    I have all of George's albums, but heard this for the first time today (9-2024) on
    Sirius. Really nice.

    Beautiful Song from a Beautiful Man with a beautiful soul! George sang from the heart, he made music to the tune of peace and love. It flowed from within him to our ears and then to our hearts like a peaceful river stream. Peace and Love to all! 💗

    The suits at Warner Bros. dropped "Lay His Head" and 3 other songs is a perfect example the suits don't have a clue what is good music. No wonder George became disenchanted with the music industry.

    I know that I seem strange to you sometimes
    And who is it in here, you have often thought
    But what can I tell you
    That you don't know already?
    Yes, even the times like this
    Will roll away
    But I love you (I love you)
    I love you (I love you)
    That's all that I ever really wanted
    I know that it will work out all the same
    And whoever it is in here can overcome the pain
    A true friend's shoulder to lean on
    I'll make it through
    And over and over
    I feel for you
    But I love you (I love you)
    I love you (I love you)
    That's all that I ever really wanted
    Oh yeah, you know that sometimes a man
    He has nowhere to lay his head
    But what can I tell you
    That you don't know already?
    Yes, even the worst time like this
    Will blow away
    But I love you (I love you)
    I love you (I love you)
    That's all that I ever really wanted
    Oh yeah, you know that sometimes a man
    He has nowhere to lay his head, nowhere, I said nowhere
    Nowhere to lay his head
    Oh what can I tell you
    That you don't know already

    Oh, yeah. They dropped it because it might've lifted the level of the LP. :)
    Seriously it's a good song, and the lyrics are...oh so good! Anybody could dedicate them to a woman/man. To reassure her/him about our true feelings even though there may be times when we are weird, or act badly. I think here George is asking Olivia to forgive him, possiibly about an occasional cheating. "But you know that sometimes a man/He has nowhere to lay his head".
    Few people could write lyrics so personal/universal, sincere and timeless as George. We owe him that much!

      +The5quirel this was originally intended for the 'Somewhere in England' album in 1980/81 but was one of four tracks Warner Brothers (Dark Horse records parent company) asked to be removed as they felt they were not commercial enough (my self and others feel that the four tracks are the best! - they include Flying Hour, Sat Singing and Tears of the world)

      I don't think so, or we would have seen it by now. This and Sat Singing were meant to be released, but the studio told George they weren't what people were buying and that he had to change the album. I don't think George had much other completed stuff that he thought was really good. It's been over 20 years. I think Dhani and Olivia would have put it out if it was there.

    I've idolized George for 50 years which is as long as I've been playing. Sorry guys, it's a good song , but it's a filler. It has appeal to us simply, because we are atune to George. This song isn't commercial enough to be a single. Take a song like Life Itself. Most if my musician friends can't believe the guitars communicating with each other and the magnificent and gorgeous lyrics. Some of us think that's the best song that he composed. It simply wasn't ever going to be a comerial success
