The story behind the song

"Blue Jay Way" captures a moment of hazy anticipation, written by George Harrison during a stay in the Hollywood Hills. The song documents his struggle to stay awake after a long flight, waiting for a friend to arrive through the fog. Its psychedelic sound, achieved through studio techniques and a drone-like organ, mirrors this disorienting experience. It's a musical journey into a state of tired, dreamlike waiting.
