"Art of Dying" (sometimes titled "The Art of Dying") is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison began writing the song in 1966 while still a member of the Beatles and during a period when he had first become enamoured with Hindu-aligned spirituality and other aspects of Indian culture. The subject matter is reincarnation and the need to avoid rebirth, by limiting actions and thoughts that lead to one's soul returning in another, earthbound life form.

  • "Art of Dying" (sometimes titled "The Art of Dying") is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison began writing the song in 1966 while still a member of the Beatles and during a period when he had first become enamoured with Hindu-aligned spirituality and other aspects of Indian culture. The subject matter is reincarnation and the need to avoid rebirth, by limiting actions and thoughts that lead to one's soul returning in another, earthbound life form. Harrison recorded "Art of Dying" in London shortly after the Beatles' break-up in April 1970. The song was co-produced by Phil Spector and features a hard rock arrangement. The backing musicians include Eric Clapton and the rest of the latter's short-lived band Derek and the Dominos, as well as Gary Wright, Billy Preston, Bobby Keys and Jim Price. The song has received praise from several music critics; among these, James Hunter of Rolling Stone described it as a "spookily proto-disco" performance by "a rock orchestra recorded with sensitivity and teeth and faraway mikes". Since Harrison's death in November 2001, the lyrics have received further recognition as a comment on the nature of human existence. The song has been interpreted in the jazz style by American guitarist Joel Harrison and as a grunge piece by the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. (en)
  • «Art of Dying» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison publicada en el álbum de estudio All Things Must Pass. El tema fue compuesto entre 1966 y 1967 cuando Harrison se sumergió por primera vez en el hinduismo y trata sobre la reencarnación, siendo el «arte» una necesidad de evitar el renacimiento limitando las acciones y pensamientos cuyas consecuencias conducen al alma a regresar a otra, en la forma de una vida terrestre. La canción fue producida por Phil Spector y cuenta con un arreglo cercano al hard rock que fue descrito como «proto-disco».​ La grabación contó con el respaldo de Eric Clapton y el resto del grupo Derek and the Dominos, así como Gary Wright, Billy Preston y un joven Phil Collins.

  • I've got about 40 tunes I haven't recorded [with the Beatles], and some of them I think are quite good. I wrote one called "The Art of Dying" three years ago, and at that time I thought it was too far out. But I'm still going to record it. (en)
  • … and then there was the world after the Beatles, when [Harrison] and his music seemed to open up and flower. I will never forget the first time I heard All Things Must Pass ... It was like walking into a cathedral. George was making spiritually awake music – we all heard and felt it ... (en)
