As brilliant as McCartney's and Lennon's songs were, I believe Here Comes The Sun was the most perfect Beatles' song. It just encapsulates everything genius with this band.
Beautifully said. For the longest time it was my favorite Beatles song.
When your number 3 songwriter writes this, you know you’re in a helluva band.
and Something is arguably right there as their best song, Abbey Road has Johns " I want you " too which is classic that vacuum cleaner doomsday ending used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid
Damn right man
That’s so true
@@clubhouseme that "vacuum cleaner doomsday" sound (great description, BTW) is white noise created by George's brand new moog synthesizer that he had brought into Abbey Road. I had always pictured them all banging on various cybals into a huge crescendo to create that sound.
1 - Pete Best
2 - Stu Sutcliff
3 - George Harrison
George is my favorite beatle. Such a unique dude. The world misses him
Paul by far was the genius of the Beatles. Gifted by God for his melodies.
Never understood the whole George being the best Beatle thing. Imagine Beatles albums with 10 George songs and 2 from Lennon-McCartney.
Then you would have had a Beatles album that sounded like "All Things Must Pass," which would have been O.K. with me.@@edmunddonnelly3881
The Quiet Beatle made their most universally loved song. Harrison was a genius.
Thats not true,
One of them.
Yeah... Here comes the Sun is the most popular Beatles song on Spotify with more than 700 million streams...

@@patrickkelly7085 have you even read my comment? Looks like you have some issues...
"Here comes the Sun" is the most cheerful song in the universe...no wonder that NASA wanted to send it to space....❤️
I think they figured that the subject matter about sunlight was universal. Literally!
You've gotta love his voice, so warm, sensitive and bendy
Funny to think that it’s the most popular streamed song on Spotify with almost 690 million listens. Beautiful song.
Things have a way of falling into place once all of the noise is over. Having it as the opening track on Side 2 of Abbey Road sort of makes it the cherry on top of musical greatness.
um there's tens of songs with over a billion streams on Spotify?
@@ethancouldridge8960 he means the Beatles most streamed song
Ironically Spotify gives the worst deal for musicians.
@@johnmc3862 the spotify deal is not that bad, it's just thatb the big labels keep most of the money for themselves and the artists get peanuts...
I've always beaten the piss out of cd's , and I'd always tolerated the scratches until they touched upon the Harrison songs. His were the ones lost that only ever absolutely forced me into the music shops.
0:57 I love the satisfied expression on Ringo's face like "Nailed it".
This song is the musical embodiment of spring. It has a wonderful lightness and joy that no other piece has ever come close to, including those by classical composers centuries ago. As a virtuoso jazz guitarist (born ten years after the Beatles had split up) once told me: "When the word "Beatles" is said, the eyes of musicians from every genre and style light up. The Beatles - that´s the classical music of the 20th century."
Miss him..his voice, soul and music. Very cool guy.
So much
One of Ringo's best playing ever, is on this song..
A Thinker...and Visionary for a more than one way world 🎉Thank you George
One of the most beautiful songs.
The best part of the song is the drums after "It's alright". The same goes for „Sun Sun Sun, here we come“
George was a wonderfull man gone to youn
Lennon and McCartney were great together and after they had great careers but George Harrison outshone them as a single song writer. The outshone is a perfect tribute to a man that brought the world so much light and love.
Two years ago I was working for a home-care client who was watching a rerun of the show "Glee." One of the "Glee" cast members was performing "Here Comes the Sun" and I spontaneously said, "Oh, George!" He said, "I thought that song was by The Beatles!" I said, "It was, but George Harrison wrote it." Then he said, "I thought Paul wrote all their songs." I've loved "Here Comes the Sun" since I first heard "Abbey Road" on its release in late 1969 and I love the story of how Ringo had to work hard to come up with a drum part for it.
Eric Clapton talking about George visiting and how he and George walked in the garden. George sat down and started to play the beginning of his new song "Here comes the sun". Clapton said he listened as George gave birth to his masterpiece. Clapton sincerely loved George. I get misty thinking about all the good George has done in the world.
And I miss him.
He loved him so much he stole his wife! What love!
If only good deeds could get you to heaven.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 Your understanding (conceptual/procedural) of "Heaven" differs from mine. Which is alright as long as it is not forced on others. Peace and good health.
@@fartpooboxohyeah8611 and George tried to steel Ringo's wife : Maureen! These people were great musicians but NOT angels!
Why is this a hauntingly beautiful song that gives you goosebumps on each listen every time, because it has many layers of instruments so neatly stuffed that every time you listen you think you have perhaps figured all harmonies and melodies until the next time when you figure out something new or perhaps you discover the new subtleties that perhaps are a little different this time!! It's a marvel, an architect's sorcery!!
