While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a song written by George Harrison of The Beatles. It appeared on the double LP The Beatles (also known as The White Album). The song ranks 135th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and seventh on their list of 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time. Harrison was inspired to write this song when he was reading the I Ching. According to Harrison, this book was based on the Eastern concept that everything is dependent on everything else, in contrast to the Western view that everything is just coincidental. With this relativistic idea, he went to his parents' house in northern England. There he decided to write a song based on the first words he would read as soon as he opened a random book. These words were "gently weeps," and he immediately began writing the song. https://hvdommelen.nl/w/while.html (translated)
