songs that combine to provide the album's "earnest and intensely personal, yet wholly accessible, statement". [77]

Cover versions

Given the song's mood and sentiment, authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter consider "That Is All" to have been suitable for inclusion on a Frank Sinatra album. [78] While Sinatra did not record it, the song was covered by singer Andy Williams, [79] who had been one of the many easy listening artists, along with Sinatra, to cover Harrison's "Something". [80] Featuring contributions from Hopkins, Voormann and Keltner, [81] Williams' version of "That Is All" appeared on his 1973 album Solitaire . [79] The recording was produced by Richard Perry, [81] with whom Harrison worked on Ringo Starr's album Ringo in Los Angeles [82] shortly after completing Living in the Material World. [83] [84]

Harry Nilsson, another associate of Harrison's, [85] recorded "That Is All" for his 1976 album ...That's the Way It Is . [86] [nb 4] The song appears twice there, as the opening track and as a reprise to close the album. [88] Author and critic Alyn Shipton comments that Nilsson's performance on "That Is All" marked a rare return to the upper-register singing style of his early career. Shipton describes Nilsson's break into falsetto as being "as good as anything he ever recorded". [89]

Personnel

Notes

  1. ↑ Although credited only for his contributions on guitar (as "George O'Hara"), [13] Harrison produced part of Wright's second solo album, Footprint , [14] and helped promote the release by arranging for Wright to perform on The Dick Cavett Show . [15] [16] In addition to joining Wright's band for that performance, [17] Harrison invited him to record at the Beatles' Apple Studio in 1972. [18]
  2. ↑ Among other examples, Harrison expresses the importance of silence in the posthumously released "Pisces Fish". [42] In his 1980 track "Sat Singing", he celebrates the process through which a higher consciousness is attained via meditation, [43] with the removal of noise and other physical distractions. [44]
  3. ↑ The bootleg album Living in the Alternate World includes an early mix of "That Is All" without many of the overdubs, and with only a partial guide vocal from Harrison. [59]
  4. ↑ In the spring of 1972, Harrison played slide guitar on Nilsson's Son of Schmilsson track "You're Breakin' My Heart". [87] Viewed as a "thoroughly nasty" song by Leng [10] (it was originally subtitled with the parenthetical phrase "So Fuck You"), this guest appearance by Harrison was in marked contrast to the devout recordings with which he was commonly associated during the early 1970s. [85]

Harrison's first solo releases – the Wonderwall Music film soundtrack (1968) and Electronic Sound (1969) – were almost entirely instrumental works, issued during the last two years of the Beatles' career. Following the band's break-up in April 1970, Harrison continued to produce recordings by his fellow Apple Records acts, notably former bandmate Ringo Starr. He recorded and collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Gary Wright.

"Photograph" is a song by English rock musician Ringo Starr that was released as the lead single from his 1973 album Ringo. Starr co-wrote it with George Harrison, his former bandmate from the Beatles. Although they collaborated on other songs, it is the only one officially credited to the pair. A signature tune for Starr as a solo artist, "Photograph" was an international hit, topping singles charts in the United States, Canada and Australia, and receiving gold disc certification for US sales of 1 million. Music critics have similarly received the song favourably; Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic considers it to be "among the very best post-Beatles songs by any of the Fab Four".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)</span> 1973 single by George Harrison

"Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It was also issued as the album's lead single, in May that year, and became Harrison's second US number 1, after "My Sweet Lord". In doing so, the song pushed Paul McCartney and Wings' "My Love" from the top of the Billboard Hot 100, marking the only occasion that two former Beatles have held the top two chart positions in America. The single also reached the top ten in Britain, Canada, Australia, and Holland.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">You (George Harrison song)</span> 1975 single by George Harrison

"You" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1975 album Extra Texture . It was also the album's lead single, becoming a top 20 hit in America and reaching number 9 in Canada. A 45-second instrumental portion of the song, titled "A Bit More of You", appears on Extra Texture also, opening side two of the original LP format. Harrison wrote "You" in 1970 as a song for Ronnie Spector, formerly of the Ronettes, and wife of Harrison's All Things Must Pass co-producer Phil Spector. The composition reflects Harrison's admiration for 1960s American soul/R&B, particularly Motown.

"Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It was scheduled to be issued as a single in September that year, as the follow-up to "Give Me Love ", but the release was cancelled. Music critics have traditionally viewed "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" as a highlight of the Material World album, praising its pop qualities and production, with some considering the song worthy of hit status.

"Sue Me, Sue You Blues" is a song written by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. Harrison initially let American guitarist Jesse Ed Davis record it for the latter's Ululu album (1972), in gratitude to Davis for his participation in the Concert for Bangladesh. When writing the song, Harrison drew inspiration from the legal issues surrounding the Beatles during the early months of 1971, particularly the lawsuit that Paul McCartney initiated in an effort to dissolve the band's business partnership, Apple Corps.

"Who Can See It" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. The lyrics reflect Harrison's uneasy feelings towards the Beatles' legacy, three years after the group's break-up, and serve as his statement of independence from expectations raised by the band's unprecedented popularity. Some music critics and biographers suggest that he wrote the song during a period of personal anguish, following the acclaim he had received as a solo artist with the 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass and his 1971–72 Bangladesh aid project. The revelatory nature of the lyrics has encouraged comparisons between Living in the Material World and John Lennon's primal therapy-inspired 1970 release, Plastic Ono Band.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">World of Stone</span> 1975 song by George Harrison

"World of Stone" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on Extra Texture , his final album for Apple Records. It was also issued as the B-side of the album's lead single, "You". Harrison wrote the song in 1973 but recorded it two years later, following the unfavourable critical reception afforded his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar and the Dark Horse album. Due to its context on release, commentators view "World of Stone" as a plea from Harrison for tolerance from these detractors. According to some of his biographers, the lyrics reflect Harrison's doubts regarding his devotion to a spiritual path – an apparent crisis of faith that followed his often-unwelcome spiritual pronouncements during the tour, and which permeated his work throughout 1975.

"Be Here Now" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1973 album Living in the Material World. The recording features a sparse musical arrangement and recalls Harrison's work with the Beatles during 1966–1968, through its Indian-inspired mood and use of sitar drone. Part of Harrison's inspiration for the song was the popular 1971 book Be Here Now by spiritual teacher Ram Dass – specifically, a story discussing the author's change in identity from a Western academic to a guru in the Hindu faith. Some Harrison biographers interpret "Be Here Now" as a comment from him on the public's nostalgia for the past following the Beatles' break-up.

"Hear Me Lord" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. It was the last track on side four of the original LP format and is generally viewed as the closing song on the album, disc three being the largely instrumental Apple Jam. Harrison wrote "Hear Me Lord" in January 1969 while still a member of the Beatles, who rehearsed it briefly at Twickenham Film Studios that month, but passed it over for inclusion on what became their final album, Let It Be.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Living in the Material World (song)</span> 1973 song by George Harrison

"Living in the Material World" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released as the title track of his 1973 album. In the song's lyrics, Harrison contrasts the world of material concerns with his commitment to a spiritual path, and the conflict is further represented in the musical arrangement as the rock accompaniment alternates with sections of Indian sounds. Inspired by Gaudiya Vaishnava teacher A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the song promotes the need to recognise the illusory nature of human existence and escape the constant cycle of reincarnation, and thereby attain moksha in the Hindu faith. The contrasts presented in "Living in the Material World" inspired the Last Supper-style photograph by Ken Marcus that appeared inside the album's gatefold cover, and also designer Tom Wilkes's incorporation of Krishna-related symbolism elsewhere in the packaging.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Deep Blue (song)</span> 1971 single by George Harrison

"Deep Blue" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released as the B-side to his 1971 charity single "Bangla Desh". Harrison wrote the song in 1970, midway through the recording sessions for All Things Must Pass, and recorded it in Los Angeles the following year while organising the Concert for Bangladesh. The composition was inspired by the deteriorating condition of his mother, Louise, before she succumbed to cancer in July 1970, and by Harrison's feelings of helplessness as he visited her in hospital in the north of England. Given the subject matter, "Deep Blue" also served to convey the suffering endured by the millions of refugees from war-torn Bangladesh in 1971, as sickness and disease became widespread among their makeshift camps in northern India.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Miss O'Dell</span> 1973 single by George Harrison

