By George Harrison


WHEN EV'RY SONG IS SUNG,
WHEN EV'RY BELL'S BEEN RUNG,
WHEN EV'RY PICTURE'S HUNG,
I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.
WHEN EV'RY WIND HAS BLOWN,
WHEN EV'RY SEED IS SOWN,
WHEN EV'RYTHING IS KNOWN,
THEN I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW THAT I'LL LOVE YOU,
YES, I WILL.
YOU KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU,
ALWAYS WILL, UNTIL

WHEN EV'RY SOUL IS FREE,
WHEN EV'RY EYE CAN SEE,
WHEN PEOPLE ALL AGREE,
THEN I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU,
YES, I DO.
WHEN TIMES GETS SO HARD, YOU KNOW,
I'LL BE THERE LOVING YOU.

YOU KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU,
YES, I WILL.
YES I'M GONNA HOLD YOU, NEED YOU, LOVE YOU,
ALWAYS WILL, LOVE YOU STILL.

WHEN EV'RY NOTE'S BEEN SUNG,
WHEN EV'RY BELL'S BEEN RUNG,
WHEN EV'RY PICTURE'S HUNG,
I'LL STILL LOVE YOU.





I REALLY LOVE YOU.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ringo Starr's song I'll Still Love You, written by George Harrison, express the deep and unwavering love that the singer has for someone else. The song essentially conveys the message that no matter what happens in the world and no matter how much things may change, the singer's love will remain constant and unchanging. The song uses imagery in the form of hypothetical scenarios to depict the inevitability of change but also the consistency of the singer's love.


The lyrics speak about when every song is sung, every bell is rung, every picture is hung, every wind has blown, every seed has been sown, when everything is known, and even when every soul is free, and when people all agree, the singer will still love the person. These hypothetical scenarios represent the various changes and events that will occur in the course of time, but the love shared between the two will remain unaffected, which the singer reinforces with the repeated refrain "I'll still love you".


Even in difficult times, when times get so hard, the singer will still be there holding and loving the person, which is also mirrored in the final refrain "love you still". The song showcases the depth of love that is capable of transcending time, circumstances, and even the unpredictability of life, making it an everlasting classic.

When every seed is sown
When everything is known
Then i'll still love you

You know that i'll love you
Yes, i will
You know i'll love you, love you, love you
Always will, until

This was a great song written by George Harrison, my favorite Beatle. We could argue all day about who was the most talented member of the group, but there is little argument that George was very undervalued as a contributing songwriter in the group and much of his post-Beatles work proves it was not justified.

Check out his demo of this song!

One thing for sure, There´s no doubt who was the less talented.

Ringo's finest song. Written by George Harrison. Great production by Arif Mardin and guitar work by Lon Van Eaton.

Great song, Lennon/McCartney wasn't the only great collaboration there was also Harrison/Starkey!
