This Song Came to George Harrison While He Was Brushing His Teeth

When George Harrison was in The Beatles, he didn’t get many chances to contribute his own songs. So he stockpiled his tunes and kept them at the ready, waiting for the day he left the band. In 1970, he entered the studio with tons of songs to choose from for his debut solo album, All Things Must Pass. Along with “My Sweet Lord,” there was another heavily religious song on the album, and it has an interesting back story.

In Martin Scorsese’s documentary, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, George says he was brushing his teeth when suddenly this melody came to him.

“I was cleaning my teeth… and suddenly in my head came this ‘You don’t need a dum dada-pmm pa-pmm-pa, you don’t need a bmm papa-bmm.’ All I had to do was pick up the guitar, find what key it was in, and fill in the missing words,” George said about the song, which would later become “Awaiting On You All.”
