‘Soft-Hearted Hana’ is the fourth song on George Harrison’s self-titled eighth solo album.

The title refers to Hana, a torn on the Hawaiian island of Maui. It is also a play on the 1924 ragtime tune ‘Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp Of Savannah)’. See more…

‘Soft-Hearted Hana’ was started in Los Angeles after meeting with the staff producers in Warner Bros. Records. Ted Templeman had said he liked ‘Deep Blue’ and so that night I wrote the melody which is now ‘Soft-Hearted Hana’. The chord changes are in the mood of ‘Deep Blue’ although this is more ‘up’. ‘Deep Blue’ was ‘down’.

I tried to write the lyrics for some time, but they wouldn’t come easily. In the end I wrote words which are a bit crazy. They relate to Hana on the Island of Maui, Hawaii, where | had some ‘magic mushrooms’ and the words are about that.

The lyrics were written around February 1978.
