So Sad ~ Lyrics
Now the winter has come
To eclipse out the sun
That has lighted my love for sometime
And a cold wind now blows
Not much tenderness flows
From the heart of someone feeling so tired
And he feels so alone
With no love of his own
So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad

While his memory raced
With much speed and great haste
Through the problems of being there
In his heart at arm's length
Held within its great strength
To ward off such a great despair
But he feels so alone
With no love of his own
So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad

Take the dawn of the day
And give it away
To someone who can fill the part
Of the dream we once held
Now it's got to be shelved
It's too late to make a new start
And he feels so alone
With no love of his own
So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad
I've been listening to this rather obscure release since I found 'dark Horse' on vinyl in about 1987 in a second hand vinyl shop to my delight as at that time it was not available to buy new. "Deleted from catalog" was what I was told at the time. I arranged it from George's recording. I plugged the guitar in and used a bit of 'chorus' effect on it to try and catch the spirit of that sound George created.I always thought it was a gem from him. Here's to you George, wherever you are....
'Dark Horse is the fourth studio album by George Harrison, released on Apple Records in December 1974 as the follow-up to Living in the Material World. Although keenly anticipated on release, Dark Horse is synonymous with the well-attended, yet ultimately infamous North American tour carried out in support of the album − the first US tour by a member of The Beatles since August 1966, but a venture that would turn out to be Harrison's only set of performances there as a solo artist.
The album features an array of guest musicians, including Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Ringo Starr, Nicky Hopkins, Gary Wright, Willie Weeks, Ron Wood and Jim Keltner, and spawned two hit singles, in "Dark Horse" and "Ding Dong, Ding Dong". It showed Harrison moving towards the funk musical genre, although the album was not well received by critics at the time." courtesy www.wikipedia.org
