<Ul> <Li> file </Li> <Li> help </Li> </Ul> <P> "Here Comes the Sun" is a song written by George Harrison that was first released on the Beatles' 1969 album Abbey Road . Along with "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", it is one of Harrison's best - known compositions from the Beatles era . The song was written at the country house of his friend Eric Clapton, where Harrison had chosen to play truant for the day, to avoid attending a meeting at the Beatles' Apple Corps organisation . The lyrics reflect the composer's relief at both the arrival of spring and the temporary respite he was experiencing from the band's business affairs . </P> <P> The Beatles recorded "Here Comes the Sun" at London's EMI Studios in the summer of 1969 . Led by Harrison's acoustic guitar, the recording also features Moog synthesizer, which he had introduced to the Beatles' 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 a series of unusual time changes . </P> <P> "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 . Richie Havens and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel each had hit singles with "Here Comes the Sun" in the 1970s . Nina Simone, George Benson, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Peter Tosh and Joe Brown are among the many other artists who have covered the song . </P>
