A Beatle's Haunting Song Sets the Mood at Start of New Horror Movie ‘Weapons'
A Beatle's Haunting Song Sets the Mood at Start of New Horror Movie 'Weapons' originally appeared on Parade. Much like how the new Superman movie closes with a hidden gem from Iggy Pop, the new No. 1 movie in the U.S.—Zach Cregger's mystery horror, Weapons—drops the needle on a deep cut from the past. But fans of The Beatles' solo work probably recognized it right away. Weaponsstars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner and Alden Ehrenreich. Its premise is summed up in its tagline: "Last night at 2:17 a.m. every child from Mrs. Gandy's class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, walked into the dark ... And they never came back." And what is the song that plays when those children go missing? George Harrison's "Beware of Darkness." "Beware of Darkness" comes from Harrison's 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass, opening Side Three (aka the first track on the second LP). "Watch out now / Take care, beware of the thoughts that linger / Winding up inside your head," he sings on the second verse. "The hopelessness around you / In the dead of night / Beware of sadness." Harrison wrote about the origin of the song in his memoir, I, Me, Mine. "'Beware of Darkness' was written at home in England during a period when I had some of my friends from the Radha Krishna temple staying," he wrote. Harrison indicated that his guests had a saying: "Watch out for Māya." Per Britannica'ssummation, Māya is a "fundamental concept in Hindu philosophy," one that means that "a god can make human beings believe in what turns out to be an illusion." It later came to represent the "powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real," or the illusion that distracts a person from their true purpose. Harrison refers to Māya in the third verse: "As each unconscious sufferer / Wanders aimlessly / Beware of Māya." Harrison famously performed 'Beware of Darkness' at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971, both during the afternoon and evening performances; the latter of which was included on the Concert for Bangladesh live album and the corresponding concert film. While many know "My Sweet Lord" as the big single from All Things Must Pass, Rolling Stoneonce considered "Beware of Darkness" the album's best song. "Musically enigmatic and strangely incomplete, it is both a warning and an affirmation," wrote author Ben Garson in 2011.A Beatle's Haunting Song Sets the Mood at Start of New Horror Movie 'Weapons' first appeared on Parade on Aug 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Bobby Whitlock, Derek and the Dominos Founder of ‘Layla' Fame and ‘Exile on Main St.' Session Player,' Dies at 77
His soulful keyboards and backing vocals are heard on records from George Harrison, Dr. John and the Rolling Stones Bobby Whitlock, founding member of Derek and the Dominos whose soulful keyboard and vocals shaped the band's only album, 'Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,' and whose session work is heard on records by George Harrison, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones, has died. He was 77. Following a brief illness, Whitlock died early Sunday morning in his Texas home surrounded by family and friends, his manager confirmed to multiple media outlets. More from TheWrap Bobby Whitlock, Derek and the Dominos Founder of 'Layla' Fame and 'Exile on Main St.' Session Player,' Dies at 77 Jim Lovell, Astronaut Commander of Apollo 13, Dies at 97 Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock Dies at 48 as Singer Postpones Vegas Residency Jon Miyahara, 'Superstore' Actor, Dies at 83 Whitlock grew up immersed in the Southern soul scene, becoming the first white artist signed to Stax Records. He recorded as a teen with acts including Sam & Dave and Booker T. & the M.G.'s, later joining Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, a loose collective of touring musicians that included Clapton, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon. In 1970 the foursome formed Derek and the Dominos in 1970, releasing their only studio album that year. Though met with modest sales, the record — featuring the title track 'Layla' — would go on to be regarded as one of rock's landmark works. The group disbanded in 1971 amid personal struggles and the death of guitarist Duane Allman. Whitlock's session work included contributions to George Harrison's 'All Things Must Pass,' Dr. John's 'The Sun, Moon & Herbs,' Doris Troy's self-titled album and uncredited – but key – passages on the Rolling Stones' seminal 'Exile on Main St.' He also released four solo albums in the 1970s before stepping away from the industry. Whitlock was also a prolific songwriter — he co-wrote half of Layla's original tracks, including 'Bell Bottom Blues' and 'Tell the Truth' — and his compositions have been recorded by artists from Sheryl Crow to Derek Trucks. In the 1990s, Whitlock returned to recording and frequently collaborated with his wife, CoCo Carmel. He reunited with Clapton in 2000 for a televised performance of 'Bell Bottom Blues.'

Bobby Whitlock death: Derek and the Dominos co-founder dies aged 77
Bobby Whitlock, the singer and keyboardist who formed Derek and the Dominos with Eric Clapton, has died. He was 77. The Memphis-born musician also played on George Harrison's 1970 album All Things Must Pass, among many other classic recordings. His death was confirmed by his manager Carol Kaye, who told CBS News he died of cancer in the early hours of Sunday morning, surrounded by his family in Texas. In a statement, Whitlock's wife, Coco Carmel Whitlock, said: 'How do you express in but a few words the grandness of one man who came from abject poverty in the South to heights unimagined in such a short time? 'As he would always say: 'Life is what you make it, so take it and make it beautiful.' And he did. Farewell my Love, I'll see you in my dreams.' Whitlock, whose given names were Robert Stanley, was born on March 18, 1948. As a teenager, he met and befriended the musicians recording at Stax Studios in Memphis, and learned to play the organ from soul acts like Booker T. & the M.G.'s and Sam & Dave. His first credited recordings came when he sang and played keyboards on a pair of Delaney & Bonnie albums in 1969, Home and Accept No Substitute. While touring with Delaney & Bonnie, Whitlock was introduced to the guitarist Eric Clapton. The Delaney & Bonnie and Friends band backed Clapton on his self-titled debut solo album in 1970, and the same year, Whitlock and Clapton formed a new band with bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon: Derek and the Dominos. The blues-rock group released just one album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, in November 1970. It featured several songs co-written by Whitlock, notably 'Bell Bottom Blues'. He shared the vocals with Clapton on much of the record, and took the lead on 'Keep on Growing' and 'Thorn Tree in the Garden'. The four also played together on former Beatle George Harrison's triple album All Things Must Pass, and on Dr John's The Sun, Moon & Herbs (1971). In 1972, Whitlock released his self-titled solo album, which featured appearances from Harrison and all the members of Derek and the Dominos. He put out a second solo record, Raw Velvet, just a few months later, followed by One of a Kind (1975) and Rock Your Sox Off (1976). In the 1980s, Whitlock moved to a farm in Mississippi and did occasional session work while raising his children. He didn't resume his solo career until 1999's It's About Time. The following year, he reunited with Clapton to play 'Bell Bottom Blues' on Later... with Jools Holland. In 2010 he published a memoir, Bobby Whitlock: A Rock 'n' Roll Autobiography. Whitlock is survived by his wife, his three children Ashley Brown, Beau Whitlock and Tim Whitlock Kelly, and his sister Debbie Wade.
