Great Beatles song. It was written by George Harrison and came from their classic Abbey Album. Such a feel-good song. That entire album is a masterpiece.
"Here Comes The Sun" is on the Beatles 1969 album "Abbey Road". It was written by George Harrison. Such a happy optimistic feeling song. George also wrote the song "Something" on the same Abbey Road album.
George was really becoming quite the songwriter at this point in his career. Not difficult to see why The Beatles were starting to fall apart as a group, they were all far too talented for things to stay the way they were at this point.
Ironically, this is the FIRST song I ever played my infant son when I brought him home from the hospital. He was about 3 days old and I wanted him to love music, but I also wanted to play him something soft that wouldn't hurt his little ears, so I chose this song. He's loved it all his life--and he HATES when I tell this story (which he's heard 1000 times).
A lot of hospitals, starting with a New York hospital I think, adopted this as a song they played over their PAs whenever a COVID patient was discharged during the height of the pandemic. If you heard it playing in hospital corridors during those dark days, it was an announcement that someone had survived the dreaded virus and was going home to their families and friends.
I think its great that you love 1960's music in all its variety. I'm a 73 year old British man so the 1960's was my teenage years. In the early middle 60's I was dancing every night, we wore three piece suits, always with a tie and highly polished Cuban heel boots. We treated our ladies a lot better than today's males. Opening doors, walking in the street always on the side nearest traffic, following our ladies upstairs but, preceding them down the stairs, giving our seats up to a lady. It was our pleasure to please our ladies. Little things like that. Having now reminisced I have a singer for you to react to, Billy Fury, he had several big hits in the late 50's and early and middle 60's, songs such as "I'd Never Find Another You." "Last Night Was Made For Love." "Halfway To Paradise." "Somebody Else's Girl."
I graduated high school in 1970. In my senior year we went on the "Walk For Mankind", a 40 mile walk around the Twin Cities and we got sponsors to pay us by the mile we walked. We started in a football stadium and it was raining. Just before the start of the walk, the sun came out and everyone started singing "Here Comes The Sun". It was AWESOME!!!!! One of the most poignant moments in my life. And, yes, I did the entire 40 mile walk.
One very interesting thing about this song, especially as you were talking about all the little additions, is that it was one of the first songs to use a Moog synthesizer. It's very difficult to hear it, but a dear friend of mine purchased a Japanese import of Abbey Road and the mix makes it far more obvious. It plays near the end at the "Sun, sun, sun, here we come" part. Once you hear it, you cannot unhear it, but it's beautifully done and adds a lot that is almost subliminal. George was a brilliant composer. He just had the "misfortune" of being friends and bandmates with two of the most prolific and creative composers of our lifetime during their most creative period. Apparently, that's why his debut solo album was a double album.
I've always enjoyed this beautiful uplifting song! And The Beatles were truly an iconic band and their music has stood the test of time. Enjoyed your reaction and comments, particularly your memories of skating to this song. What a wonderful memory❤
My first year in military school, my roommate set the alarm clock for five thirty (half an hour before reveille) so I could get my uniform right. At 5:30 I would hear a click, then the radio "This is KBIM radio. Thank you for starting another day with us." Then, this song would play. In the predawn darkness, for at least half an hour, I knew peace. At six o'clock, different world.
I also love Ringo's drumming in this song as other bands that covered it could not do the great riffs Ringo did. Ringo attributed his style unique because he was left handed.
Hi Ladies, this is the perfect song for all us UK sun seekers, 😄 I feel this should be our National Anthem. A real feel good song for a Saturday evening, thanks for your reaction. Hope you are both well. 🥰
Not only one of their absolute best songs but their best production as well. They worked with the best of the best, the synth is barely audible but adds so much to the airy soundscape.
Once they got into their psychedelic period I was less interested in Beatles music. But Abbey Road I really did like and especially "Here Comes the Sun". I remember buying this album on vinyl and later on 8 track tape.
This and "Something" are two of Harrison's finest compositions while he was a Beatle!!!!! Harrison wrote "Here Comes the Sun" at the house of his friend Eric Clapton, in response to the dark mood surrounding the Beatles. Harrison states in his autobiography, I, Me, Mine: "Here Comes the Sun" was written at the time when Apple was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen: 'Sign this' and 'sign that.' Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever, by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton's house. The relief of not having to go see all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around the garden with one of Eric's acoustic guitars and wrote "Here Comes the Sun". Clapton's house at the time was Hurtwood Edge, in Ewhurst, Surrey, and he later said the month was possibly April. Data from two meteorological stations in the London area show that April 1969 set a record for sunlight hours for the 1960s. The Greenwich station recorded 189 hours for April, a high that was not beaten until 1984. The Greenwich data also show that February and March were much colder than the norm for the 1960s, which would account for Harrison's reference to a "long, cold, lonely winter". You two NEED to check out Harrison's Epic 3 LP set 'All Things Must Pass'!!!!!! "What Is Life", "Isn't It A Pity", "My Sweet Lord", "Awaiting On You All", and the title track are just a few of the 'tidal wave' of songs that Harrison recorded for this masterpiece album after The Beatles!!!!! For me it was (and still is) the BEST album that came out after the break-up of The Beatles!!!!!👍✌
