Meditative Music

“Here Comes the Sun,” by George Harrison, is one of those most amazing songs that seem to have come from the heart.

The story goes that Harrison was completely frustrated with how things were going on the business end of the Beatles’ lives. He paid a visit to Eric Clapton’s garden to relax, and while strumming one of Clapton’s guitars, created one of the highlights of Abbey Road.

It is rare that I make any covers, but I simply had to do this one. This new version was made after spending about a week learning the exact song and then allowing it to grow through my own variations. It is more of a piece born in the theme than a direct cover, while the source is clearly heard. As with all my musical works so far, it is entirely instrumental.

In order to raise the funds necessary to pay the royalties, a Fundable account was created. Thanks to all of you super-awesome contributers, this rendition of Here Comes the Sun is now available. I say many many thank-yous.
