I've always thought Here Comes the Sun was George's finest song, even over Something and Guitar Gently Weeps. The lyrics are very uplifting and positive, the music is bright and airy while the harmonies are perfectly Beatlesque. As the video shows, every aspect is blended so perfectly. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Truly a masterpiece!!

@@RobertCassard 👍 Thank you Robert, going to watch that video right now. Not going to bore you with my story, but growing up in Scandinavia, discovered the blues as a teenager, got a guitar (not electric, lived in an apartment) and got an album with a photo of some open chords and then the holy grail, open G tuning. I did pretty good with slide, but since I never played with anyone else, I did not grow and learn as I should have. Moved to the USA at 20, but then life happened and the guitar took a back seat. I feel like your videos really clicked with me, so hopefully I can move on and start learning more. Thank you again.

I love this song and have been exposed to it constantly over the years in SAR and as an EMT because it has long been used in hospitals in dark times or during humanitarian relief efforts to sooth staff or celebrate coming back from the brink ("Code Sunshine"). But I can't say I've appreciated its complexities as much as I do now after watching this. Strings of any type have always been a mystery to me. I've tried multiple times to learn guitar or bass and I just don't seem to have the knack for them being more geared to percussion, woodwinds, and horns. So hearing them broken down like this is like witnessing aural wizardry. Glad you recommended this over on the other thread. P.S. Your wife was right to have you do a Ringo video. I wouldn't have got to your channel otherwise. 😁

But if you take it out of the mix, you’d know something is missing.

In an interview with John Lennon on Radio Luxembourg when Abbey Road came out, the interviewer asked about GH: "He has so many good songs .... Why don't we hear more of them?" To which John replied, "He has so many more that were absolute rubbish. It was all we could do to keep them off the records." It has come out more recently that in the dynamic of the Beatles, it was John's group. If he didn't like it, it didn't get done. And here we are, George with Paul and Ringo. George Martin admitted that he didn't pay enough attention to cultivate George's talent. "When you are working all the time with two geniuses like John and Paul, well a talent like George just gets ignored." And George himself said, that John and Paul had written all their bad songs BEFORE they recorded any. He didn't get that luxury. So we see George warts and all. Of course, John was dismissive of Ringo too: "... No, he's not even the best drummer **in the Beatles**." Well, good for you, George. And he died happy, with a good wife, and a solid, respected career.

Excellent breakdown of the song. And the highlighting of the "imperfections is another interesting aspect of Beatles recording..."happy accidents" or deliberate e.g. the slightly out of tune guitar creating that effect. Just one thing i wonder how much input George Martin had (apart from the score) , for example the backing vocals etc. George Martin's production was always just right, and i wonder how All Things Must Pass would have sounded with his lighter touch? Lastly I stay about 2 hours down the coast from Sutherland, Scotland, where John and Yoko (plus Kyoko and Julian) had the car crash whilst travelling to Durness to see relatives. Yoko was pregnant and suffered a miscarriage soon after. She spent time in a bed in studio when recovering which must have been awkward to say the least.

Interesting connections. Regarding George Martin, he's my other favorite Beatle, and his contributions are particularly notable on a song like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiunKFnpNSmj8k

​@@RobertCassardThe perfect partner for the band as he and his team nurtured and encouraged their development, and indulged their creativity and experimentations. One other connection, The Beatles first gig of 1963 was about 1.5 miles away on the 3rd January at The 2 Red Shoes Ballroom, Elgin here in Moray NE Scotland.

Thanks so much. You know, I've always loved Be Here Now, too. I have a recording of myself attempting to play and sing it at about age 12! If you're a John Lennon fan, Bonnie, you might enjoy this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e52wnGZ9j62lg9k

George wrote many wonderful and melodic songs in his post-Beatles career. But Here Comes the Sun is one of the most popular and successful songs of all time by any artist. It's the Beatles' #1 most streamed song on Spotify.

It's a pity George's song writing wasn't nurtcherd by John and Paul they could have had some better tracks on some of their albums....Here comes the Sun and While My Guitar Gently Weeps are as good as any other Beatles songs...IMO

Agreed, Ron. George Martin also said one of his greatest regrets is not taking George seriously enough earlier than he did.

7:36 come on dude that's marketing BS so they don't have to lower prices on defective articles or tear it out and redo it. Imagine the jokes and funny excuses they'd tell. It was probably pretty amusing to listen to them. If you purposefully make something imperfect, then it is really perfect, isn't it.
