Here Comes The Sun

Some time ago in IM conversation my friend Neddie Jingo promised one of his famous Beatle deconstructions on “Here Comes The Sun.” I’m hoping that this post will inspire him to get going on it.

“Here Comes The Sun” for me represents the best from the best and the best. It is the best George Harrison song, from the best side of the best Beatle Album, which happens to be the best album of all time from the best band of all time. Perfect, optimistic lyrics, beautiful acoustic guitars played flawlessly, sublime bass part from the best rock bass player ever, understated synthe parts that sound as if they just sprouted naturally, soaring harmonies that are simultaneously angelic and down-to-earth, a lead vocal performance that is both honest and effortless and Ringo supporting it all with his unique style of drumming. This is why they invented the phrase “ear candy.”
