‘So Sad’ is the third song on George Harrison’s fifth solo album Dark Horse.

Harrison’s marriage to Pattie Boyd was coming to an end during the album’s creation, and in 1974 she left him for Eric Clapton. Although Harrison publicly gave the couple his blessing, he was evidently wounded by the split, and wrote ‘So Sad’ during the separation. See more…

I started ‘So Sad’ in New York City in 1972. I like this song a lot as a melody and lyrically, except the only problem with it is it’s depressing. It <em>is</em> so sad. It was at the time I was splitting up with Pattie.
