«The Day the World Gets 'Round» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison, publicada en su álbum de estudio Living in the Material World (1973). El músico se inspiró para componer la canción tras organizar el concierto benéfico The Concert for Bangladesh el 1 de agosto de 1971, con el fin de recaudar fondos favor de las víctimas de la Guerra de Liberación de Bangladés. La letra refleja su decepción porque fuera necesario un proyecto de ayuda humanitaria dada la abudnancia de recursos naturales en todo el planeta, así como su creencia de que si todas las personas fuesen más conscientes espiritualmente, no habría sufrimiento en el mundo. Sumada a las frustraciones personales de Harrison durante la composición de la canción, el concierto benéfico se vio sumido en problemas financier

"The Day the World Gets 'Round" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. Harrison was inspired to write the song following the successful Concert for Bangladesh shows, which were held in New York on 1 August 1971 as a benefit for refugees from the country formerly known as East Pakistan. The lyrics reflect his disappointment that such a humanitarian aid project was necessary, given the abundance of resources available across the planet, and his belief that if all individuals were more spiritually aware, there would be no suffering in the world. Adding to Harrison's frustration while writing the song, the aid project became embroiled in financial problems, as commercial concerns delayed the release of the Concert for Bangladesh

Let's face it, the whole problem and how to solve it lies within the power of the governments and world leaders. They have resources, food, money and wealth enough for twice our world's population, yet they choose to squander it on weapons and other objects that destroy mankind. It seems to me to be a poor state of affairs when "pop stars" are required to set an example ...

It's a beautiful plea for peace and understanding ... The song speaks of the split nature of this world: comparing the love and joy of sharing what we all have on this earth, with the "foolishness in man" and his quest for more, thus causing war and loss in the process.

As soon as we can all have Planet Earth passports I'll be grateful, because I'm tired of being British or being white, or being a Christian or a Hindu. I don't have a philosophy, I just believe in the sap that runs throughout.

El músico se inspiró para componer la canción tras organizar el concierto benéfico The Concert for Bangladesh el 1 de agosto de 1971, con el fin de recaudar fondos favor de las víctimas de la Guerra de Liberación de Bangladés. La letra refleja su decepción porque fuera necesario un proyecto de ayuda humanitaria dada la abudnancia de recursos naturales en todo el planeta, así como su creencia de que si todas las personas fuesen más conscientes espiritualmente, no habría sufrimiento en el mundo. Sumada a las frustraciones personales de Harrison durante la composición de la canción, el concierto benéfico se vio sumido en problemas financieros y comerciales con departamentos fiscales del Gobierno estadounidense. Harrison grabó «The Day the World Gets 'Round» entre octubre de 1972 y marzo de 1973. La grabación contó con una orquestación dirigida por John Barham y la contribución musical de Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, Ringo Starr y Jim Keltner. Varios críticos musicales describieron el tema como una canción protesta y una oración devocional. Al igual que el resto de las canciones de Living in the Material World, Harrison donó los derechos de publicación de la canción a la asociación caritativa The Material World Charitable Foundation, una organización que creó para evitar los problemas fiscales que obstaculizaron su labor humanitaria con Bangladés. En 2009, Voormann y Yusuf Islam versionaron «The Day the World Gets 'Round» y la publicaron como sencillo benéfico para ayudar a niños de Gaza desplazados por la guerra.

"The Day the World Gets 'Round" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. Harrison was inspired to write the song following the successful Concert for Bangladesh shows, which were held in New York on 1 August 1971 as a benefit for refugees from the country formerly known as East Pakistan. The lyrics reflect his disappointment that such a humanitarian aid project was necessary, given the abundance of resources available across the planet, and his belief that if all individuals were more spiritually aware, there would be no suffering in the world. Adding to Harrison's frustration while writing the song, the aid project became embroiled in financial problems, as commercial concerns delayed the release of the Concert for Bangladesh album, and government tax departments failed to embrace the goodwill inherent in the venture. Harrison recorded "The Day the World Gets 'Round" in England between October 1972 and March 1973. The recording features an orchestral arrangement by John Barham and a similarly well-regarded vocal performance from Harrison. The other contributing musicians were Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner. Reviewers have described the composition variously as a protest song, a devotional prayer, and a counterpart to John Lennon's peace anthem "Imagine". As with all the new songs released on Living in the Material World, Harrison donated his publishing royalties from the track to the Material World Charitable Foundation, an organisation he set up to avoid the tax problems that had befallen his Bangladesh relief effort. The song typifies Harrison's ideal for a world unencumbered by national, religious or cultural delineation. In 2009, Voormann and Yusuf Islam covered "The Day the World Gets 'Round" and released it as a single to benefit children in war-torn Gaza.