It was clear from the Get Back documentary that George was often sidelined by Paul and John. I think of this as George’s statement that he became as good as the two giants at the end of the Abbey Road. RIP to the spiritual Beatle.
this is my most favorite song i love it so much. when i started learning about the beatles i was 18 i thought it was absolutely the best beatle song, that was just an opinion but now i'm 23 and i just realized it's the most streamed beatle song on spotify like 1.04 billion streams! I live in Rwanda and it's like always sunny, but for the most part i interpret the words to uplift someone from whatever low situation they have and always staying positive.
1969 - before music videos there were the Beatles and the beginning of music videos. So many innovations in music, recording, visuals. And they made great music to listen to and enjoy too. So glad I was there for this whole trip. If you follow their music chronologically it's an even more astounding journey.
Baby Gap asks "How is it possible that four mega-talented people came together and created this band?" I believe it was serendipity. It was also serendipity that Decca rejected them and they ended up on Parlophone with George Martin. It was serendipity that Norman Smith and Geoff Emerick and all the other engineers were able and prepared to provide the audio landscape the lads asked for. Just be thankful. You should react to ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" next for more feelgood, sun-inspired music 😃😃😃
This song goes way back for me because of the Abbey Road album and my older brother always had these great albums because he was over 10 years older than me with a good hi fi set up....Many of them I knew before I was a teenager .. You should check out All Things Must Pass by George ,it was his solo album after the band broke up and ther are many great ones on that such as What Is Life , title track song ,,, Beware of Darkness , Isn't it a Pity .. It is an all around beautiful recording ..
Personally, I don't quite understand, why it's this track of all things, but "Here comes the sun" was the first song from the 1960s, to hit 1,000,000,000 streams on Spotify a few weeks ago.
Daughter Gap said it best; ". . . . the song is perfect." Actually a majority of Beatles' songs are perfect. I was a young teen when Beatlemania hit and their music was fun to listen to. Now, close to 60 years later, they still sound fantastic, even though many of the songs bring me a nostalgic tear. According to many music reactions that I've watched (sorry, ladies, but I have been seeing other sites) today's kids and young adults really enjoy them too. Even hard core metal heads, rappers, and classical music performers and teachers praise the Beatles from the poetry of the lyrics to layering and complexity of the scoring. And keep in mind that the recordings were done with analog technology. We met someone who wanted to hold our hand and in no time at all they took us to see strawberry fields and let us ride in a yellow submarine with many experiences in between. RIP John and George. Rock on Paul and Ringo.
George wrote this in an afternoon.He was sick and tired with endless finance meetings with apple .So he took off and went to Eric Claptons house and the sun came out and he grabed one of erics guitars and walked around his garden and wrote this.Sometimes it pays to take a day off
Always felt George was underused...highlighted by the fact, he wrote the great double album, All Things Must Pass, after they split....by far the best post-Beatles record.
Another great reaction, ladies...I would like to request a song for you ladies to react to..."On and on" by Stephen Bishop...It's a great easy listening song from January 1st 1976...Mama gap may have heard this song during her club days...I believe that I am 2 yrs older than she is by the way...great reaction again, ladies... Take care...
I'm a huge Beatles fan (I don't mean I'm huge in size, just a huge fan😉😂) I love all their songs. Yet for me there is something special about George Harrison songs. This one, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and many others.... best of all is "Something" possibly 1 of the greatest love songs ever written
I remember listening to this on my transistor radio back in '70, while doing weed. Man, I was 16, stoned on "Acapulco Gold" with my girlfriend, and diggin' the shapes in my lava lamp!
"One of the most" LOL If we were Gamblers and the question was most famous band or best band or biggest artists(sold twice as many as the next 2 worldwide acts combined Elvis and Michael Jackson) then we would "BET WITHOUT THE BEATLES" to see who would be second..
I'm the same way I spent most of my life in California and then I moved to Washington and I've been here ever since I don't know why I ever did that I'll always consider California my home
its ok to always have sun but its also nice to have seasons without which,our world would not exist for us humans ans animals,,that said i love this recording by the beatles!
This is the 2019 remix. It sounds more produced to me. The original 2009 mix sounds more like a band playing. Generally speaking, I like all the new remixes. This one bugs me for some reason.
Great Song!!! Love your reaction!!! May I suggest you check out the fairly recent version of this song by Mat And Savanna Shaw!!! You will LOVE IT!!!! Take care!!!
I can't think of a single song today that can match this. So beautiful and poetic. George doesn't get enough credit.
I know it sounds bizarre thing to say, but I think The Beatles are still underrated.
@@CowmanUK😂😂😂
It’s definitely a “perfect” song.
This song is timeless which is why it now has over one Billion streams on Spotify.
One of my favorites of The Beatles. I’ve loved this song for decades.

