| | All Those Years Ago Lyrics Artist(Band):George Harrison
While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago. Hear them talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love. Living with good and bad I always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone the devil's best friend Someone who offended all. We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who Imagined it all All those years ago. Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else that we despised. They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago If you find some error in All Those Years Ago Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about All Those Years Ago God is love | Reviewer: Milo | 5/31/09 The whole point of the song is that love is the cure for what ails us, and that John was critized as being "weird" for having the courage to relay this message. Ironic isn't it? As for religious belief, I think that no matter where on the spectrum one's beliefs lie, the common denominator is love... Shed some light | Reviewer: Mauro | 3/4/09 To all the comments. First of all, it's true that this song was first intended for Ringo and had different lyrics. Around that time John was murdered, so George decided to use this song as a tribute to him. It doesn't matter what the frist purpose of the melody was, nor does it mean that George didn't care for John. He just thought it fit to use this new tune to express his feelings and admiration for John after such atrocity happened. Second, John was an atheist meaning he didn't agree with the existing dogmas or the bureaucracy religion has always denoted. That doesn't mean he didn't believe in something else. You can pray for anything. Now, George was a religious person, and he truly believed in god. That's why he says: They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird Here he states that, according to his point of view, we all exist thanks to God but most people seem to have forgotten all about god. Yet, these same people were the ones who criticised John for not believeng in "that" God (example song "God"), although in practice they seem to have forgotten "him" tool. Hope the explanation is clear! All Those Years Ago | Reviewer: angelical99 | 3/27/08 I don't think this song was originally written "for" Ringo meaning as a tribute to him per se, but rather it was written for Ringo to record. I'm not sure if Lennon was truly an atheist. Twice in his song "Beautiful Boy" he says, "Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer." So I'm thinking he believed in some higher power. All those years ago | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/15/07 Hmmmm, I'm not sure how to take this song as a tribute. It was originally penned with different lyrics as a song for Ringo, then John was killed, so I wonder how much of it was changed and what the original content was. Catchy tune, fishy lyrics. wondering | Reviewer: Kyle | 8/20/07 wasnt lennon atheist? if so, why would harrison write that god is the only reason we exist? dont get me wrong, i LOVE the beatles, they were the most talented, and most profound musicians and songwriters ever. No better tribute than this... | Reviewer: Josh | 5/2/07 Written by George when his "Big Brother" John was murdered. What a beautiful tribute to a fallen friend, hero, brother. All Those Years Ago | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/20/04 This song is more relevant today than when it was written. Can there be any doubt that we've "forgotten all about God"?
