The story behind the song

This song was inspired by George Harrison's time away from music in 1977, when he traveled with the Formula 1 World Championship and befriended racing drivers. While it speaks to the challenges of achieving and maintaining success in motorsport, the lyrics are broadly applicable to anyone in a high-profile career, like a rock star. It explores the life of a racing driver, the fears of their loved ones, the thrill for spectators, and the rivalries among competitors. At its heart, the song captures the intense, high-stakes world of competitive pursuits.
