BREAKING NEWS (July 10): “‘Here Comes The Sun’ becomes The Beatles’ first-ever top ten title on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart.” Great timing, eh?

[@MALLUPLATO]

that's why i came here today

[@drutgat2]

Fantastic news. But the best news of the decade is the imminent re-release of the 'Let It Be' film, and the release of the new accompanying documentary. That was announced the day after I finally gave up hoping - a very weird coincidence given that hope lasted over 30 years.

[@Frankenstein-1]

@@drutgat2 I went to the theater with a friend when that movie came out. My friend begged me to leave 1/3 of the way into the movie. It looks like I'll finally get to see the whole thing.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

just what is "Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart" anyway? I always preferred "here comes the sun" to "something." in fact, next to "golden slumbers" I think "something" is the weakest song on the album. "here comes the sun" and "think for yourself" are 2 of my favorite beatles' songs. but then again, I have MANY favorite beatles' songs.

[@sageohio1864]

The morning they announced that George had died I was driving in north Columbus on I-71 to work and they played this on the radio, it had been raining and when song started the most beautiful rainbow was in the sky. People were pulling over and pointing at it. You knew everyone was listening to this song. I cried all the way to work.

The wall had multiple windows. Radio on but the volume was somewhat subdued. You know what they played. All three of use were speechless. Joe Bob summed it up nicely - " I couldn't believe how that experience made me feel". Wishing all of you positive experiences that open your mind to the bigger picture in this play we live called "Life".

I'll never forget that in March of 1973 I was having one of the worst months of my life at junior high school. I was constantly being picked on and bullied by the other students, leaving me in tears.

@Ruby BadillaYes, this is truly a brilliant accident.

[@debdriev2479]

@@garlandhogan3158 Didn't the Beatles have many of these brilliant accidents, too? Or do you think they were more talent directed accidents? SOME accidents are on purpose. The resident Muse strikes a cord!

[@garlandhogan3158]

@@debdriev2479 Great questions! Did The Beatles do this sort of thing more than others? And, weren't these actually more like creative choices than accidents. At the risk of being too analytical about an artistic process, I would say two things. The Beatles (and George Martin, of course), deliberately stretched the forms and methods of recording far more often, and far more broadly, than most well-known pop musicians. So, lots more chances to make brilliant accidents/choices outside of the usually pop-making processes. Second, I believe that Paul is a genius; John was a rebel who really rocked hard; George was a fairly good musician whose Great Soul later shown through; and, Ringo was lucky. But the combination of the four of them, at that cultural moment, resulted in collective brilliance. Their records surpass most of the popular music of any era. (Yet.) So, yes, I believe that many of their records include talent-directed accidents of the highest order. Now, please Deb, don't let the haters start hating on me. These are just my opinions, and I respect different ones than mine. I can easily make the case for Lennon's genius as a singer, especially "White Album" era. But Ringo as a great drummer? Sorry. (A subtly charismatic character...OK. But as a musician? No. Great drummers play like Harvey Mason and Omar Hakim and Lenny White.) Does the Resident Muse have intriguing opinions about other kinds of music, or just about our favorite Fab Four?

[@stormhawk3319]

Probably The Beatles most uplifting song. A quiet triumph for the Quiet One.

[@harris2166]

"Here comes the sun" in my mind perfectly encompasses the feeling of optimism and perseverance. Calling it the best song ever might be up to personal preference but it certainly is one of the most human songs in history.

[@TheJonesy1957]

"Here Comes The Sun" has always been my favourite George Harrison song. I forget that it's considered a "Beatles" song. George was my favourite "Beatle" from the time that I saw them appear on Ed Sullivan 9 February 1964. He loomed large in my life with the "Beatles" and with his solo career. As is discussed in this video, at the time the song was being recorded, in our part of the world, my family and friends had just experienced a major Hurricane. I was barely 12 and our lives were going to be different. Different, but, at least we were intact and safe. And now, he is still a huge part of my life. For a brief time, I drove a VW Beetle and, in keeping with the tradition of naming my vehicles, his name was "George". Unfortunately, he was totaled by a terrible driver. I now drive a Volkswagen EOS. He is George 2.O and is a hard-top convertible. Nothing quite like putting in a George Harrison CD, putting the top down and having nothing betwixt you and the sky. My family knows already that at my memorial service, I wish to have "Here Comes The Sun" played as it is such an uplifting song. Many thanks for taking your time to put this video together and please tell your wife "many thanks" for her patience and support.

[@brianarbenz7206]

Love this story! I identify. I was a five-year-old on 2/9/64. And I always did like George the most of the fab four. Often, John's boldness, Paul's charm or Ringo's quirkiness would outshine George's rather serious air, but as the years went by, George qualities lasted.

And unless you were a rich hi fi buff, that was the only way to hear music! Not that we cared. Previous generations had put up with 78s after all.

Here Comes The Sun is probably my all time favorite or any artist in any genre. That album was released when I was 12 years old, and going through significant changes in my life. But that one song gave me a happy outlook. As an aside The song by George on his first solo album "what Is Life" was released at the same time as my grandfathers death in 1971. It fit what I felt at the time as my maternal grandparents raised me until then. "What Is My Life Without Your Love". Now I am just an old foolish man that still identifies with the music of that time so long ago.

george harrison was the beatle i liked the most for some reason.

[@nelsonvega2919]

Thank you for revealing the genuses of "Here comes the sun", one of my favorit songs.

[@ryguyboi5333]

My cat just passed away and he loved the sunshine and when I hear the song I always tear up.

[@amydecker6207]

Awwwww. Sending big love your way. We lost two elderly cats amd an elderly dog this year, all within five months. I understand your sadness.

