George Harrison wrote “Here Comes the Sun” in Eric Clapton’s garden in 1969, taking a day away from Apple Corps’ business problems. The song captured his growing confidence as a songwriter during the Beatles’ strained final period and became one of the band’s most enduring recordings.

Harrison used a Moog synthesiser on the track, bringing the instrument to a Beatles recording for the first time; it also appeared on “Because”, “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”. Though never released as a single, “Here Comes the Sun” has since amassed nearly two billion Spotify streams and is described in the article as the Beatles’ most-played song.
