George Harrison track listing

"Love Comes to Everyone" is a song by English musician George Harrison that was released as the opening track of his 1979 album George Harrison. It was also issued as the second single off the album. The recording contains musical contributions from Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton.

The song was included on Harrison's Dark Horse Records compilation Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989. Clapton covered the track on his 2005 album Back Home as a tribute to Harrison, four years after his death.

George Harrison began writing "Love Comes to Everyone" in September 1977 and finished it in Hawaii in February 1978. Its writing and recording coincided with a period of domestic contentment for Harrison, who married his second wife, Olivia Arias, and saw the birth of his only child, son Dhani, during the sessions of his self-titled album. In his autobiography, I, Me, Mine, he describes the message of the song as "very optimistic". He also says the melody came about through using a Roland chorus effect on his guitar.

Harrison recorded "Love Comes to Everyone" at his home studio, FPSHOT, between March and October 1978. As with all of the George Harrison album, he co-produced the track with Russ Titelman. The song incorporates a danceable tom-tom beat.Eric Clapton plays lead guitar during the intro to the track. The other musicians on the recording are Steve Winwood, Neil Larsen, Willie Weeks, Andy Newmark and Ray Cooper.
