The Beatles
Words and music by George Harrison
Singolo poi incluso nell’album «Abbey Road»

George Harrison la scrisse in un giorno di sconforto, quando si accorse di farsi un po’ schifo ad essere diventato un uomo d’affari tutto intento, come gli altri Beatles, a firmare contratti ed ingaggi a tutto spiano per la loro giovane etichetta Apple Records. Così si rifugiò da Eric Clapton e nel giardino di casa sua, con una delle sue chitarre acustiche, fece un po’ di training autogeno e compose «Ecco che spunta il sole»

Lyrics & Music by Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (Common) [Chorus - Will.i.am and Martin Luther King]
Album: Freedom Writers [Soundtrack] (Various Artists, track 1)
