Expected, but no less sad. He was a big reason the Beatles added up to more than the sum of Lennon & McCartney. Nothing summons up the sixties like the strains of an electric sitar, which he introduced to western pop music. His angry, yet hopeful voice in songs like Think for Yourself and Love You To remains emblematic of the era. He was never less than sincere and honest, to the point where I believe that he didn't consciously steal the tune for My Sweet Lord. When the fad for eastern mysticism faded, he was the one who stuck with it, and I guess it stood him in good stead. His death led the morning news, of course, then back to the war. He was the sort who might have wondered how one man's death could matter so much, while scores of others' are swept aside. It's all too much.

When I Look Into Your Eyes
Your Love Is There For Me
And The More I Go Inside
The More There Is To See

It's All Too Much For Me To Take
The Love That's Shining All Around You
Everywhere It's What You Make
For Us To Take It's All Too Much

Floating Down The Stream Of Time
From Life To Life With Me
Makes No Difference Where You Are
Or Where You'd Like To Be

It's All Too Much For Me To Take
The Love That's Shining All Around Here
All The World Is Birthday Cake
So Take A Piece But Not Too Much

Sail Me On A Silver Sun
Where I Know That I'm Free
Show Me That I'm Everywhere
And Get Me Home For Tea

It's All Too Much For Me To See
The Love That's Shining All Around Here
The More I Learn The Less I Know
And What I Do Is All Too Much

It's All Too Much For Me To Take
The Love That's Shining All Around You
Everywhere It's What You Make
For Us To Take It's All Too Much

It's Too Much, It's Too Much

With Your Long Long Hair And Your Eyes Of Blue
With Your Long Long Hair And Your Eyes Of Blue
You Are Too Much Ah! We Are Dead Ah...

Too Much, Too Much, Too Much-a...