Love you George, Love live The Beatles!!
I love ringos honestly here ❤️ doesn’t pretend to be anywhere near as technically able as Harrison, that is nice to hear from one of the most well known musicians in all of history 👍
George Harrison 🖤 time traveller 🥺
What a fabulous tune
there are certain things any one person can say that they are lucky to have this or lucky because of that but to be the one person that can say I was there to see this song being crafted and to hear it come to life for the first time, is to me a very lucky person.
One of the best songs from Abbey Road in my opinion. Written in Eric Clapton's garden.
I played that album 100’s of times around that time. It was stunning . Everyone knew it was George’s song.
@@lorrainestone5141 It's definitely up there. I like your taste in music
Probably the best song ever written. I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like that song.
In my humble opinion, the best beatle songs are:
1) Here comes the sun
2) Real Love
3) Yesterday
4) Free as a bird
What’s Claptons garden got to do with it?
@@TheJoseph5117 I'm assuming they're amazed with the creativity and ease George Harrison wrote it with in an instant in a garden
great example of why Ringo was so right for them
George's most beautiful song (well, actually it's a tie with "Something" and "My Sweet Lord") -- and I think it's wonderful that this video ends with the very last song on George Harrison's last album (Brainwashed): the "Namah Parvati" mantra, which is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Parvati, chanted in unison by Harrison and his son Dhani Harrison.
the guitar bridge in "I'd have you anytime", the closing lick in the Octo[us' garden guitar bridge, I could go on and on and on on and on. Gee whillikers.
Those pagan Eastern religions are occultic, invented by Satan. You burn in hell if you get involved in them. 🔥 Rev. 21:8. Also, goddess worship is witchcraft. That's the occult--satanic.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 you offensive moron ......no idea.
@@jackstraw9244 lol
@@floogelhornzzz4770 You obviously have never had a real education. Just parroting something you saw or heard but never actually thought out. "Invented by Satan..." -- that is patently one of the most ridiculous things someone would write.
"Here Comes The Sun" is my favorite Beatles song, and it goes further than that for me; It is in the running for the greatest popular rock song written and recorded up until now. Among all the great things Eric Clapton has done and witnessed, he may consider it a privilege to have been present and taken part in it's birth.
Something has to rank up there too. These two songs cemented George's place as a songwriter and IMO put him on equal footing with Lennon- McCartney....
@@Thundergod- George is not on equal footing with John and Paul. Even though George wrote many great songs he wasn't producing music at the same rate as the others. You can say he wasn't given a chance but he was. Many songs that George wrote were rejected for not being up to Beatles standards.
@@JFF35753 Play All Things Must Pass, the 3LP Masterpiece by George.Nothing Lennon or McCartney did post-Beatles can compare. Many of the songs on it were rejected by John and Paul because they called the shots not
because they weren't good enough. It was 2 votes against 1 with Ringo not even counting....
George eras mágico !!!!
One of the things I noticed with Abbey Road and Let it Be was they seemed to be about things ending or moving on. I thought that George talking about the sun coming for him to do more or less than he had been doing while part of the band.
John and Paul's volume of music was greater than George, Here come the Sun is my favorite Beatles song. It's all there. There's a mathematical precision to the song that's unequalled in Pop music.
true with you..there all full of precision
Yes, but george has as at least as many 10 ten songs as john and paul.
You need mathematical precision. Check out YES .
@@kmcd1000 As great as Something and I Need You are, in fact they are my favorite Beatles songs, your statement is really pushing it. Unless you mean their solo songs.
John & Paul wrote the greater amount of songs because at first, It them who really Knew how to write songs. It took a year or so for George to catch on and develop the craft! 🎵🎸
Didn't see the Wilbury's songs he created in the list, but the rest were magical, including the Indian music on the end. Nice one!
Wah wah… one of my favorites of all time.. he has so many favorites
When "Here Comes The Sun" came out, there was "Sunshine"! Those of you who were there, know what I mean. The combination was UNBELIEVABLE! That whole album fit like a gluuuv!
Favorite song ever
The world misses you George Harrison😑😌🙏
It just hit me when "These Songs Written by George Harrison" appeared, that the font used for the credits is the exact same as on the cover of All Things Must Pass. The words "George Harrison" are EXACTLY as they are on the album.
That got me kind of emotional: All Things Must Pass--at the end of the film about George's life. Wow.
where is 'Apple Scruffs'? actually, I'm sure they missed a few.
