George Harrison Shared Details About Writing 'Here Comes the Sun'
In 2023, the official Beatles YouTube account released an interview wherein George Harrison discussed writing "Here Comes the Sun." He explained that he came up with the hit while he and his bandmates, who split up in 1970, had a deal with certain business aspects they didn't find enjoyable.
"'Here Comes The Sun' was the same period where we had meetings and meetings, and all these banks, bankers, and lawyers, and all sorts of things, and it was really awful. Because it's not the sort of thing we enjoy," said Harrison, who died in 2001 at the age of 58.
He recalled that he decided to "not come into the office" and instead spent the day at his "friend's house in the country."
"And it was just sunny. And it was all this release of the tension that had been building up on me. And it was this really nice sunny day. And I picked up the guitar, which was the first time I played the guitar for a couple of weeks, because I'd been so busy. And the first thing that came out was that song," continued Harrison.
