- "Grey Cloudy Lies" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1975 album Extra Texture (Read All About It). Harrison wrote it in 1973 during a period that he characterised as his "naughty" years, coinciding with the failure of his marriage to Pattie Boyd and his divergence from the ascetic path of his Hindu-aligned faith. He returned to the song two years later when filled with despondency and self-doubt in response to the scathing reviews that his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar and Dark Horse album had received from several music critics. Harrison recorded "Grey Cloudy Lies" in Los Angeles at a time when his disenchantment was increased through excessive use of cocaine. The track typifies the sombre, keyboard-oriented sound of Extra Texture, in comparison with the multitracked guitars typical of Harrison's previous work as a solo artist. Aside from musical contributions by David Foster, Jesse Ed Davis and Jim Keltner, the recording features Harrison playing various parts on ARP and Moog synthesizers. The song has received unfavourable comments from several reviewers, and particularly from some of Harrison's spiritual biographers. One of these, Dale Allison, describes the track as a "relentlessly despondent offering", while author Ian Inglis views it as a song of "great charm, energy, and beauty". (en)
- «Grey Cloudy Lies» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison, publicada en el álbum de estudio Extra Texture (Read All About It). Harrison escribió la canción durante un periodo de depresión, como consecuencia de la mala crítica que recibió su gira norteamericana con Ravi Shankar, y por los ataques que varios críticos musicales realizaron al álbum Dark Horse. Algunos autores interpretaron la letra como una señal del estado mental de Harrison en 1975, con un aparente crisis de fe tras el mal recibimiento de sus mensajes espiruituales durante la gira. Además del tono sombrío de la canción, Harrison grabó «Grey Cloudy Lies» en Los Ángeles en un momento en el que su desilusión se incrementó por el consumo de cocaína. La grabación refleja la predominancia de teclados en el sonido de Extra Texture, en contraposición al extenso uso de guitarras en sus primeros trabajos en solitario. Tras su publicación, «Grey Cloudy Lies» obtuvo reseñas desfavorables de la mayoría de la prensa musical, que la calificó como una «ofrenda inexorablemente desanimada». (es)
