Sobre el álbum
"Gone Troppo", lanzado en 1982, es el álbum con el que George Harrison decidió retirarse temporalmente de la música, y su título ("volverse loco" en argot australiano) es una buena pista de su contenido desenfadado y su espíritu lúdico. Este disco, que cierra un capítulo en la discografía de George Harrison, es una obra deliberadamente anticomercial y relajada, el sonido de un artista que ya no se preocupa por las listas de éxitos.
Por esta razón, el álbum está lleno de humor y experimentación. El sonido está dominado por los sintetizadores y las cajas de ritmos de principios de los 80, pero utilizados de una manera peculiar y a menudo irónica. Temas como el que da título al disco, "Gone Troppo", o "Baby Don't Run Away" son ejemplos de pop electrónico ligero y sin pretensiones.
Harrison apenas promocionó el álbum, confirmando su deseo de alejarse del negocio musical. A pesar de su carácter relajado, el disco contiene joyas como la hermosa "Unknown Delight" o la mística "Mystical One", que demuestran que su talento para la melodía seguía intacto.
"Gone Troppo" es el álbum de vacaciones de George Harrison. Es un trabajo menor en su discografía, pero tiene un encanto particular por su honestidad y su falta de ambición comercial. Es el sonido de un hombre que cuelga el cartel de "cerrado por un tiempo" para dedicarse a sus jardines y a su vida personal, y por eso, es una pieza entrañable de su catálogo.

They say I'm not what I used to be All the same I'm happier than a willow tree Shine or rain sitting here by a stream (mmm) theres nothing Id rather feel In this world You and your sweet serenity Rocking me Melting my heart away I know something so dear to me Beyond words Beautiful feeling in my soul Sounds I've heard Like humming birds in a dream (mmm) that mystical one I knew Is returned Lulling me with those raincloud eyes Taking me Melting my heart away I am yes I am I know what I feel You came in my life Made me more real I know whatever we may have been In past times Has sorted the truth out from the rest Win or lose I always knew youd be there (mmm) you answer my deepest prayer In a song Shimmering slowhand flowing clear Moving me Melting my heart away I am yes I am I know what I feel You came in my life Made me more real (mmm) that mystical one I knew Is returned Lulling me with those raincloud eyes Taking me Melting my heart away - Unknown Delight4:14

Darkest deep brown eyes I've seen Angel came into my dream Like the mornings early light You freshen all around And with all the love you bring unknown delight Sweetest innocence and free God has given you the key To the hearts of everyone That comes in sight of you And with all the love you bring unknown delight Who have eyes will clearly see And no one could disagree A treasure of the world A child, watching it grow And with all the love will bring unknown delight Repeat - Baby Don't Run Away3:57

Letra
Oh ry in eye ay - oh ry in eye ay Oh ry in eye key ooh lay Ka kay ooh lau ee - oh ry in eye Say te lee ay vee show Midnight sunshine silent thunder Sky as black as day Only a dream away Chorus Waking while you're still deep sleeping Finding you're not here Watching a dream appear Tumbling through a thousand centuries You don't know where you'll land Its so dark in mythology Treasures of history to be found Near the legends of time All the handiworks remain there Only a dream away Chorus Greedy feeling wheeling dealing Losing what you won See the dream come undone Stumble you may with the elementary Lucky you got so far All you owe is apologies Measure the mystery and astound Without taking up time So the handiworks remain there Only a dream away Chorus In out, hot cold, up down, young old What a lot to do Sharing a dream with you Chorus - Circles3:45
Letra
Friends come and friends go As I go round and round in circles Love someone change your mind Decide he was a swine As you go round and round in circles He who knows does not speak He who speaks does not know And I go round in circles Dislike someone and will not bend Later they may become your best friend As life it goes around in circles He who knows does not speak He who speaks does not know And I go round in circles Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date With life and death along the road the soul reincarnates The show goes round and round in circles When loss and gain and up and down Becomes the same, then we stop going in circles Round and round in circles - Mystical One (Demo)
