While My Guitar Gently Weeps

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a song by The Beatles, written by George Harrison for The White Album (1968). It is considered one of Harrison's best works in The Beatles, featuring emotional lyrics and a strong melody.

Interestingly, the song also features contributions from Eric Clapton, who plays the iconic guitar solo on the official recording. Although Clapton was not a member of The Beatles, he was invited by Harrison to play lead guitar as a special touch.

The song has a deep meaning about the indifference of the world and Harrison's spiritual reflections inspired by Hindu philosophy and the concept of karma. In fact, it is said that Harrison wrote it after randomly opening a book of the I Ching and coming across a phrase about "everything happens for a reason."
