The story behind the song

This song explores the transient nature of human existence and the ephemeral character of life and love. Inspired by a psychedelic adaptation of the Tao Te Ching, the lyrics use metaphors involving weather and the cycle of nature to reflect impressions of optimism against fatalism. George Harrison wrote the song in 1968 after spending time with The Band, whose sound influenced its composition. At its heart, it plays like a meditation on acceptance and the ever-changing flow of life.
