Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison – While My Guitar Gently Weeps

ByEditor

Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison – While My Guitar Gently Weeps – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, 2004.

Explain to me how Prince never appears on a top guitarist of all time list? Massively underrated artist!

He suddenly appears, does something divine, and leaves without a word! This is Prince!

“One of the most iconic moments in the history of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies has been re-edited by the original director, Joel Gallen. Prince’s 2004 performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison features never before seen camera angles and a remastered edit that brings new life to one of rock’s greatest moments!”

Lyrics:
I look at you all
See the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor
And I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don’t know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world
And I notice, it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake
We must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look from the wings
At the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps

‘Cause I’m sitting here
Doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps

Dub the mic on the piano and quite low this
Just keep it in my maracas, you know
You know, those old pianos

Okay, we’re on
Mouth
