JAMES TAYLOR - Here comes the sun ( by George Harrison)

- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2012
- Un giorno della primavera del 1969 George Harrison si presentò a casa dell'amico Eric Clapton per fagli ascoltare dei nastri.
Finita la seduta di ascolto, i due si riposarono nel giardino della villa dove il sole batteva forte, e proprio in quel momento venne a George l'ispirazione per questa canzone, dedicata al sole appunto.
Il brano è tuttora una delle migliori composizioni di Harrison insieme a Something, ed è anche una delle canzoni più conosciute dei Beatles.
Il pezzo fu registrato senza l'apporto di John Lennon, ancora ricoverato in ospedale dopo un lieve incidente stradale.

Divine talent. James Taylor. So humble, too. His smile is magical and his music is a gift to every human ear. He's one of a kind.
The pure child-like joy that sweeps over Yo-Yo Ma's face during the performance - I hope everyone gets to experience that sort of happiness sometime in their lives. It's contagious.
100%! Check out his reaction when Led Zeppelin are inducted and Heart sing Stairway. Best.thing.ever!
Well, you have to also consider that Yo-Yo Ma shows the same or greater joyful enthusiasm when a leaf falls to the ground.
Wonderful version. John Taylor and the orchestra are magnetic
its james taylor sorry
So many references to George Harrison: the uke/banjo, the Indian notes from Within you etc.
This honorary must be an avid fan of George ❤️
God bless you, George.
Oh my goodness... the AMAZING George Harrison’s song, the incredible Ma, the purity of James Taylor and an orchestra, young people and Elmo within that chorus? This is pure beauty and an amazing rendition for all to hear and feel!
This song was so near perfect in it's original state, it can be a little tough to hear any kind of liberties taken with it.
I love Richie Havens' version. Nina Simone's is another.
The 4 "suns" didn't sit right at first, but it fell into place after a couple of repetitions.
This brought a tear to my eye. It blossomed sonically. Gorgeous.
Incredible version of this fabulous song, Love It
I can't get enough of listening to this. The cello intro is Sublime. It's my favourite song of all time.
I don't understand why people hate this rendition so much... I love it!
Wonderful!, wonderful!, this song put tears on my eyes!
+Dr. Hugo Palma Espinosa I agree, Doc. Some of these folks apparently have no ear for music. And, btw, that "guy" was Yo Yo-Ma, arguably the best living cello player in the world.
This brought me to tears 😇
James was just in my little S: Italian town---he was splendid!! He talked about the songs, joked a bit with the audience in not-so-bad Italian and at the end shocked all by coming to the front of the stage and signing autographs for all-and-sundry for a long time. I heard one guy comment "These Americans are incredible. Anybody else of his magnitude would have been hustled off by his bodyguards".
I taught him the Italian for "lullabye": "ninna-nanna", to introduce "Sweet Baby James".
A wonderful arrangement. Using James' recording of the song with YoYo Ma, George's love of Indian music, the imagery of children and color and light (and Elmo, of course), the simple beauty of the song was heard as if through a kaleidoscope - different shadings, and shapes, and rhythmic surprises - sounds never heard before with this melody, all of it expanding from this quiet little tune of hope.
James Taylor has always interpreted other's songs in his own way and I love each and every one of them. How sad if we all played everything the same way.
Thank you, beautiful.
wonderful arrangement! turned it into a beautiful waltz. this is how to do a tribute!
Fantastic interpretation...George would have been very impressed.
this is , with no doubt, the most beautiful and difficult version to do of the Harrison´s theme, magistral arrangement of John Williams, the syncopated rhythm gives brigtness and remembers the the classical air of great musicians, from Bach to Gershwin, sure the very George Harrison would be pleased with it. greetings from Lima Peru
Hermoso comentario
Yo Yo Ma seems genuinely touched. Perhaps genius recognizes genius
Qué bonitos arreglos y la voz de James Taylor es insuperable.
That smile on his face and the gratitude is why we are alive!
+SmD71nG You Owe your existence + that of yours to james taylor- (being a fan) I think he would be quite worried if he heard of such mindless idolatry- instead of living the meaning of those songs!
Omygosh - one of the greatest, by one of the greatest, newly reinterpreted by one of the greatest. A transcendental experience.
You have JOHN WILLIAMS conducting it, a CHILDREN'S CHOIR, instruments from around the WORLD, and JAMES TAYLOR singing a wonderful song by GEORGE HARRISON and playing his guitar with his memorable iconic voice. All of this to celebrate the TALENT of YO YO MA!!! WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR??
James!! Que hermoso que estás!! Hermosa versión del tema de mí querido George!!!
its so nourishing to see and hear an obviously extremely talented group of performers playing a song,in their own way,of one of this planets musical treasures,GH.This is a performance which honours all of us who want a happier and safer world for EVERYONE.just love one another.I feel so blessed to have seen this.
I love, love love this! Thanks for sharing it. xxxx
What a magnificent vídeo for those ones that music is our live. Thanks a lot for posting it!!
Why are they wearing those colors? the colors on Merryl's dress
The colors you see are part of the medal awarded to each Kennedy Center Honorees. If you look again, you'll see Yo Yo Ma wearing the same colors.
great emotions... straight to the heart !! extraordinary...
