It was written by George Harrison and is one of his best-known compositions for the Beatles. Harrison wrote the song in early 1969 at the country house of his friend Eric Clapton, where Harrison had chosen to play truant for the day to avoid attending a business meeting at the Beatles’ Apple Offices. The lyrics reflect his relief at the arrival of spring and the temporary respite he was experiencing from the band's business affairs. The Beatles recorded ‘Here Comes the Sun’ at London's EMI Studios in the summer of 1969. Led by Harrison's acoustic guitar, the track features Moog synthesizer, which he had introduced to the band's sound after acquiring an early model of the instrument in California. Reflecting the continued influence of Indian classical music on Harrison's writing, the composition includes several time signature changes. ‘Here Comes the Sun’ has received acclaim from music critics. Combined with his other contribution to Abbey Road, ‘Something‘, it gained for Harrison the level of recognition as a songwriter that had previously been reserved for his bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Harrison played the song during many of his relatively rare live performances as a solo artist, including at the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971 and, with Paul Simon, during his appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1976. Nina Simone, George Benson, Booker T & the MGs, Peter Tosh and Joe Brown are among the many other artists who have covered the song. MUSICAL STRUCTURE The original recording is in the key of A major. One feature is the increasing syncopation in the vocal parts. Another feature is the guitar flat-picking. The lyric (‘Sun, sun, sun, here it comes’) has been described as taking ‘on the quality of a meditator's mantra’. RECORDING Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr recorded the rhythm track at EMI Studios (subsequently Abbey Road Studios) in 13 takes on 7 July 1969. John Lennon did not contribute to the song, as he was recovering from a car crash. Towards the end of the session, Harrison spent an hour re-recording his acoustic guitar part. He put a capo on the 7th fret resulting in the final key of A major, which was then vari-speeded by less than a semitone. The following day he taped his lead vocals, and he and McCartney recorded their backing vocals twice to give a fuller sound. Harrison overdubbed an electric guitar and the orchestral parts were added on 15 August. He also added further acoustic guitar during the 6 and 11 August sessions. The master tapes reveal that Harrison recorded a guitar solo that was not included in the final mix. A harmonium and handclaps were added on 16 July. Recording was completed on 19 August with the addition of a Moog synthesizer part. In the description of authors Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco, writing in their book on the history and legacy of the Moog synthesizer, Harrison uses it throughout ‘Here Comes the Sun’, and the instrument's ‘increasing brilliance of timbre’ on the track serves to convey ‘the sun's increasing brilliance’. The mixing session on 20 August 1969, when the band oversaw the creation of the master tape for Abbey Road, marked the last time that all four Beatles were together in the recording studio. At this point, ‘Here Comes the Sun’ was sequenced as the album's opening song.
