No matter the situation, Harrison’s lyrics are a much-needed reminder of our humanity.Shudder’s new documentary This Is GWAR, directed by Scott Barber, charts the history and progress of one of the most insidious threats the planet Earth has ever encountered: An art collective who answer only to themselves and, possibly, their legion of fans. The song’s lyrics fit any situation of social or political unrest, whether it was the fallout of the Vietnam War or the crippling COVID-19 pandemic. This song has clearly made an impression on the world of artists, and it’s also struck a chord with countless listeners over the years. Peter Frampton also released his version of the song on his 2021 covers album Frampton Forgets the Words. “Isn’t It A Pity” has been covered several times by the likes of Nina Simone and Eric Clapton.
We all tend to break each other’s hearts, taking and not giving back.” “Isn’t It A Pity” in the World Today It was a chance to realize that if I felt somebody had let me down, then there’s a good chance I was letting someone else down.
“Instead of whatever other people do (like breaking each other’s jaws) I wrote a song. “‘Isn’t It A Pity’ is about whenever a relationship hits a down point,” Harrison stated in his autobiography, I Me Mine. The song itself possesses pointed lyrics with Harrison’s legendary slide guitar playing. Initially rejected by The Beatles, Harrison wrote “Isn’t It A Pity” in 1966. “Version 1” is the longer form song that ran over seven minutes, and the second version runs at just under five minutes. His 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass had 23 new songs on it, two of which were “Isn’t It A Pity (Version 1)” and “Isn’t It A Pity (Version 2).”
So, once The Beatles officially broke up in 1970, Harrison unleashed an avalanche of music onto listeners. He had been sitting on a mountain of songs that he wrote but didn’t make the cut for a Beatles record. Harrison, in particular, felt smothered by the band in the late 1960s. Tensions were running high amongst The Beatles in their final days together.
