The recording is on Starr's 2003 album Ringo Rama, and was also released as a single. This song was co-written by Starr, Mark Hudson and Gary Nicholson. Starr commented: "Gary Nicholson started that song, and Mark brought it over and we realized we could tailor it. George was really on my mind then." The recording features Harrison's fellow friend, Eric Clapton. "I called Eric Clapton up and it was great to have him," Starr said. "Eric's on two tracks on the album [Ringo Rama], but I really wanted him on this song because George loved Eric and Eric loved George." The heartfelt lyrics of "Never Without You" are sometimes misquoted, especially the following lines, which refer to the titles of two of Harrison's songs from The Beatles' Abbey Road and Harrison's All Things Must Pass albums respectively: * "Here Comes the Sun" is about you * "I Dig Love" is about you Ringo uses the riff-driven melody from George's song "What Is Life" in the middle of this song, right before he makes reference to "All Things Must Pass". The lyrics also mention Harrison's "Within You Without You" (from The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album) and "All Things Must Pass" from the album of the same name by Harrison. We were young, it was fun And we couldn't lose Time were right, overnight We were headline news Crazy days and reckless nights Limousines and bright spotlights We were brothers through it all And your song will play on without you And this world won't forget about you Every part of you was in your song Now we will carry on... Never Without you (Without you Without You) Within you without you Here comes the song it's about you Here today, not alone With my memories Life is strange how things change It's reality You played a beautiful melody That keeps on haunting me I can always feel you by my side And your song will play on without you And this world won't forget about you Every part of you was in your song Now we will carry on... Never Without you (Never Without You) Within you without you (Within you without you) Here comes the song it's about you I know all things must pass And only love will last I'll always love the memory of you and me Take it away Eric And your song will play on without you And this world won't forget about you Every part of you was in your song Now we will carry on...Never Without you (Never Without You)Within you without you (Within you without you) I think that love is about you [b]Happy Belated Birthday, Georgie.
