I CAN ALWAYS FEEL YOU BY MY SIDE

Never Without You é uma canção-homenagem de Ringo para George, que morreu em 29 de novembro de 2001. A gravação está no álbum de 2003 de Ringo, o Ringo Rama, e também foi lançada como single.

Ela foi co-escrita por Ringo, Mark Hudson e Gary Nicholson. Ringo comentou: " -Gary Nicholson começou a música e Mark trouxe-a até mim. Nós então percebemos que podíamos adaptá-la à George, que naquele momento estava realmente em minha mente.".

A gravação conta com o companheiro e amigo de George, Eric Clapton. Ringo diz: " -Eu liguei para Eric Clapton, ele topou, e foi ótimo tê-lo. Foi muito bom porque ambos se adoravam.".

Na canção Ringo cita o álbum All Things Must Pass e as canções Here Comes The Sun, Within You Without You e I Dig Love, além de usar o riff da canção What Is Life, todos de George.

E o blog separou para hoje uma versão ao vivo da linda e comovente canção que Ringo fez para o inseparável amigo, gravada no Genessee Theatre em Waukegan, Illinois, EUA, no dia 24 de junho de 2005, como parte da PBS Concert Series "Soundstage". Ok, Ringo!

Never Without You (live)

Never Without You

Ringo Starr

Composição : Starr/Hudson/Nicholson

We were young

It was fun

And we couldn't lose

Times were right

Overnight

We were headline news

Crazy days and reckless nights

Limousines and bright spotlights

We were brothers through it all.

And your song

Will play on

Without you

And this world

Won't forget

About you

Every part of you was in your song

Now we will carry on

Never without you

Within you without you

'Here Comes The Sun' is about you.

Here today

Not alone

With my memories

Life is strange

How things change

It's reality

You played a beautiful melody

That keeps on haunting me

I can always feel you by my side.

And your song

Will play on

Without you

And this world

Won't forget

About you

Every part of you was in your song

Now we will carry on

Never without you

Within you without you

'Here Comes The Sun' is about you.

I know all things must pass

And only love will last

I'll always love the memory

Of you and me

(Take it away, Eric)

And your song

Will play on

Without you

And this world

Won't forget

About you

Every part of you was in your song

Now we will carry on

Never without you

Within you without you

We're never without you

Within you without you

We're never without you

We're never without you

Within you without you

'I Dig Love' is about you.
