The ranking, published on May 21, featured devastating '70s hits likeJim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" and "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. George Harrison's 1970 song, "Isn't It a Pity," which deals with the end of a partnership, was named the "most tragic song" released in the 1970s. According to the publication, Harrison shared some insight into the lyrics of the song, off his 1970 record All Things Must Pass, while writing his autobiography, I, Me, Mine.
Harrison played some of the seven-minute song during a 1974 interview on Rock Around the World with Alan Freeman. After he was finished singing, Harrison said the tune was about him "breaking everybody’s heart." When asked to clarify what he meant, the musician, who died in 2001 at the age of 58, replied, "I don’t know."
"The mere fact that you embrace good means you’ve laid yourself wide open to the bad because the bad and the good are just part of one whole, like the day and the night," said Harrison during the interview.
"One thing you see everybody out enjoying themselves having a good time. The next minute something goes wrong, and they’re all uptight and shouting and killing each other," continued Harrison.
