"Art of Dying" (sometimes titled "The Art of Dying") is a song past English language stone musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison began writing the song in 1966 while nonetheless a member of the Beatles and during a period when he had first become enamoured with Hindu-aligned spirituality and other aspects of Indian culture. The subject thing is reincarnation and the need to avoid rebirth, by limiting actions and thoughts that lead to one'due south soul returning in another, earthbound life form.

Harrison recorded "Art of Dying" in London shortly afterwards the Beatles' break-up in April 1970. The vocal was co-produced by Phil Spector and features a hard rock organization. The bankroll musicians include Eric Clapton and the rest of the latter's short-lived band Derek and the Dominos, likewise as Gary Wright, Baton Preston, Bobby Keys and Jim Price. The song has received praise from several music critics; among these, James Hunter of Rolling Rock described it as a "spookily proto-disco" performance by "a rock orchestra recorded with sensitivity and teeth and faraway mikes".[ane]

Since Harrison'southward death in November 2001, the lyrics accept received further recognition as a comment on the nature of human existence. The song has been interpreted in the jazz style by American guitarist Joel Harrison and as a grunge piece by the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Lodge.

Background and limerick [edit]

For the terminal 30 or more years of his life, George Harrison repeatedly identified his showtime feel of taking the hallucinogenic drug LSD, with John Lennon and their wives, as being responsible for his interest in spirituality and Hinduism.[2] [3] [iv] [5] The "trip" occurred by accident in February 1965,[half-dozen] [7] [8] and he later recalled a thought coming to his mind during the experience: "'Yogis of the Himalayas.' I don't know why ... It was like somebody was whispering to me: 'Yogis of the Himalayas.'"[v] A visit in August 1967 to the epicentre of hippie counterculturalism, San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, then persuaded him to abandon LSD and pursue a spiritual path through meditation.[9] [10] By that signal, Harrison had already immersed himself in Indian classical music, which is irrevocably tied to spirituality,[11] [12] and dealt with what writer Ian MacDonald terms "the spiritual aridity of mod life"[13] in his vocal "Inside You lot Without Yous" (on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper'southward Lonely Hearts Gild Band).[14] [15]

Harrison began writing "Art of Dying" in 1966. Citing comments made by Harrison in a 1969 interview, musicologist Walter Everett says that Harrison possibly drew inspiration from Timothy Leary's text in the book The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Volume of the Dead.[xvi] The song is defended to the Hindu concept of reincarnation and the inevitability of death, as outlined in the opening verse:[17]

In that location'll come a time when all of us must leave hither
In that location's nothing Sister Mary tin can exercise, volition keep me here with you lot
Every bit aught in this life that I've been trying
Can equal or surpass the Art of Dying.

According to author Alan Clayson, the song's championship and field of study affair suggest a familiarity with the fifteenth-century Latin text Ars Moriendi.[18] The mention of "Sister Mary" refers to the Cosmic faith in which Harrison had been brought upward equally a child.[19] Speaking to author Peter Doggett, Harrison'south sister Louise qualified his embracing of Hinduism with regard to his upbringing: "Our family were Catholics, just we always had a global outlook. Nosotros were spiritual, non religious as such. George didn't change as a person after he went to Bharat [in 1966] …"[20] Rather than Sister Mary, Harrison's original lyric named "Mr Epstein" – the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein.[21] [22] Author Bruce Spizer speculates that Harrison was "contemplating life after the Beatles" every bit early as mid 1966, since "most of the song'south original verses recognise that even Mr. Epstein won't exist able to keep the group together or assist out when it'south over ..."[23]

A depiction of the Hindu view of reincarnation, whereby the self or soul (atman) repeatedly takes on a physical trunk, until moksha. The concept forms the ground of Harrison'south lyrics in "Art of Dying".

Harrison says in his autobiography, I, Me, Mine, that in most cases one'due south soul does not in fact "leave here" after death, due to the karmic debt, or "load", accrued through actions and thoughts carried out in one's lifetime.[24] This point is illustrated in the third verse of "Art of Dying":[25]

There'll come up a time when near of u.s. return here
Brought back past our want to exist a perfect entity
Living through a meg years of crying
Until you realize the Art of Dying.

