This song closes out the first part of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass. (I would say that it closes out the first LP, but... in this day and age, I suppose that albums don't exist as "double" or "triple" albums that this was considered to be back in the day, but rather just long albums hanging out on your iPod, I suppose.)
In any case, I hadn't listened to the album in a really long while. It's good. It's long, and sort of monotonous. But that's a good thing, sometimes. After a long weekend like this, I needed something that's both somewhat melancholic and also hopeful. And this gives it to me for about 2 hours. It's perfect right now.
I had forgotten about the song posted over the course of the years since my last listen. I remember most of the album, or at least the famous stuff (My Sweet Lord, What Is Life) and the stuff I really liked (Isn't It A Pity (which is, for the record, the best non-Beatles Beatles song), Art Of Dying), but somehow Run Of The Mill slipped my mind.
I suppose that's alright, though. One of the best feelings going through something you haven't played for years is finding something you've dismissed or forgotten to be actually extremely enjoyable. Or at least it feels good right now. I guess, really, that it's not the *best* song George has ever written, and I can suppose why I might not have remembered it. But it's comforting at the moment. So screw it.
It's been a long day.