Inspirational acoustic number penned by George that evokes a very pleasant ambience; a great and very creative guitarist who was underrated as a songwriter - but then he was in the same group as Lennon and McCartney! Enjoyed the upload, thanks
Same can be said for Alex Lifeson of Rush. Only the true fans know just how freaking good he really is, because he was in a band with Neil Peart and Geddy Lee.
A legend and wonderful being ❤ George.
For the most part, It wasn't till the end of the Beatles that Paul and John would truly appreciate George's song writing ability. Post Beatles, I preferred George's music the most.
Absolutely
Any top ten Beatles songs has to include,here comes the sun,something,while my guitar…………..what an amazing contribution.
My favourite Beatle. ❤
Love the harmony and rhythm of this song.....,
Definitely The Muse spirit, downloaded this into George’s brain.
Grata pela postagem 🙏
At the peak of their creativity! 🤗
Yeah, and then they broke up! 😥
1970 I graduated from high school, this song seemed to open up the world 4 me .
I was also 4-F ✌👽
Graduated from HS 1966. I was 1A.
My two favourite songs by George Harrison : Here Comes the Sun & Run of the Mill.
He had so many good ones Robert but those two are excellent choices.
Abbey Road! The greatest album in history with the most iconic cover ever.
Besides being great friends, Eric seemed such an older brother to George musically...
I've sat on the king's mound (away from the crowds) at Stonehenge at sunrise on the solstice and we've all sang this... Here comes the sun... do da do da... here comes the sun ... it's alright... do da do da...
George also wrote, along with John "Cry For A Shadow", a wonderful instrumental tribute to The Shadows.
This was my favourite song when I was 18.
I love this song
When the sun makes a rare appearance in England, it certainly inspires a song.
Try living in ireland
"not my tempo"
Said no one to Ringo ever...
So cool!
Perfectly George amazing forever young always Pamela xxo
There is a playlist of song's in heaven. Here Comes The Sun is on repeat.
There are no complaints.
It is heaven.
Oh man, well said, thanks! 😊
Knobhead
My favorite George Harrison composition.
beautiful vid
Nice vid, but it woulda been nice if you had played the actual "7" part that Ringo was speaking about when he was speaking about it instead of playing the verse section. I enjoyed the pics too, most of which I'd never seen before.
Yeah, George !!!
‘Nuff. Said.
this song is my favorite beatles song.
John and Paul locked up the song credits early. If Paul was working on a tune, let's say And I Love Her and is stuck. George comes in and adds that cool guitar intro that sets the mood for the tune, the credit is Lennon-McCartney even though John may have been nowhere in sight. George gets a Thanks mate, see you later. George was the second best songwriter in the group. A late bloomer as it were.
unique ! George is missed ! he was on a search for a life reason , He tried everything to try & understand , I can only pay homage to him & his music . I once saw him at a meeting , just trying to find the truth .
He should have stuck to his English Protestant heritage. The Bible is the only true road to salvation. John 14:6, Exodus 20:3.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 George was raised in the Catholic Church, not Protestant. He left Catholicism, but later incorporated the teachings of Christ in his spiritual practice.
Whatever "It" is, George had "It"
And then Clapton runs off with George’s missus and breaks his heart. Yeah, nice one, Eric.
Well she had some responsibility I would suppose. Sad though. I always didn't like that about Clapton but I guess he is a human being
''magic''.
My favorite George Harrison song here comes the Sun 🌞🌞😎
Mine too. Followed by If I Needed Someone and Something.
National treasure...all 4 beatles
Agreed.
One of my top ten by the Beatles
Sun and Long and winding road considered by many to be 2 of the most beautiful songs ever written. Figures they would come from the Beatles. Sheer genius.
I'm very curious about what guitar George is using. It's not his Ramirez because the Ramirez has concentric dark circles around the sound hole. Also the neck looks narrower. I can't see the headstock well enough to see a name. It looks a lot like a '60s lightweight 00 or 000 Martin. But at 1:21 you can see the headstock and it doesn't look like the Martin logo. I really want to know!
Update: I was looking into this more, and George said this was Eric's guitar. I still wonder what model of guitar it is.
An effortlessly brilliant song, and one which seems so simple until you realise the weird rhythms in the bridge that Ringo had to work out! Almost certainly the most popular Beatles song sung by buskers, certainly in London, which says it all.
These are difficult times we live in that make what Lennon and McCartney put Ringo through look simple. I watched Ringo play with some high powered binoculars when he was out on tour with Todd Rundgren. I’ve used a crushed hi hat along with my operable hi hat ever since. Thanks Ringo👍🏻
What? Binoculars? Crushed hi hat?
