Here comes the sun
Doo-d'n doo-doo
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darlin'
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin'
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun (doo-d'n doo-doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darlin'
The smiles returning to their faces
Little darlin'
It seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun (doo-d'n doo-doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darlin'
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darlin'
It seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun (doo-d'n doo-doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun (doo-d'n doo-doo)
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right

I used to sing this to my beautiful baby daughter to help her get to sleep. She's now a beautiful 18 year old lady with a great ear for good music

I was an announcer at the college radio station.  I asked another DJ to play this song on-air for me just before I walked in to my 7:40am Biology final to  give me good luck. I sat in my car and waited...and waited...and waited...he played it at 7:39.   I was late for the final but listened to the whole thing. I passed.

It's as delightful a pop song as any of us ever needed.  

Perfection, I'd say.

We had a snow and ice storm here today, and have had a cold, dreary day. When this song started, the sun came out and shone for a brief moment.  Perfect! The song ended and clouds are now returning the promise of a grey day.

Posted 12 years ago by tulfan    [ Reply ]
This song is just wonderful and from what I consider to be the gold standard rock medley (for those who don't agree, that's okay, the world is full of beautiful music and there's enough to go around).  In fact, the whole album is my all time #1 favorite, so much so in fact, that every time I hear something from it, I am filled with amazement at just how good it was and remains.  Sadly, each of those "eargasms" tears a tiny hole in my heart, because I know that no matter how much I wish for more from the Beatles, it's all done, that's all we get — sniff.  {#Sunny}

I can't believe I didn't rate this song earlier! So, okay - 10.  Easily.  I can hear this song and automatically grin, no matter what's going on around me.  George Harrison has always been, and will always be, my favorite Beatle.

I looove this song so much although it's a bit bittersweet... played it at my mom's burial.  Kind of good timing for hearing this since yesterday was the 16th anniversary of her passing.  It always makes me tear up a little.  But what a beautiful melody.

This version sounds strange to me. The vocal sounds mixed well below the instrumental parts. Has this been remastered by  someone with delusions of superior soundscape? And I must agree that this is one of the more perfect songs of the past decades. There was a time when this was the new music of the day, played on lots of radio stations. Back when the world was fresh.

Okay, I have some 9,000 songs on my iPod.  That's more than some and a lot less than many.  But I say this only to say that I'm not a novice to the music game.  And I say the following without hyperbole.  This song may be the best song written in the last half of the 20th Century.  Few songs qualify as perfect.  This one does.  Not only can it not be ruined by a cover, it can't be improved either.  I adore The Beatles, but really their enduring magic was in their song-writing, not their performances.  But this is one of those recordings that can't be improved. Period. 

George was not the most prolific of The Beatles, but man when he lit it up he burned bright as the sun itself.  What a gift he was to us all.  We all live more richly on account of him. 

Not to get wacky religious, but this song has a profound spiritual feeling for me and it has even since I heard it as a kid over thirty years ago.

You must not be old enough to remember the "Paul is dead" craze around 1969-70. Paul's different (and bare) foot forward on this album cover was one of the "clues."
