George contributed to the songwriting talents of his Beatles band mates, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, firstly by adding ideas and guitar parts, and later with his distinctive style of music inspired by Eastern spirituality. Ten years after Harrison's death, and forty-two years after its first release, his classic "Here Comes the Sun" is the number one Beatles download on iTunes.

After the Beatles stopped touring in 1966, George started writing more songs than could be fitted onto the albums so that by the time of the split he had built up a collection of songs, some used on his debut solo album, All Things Must Pass. The album, released in 1970, contains the two-time number one hit, "My Sweet Lord".

Harrison is also credited for creating music benefits, notably the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. Harrison played beside Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, and Leon Russell to a crowd of 40,000 in Madison Square Garden, New York. The show raised over $240,000 benefiting the George Harrison Fund for Bangladesh relief.

Harrison went on to release several successful solo albums, and in the late 1980s collaborated with Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, in a group called Traveling Wilburys. The group released two albums. Later, Harrison reunited with the other two surviving Beatles, after John Lennon's murder in 1980, to produce two final Beatles records, "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love" featuring the voice of Lennon, taken from home demos provided by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono. The three Beatles also co-wrote a massive autobiography and television special, both titled "The Beatles Anthology."

Before his death, Harrison conceived of a Cirque du Soleil show, "Love," featuring remixes of Beatles music which were overseen by Beatles producer George Martin.

Harrison died on November 29, 2001 after a battle with cancer, leaving behind a wife and son, Olivia and Dhani Harrison. His last album, Brainwashed, was released posthumously and featured the single "Any Road".

A benefit concert in Harrison's memory was played on 29 November 2002 at the Royal Albert Hall. The star-studded event (featuring Eric Clapton and Monty Python, as well as former band mates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) was released on the DVD double-album, Concert for George.

Go do it,
Got to go through that door
There's no easy was out at all
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone

For you who it always seems blue
It all comes, it never rains

But it pours,
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone

There in your heart
Something that's never changing
Always a part of
Something that's never aging
That's in your heart

It's so true it can happen to you all there
Knock and it will open wide

And it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone

The first stanza is essentially saying that in order to find love, we must be willing to take risks and go through unfamiliar or uncomfortable doorways. Love is never an easy or predictable journey and requires time, patience and perseverance from the people looking for it. In the second stanza, Harrison is empathising with people who are experiencing difficult times in their life and feel like they'll never find love. He's essentially saying that feeling blue is only temporary and it's important to trust that love will come eventually. Lastly, the chorus reassures listeners that everyone has the capacity to find love if they're prepared to be open and willing to take the necessary steps to make it happen.
