Music & Lyrics : George Harrison
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right
It's all right
"Here Comes the Sun" is a song written by George Harrison of The Beatles. The song was inspired by a very long winter night that Harrison spent with his friend Eric Clapton. The lyrics are a celebration of the return of warmer weather and the end of the long, cold winter. As the song opens with "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right", the singer is acknowledging the arrival of a new day, a new beginning.
The song conveys a sense of hope and happiness. Harrison uses simple, uplifting phrases like "Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces, little darling, it seems like years since it's been here", to convey the renewed sense of optimism and joy associated with the warmer weather. The song is also about the natural cycle of life, the cycles of the seasons, the cycles of happiness and sadness, and how after a long winter, spring always comes back bringing hope and new beginnings.
"Here Comes the Sun" was released in 1969 as part of The Beatles' album "Abbey Road." The song has since become a cultural phenomenon with its ultimate message of hope and positivity. The song has been covered by many artists, including Nina Simone, Richie Havens, and Steve Harley.

This performance was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes with how refreshing it was. Such pure energy was enough to melt my heart, which had felt cold and callous for years. Thank you.

This man was underrated in my opinion because even though he mostly performed covers, he almost always made versions that were as good or better, and ALWAYS different from the the original. Look at his ease of singing and the effectiveness of his approach in creating a totally energetic and exciting performance. That's a mark of genius. There's a selflessness in his commitment to the song. He's not there to promote Richie Havens but to promote the awesomeness of music. Thank you RH!!