Its a song that just makes you feel better about everything

Listen to this every spring when the winter is over. Such a beautiful song witten by George, love it
Love the Beatles. I remember their song let it be on the radio in the late 60s. I was only a child but that has stayed with me all my life.
A song about hope and optimism after going through dark days. Just beautiful
Happy 81st Birthday Sir Paul, June 18th!
I've always enjoyed this beautiful uplifting song! And The Beatles were truly an iconic band and their music has stood the test of time.
Enjoyed your reaction and comments, particularly your memories of skating to this song. What a wonderful memory❤
I believe this is the most beautiful song in the world.Thank you for your reaction video.
Hand clapping was a trademark of The Beatles. They employed that on lots of songs going back to “I Want To Hold Your Hand”
My first year in military school, my roommate set the alarm clock for five thirty (half an hour before reveille) so I could get my uniform right. At 5:30 I would hear a click, then the radio "This is KBIM radio. Thank you for starting another day with us." Then, this song would play.

Hurray for both of you. Glad you did this.
Welcome to beautiful Washington! We do love our sunshine, when we finally get it!
Hi Ladies, this is the perfect song for all us UK sun seekers, 😄 I feel this should be our National Anthem. A real feel good song for a Saturday evening, thanks for your reaction. Hope you are both well. 🥰
Thank you Stephen! We’re both doing well. 😊 ☀️
This song reminds me of his My Sweet Lord.
Such a good show today.I always enjoyed teaching this song to my elementary school students. Full of encouragement, hope, and love.Thanks.
I've watched several of your reactions, and finally realized that you deserve a subscription! Keep doing what you're doing!
With that one and Something, Harrison showed that he was able to match the formidable Lennon/McCartney partnership
My favorite beatles song ever..
I want it played at my funeral
love it
Not only one of their absolute best songs but their best production as well. They worked with the best of the best, the synth is barely audible but adds so much to the airy soundscape.
Once they got into their psychedelic period I was less interested in Beatles music. But Abbey Road I really did like and especially "Here Comes the Sun". I remember buying this album on vinyl and later on 8 track tape.
"Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting." That line just makes me want to throw my head back and shout for joy.
I realize "Something" and "Here Come The Sun"... are his best songs.❤❤❤
Don't forgot, another Beatles' "sun" song is also beautiful -- "I'll Follow The Sun" from 1964.
Great Beatles song Nowhere Man
This and "Something" are two of Harrison's finest compositions while he was a Beatle!!!!! Harrison wrote "Here Comes the Sun" at the house of his friend Eric Clapton, in response to the dark mood surrounding the Beatles. Harrison states in his autobiography, I, Me, Mine:

George was so underrated. This is a beautiful song.
One of many brilliant songs from Abbey Road. My favourites are the Medley songs though.
The most played Beatles song. Very well done George! He competed against the best songwriters in history and came up with this!
Baby Gap asks "How is it possible that four mega-talented people came together and created this band?" I believe it was serendipity. It was also serendipity that Decca rejected them and they ended up on Parlophone with George Martin.

