What was on the B-side of the Album "Somewhere in England", the song was writen as a tribute to his former Beatles band mate following the latter's murder on 8 December 1980?
Writing's on the Wall (George Harrison song) "Writing's on the Wall" is a song by English musician George Harrison from his 1981 album "Somewhere in England". It was also the B-side of the album's lead single, "All Those Years Ago", which Harrison wrote as a tribute to his former Beatles bandmate John Lennon. In his lyrics, Harrison sings of the transient nature of life and the importance of recognising a spiritual purpose. Although the song was written long before Lennon's murder in New York in December 1980, the lyrics' reference to how easily friends can be shot down and killed led listeners to interpret it as a further comment on Lennon's death.
