“Here Comes The Sun”

One of the greatest Beatle songs of them all is only the second-best George Harrison contribution to “Abbey Road.” He wrote it one morning in Eric Clapton’s garden after blowing off another business meeting guaranteed to degenerate into bickering about band finances. Harrison said he just didn’t want to deal with a bunch of dopey accountants yet again. This was recorded over two distinct time frames. John didn’t participate because he was recovering from a car accident during the first group of sessions, and George finished the song pretty much by himself during the second group. He and Paul did all the vocals; Harrison played the Moog parts. I could listen to this on an endless loop.
