Here Comes the Sun

Hello!

I hope this newsletter finds you well.

Have you heard this song, Here Comes the Sun?

I used to sing this song to my daughter as a baby as a lullaby.

Yes. I know. A Beatles song is not a lullaby song, but hey! It worked really well to calm her down and go to bed.

“Here Comes the Sun” celebrates hope, resilience, and the simple joys of nature.

I think many of us should sing this song every once in a while.

The Beatles' eleventh studio recording, Abbey Road, was released on September 26, 1969, 55 years ago. “Here Comes the Sun” was the seventh song.

George Harrison wrote the song, and since George, like the rest of The Beatles, was from Liverpool, today we will explore Liverpool, UK.
