“Handle with Care” has the loose warmth of friends making music together, but beneath its easy rhythm is a song about bruised trust and stubborn hope.
George Harrison carries the verses with quiet weariness, while Roy Orbison’s soaring bridge opens the song into something almost operatic. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne add texture without crowding it, giving the performance the feeling of five distinct voices serving one generous, unshowy whole.
It is a song about being disappointed without becoming closed off—about asking, after everything, to be treated with a little care.
