 Although he was actively involved as a director of Apple Records, and remained committed to running the label until its winding down in 1973, Harrison viewed the concept of Apple as Lennon and McCartney's egos "running away with themselves or with each other". Harrison's relief from the tedium of business meetings through February and March 1969 was reflected in his composition "Here Comes the Sun", which he wrote in Eric Clapton's garden while "sag [ging] off" from Apple. Around the same time, Harrison wrote "Run of the Mill", a song addressing the failure of friendships within the band – or as he put it, "the problem of partnerships".
