Best known as lead guitarist of the The Beatles, George Harrisonalso achieved mainstream success as a solo artist. Smothered by the overwhelming songwriting egos of his Beatles band mates, John Lennonand Paul McCartney, Harrison never felt he was able to fully express himself as a member of the band. This along with his distinctive more eastern oriented style of music made sure that most of his vast backlog of songs was never released while he was with the Beatles. As tensions within the Beatles flared towards the end of the sixties, Harrison took the time to compile his solo material, from which he released his first album All Things Must Passin 1970. The album contains the two-time, number one hit, My Sweet Lord, and to this day remains the most commercially successful solo album by a Beatle.

Heading For The Light Lyrics
George Harrison
Ive wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
Ive rolled and Ive tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldnt see the sign that warned me, im
Heading for the light
Ooh - I didnt see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didnt know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I dont see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as im
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I dont see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as im
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, I aint never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now theres nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Now theres nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
