George Harrison believed, at least to some degree, that “All Things Must Pass.”

It’s a comforting and daunting sentiment believing that nothing lasts forever, and Harrison might’ve said it best.

At its core, the 1970 song is about moving on. For Harrison, this meant a few things, but most prominently it meant moving on from The Beatles after the band’s breakup in April 1970. In an interview with TV show host Dick Cavett in 1971, Harrison expressed his relief about The Beatles’ separating. “That’s what happened, and it was good, but it was also good to carry on [and] do something else.