The mention of "a million years of crying" is a reference to the endless wheel of rebirth associated with reincarnation, where the soul repeatedly fails to leave the textile world and attain nirvana,[26] otherwise known every bit moksha.[27] [28]

Written in a period presently before "karma", "mantra", "guru" and "māyā" all became primal words in his vocabulary,[29] Harrison shows an acknowledgment of possible confusion on the part of his listeners, and a degree of humour,[17] with the questions that appear at the end of the verses, "Are yous however with me?" and "Do you believe me?"[25] The subject of rebirth was ane he would return to frequently throughout his solo career,[thirty] notably on "Give Me Honey (Give Me Peace on Earth)", with its pleas "Keep me free from nascence" and "Assist me cope with this heavy load".[31] [32] [nb i]

Recording [edit]

I've got about 40 tunes I haven't recorded [with the Beatles], and some of them I think are quite good. I wrote one called "The Art of Dying" three years agone, and at that time I thought it was too far out. Simply I'1000 nevertheless going to record it.[36]

– George Harrison, September 1969

"Fine art of Dying" was one of many compositions that Harrison stockpiled during the Beatles' career[37] [38] due to the connected dominance of the ring's principal songwriters, Lennon and Paul McCartney.[23] When discussing his plans for making a solo album in an October 1969 interview, Harrison referred to "Art of Dying", proverb he had been "working on a song about reincarnation since 1966".[39] On 26 May 1970, a month after the Beatles' break-up, it was 1 of at least xv songs performed past Harrison for producer Phil Spector's benefit at Abbey Road Studios in London,[40] with a view to narrowing downward the cloth under consideration for All Things Must Laissez passer.[41] [nb ii] Harrison performed the song on acoustic guitar, merely as with "Isn't It a Compassion", "Run of the Factory", "Allow It Down" and other selections, its organization was transformed significantly as the album sessions progressed.[23] In the case of "Art of Dying", Spector gave the track a heavy production for the official release;[44] authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter describe the product as a "[big] 'kitchen sink' job".[22] A widely bootlegged version known as "Art of Dying (Accept 9)", comprising a band performance dominated by audio-visual rhythm guitars and piano,[45] with Ringo Starr on drums, sees the song somewhere midway between the solo run-through and the All Things Must Pass arrangement.[22] This take 9, played in the central of B ♭ minor, a semitone upwards from that of the official version of the vocal, was still in contention for release during the anthology's mixing phase.[22] [nb iii]

In a chapter discussing All Things Must Pass in his 2010 autobiography, American musician Bobby Whitlock writes of recording the song: "It was awesome when nosotros were doing 'The Art of Dying,' Eric [Clapton] on that wah-wah and it was all cooking, Derek and the Dominos with George Harrison."[47] The sessions led to the formation of Derek and the Dominos,[48] [49] whose four members – Clapton, Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon – all played on the track.[50] In a 1990 interview, Clapton said, "We fabricated our basic, really, on that anthology with George", since the iv musicians had no formal plans to work as a band beforehand.[51]

The released version of "Art of Dying" is in the hard rock style.[17] The track begins with what author Elliot Huntley terms Clapton's "firecracking" lead guitar,[xxx] and is propelled by Gordon'due south drumming and Radle's urgent bass.[17] [nb four] Jim Price's horn system provides a countermelody to the various A pocket-sized voicings in the song'south instrumental passages[52] through to its "galloping" ending.[23] Testifying to the ferocity of the operation, Phil Collins later on recalled that his hands were and so badly blistered during the run-throughs of the vocal, he was unable to play his congas with any forcefulness once they came to record the track.[53] Although congas are absent in the final mix,[54] [55] the recording includes other percussion parts.[22]

Harrison listed Collins equally a contributor on the 2001 reissue of All Things Must Laissez passer.[56] [57] However, Collins writes in his 2016 autobiography that this credit was merely out of kindness, and that he did not play on the released version of "Art of Dying".[58] In Collins' recollection, the session he attended for the song was an before take from May 1970, featuring a different musical arrangement and with Starr, Klaus Voormann and Billy Preston as the other musicians.[59] [nb five] Earlier giving Collins the mistaken credit in 2001, Harrison sent him a tape that he said was a recording of the song with his conga playing. Collins recalled in a 2016 interview, "I thought, Oh, my god, this sounds terrible." Collins added that the tape was a practical joke at his expense, since Harrison had asked percussionist Ray Cooper to deliberately play poorly, maxim: "Play bad, I'm going to record it and ship information technology to Phil."[55] [60]

Release and reception [edit]

… and so there was the globe after the Beatles, when [Harrison] and his music seemed to open and blossom. I will never forget the first time I heard All Things Must Pass ... Information technology was similar walking into a cathedral. George was making spiritually awake music – we all heard and felt it ...[61]

– Martin Scorsese, recalling the release of "Art of Dying" and Harrison's other spiritually themed songs on All Things Must Pass

Apple Records released All Things Must Laissez passer on 27 November 1970,[62] with "Art of Dying" sequenced as the second track on side 4, in the triple album's original, LP format.[63] While describing the positive response to the album, writer Robert Rodriguez includes the vocal as an illustration of how Harrison's talent had been "hidden in plain sight" behind Lennon and McCartney during the Beatles' career.[64] Rodriguez writes: "That the Tranquility Beatle was capable of such range – from the joyful 'What Is Life' to the meditative 'Isn't Information technology a Pity' to the steamrolling 'Fine art of Dying' to the playful 'I Dig Love' – was revelatory."[64] On 10 December, a portion of the song was included in a segment on the Great britain idiot box show Top of the Pops that focused on All Things Must Pass.[65]

The anthology's release coincided with a flow when religion and spirituality was emerging as a pop theme in rock music and youth culture.[66] [67] "Art of Dying" exemplified Harrison'due south focus on Hindu-aligned religious concepts equally a solo artist from 1970 onwards.[68] [69] In his gimmicky review for Rolling Stone, Ben Gerson wrote of the wide range of styles constitute on All Things Must Laissez passer and recognised "Art of Dying" every bit "a song of reincarnation" with a tune that he likened to "Paint It Blackness" by the Rolling Stones.[70] Village Vocalization contributor Nicholas Schaffner described it as an "essay" on the subject of reincarnation.[71] In December 1972, Andrew Davies of Tape Mirror cited the vocal in his cess of the Beatles equally solo artists, saying that All Things Must Pass and Harrison's arrangement of the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh projection ensured he had "far surpassed" Lennon and McCartney since the band's break-up. Davies said that Harrison's lyrics "never sink into banality or get pretentious" and so he could accost the themes in "Fine art of Dying" "without becoming slushy and sentimental".[72]

Reviewing the 30th anniversary edition of the album, James Hunter of Rolling Stone enthused about the performance: "Imagine a rock orchestra recorded with sensitivity and teeth and faraway mikes: bluesy and intricate on Harrison and Dylan'south 'I'd Have You lot Anytime,' fizzy on 'Apple tree Scruffs,' grooving on 'Let It Downward,' and spookily proto-disco on 'Art of Dying.'"[1] In another 2001 review, for The New York Times, Jody Rosen grouped "Art of Dying" with "Wah-Wah" and "Hear Me Lord" as examples of how Spector successfully transformed Harrison's compositions on an "operatic scale". Rosen added: "The symphonic squall of these songs seems less near rock star hubris than Mr. Harrison's straining to express outsized emotions – sorrow, regret, longing, writ very large."[73] [nb 6]

In his feature on Harrison's solo career for Goldmine magazine in 2002, Dave Thompson paired "Art of Dying" with "Beware of Darkness" as songs that "rate amid the finest compositions of Harrison's entire career".[75] Writing for Uncut in 2008, David Cavanagh said that, while "My Sugariness Lord" was the best-known of the spiritually themed songs on All Things Must Pass, "Fine art of Dying" was the near "far-sighted", with a lyric that "saw the 27-year-old Harrison prepare for death in an ecstasy of resolved, purified karma".[76] Writing in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Earlier You Dice, Andrew Gilbert highlights "Art of Dying" as an instance of the "finely crafted, spiritually charged songs" that ensure that All Things Must Laissez passer "only sounds ameliorate with time".[77] Damian Fanelli of Guitar World includes the song among the best of Clapton'due south many collaborations with members of the Beatles. He describes it as "outstanding" and "wah-tastic ... the closest Harrison got to hard rock as a solo artist".[78]

Legacy [edit]

Harrison in the Hindu holy city of Vrindavan in 1996

Mikal Gilmore of Rolling Stone concluded his 2002 commodity "The Mystery Inside George" with a annotate on the relevance of "Art of Dying" to Harrison's legacy. He said the song reflected Harrison's recognition that manifesting love is "amid the highest purposes of life" as well as an appreciation that "Sometime darkness is irrefutable, and sometimes love and understanding can't save a troubled heart or a soul in impairment's manner." Gilmore added that the "love story" surrounding the Beatles best illustrated such a "dichotomy" and none of the band members "carried that knowledge with greater weight, yearning or accolade than George Harrison".[79]

In Martin Scorsese'south 2011 documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material Earth, the song'due south significance is highlighted in the context of the knife attack Harrison endured in December 1999, two years before his death from cancer, when an intruder bankrupt into his home in Oxfordshire.[lxxx] [81] In his article on the picture show, Joe Bosso of Music Radar says that "mastering the art of dying" had been Harrison's prime concern during his final years; he cites Olivia Harrison'southward and Starr's corresponding comments equally indicating that Harrison achieved his spiritual goal.[82] Harrison's son Dhani supported this contention in a 2002 interview, and he said that his father had found a contentment and lightheartedness that contrasted with the "more serious" outlook evident in "Art of Dying" and "All Things Must Pass".[83] [nb 7]

