• Now You're Gone

zI, I was crazy about you
I, didn't want to be without you
And I, lost what I had and now your gone

You, you always meant the world to me
You, you never wanted much you see
And you, you changed my life but now you gone

In my heart you were the one
But now, now your gone

Your photograph brings back sweet memories
Something about you I don't know what it is
Your face so young the days so long
But now, your gone

In my heart you were the one
But now, your gone

Yeah now, now your gone
But now, your gone

about:

"Well, um, the inspiration was really, sort of... [cough] ... it was sort of... Me mother died, and then Roy Orbison died, and Del Shannon died... Y'know, but it was Roy Orbison that actually [unintelligible] and died just then. But it was a real emotional kind of song, Now You're Gone. It's also like a song about love, which it is. And it's also a song about loss, y'know. And, the reason I used Indian, uh, people, who are brilliant. They're all classical Indian musicians and they're fantastic. Just to watch 'em perform is brilliant. Uh, Because I went to a concert in England, an opera by Ravi Shankar and I heard these singers and... On the one part of the song, I thought 'This is... I gotta have a solo here, like a piano or a guitar.' And I thought, 'No, I want something really special.' And I heard these singers and I said 'That's it. That's what I want.' And they came and they sang on it. They just sang a raga across the ending, which to me was really beautiful. Gave me, um, a big thrill."
Jeff Lynne (June 23, 1990 - Rockline)
"...Jeff played... auto-harp on Now You're Gone... [...] The percussion section and the two singers from Ravi Shankar's band were featured on Now You're Gone, Every Little Thing, and Lift Me Up and gave those tracks a bit of an Indian feel. Jeff about Now You're Gone: 'The reason why I used the Indian people... who are brilliant, they are all classical Indian musicians... is because I went to a concert in England, an opera by Ravi Shankar and I heard these singers and on the one part of the song (Now You're Gone) I thought I've got to do a solo here, like a guitar or a piano and I thought, 'No, I want something really special.' I heard these singers and I said: 'That's it, that's what I want.' And they came and sang a raga on it. The insperation [sic] was really sort of... it was really sort of... my mother died, Roy Orbison died, and Del Shannon died. It was a real emotional kind of song.'"