[@timberwolf2543]

Yes, I totally understand both of your experiences. Without saying any more, God bless you both.

[@georgemijatovic3076]

So sorry about your cat. We picked up a feral kitten 2 years ago and he is warmed up to us now and a beautiful nebilim / American alley cat mix but pure black. Very very beautiful very nice cat. Like a dog. He listens to me. He comes to me. He'll stop when I tell him to stop if he's after something. Is really something else. Is like a child to me. If it wasn't for him I probably would have died from depression with my kids all moved out. My cats name is beautiful. I'm so sorry you lost your friend

Harrison was so underrated.

[@TheDylandProductions]

It's a bit like the little song that could. I've always thought "Here Comes the Sun" was a great song, but it originally never charted - being an album track, not a single. Nice to know that it finally got "official" recognition on the iTunes charts 40 years later! And it's still one of The Beatles most beloved songs today! :)

The first position D chord is usually a very common chord to do multiple pickings on. Additionally for a lot of guitarists, it's the chord most used to learn how to fingerpick.

[@minstrelofMir]

yer as really hes playing it in E not D since he capo"s 2 frets, the key is just so the singer doesant go to high or lower than they can do,and in my case as i have a funny key (you probably know this if you play) ynwa

Great video! Very informative. Thank you both for taking the time to make it.

[@windbreaker57]

I loved how you brought all the hidden details out; they fleshed out and textured the song in a way that makes me understand and appreciate the song in an even more profound way. Thanks to you and your lady for this very rewarding piece. Subscribed!

[@FabFourArchivist]

Thanks for the very kind words. I catch some flak for being too analytical, but - for me and others like you - it helps us appreciate the music even more. That's the goal with these. Glad you enjoyed!

[@wortelmanis1]

Thanks for the information. No wonder everytime I hear the song it’s a kind of self-boosting energy within me which really makes my day.

That was a fabulous historical golden gem. I never knew George was at Eric Clapton’s home when it came to him, and 2 weeks after not picking up the guitar. What a masterpiece it is, sure to stand the test of time and bring sunshine for generations to come.

My first record I bought was the Beatles 1967-1970! I was like 13 years old and to this day I listen to the songs.

[@cwsingerjr8805]

Perfect reply. I think I was 11 with a transistor radio listening to Art Roberts on WLS in Chicago when "I Want To Hold Your Hand" knocked out "Sugar Shack" and "Remember (Walking in The Sand)" in the top ratings of the day. They were so different that what we had been hearing on commercial AM radio (before FM). I hated IWTHYH at the time but I ot them with "She Loves You". I feel the same as the author of the oriinal post but as opposed to 13, I am still 11.

[@ricardo_miguel13]

Exactly the same (beatles 1967-1970), around 12.

This is a quality piece of work. Your script treads carefully - so appreciated 'virtually' where other might put' literally'. Worthy of the song.

[@sharonchevalier922]

Great video!! Thanks to you and your wife! Pics I’ve never seen along with all the details. When my son was young I’d sing this to him with other songs about sunshine ☀️ as I opened his blinds in the mornings. Happy memories! Owned the vinyl most of my life, need to replace it. Really appreciate what you said about the vinyl! Thanks again 🌈🦋🌹

I remember hearing "Here Comes The Sun" in 1969 on the radio in my family's Ford Country Squire station wagon. I was 8 years old and that song brought a feeling of profound joy. Whenever I hear it up to the present day, I recall that feeling immediately. I have said it all these years: Here Comes The Sun is the greatest song written so far.

[@Linerguru]

I really enjoyed this VDO. I didn't realize that the MOOG had been so resposible for the pleasure I derived over the years from this great song !!! Wekk done to you and your wife for this production !!!!! Brian

[@ChefClary60]

I remember listening to Abby Road through really good headphones around 1970 and immediately heard the MOOG. First time I ever heard a synth in a record. Thought it was bad ass. And of course, it was.

[@candysanders4278]

I really love this song since it conveys the feeling of hope & joy in the middle of this horrible Corona-19 pandemic. Thank You-Sooo Much! Candy in south Florida

[@lorenzodionlee3988]

Your wife deserves credit and a Big THANK YOU for helping turn a potential run-of-the-mill Music and Artist Background Chanel into the interesting product you guys are giving us viewers/listeners instead! Based on the way you guys provide clear and interesting details and Factual information about the song, music and Artist. The way your wife and you are presenting and producing your show STANDS OUT and it has a Father, an Inventor. In 1969 a Radio DJ thought just providing the artist name and spinning records was boring and he wanted to try something NEW but his boss REJECTED his suggestions! So,..took it upon himself to risk sure firing and his very next show, he SHOCKED and PLEASED his listeners by giving a little story and background and personal facts about the song, music, artist and even some highlights and history of the band and their lives. His name was, Casey Kasem! He was very successful and started his Top 40 countdown in 1970 to a long, long successful profitable career and gave birth to a format and style that NEVER existed before him! Thank you and Definitely your wife for today’s “Here Comes The Sun” piece and the future projects!

[@marylarson2830]

I had an older brother that loved the sound of the Beatles, along with the other bands of that era. Lucky me I inherited all of his albums when he left home to discover himself. I love watching these behind the scenes videos. They are alot of work and not everybody gets the credit where credit is due. So to the wife that helped props to you! Didn't hear your name mentioned from your husband, but he did mention you!

[@richardbeam1132]

Of course listening to it on ACID back then turned it into a life changing experience! Songs that make you high just by listening to them are rare indeed! I can think of only a few, off hand. "On The Way Back Home" by NRPS and "It's A Beautiful Day Today" by Moby Grape! I am showing my age here and I expect every generation to have their own list!
