Honestly, I feel like George made the right call. The harmonies and synthesizer riffs are more than enough in its place. Also, do you remember that clip where Dahni, Giles (?) and George Martin discovered the solo while remixing the song? The pure look of astonishment on George Martin's face is something I'm sure we all shared.

@elirosen1391 - yeah, it's such a great moment - especially witnessing Dhani's pure joy at hearing something 'new' from his Dad for the first time. I'm a little surprised they didn't release a bonus version with the solo for the Abbey Road Deluxe Edition box set. That would have been neat!

From what I heard, the solo didn't sound polished enough. It could have been developed. But the song is so tightly and excellently arranged, it's probably better that it was omitted.

I was lucky enough to drive George on a number of occasions when he came to LA. I noticed a tiny instrument case he carried into the back of the limo and asked if it was a ukulele. "Yes, it's the most versatile instrument I own." and he proceeded to take it out and play Here Comes the Sun just for me. I had no recording device on me so it's only in my memory but it's a highlight of my life.

My father passed away two years ago after a 12-year battle with Alzheimer's. As he lost his abilities, music was the one thing that always sparked a reaction, especially the music of his favorite band, The Beatles. Even when he could barely respond to anything, just a few chords from the Fab Four would light up his eyes and bring a smile to his face. On the day of my father's funeral, unbeknownst to my mother and me, my sister asked the choir to sing Here Comes the Sun as they carried his coffin. It was one of the most joyful and heartbreaking moments of my life. After two years of longing, this will always be our song.

I first heard "Here Comes the Sun" on a cheap, portable turntable at Ft. Polk, LA. It was just after I returned from Viet Nam and I was trying to shed that year and its misery. One of the NCOs at the company to which I had just been assigned was pulling CQ (Charge of Quarters) that night; I couldn't sleep (my body clock and brain were still in the war), and he loaned me his player and the album and opened the Mess Hall ("Dining Facility" these days) and told me to listen. I must have played the album 5 or 6 times. I must have plays HCTS a dozen. It helped pull me back from the war. In the 200 or so times I've played it over the decades, it never fails to soothe. An amazing pice of writing, singing, and arranging. Pure beauty. RIP, George Harrison, and thank you. You were one of a kind and you truly helped a young G.I.

I think that comment is indicative of the contempt that some had of George's songwriting compared to that of John and Paul's at that time. Of course, in retrospect, it is absurd. The song Something iwas one of the most covered songs in the 20th century and Frank Sinatra thought it was the best love song he had heard. Here Comes the Sun is now the most downloaded song in the Beatles catalog. Case closed.

I think part of the reason Here Comes The Sun is so successful is that at first listen it seems so simple but then on repeated listening the layers and complications weave their way into your brain. It’s fascinating that he was able to weave just enough complexity into it without overwhelming the feeling of simplicity. He would try certain elements and then pull them back as too far. The result feels as delicate as a soufflé.

@@gordon5004 Yeah, it's a shame that falsehood has been repeated so many times over the years that's it's been commonly accepted as fact. It's especially disappointing when considering Sinatra the artist was noted for taking great care in always crediting the writers of all the songs he performed, be it Gershwin or Porter, Rogers and Hart or Hammerstein, Sondheim, Mercer, Cahn and Van Heusen, Legrand, the Bergmans or Berlin. Sinatra had especially high praise for Something calling it one of the great love songs of the 20th century. He tried recording it 3 times (all fails), he told us why he liked the song - because it manages to say I love you without ever actually using the words "I love you" - and he met George. I think it's safe to say Frank knew which beatle wrote the song. Ironically, it was Paul McCartney who started that rumor on I believe the Mike Douglas show. Food for thought.

When I went through a particularly bad case of COVID-19 in March-April 2020, I remember the nursing staff at the hospital would play this in the hallways whenever a COVID patient lived and got to leave the hospital to go home. They actually played this for me twice--the first time when I was being transferred to another hospital for physical rehab, but I contracted pneumonia shortly after and was sent back to the original hospital. A couple weeks later, I was able to leave to actually go home and they played it again for me as they wheeled me out. Still makes me smile anytime I hear this song (and Elton John's "I'm Still Standing").

There's something incredibly timeless in their music. Heck even their early years have many timeless classics, And all new generations still discover the fab four for the first time. I've seen lots of youngsters in the past 2 years who watched the Beatles "Get Back" mini series with great excitement, seeing how some of their favorite songs were conceived at the time the Beatles sadly grew apart as a band but started to become emancipated independent musicians. My dad always loved the Beatles and i came to them because of him. I remember as a kid in the 90s, always looking curiously at his Cassettes of the two Beatles compilation Albums, where they look down from a staircase. I personally had the great honor of walking around Liverpool, seeing the Penny Lane statue and walking by the Cavern Club and residing in a hostel pretty close to it. Felt like walking on holy ground.