Beautiful!
This is so beautiful. Just another reason to love you, James!
Maravilhosa música e letra de George Harrison na voz de James Taylor!!!!!!
A gem from before the world ended
I like it so much!!! it is another way of playing music!!! and the played with an orchestra!!! what else do you want!!!! it is music!!! music!!! in its different ways
Elena Godoy It bastardized the original. Adding arrangement is one thing but to completely lose the original melody is sacreligious.
Sublime.
Thank you for sharing - just incredible!
the most amazing tribute ever. love love love this. chillllllzzz
Remarkable!!😀😍
WE LOVE U JAMES! I UNDERSTAND A LOT ABOUT HUMANITY. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT.
A WORK OF ART!
This is my favorite version this song. Love it!
Simply brilliant and moving
An excellent singer is singing an excellent song.
Whenever I hear the vocal of James Taylor , I can feel the good heart of United of States of America. From Tokyo
unique la grande classe rien a dire respect
great cover
Thanks
James Taylor & crew ✌🌻🌻🌻☀☀☀
am excessively elated to see all these beautiful and talented people together...thank you for sharing this here!!!
James Taylor ha una voce incredibile. Mi sorprende ogni volta.
Tra l'altro gran bell'arrangiamento per questo brano.
Thanks for sharing...
I thought it was different and I liked it very much
Love it! Something different but sooo good to hear and watch!
you took the words out of my --- goose flesh!!!! I've loved JT's and Yo-Yo's collaboration on this since the first time I heard it. To see him clearly feeling humbled by this arrangement brought tears to my eyes. pure bliss!
This is making music about music. I like it and i think George would like it too.
Belíssima interpretação!
Da brividooooooo ...♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
AMAZING!
First time listening was caught off guard by the change of the song and felt irritated that wasn't the same beloved song version expected to hear. James Taylorized the song, though I love James Taylor. Very much enjoyed watching expressions of appreciation by Yo-Yo Ma. Second time listened to the song, then let it wash over and appreciated the interplay of the excellent musicians and voices. I think when listen a third time that will fall in love with this version.
I think Mr Taylor's phrasing is as great as always and very refreshing.
Just lovely beautiful and sweet💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌈🌈💞💞🌷🌷🌺🌺🌸
He's happily married to a lady who hooked him up orchestrally. Now this sort of thing is what he mostly does, and there is a new(er) album. The ultimate soother, we will never tire of James' voice and signature style. Thank you James Taylor for sticking around...always a pleasure.
Simply wonderful !
Magnífico!
beautiful rendition...
My God, that was exquisite.
Wonderful version.
Very good James ❤️❤️
Assim é o magnífico momento!... Em que a arte supera a tudo e a todos!...
Grazie Riccardo.........video stupendo
I agree with both, purists and non-purist, in that everybody can have an opinion. When you play a cover you have to put your own print and that was extraordinarily done here. We need to be open to art. The original version is there forever and will always be untouchable, however this new version is like a brand new song. Just think like that...a brand new song by James Taylor. Wouldn't you like it? I dare to say that George Harrison who was James Taylor's personal friend would have love it. This is like drinking wine, sticking to the same and not trying new ones becomes boring. Love it! I love Harrison and I love Taylor...two contemporary geniuses.
We agree I first heard Here Come the Sun when I was 13 and each time I have heard it again it fills me with never ending joy and wonder that such a perfect song could have been written arranged and played.....funny thing is that I am a cellist and greatly admire Yo Yo Ma:) James seems to lag behind the whole song...but I still think that he is a genius...all I have to listen to You can close your eyes with Carly Simon and him playing at his house and time stops: pure manifestation of perfection.
Very good!!!!
simply wonderful
Sublime!
made me cry.. so awesome james youre the man
Out of this world... heavenly!
Thank you!!!
Maravilha!! James meu ídolo!!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Flashes of brilliance !
Awesome !!!!! PERIOD !
A canção ficou ainda mais bonita.
I really liked James' altered vocal melody, I went back and had to hear it again immediately.
grazie.
so good
One of the best videos on the World Wide Web!
That's Pure admiration for James they have a long history
Yo Yo Ma, James Taylor, and John Williams - What a nice treat. And real nice to hear Here comes the sun!
Awesome!
Quanto mais escuto James Taylor mais me apaixono.
I totally loved it. Brilliant performance.
bellissimo!!!!
Ilike the Beatles still today, They wrote music for the whole world, for times. This Version of this song is wonderfull ! It will show you what wonderfull songwriter wrote this song 1968/1969....
Sensacional!!
Lost of all the melodic brilliance and punch of the original...great example of how trying to make an original version of an already great song can fall flat on its face.
the orchestral sound he manages to get from a simple acoustic guitar never ceases to amaze..
I have no words that can express how impossibly awesome this is. :D
that was amazing. Thank you for posting, Mr. d'Alterio.
This Collaboration is Really Beautiful and Inspiring , I watched it twice.
i like him,one of the best
Absolutely Alright!❤❤❤😄🎻🎤🎺🎻🎸
unbelievable!
you are absolutely correct !!!
