[edit] Creation

Harrison has said that the inspiration for this song came from reading I Ching, and this inspired him to do a song about how everything is relative. The way he chose the name was by opening a random book, and seeing that the first words were "Gently Weeps," so he decided to give that to the song.^{[citation needed]}