Not to forget they were also insanely unreliable too because the circuits were VERY sensitive to temperature changes and that made them very hard to tune and keeping them in tune. Kraftwerk famously always had to re-tune their instruments after every song during their concerts, sometimes even compensating that during the song as they played. This is something that got a lot better in the 80s when Oscillators became digitally controlled and not purely voltage controlled. The Oscillators were still analog but a digitally controlled power-input made them a LOT more in-tune. In the beginning Synthesizers really were only at their best when used in the Studio and a controllable environment. And yes, not many could afford both.

From Georges own mouth, this song Was about the Devotees of Krsna, How they would light up the day every time he saw them. He became one...

Yes, but the whole ‘Abbey Road’ album was a hurricane of over-dubs. They were using an 8 track machine, and just kept piling it on. ‘Sergeant Pepper’ was only FOUR track, though they did a lot of ‘bouncing’.

Love seeing George's hand writing of the lyrics... 😊
@ianbartle456Ай бұрын
Me too - as a songwriter, I quickly picked up how he opted for that alliteration using the s on the 'iSe is Slowing melting' and 'Smiles returning to the faSes'. Good choice then to replace the 'feels' with 'Seems like new Since it'S been clear'. Writing lyrics didn't come easily to George but he worked at it and eventually he struck gold. When George was struggling with the lyric of Something, the suggestion for John to use the word 'cauliflower' as a place holder was hilarious - but essentially correct. Often in pop writing, it can be less about direct meaning, than about the feeling of a word and the way it sits in the music and the surrounding words' sounds. Sometimes you have to wait and hang in there until the correct word to fill the hole emerges. People often make up their own meanings in the imaginations anyway... and then there are mondegreens...!

Like all the best Beatles songs, 'Here Comes The Sun' is musical perfection. The acoustic guitar, the Moog, Ringo's drumming augmented by handclaps, the orchestration, and those beautiful vocals are highlights within a killer track from my all-time favourite album. I'm glad George had the foresight to not include the lead guitar overdub as it wasn't an elegant fit. I liked this mini-documentary very much, thank you! :)

I would argue that he was actually the secret sauce. Hear me out: Wings and John's solo work are theoretically not terribly different from their later contributions to The Beatles catalog. So why, then, are those tunes, with a handful of notable exceptions, generally not venerated to the same extent? I maintain it is because of the absence of George's tasteful and divine contributions. Yes, he was a wingman to a degree, enhancing the other guys' work, but without his input (and to be fair Ringo's as well) those solo releases just are a bit lacking. Anyway, I just get the sense he was the straw that stirred the drink, as they say. I can say with certainty that his playing gives me chills in many of their tunes, and if there ever were an example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, it is with the aptly named Fab Four.

I had it on a 45 at age 9 in '69. I watched my older, hippie brother change from his "Coke bottle bottoms" glasses into round tinted 'Lennon specs'. His apartment had hanging bead strings in the doorways and a huge hookah where the coffee table was supposed to be. I inherited most of his albums and 45s from the mid to late sixties, so I was tapping out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida melodies and such probably before anybody my age at that time. I wish I had kept all of those records.

Well said! 👍 The only thing I would add is that I often say that ALL the members of The Beatles should get some sort of song-writing credit for EACH song. When The Beatles broke up and recorded their solo albums and thus had to rely on studio musicians, the studio musicians were there to basically just pick up a paycheck. Punch in, punch out for the day. But when Paul brought into the studio an early draft of a song ... or John did ... or later George ... all the other members would attack the song, each adding a little bit here, a little bit there. In essence, "writing" their parts to the song. And they did this until they ALL felt the song was done -- a real group effort. It appeared to be a painstaking process, but I think each member felt that if it was a Beatles product, then it had to be the very best it could be. They were all upholding The Beatles name. 😃

That was the glide/portamento from the keyboard controller. The same thing Emerson used to great effect on ELP's Lucky Man and Hoedown , REO Speedwagon's intro to Ridin' the Storm Out, and a thousand other Moog solos. Simple and inexpensive to implement, it's a feature on almost every analog synth. George's Moog also had a ribbon controller that could also be used to play glide-y stuff, as did Keith Emerson's (but his could also shoot out fireballs on stage!).

One thing that amazes me about Here Comes The Sun is how easily Ringo was able to play through all those time changes in the bridge section, 7/8, 11/8, 4/4 without a hitch. Yet, when you listen to the transitional parts between the choruses and verses, isolate the drum tracks, and you can hear George pickscraping his electric guitar on the triplet parts to help Ringo along. That he could play the real time changes seemlessly speaks higher volumes of Ringo's talent that the parts where he did need George's help.
