Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Christina Perri Covers The Beatles' “here comes the sun”
American singer-songwriter Christina Perri covered British rock band The Beatles' “here comes the sun”.
The song is taken from her upcoming fourth studio album “songs for rosie”, which is set to be released on November 24, 2021.
The album is a lullaby album for her late daughter, rosie.
The original version of “here comes the sun” was released by The Beatles from their eleventh studio album “Abbey Road” in 1969.
The track was written by George Harrison.
Christina Perri shared on social media, “my daughter, rosie, was born silent on november 24th 2020. i was already planning on making this lullaby album for her, as her big sister carmella has one too! i thought it was especially important to still do it.”
She continued, “rosie's short and powerful life already served such a huge purpose in our world, and she has lovingly changed me, paul and carmella forever. we are more capable of love and compassion than we ever knew we could be. we learned how to hold space for loss and how to navigate unimaginable grief together and music always heals. releasing these songs for rosie is so important for our hearts.”
She added, “i hope you enjoy these songs that we're singing for her, i hope you play them to your families in her honor. i hope you're inspired to think of anyone you may keep in your heart and most of all to, rosie, our darling girl, we love you forever. come find us again soon.”- Back in 1969, George Harrison said of the song, “Here Comes the Sun” was written at the time when Apple (The Beatles' label) was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen: 'Sign this' and 'Sign that'. Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever; by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided I was going to slag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton's house. The relief of not having to go and see all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around the garden with one of Eric's acoustic guitars and wrote 'Here Comes the Sun.'” via George Harrison Anthology