"Miss O'Dell" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side of his 1973 hit single "Give Me Love ". Like Leon Russell's "Pisces Apple Lady", it was inspired by Chris O'Dell, a former Apple employee, and variously assistant and facilitator to musical acts such as the Beatles, Derek & the Dominos, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Santana. Harrison wrote the song in Los Angeles in April 1971 while waiting for O'Dell to pay him a visit at his rented home. As well as reflecting her failure to keep the appointment, the lyrics provide a light-hearted insight into the Los Angeles music scene and comment on the growing crisis in East Pakistan that led Harrison to stage the Concert for Bangladesh in August that year.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Māya Love</span> 1974 single by George Harrison

"Māya Love" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1974 album Dark Horse. The song originated as a slide guitar tune, to which Harrison later added lyrics relating to the illusory nature of love – maya being a Sanskrit term for "illusion", or "that which is not". Harrison's biographers consider the lyrical theme to be reflective of his failed marriage to Pattie Boyd, who left him for his friend Eric Clapton shortly before the words were written. Harrison recorded the song at his home, Friar Park, on the eve of his North American tour with Ravi Shankar, which took place in November and December 1974. The recording features Harrison's slide guitar extensively and contributions from four musicians who formed the nucleus of his tour band: Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Willie Weeks and Andy Newmark. Reviewers note the track as an example of its parent album's more diverse musical genres, namely funk and rhythm and blues, compared with the more traditional rock orientation of Harrison's earlier solo work.

"The Answer's at the End" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on his final album for Apple Records, Extra Texture . Part of the song lyrics came from a wall inscription at Harrison's nineteenth-century home, Friar Park, a legacy of the property's original owner, Sir Frank Crisp. This aphorism, beginning "Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass", had resonated with Harrison since he bought Friar Park in 1970, and it was a quote he often used when discussing his difficult relationship with his former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney.

"Ooh Baby (You Know That I Love You)" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on his album Extra Texture (Read All About It). Harrison wrote the composition as a tribute to American singer Smokey Robinson, whom he often identified as one of his favourite vocalists and songwriters. The song was intended as a companion piece to Robinson's 1965 hit with the Miracles, "Ooo Baby Baby", and its inclusion on Extra Texture contributed to that album's standing as Harrison's soul music album. His impersonation of Robinson's celebrated vocal style on the track, including portions sung in falsetto, contrasted with Harrison's hoarse, laryngitis-marred singing on his 1974 North American tour and the poorly received Dark Horse album.

"Can't Stop Thinking About You" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on his final album for Apple Records, Extra Texture . A love song in the style of a soul/R&B ballad, it was written by Harrison in December 1973, towards the end of his marriage to Pattie Boyd and while he was having an affair with Maureen Starkey, the wife of his former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr. Having first considered the song for his 1974 release Dark Horse, Harrison recorded "Can't Stop Thinking About You" in Los Angeles in May 1975 for his so-called "soul album", Extra Texture. Some authors view its inclusion on the latter release as an obvious attempt by Harrison to commercialise the album, in response to the harsh critical reception afforded Dark Horse and his 1974 North American tour.

"You and Me (Babe)" is a song by English musician Ringo Starr, released as the final track on his 1973 album Ringo. Starr's fellow ex-Beatle George Harrison wrote the song along with Mal Evans, the Beatles' longtime aide and a personal assistant to Starr during the making of Ringo. The track serves as a farewell from Starr to his audience in the manner of a show-closing finale, by lyrically referring to the completion of the album. During the extended fadeout, Starr delivers a spoken message in which he thanks the musicians and studio personnel who helped with the recording of Ringo – among them, Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and his producer, Richard Perry.

"So Sad" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released on his 1974 album Dark Horse. Harrison originally recorded the song for his previous album, Living in the Material World, before giving it to Alvin Lee, the guitarist and singer with Ten Years After. Lee recorded it – as "So Sad " – with gospel singer Mylon LeFevre for their 1973 album On the Road to Freedom. The latter recording includes contributions from Harrison and marked the first of several collaborations between him and Lee.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">I Don't Care Anymore (George Harrison song)</span> 1974 single by George Harrison

"I Don't Care Anymore" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side of the lead single from his 1974 album Dark Horse. The A-side was "Dark Horse" in the majority of countries internationally and "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" elsewhere, including the United Kingdom. It is one of Harrison's relatively rare compositions in the country music genre and, equally unusual among his 1970s releases, the recording is a solo performance.
