"That Is All" was released on George Harrison's fourth studio album, Living In The Material World, in the spring of 1973. The expectations for this album were through the roof after the success of the monumental All Things Must Pass album. I think it's a perfect successor, though the general consensus at the time was that it didn't continue the greatness begun with the earlier album.
It's inevitable comparison with the earlier album certainly affected it's acclaim. I remember reading about the album being too preachy.....I never felt I was being preached at.......enlightened, yes. I still think it's a very strong George Harrison effort.
I created the album cover effect for this video a long time ago, but couldn't decide which song to video next and played with this song and "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)". I liked the way it looked in this more obscure track so this one was finished first, but I saved some interesting effects for the video for the other song.
As usual HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art contributed to this new art....THANK YOU!!!!!

That is all I want to say
Our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for
To try to love you more -
- and that is all I want to do
To get right next to you
That is all I'm living for,
Your love and nothing more
And that is all
Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been
said before.
That is all I want from you
A smile when I feel blue
That is all I'm waiting for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been
said before.
But that is all I want to do
To give my love to you
That is all I'm living for,
Please let me love you more - and
that is all
