Here Comes the Sun Lyrics

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all...

    I view "Here Comes the Sun", as where someone has lost a family member, from the cause of death. The song, about the sun coming out, assures the surviving family members that everything is eventually going to be fine.

    it just meant winter was over. every year on the 1st day of spring you can always hear it and Aquarius a dozen times a day. they both made a person feel good inside

    I view this song a little differently. the sun is a big light, like what people see when they are dying. it doesnt necessarily mean the end of his life is coming, but it could be the end of something else, like a graduation. he is saying the end is coming and he is okay with that because whatever is ending had a good run and it's time to move on.
    this is how I see the song because I'm graduating from a school I have been going to for 9 years and it just set in I'm leaving. so I know the end is near, and even though it's hard to understand, I'm okay with it. :)

    this song was written by george harrison , after he found out about erik clapton and his wife patty and he makes his feelings about maureen starkey ( ringos wife) popular. Futhermore the band has had the first discussions about the finance management and george hate his job. So one morning he spend by his best friend clapton he saw the sun rise and the hope that all will be good influte him ...

    This song is about WWII.
    If you listen closely, there's a sound like a bomb dropping in the beginning.
    The long cold lonely winter is the war.
    The sun (sun sun, here it comes) is the bomb. . .
    and "it feels like years since it's been here" is about peace.

    I think this song is about how their life is changing for the better. It wasnt going so great but the future looks promising.

    I think this song is about freedom.
    John and Paul didn't let George to sing his songs and record them up.
    Sometimes the sun means freedom- for people who was in the prison a lot of time.
    I think George felt that he is finelly free to express his ideas.
    George Harold Harrison- Rest in peace!!!!

    The Truth is ...Paul, John and Ringo all thought George was not creative to write a song However, Not only did Gearge write a song for the album (Abbey Road) it later would prove to be the most popular of all the songs on that album ...The Song ?...."Here comes the sun"

    This song is really about George's 2nd wife, Olivia. She was with Eric Clapton, and was really unhappy. He wrote this when they got married.

    I think that this song means that things are kind of crappy now but the sun will come out, meaning everything will get better, and it will all be alright

    This is when Abbey Road road came out in 1969 when they were having some problems. Lennon wrote it in I think Eric Clapton's house? He was basically saying how he feels less stress when he's not working and recording.

    this may be a song that is going down as an anthem. i remember when i would drive to work on the first day of spring the radio dj would play this song along with aquarious. it was like " hey we made it through another winter, i was an appliance repair technician and drove allover westchester county, ny . it wasn't fun in those old ford vans with the engine right next to you instead of in front. spring is here

    This was off the Abbey Road album (obviously) and tensions were REALLY high. George took a break and went to Eric Clapton's house, and wrote Here Comes the Sun in his garden. It's about how he's happy when he's out of the recording studio because he's free from the tension.
