Song: Here Comes The Sun
Artist: The Beatles
I probably heard this song first when I was very young, but it wasn't until I was an adult that it really meant so much to me. That time in my life was a big transition and had been really difficult to get through. But this song overflows with optimism and positive energy. That's why I still love it- no matter what's going on with me when I listen to it, it always brings me up.
Musically speaking- the guitar part is beautiful, the melody soothing, and I'm always a sucker for well placed hand clapping.
And you'll notice I chose the version from the 2006 release "Love". I personally feel that it accentuates the mood and message of the song with the few changes George Martin made.
It's a gorgeous piece of music that I feel anyone can love.
this became my favorite song during my freshman year of college when i was homesick (and freezing) in cedar city, where the sun hides for about 9 months of narnia-esque winter....my dad mailed me a CD (he'd just discovered how to download music) that included 8 different versions of Here Comes the Sun. then it was officially my favorite. cover artists included coldplay, jewel, some reggae guy, etc....but you know the original will always be best.
