- "Awaiting on You All" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album, All Things Must Pass. Along with the single "My Sweet Lord", it is among the more overtly religious compositions on All Things Must Pass, and the recording typifies co-producer Phil Spector's influence on the album, due to his liberal use of reverberation and other Wall of Sound production techniques. Harrison recorded the track in London backed by musicians such as Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Klaus Voormann, Jim Gordon and Jim Price – many of whom he had toured with, as Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, in December 1969, while still officially a member of the Beatles. Musically, the composition reflects Harrison's embracing of the gospel music genre, following his production of fellow Apple Records artists Billy Preston and Doris Troy. In his lyrics to "Awaiting on You All", Harrison espouses a direct relationship with God over adherence to the tenets of organised religion. Influenced by both his association with London-based Hare Krishna devotees, known as the Radha Krishna Temple, and the Vedanta-inspired teachings of Swami Vivekananda, Harrison sings of chanting God's name as a means to cleanse and liberate oneself from the impurities of the material world. While acknowledging the validity of all faiths, in essence, his song words explicitly criticise the Pope and the perceived materialism of the Catholic Church – a verse that EMI and Capitol Records continue to omit from the album's lyrics. He also questions the validity of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 campaign for world peace, reflecting a divergence of philosophies between Harrison and his former bandmate after their shared interest in Hindu spirituality in 1967–68. Several commentators have identified "Awaiting on You All" as one of the highlights of All Things Must Pass; author and critic Richard Williams likens it to the Spector-produced "River Deep – Mountain High", by Ike & Tina Turner. The track is featured in the books 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die by Robert Dimery and 1001 Songs by Toby Creswell. A similarly well-regarded live version, with backing from a large band including Clapton, Ringo Starr, Preston and Jim Keltner, was released on the 1971 album The Concert for Bangladesh and appeared in the 1972 film of the same name. Harrison's posthumous compilation Early Takes: Volume 1 (2012) includes a demo version of the song, recorded early in the 1970 sessions for All Things Must Pass. (en)
- «Awaiting on You All» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison publicada en el álbum de estudio All Things Must Pass. Junto con el sencillo «My Sweet Lord», la canción es una de las composiciones más abiertamente religiosas del álbum, y su grabación caracterizó la influencia del productor Phil Spector en el álbum debido al uso de reverberación y otras técnicas del muro de sonido. Harrison grabó la canción en Londres respaldado por músicos como Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Klaus Voormann, Jim Gordon y , muchos de los cuales habían salido de gira como Delaney & Bonnie and Friends en diciembre de 1969. Musicalmente, la composición refleja una cercanía al gospel, después de acercarse al género tras producir trabajos de Billy Preston y Doris Troy. La letra de «Awaiting on You All» propugna una relación directa con Dios por encima de la adhesión a una religión organizada. Influido por su asociación con los devotos de Hare Krishna y por las enseñanzas inspiradas en Swami Vivekananda, Harrison canta sobre corear el nombre de Dios como un medio para limpiar y liberarse de las impurezas del mundo material. Sin dejar de reconocer la validez de todas las religiones en su esencia, la letra criticó explícitamente al Papa y a la percepción materialista de la Iglesia católica en un verso que EMI y Capitol Records omitieron de las notas del álbum. También cuestionó la validez de la campaña por la paz mundial emprendida por John Lennon y Yoko Ono en 1969, lo cual reflejó una divergencia de filosofías entre Harrison y sus antiguos compañeros de grupo después de compartir intereses comunes por la espiritualidad entre 1967 y 1968. Varios comentaristas identificaron «Awaiting on You All» como uno de los mejores momentos de All Things Must Pass. Al respecto, Richard Williams lo comparó con la canción de Ike & Tina Turner «River Deep – Mountain High», también producida por Spector. La canción figura en los libros 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die de Robert Dimery y 1001 Songs de Toby Creswell. El recopilatorio póstumo Early Takes: Volume 1 incluyó una demo de la canción grabada a principio de las sesiones de All Things Must Pass en 1970. (es)
