“[George is] 44 now, his stubble-beard shows flecks of gray, and after George Harrison laughs — which he does often — the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes don’t completely uncrinkle. ‘I think, in one way, it’s good getting old,’ says Harrison. ‘When you do things when you’re young, you just don’t think about it. You’re crazy, like the Beatles. We were crazy, but if you went on being like that, you’d be put away. So there’s a time to mellow out.’ He is mellow enough, nowadays, to view the past with a pleasant nostalgia and the future with bemused curiosity. 'You know, we’re all going to be 60 now,’ he says of the next major chronological hurdle facing his friends. 'In another 20 years, I’m going to be 64’ — a thought that sets him to singing, just under his breath, the chorus to the Beatles hit When I’m Sixty-Four. […] [E]asing into middle age, he savors 'hanging out with some of my friends, just having dinner and a bottle of wine.’ And for a wild time, there’s always… cricket?! 'Eric and Elton, they’re really into it,’ says Harrison. 'Now, I’ve hated cricket all my life. But they’ve got me going to the matches in this nice little English town, drinking beer, laughing. All the guys on the album are getting even nicer now, the older they get. I think we’ve all had similar times and experiences, and because of that, in each other’s company, we can just make fun and have a real laugh.’ All things considered, he says, 'you can’t ask for much more than that, really.’” - People, 19 Oct 1987 (x)
Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
This song, released in 1992 was written by Eric Clapton after the death of his 4 year old son, in march 20th 1991.
This song is about imagining founding back his son in heaven...
[Verse 1] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I must be strong and carry on ‘Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven
[Verse 2] Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I'll find my way through night and day ‘Cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven
[Bridge] Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please Begging please
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus] Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in Heaven
[Verse 3] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would you be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus/Outro] I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven
