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.

Reaction from other Beatles
The reaction from the other Beatles was less than enthusiastic. They showed little or no interest in this song. They did agree to perform it in an acoustic version, and then in an electric version.
