Central Park held a memorial for John Lennon (posted on YouTube) with thousands in attendance singing Lennon’s song “Give Peace a Chance.” Six months later, George Harrison brought back a song that had been in he works just a month before Lennon’s murder, titled “All Those Years Ago.” He changed some of the lyrics to fit his feelings about Lennon both as a person and about how he died. Lyrics such as “And you were the one they backed up to the wall” refer to the misunderstandings that the general public occasionally had toward Lennon, stating that some believed Lennon to be a “weirdo.”
According to Express, years after releasing “All Those Years Ago,” Harrison explained that he had not seen Lennon for around two years prior to his death, but knew that he was always “on the other end of the telephone” if he did want to speak to him. “That’s the difference,” Harrison said.
