Here Comes The Sun – The Beatles

ABBEY ROAD,The Beatles

composed by George Harrison ©1969 Harrisongs Ltd.
 

おひさまがやって来る
おひさまが顔を出すよ
もう大丈夫

 
ビートルズが1969年にリリースしたアルバムABBEY ROADの7曲目。LP盤ではB面の1曲目。ジョージ・ハリスンの作品。

アップルの経営事務にだんだん嫌気が差してきたジョージは、ある日会社を抜け出して親友のエリック・クラプトンの家へ遊びに出掛け、彼の自宅の裏庭でギターを傍らに置いて日光浴をしていた。この時に味わった開放感からごく自然にこの曲の歌詞とメロディーを思いつき、傍らのギターを手にとってクラプトンに聴かせていた。
レコーディングではジョージが購入したばかりの新兵器・Moogシンセサイザーを効果的に使用している。

1977年に打ち上げられたボイジャー搭載のゴールデンレコードに収録される予定だったが、EMIが許可を出さなかったため実現しなかった。


George Harrison 1969
It was written on a nice sunny day this early summer, in Eric Clapton’s garden. We’d been through hell with business, and on that day I just felt as though I was sagging off, like from school, it was like that. I just didn’t come in one day. And just the release of being in the sun and it was just a really nice day. And that song just came. It’s a bit like If I Needed Someone, you know, like that basic sort of riff going through it is the same as all those 'Bells Of Rhymney’ sort of Byrd-type things.

George Harrison 1980
Written at a time when Apple was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen– all this signing accounts, and 'sign this’ and 'sign that.’ Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever; by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided, 'I’m going to sag-off Apple,’ and I went over to Eric Clapton’s house. I was walking in his garden. The relief of not having to go and see all those dopey accountants was wonderful. And I was walking around the garden with one of Eric’s acoustic guitars, and wrote 'Here Comes The Sun.’