On the 2002 Hare Krishna Tribute to George Harrison DVD, in which devotees from the Radha Krishna Temple (London) offered their reminiscences on Harrison,[85] Shyamsundar Das, a lifelong devotee, expressed his certainty that Harrison had achieved a state of transcendence in line with Hindu teachings. Shyamsundar quoted from the lyrics to "Fine art of Dying" while remarking that Harrison had successfully grasped the principles of moksha fifty-fifty by the late 1960s.[86] Also in 2002, a Beliefnet writer commented on Harrison'due south preparations for death and wrote of the song:

In "Fine art of Dying", Harrison reminds usa that death is life's greatest opportunity. There comes a time when each of us must leave this textile globe, and no amount of prayer and scientific discipline can proceed us hither – but what we truly are does not cease to exist. The Bhagavad-Gita teaches that "Never was there a fourth dimension when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the time to come shall any of united states cease to be."[28]

New Zealand Herald journalist Graham Reid cited the song's lyrics and Harrison's example in an commodity he wrote about the contrasting ways that individuals face the notion of death and live accordingly.[87]

In Jan 1991, Starr contributed a preface to the book Walking After Midnight in which he reproduced Harrison's I, Me, Mine entry on "Art of Dying".[88] The book followed the 1988 documentary film Walking After Midnight,[88] in which well-known figures such equally Starr, Martin Sheen, Willie Nelson, Donovan and the Dalai Lama speculate on their past incarnations.[89] [nb eight] Gary J. Moore of the Staten Isle Advance referenced Harrison'south vocal and Olivia's description of her married man's passing in his review of Katy Butler's 2019 book The Art of Dying Well, in which Butler outlines practical steps to prepare for death.[91] [nb ix]

Among Harrison biographers, Elliot Huntley describes "Art of Dying" as "certainly the most dramatic" runway on All Things Must Pass and "one of the most scintillating rock songs in the Harrison canon".[30] Ian Inglis writes that "Fine art of Dying" fully reflects Harrison'southward "mail service-Beatles confidence" and notes the Eye Eastern "musical antecedents" despite the obvious Hindu concepts within the lyrics.[93] In his volume While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Simon Leng views "Fine art of Dying" as picking up "where 'Tomorrow Never Knows' and 'Within You lot Without You' paused", and adds: "If ever a song challenged the one-eyed nature of the rock world, this is it. Nothing could be farther from superficial pop culture."[17]

Other versions [edit]

Harrison never performed "Art of Dying" live,[94] although he included it in his proposed setlist for the Concert for Bangladesh,[95] which took place at Madison Square Garden in New York on 1 Baronial 1971.[96] Jim Horn'southward horn chart for the song is reproduced at the cease of I, Me, Mine.[97] The acoustic demo of "Fine art of Dying" from May 1970 has been available unofficially since the 1990s on the bootleg Beware of ABKCO! [98] [99] Early mixes of the released track, showing the recording at various stages during the overdubbing process, have been issued on the bootlegs The Making of All Things Must Pass [100] and Songs for Patti – The Mastertape Version.[101] The latter too includes the discarded "Take 9" version.[101]

This is a shoegazey grunge song!' They unlocked that song for me."[108] Megan Volpert of PopMatters similarly considers it to exist ane of the concert'due south 2 "peculiarly groovy, more interpretive covers". She highlights the use of slide guitar as a "assuming" new characteristic, given the reverence afforded Harrison's slide playing.[109] In his review for American Songwriter, Hal Horowitz also considers BRMC's performance to be amid the best at George Fest and he describes the song as a "seldom heard Harrison jewel".[107]

  3. ^ The master record sail lists take ix equally "Art of Dying (Version Ane)", with drums, bass, "stereo guitars", piano, percussion and vocals filling vii of the bachelor tracks on the 8-track tape.[46]
  4. ^ Simon Leng considers Clapton'due south guitar riff to be partly an accommodation of a "lick" played by Harrison on the Beatles' 1969 song "The Finish". He adds: "['The End'] had been a track on which Harrison was lauded for sounding like Clapton. Reincarnation indeed."[52]

  6. ^ Reviewing Starsailor's album Silence Is Like shooting fish in a barrel in 2004, Jason Heller of Westword said that the track "Four to the Flooring" was "eerily similar" to "Art of Dying", a gesture he viewed as "either mocking or paying tribute to Spector" subsequently Starsailor had dismissed Spector from the project.[74]
  7. ^ Shortly after Harrison's death, drummer Jim Keltner similarly reflected: "George has been prepared for this for a long fourth dimension. Merely listen to his songs; for instance, he wrote and sang 'The Art of Dying' over 30 years ago ... It'southward us who weren't prepared. And then nosotros flounder around looking for words to endeavor and depict him and flounder around bargain[ing] with non ever hearing his voice again, ya know."[84]