I love George Harrison.
I grew up with the Beatles and this song chokes me up it is soooo nostalgic.
I was born and raised in Ukiah, California, moved to Tempe Arizona after the Marine Corps. Anyway, love your channel. You're both beautiful
my favorite song of all time
Sad seeing images of John and George looking happy now they are gone.
This song goes way back for me because of the Abbey Road album and my older brother always had these great albums because he was over 10 years older than me with a good hi fi set up....Many of them I knew before I was a teenager ..

Life wouldn't have been the same without that tune.

George's 'All Things Must Pass' is actually a triple album.

We need you to re-enact your skating routine with the umbrellas 😂😂😂
Word! George Harrison has always been my feav Beatle.
George wrote significant hits for the group in 1968 and 69
I remember listening to this on my transistor radio back in '70, while doing weed. Man, I was 16, stoned on "Acapulco Gold" with my girlfriend, and diggin' the shapes in my lava lamp!
"One of the most" LOL
If we were Gamblers and the question was most famous band or best band or biggest artists(sold twice as many as the next 2 worldwide acts combined Elvis and Michael Jackson) then we would "BET WITHOUT THE BEATLES" to see who would be second..
0:45 Ten years without "Here Comes the Sun" is ten lost years.
I'm the same way I spent most of my life in California and then I moved to Washington and I've been here ever since I don't know why I ever did that I'll always consider California my home
George Martin. The Magic Producer.
This song does not get enough attention for its great-sounding (and perfect for the song) bass.
I love seasons.🇬🇧
Whoever sang the song was the one who wrote the song.
I love this song also, but you should listen to his song 'My Sweet Lord' or even Ringo Starr's song 'Photographs'
🔥🔥
Wow you ladies look lovely in this video ... as usual, but more so in this one i guess. Maybe the color?? Anyway Great tune.
If you're Listening to a very Good Classic radio station, that play songs from the 50's--60-s-70, you'd hear this Song ALEAST Every Few months.
Written in Eric Claptons Garden. George was playing hooky from the BEATLES so he went to Eric house so he couldn't be found.
My ex's favourite.Good choice sweet.
And then George said.....I've got Here Comes The Sun and Something.
George Harrison was a BEATLES!
Come to Britain 🇬🇧 we'll show you Seasons, 4 in one day
I'm told there's an alternate version of this song with a score from George Martin. If so, that might be worth checking out.
More beatles pls
Don't know what part of Washington you're in, but yes, Washington is rainy, the only rainforest in ALL of North America is on the Washington coast.
A lot of the credit needs to go to their producer, George Martin, for their awesome music.
its ok to always have sun but its also nice to have seasons without which,our world would not exist for us humans ans animals,,that said i love this recording by the beatles!
listen to the latest beatles hit "Now and Then"
This is the 2019 remix. It sounds more produced to me. The original 2009 mix sounds more like a band playing. Generally speaking, I like all the new remixes. This one bugs me for some reason.
Great Song!!! Love your reaction!!! May I suggest you check out the fairly recent version of this song by Mat And Savanna Shaw!!! You will LOVE IT!!!! Take care!!!
❤❤❤❤❤🌞🌞🌞
Now do Ritchie Havens.
Can you do some beatles songs you both haven't heard?!?
Hold up a minute, how can this be a reaction if you ladies have heard it already! 😂
So,..why did you move to Washington state?
So y'all already know most of the songs that you're reacting too
Or at least one of you haven't heard?
Norwegian wood and she’s leaving home are also fantastic songs, but are you two the only reaction channel not to listen to Ren?
it's sad in a way because some of the photos are the last of the beatles together
