Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
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, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, the smile's returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right

    Memory

    This song is nothing but comfort for me. It was the first song I ever heard, my mom would sing it to me when I had a bad dream, and the night my dad moved out when my parent's divorce was final, I listened to this on the cassette player. Now it's one of my recovery from depression songs. I'm not fully recovered, in fact I just started treatment, but this song makes me smile with the assurance that in my life the sun will come. It seems like when I'm about to fall apart, The Beatles have a song that saves me!

    I don't think this song is about summer. It's about being happy. Being sad (long cold lonely winter) and then being happy again (here comes the sun). A very nice tune. Love it, one of my fav from George.

    My Interpretation

    I love this song, it always makes me feel happy! George Harrison decided not to attend a meeting with Apple and went to Eric Claptons' house. While there he walked around the garden with one of Claptons' guitars and wrote a love song. It is about tomorrow, and the optimism it brings. It has no underlying negativity, or cryptic ideologies. It gives you a sense of something that is coming, something so clear and beneficial. Happiness. It is refreshing; a cold sunny morning.

    When George wrote this song, I think what he was trying to say that every new day brings a chance to start all over and forget the mistakes you made in the past, and that anyone has this opportunity. George talks about winter and the cold and it seems to me that those represent the hardships that he's ready to leave behind to start a new

    My Interpretation

    My take on these lyrics is that is it a reflection on a depressive episode that was lifting and the brighter clearer future is in sight.

    I can't stop listening to this song lately.

    I am going through a huge spiritual awakening. After years of addiction, self will and turning my back on God, I have finally let him into my life. And He is working miracles.

    This song captures it all for me. After that long, cold, dark spiritual winter - the sun (Son?) is finally peeking through. I feel that ice is slowly melting. It feels like years since it's been here. The warmth, the hope, the optimism - all returning like Spring after a cold winter. After all the years of worry, anxiety, self-will, resentment, anger, fear - I have turned my life over to God. And - like George Harrison said - I finally feel like "it's allright".

    George was getting sick of the music business. it had lost its fun with everyone telling him to "play this, sign this, do this." he wanted a break, so he went to his good friend eric clapton's house to relax. he borrowed one of erics acoustic guitars and went for a walk in the garden. he strummed a chord, looked up into the sky just as a cloud passed away from the sun, and said to the sun "here comes the sun and its alright."

    I know this song is about all the great things everyone else has mentioned... but ever since my daughter was born, I have automatically always personally thought of this song being about her. Her smile is perfection and I feel like I am looking at the sun whenever I see her little face light up.

    Memory

    This song reminds me of my friends' mom, Angie. She LOVED this song. When she passed away a little over a year ago, it was one of the hardest things in life for me. First funeral I've ever been to. They also played this at her funeral. Even though it makes sad to know she's gone, but I'll definitely never forget her. Now, I think of it in a good way. Remind myself of all the memories I have of her. It brings me to tears, because I can still hear her voice, her laugh. They're happy tears, though. She was such a beautiful woman. I miss seeing her little short self, hearing her jokes, seeing her smile, & even saying my name. I can still hear it. I just know she's in a better place jamming out with some of The Beatles, living the dream. :) So, R.I.P. Angelia Cooper. Love & miss you. Gone but never forgotten. You'll forever be my always.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