I was using binoculars. Rundgren was playing Clapton‘s old Gibson SG called the fool. I could see every detail of the cool paint job. Ringo was running a loosely crushed high hat mounted on his bass drum. And of course he also had an operable hi hat. With a combination of high hats like that and a piccolo snare off to the left of my regular snare I was able to do some very interesting work. Lots of very accomplished musicians would come stand behind my kit to see my chops.
Love 💕 Ringo🎶
all these years later, it's the most popular Beatles song, by a landslide.
My Favorite Album, All Things Must Pass, was I think the best post Beatles by any of them.
anyone know the piece at the end...?
it would have been nice if George would have been able to have contributed more of his music to the Beatles albums. i didn't like all of his stuff, but many of them Don't Bother Me etc; offered a different musical perspective that enriched the experience
of listening to them.
Kinda agree but then I think, "it all worked out as it should've". Everyone brought something to the table.
George deserved four songs on Abbey Road. His songwriting was the best in the band in 1969. John's triumph was A Hard Days Night. Paul's was Sgt Pepper's. George's should have been Abbey Road.
@@neilpemberton5523 Ya, he was maturing as a songwriter. His song 'Beware of Darkness' and ' My Sweet Lord'
are gorgeous tunes that touched on some emotions that few songwriters are able to express. Unfortunately
tho for George his 'experience' with 'My Sweet Lord' kinda crippled his creative development and had (i believe) a stymied effect on that development. He got ripped-off. What could have been didn't happen
and his slide playing has his own musical stamp. and if we had more George songs, we'd have more slide.
Sometimes I wish they had decided to do a whole album of George's music when they were squabbling with each other as a way to bring them all back together on the same page. It would have been the ultimate act of selflessness, especially on the part of John and Paul. As 'All Things Must Pass' proved, George had a lot of great tunes they could have done.
What is the Indian song at the end?

MOST STREAMED BEATLES SONG NOW IN 2021
Music the Beatles never dies in the words
Hari Hari Maha Deva
And Ringo plays nice drums in it.
Remember seeing George perform this as a duet with consummate musician and poet Paul Simon. Simon sang and played it immaculately and you could see he enjoyed the experience: th-cam.com/video/KEgBMTMUanU/w-d-xo.html
Here's another fine performance by PS: th-cam.com/video/8XJtCQhVAmo/w-d-xo.html
On SNL, 1978
Oh, yeah! The those duets are so gorgeous! I ca n listen to it over and over!
Do you know of others?
The best Beatle it's as simple as that
As far as I know, only George and Paul recorded it. No other Beatle was in the studio that day - according to the book by Mark Hertsgaard who had the chance to listen to every single minute of tape the Beatles had ever recorded at the Abbey Road studio in all those years.
According to Ian MacDonald's book Revolution In The Head it was George Paul and Ringo, and Ringo clearly remembers playing on it.
It's definitely Ringo's drumming, not Paul's.
John had been in a car accident prior, and was recovering, so the other three recorded it without him.
@@neilpemberton5523 Ringo(and the tune) sounds so fresh 50+years later. but as original as George is here, I can hear Buddy Holly in it. Lennon did say ,when 'Abbey Road' came out that "we have a song by George w/ a Buddy Holly sort of feel". he never spoke truer words.
George wrote also Don't bother me in 1963 and chains of love i 1962
Didn’t write chains
Will go down as the greatest Beatles song of all time
Some of the strongest contenders for that title (like A Day in the Life, for one) have big Lennon signatures allover them whereas this one John didn't even play on it (though he did try and assist George with getting the lyric completed. Such was the depth of talent in that band. They may not be forever the greatest - but for now, they undeniably are.
@@ianbartle456 i disagree. I dont see anyone in the near or far future ever outdoing these lads from liverpool. There musical impact will Forever be relevant to whoever comes after. There influence on culture and music will be talked about till the end of time.
They missed out 'Taxman' on that list.
Good catch
Also missed Sour Milk Sea.
And Not Guilty
Yes, Taxman is amazing, and it really hit home, bringing out George's more acid side. Though it must be said, Paul's bass line contribution and oriental-style guitar solo are fundamental to the song.
that list should include blow away , got my mind set on you, when we was fab,
Does Ringo age???
The list at the end......no 'long,long,long' ?
And I say.... it's alright! God couldn't have said it better!
Picture at 2.00 looks like Yogananda's Lake Shrine to me.
hope you've seen the film 'AWAKE' on his life . George is in it, and it closes out w/ 'give me love' (give me peace on earth).
@@tonym994 Yes I've seen and heard everything Yogananda.
